-Evan was taken aback by Serenity’s serious expression and repeatedly asked, “Sister-in-law, what did I do wrong? Please tell me what I did that was wrong. I will apologize immediately.”

At the same time, Evan reflected on his actions. It felt like ages since he last saw Serenity. How could he have possibly offended his sister-in-law?

It had only been ten and a half days since his return to Wiltspoon. During this time, he hadn’t even visited the villa or intruded upon his brother and sister-in-law’s peaceful life.

Evan struggled to recall any moment when he might have upset Serenity.

Eventually, he regained his composure.

He knew he hadn’t done anything to offend Serenity. If he had, she wouldn’t have invited him to dinner; instead, she would have had Zachary confront him directly or complained to their parents.

Evan exclaimed, “Sister-in-law, you’re terrifying me! After thinking it over, I truly believe I couldn’t have done anything to upset you. Besides, if I had made a mistake, you would address it directly rather than inviting me to dinner.”

Serenity smiled and replied, “That’s correct. You haven’t offended me. So why do you feel guilty?”

Evan: “…”

Was he feeling guilty?

Evan was merely anxious, which made him restless and unable to focus on his work. That’s why he came to see Zachary early, hoping for some clarification.

But it turned out Serenity was there instead.

He wouldn’t be able to get any answers from Zachary.

“Sister-in-law, did you say that I did something wrong?” Evan asked Serenity directly.

Serenity replied, “If I don’t tell you now, you’ll figure it out later at dinner. In short, I can’t tolerate your actions and believe you’ve gone too far.”

Evan: “…”

After a two-minute silence, he stood up and poured a glass of warm water for Serenity. He…

Then he approached the snack shelf, selected a few snacks, and placed them respectfully in front of her.

Serenity remarked, “Your elder brother prepared these snacks for me.”

This was not a display of Evan’s filial piety towards her.

Evan replied, “Sister-in-law, I know you enjoy these snacks. I’ll send a truckload over to you another day.”

Serenity responded, “If I eat too many snacks, I won’t be able to eat the main meal, and your elder brother will be upset.”

Since she was pregnant, she needed to prepare food for one person but consume it for two, which meant she had to eat dinner.

Zachary made her snacks to help pass the time when she was bored, but he did not allow her to overindulge.

She worried that if she ate too many snacks, she wouldn’t have room for the main meal, which was certainly more nutritious.

It was time to replenish the nutrients in her belly.

Evan remained silent.

Serenity added, “There’s no need to worry about trying to please me. You’ll understand when I tell you what to do regarding meals.”

Serenity was increasingly resembling Zachary.

Could it be true that proximity to ink darkens one, while closeness to vermilion brightens one?

Serenity enjoyed her snacks at a leisurely pace.

Sonny was engrossed in a book.

Seeing that he couldn’t get a response from Serenity, Evan quietly took a seat at Zachary’s desk.

He looked at Zachary with pity.

Zachary appeared unaware, calmly attending to his official duties.

“Brother!” Evan called softly.

Zachary didn’t lift his head and replied in a low voice, “I heard what your sister-in-law said.”

Evan pressed, “Brother, you must know the reason. Please tell me what’s going on, or I won’t be able to…”

“unable to eat any longer.”
