The York family had been without a daughter for several generations, and the Johnson family was well aware of this. Old Mrs. Johnson had a daughter but no granddaughter. However, Jane now had a great-granddaughter, which alleviated her regret over not having a granddaughter. Mrs. Johnson was not particularly sympathetic to Old Mrs. York’s wish for a great-granddaughter.

Zachary and Serenity were approaching their one-year anniversary of marriage, yet Serenity’s condition had not changed. Old Mrs. Johnson was cautious about discussing children with Old Mrs. York, fearing that it would raise expectations for a great-grandson and place undue pressure on Serenity.

Serenity’s situation was indeed challenging. Fortunately, she had married Zachary and had not yet given birth. The York family had a commendable family culture, and the elders were quite progressive. Additionally, Zachary did not have any issues with Serenity’s family background.

Although Jane’s family background was not poor, the Johnson family had not held any prejudice against her back then, and the Murphy family was prosperous. Moreover, Jane had recognized her biological parents and unexpectedly became the eldest granddaughter of the Meadspring Lafayette family, which significantly elevated her status.

The head of the Lafayette family was Jane’s mother’s twin elder brother. After Jane’s father stepped down, he divided his private property equally among his children. Now, Jane set aside her position as the youngest mistress of the Johnson family and relied on her own substantial assets, boasting a net worth in the tens of billions.

Serenity could not compete with that.

As a result, Old Mrs. Johnson believed that the York family truly had a commendable family culture, and the elders were remarkably open-minded. Old Mrs. York was particularly selective about her granddaughter-in-law, prioritizing character above all else.

“Don’t say that, old sister. Ben is…

Ben is also a very good kid, comparable to Zack. In my opinion, Ben is the better of the two. He has a much better temperament, while Zack tends to have a poor temper. This is why Serenity can tolerate Zack; if she were with someone else, it’s likely they would have small arguments for three days and a significant fight within five days.

While I don’t want to overlook Ben, Remy is also an impressive individual whom I admire greatly. If only I had a granddaughter, I would love to see Remy marry her.

When Remy was brought up, Old Mrs. Johnson inquired, “How are things between Remy and Elisa? I heard from daughter-in-law Alannah that Audrey has always disapproved of Remy and is reluctant to have her daughter marry him. Remy has been based in Wiltspoon for a long time, managing the business there. What sets him apart from the locals?”

It seems that the daughter-in-law is too eager and wants to take matters into her own hands. Remy believes it’s not appropriate for him to meet his parents at this time, insisting that he can manage his own affairs without their involvement.

Audrey’s stubbornness is quite frustrating. However, her concerns aren’t about Remy’s worth; she only has one daughter, Elisa, and she genuinely doesn’t want her to marry away.

Audrey Farrell (Fisher) was her maiden name, and Old Mrs. Johnson only knew that her surname was Stone, not that it was Farrell.

“That’s interesting. I only know of one family named Farrell in Jensburg…”

Old Mrs. York abruptly fell silent. The Farrell name is relatively uncommon, and although Audrey shares it, the Farrell family in Jensburg is notable for being matriarchal, with the eldest daughter wielding power.

When Old Mrs. York was considering Hayden as a potential granddaughter-in-law, she had been actively engaged in the matter.

Jensburg has a long history. Along with covertly examining Hayden’s character and abilities, she also uncovered information about several prominent families in Jensburg. The Farrell family stood out as the most unique, prompting her to investigate them further.
