Taking care of Sonny before he turned two was quite challenging.
When the conversation shifted to children, Abby felt out of place since she wasn’t even married yet.
Although she had aspirations for marriage, it might not happen.
After chatting for a while, the students left kindergarten.
Sonny was sitting at the cash register, playing, while the three adults were preoccupied.
They were so engrossed that it grew dark, signaling the start of evening classes. Serenity suggested to the two of them, “Let’s go out for dinner.”
“I want hot pot,” Jasmine replied eagerly.
Serenity looked at Jasmine and asked, “Hot pot again? Have you been craving it lately?”
Jasmine replied, “I always enjoy hot pot in the winter.”
Serenity turned to Abby, who said, “I’m fine with that. I’ll eat whatever you all decide.”
With a smile, the heavily pregnant woman declared, “Let’s go have hot pot.”
Jasmine grinned and remarked, “It sounds like you don’t see yourself as a big-bellied woman. The baby in your belly is just over a month younger than mine.”
“A little over a month is still small. By the time your baby is born, mine will still be inside,” Serenity responded.
She picked up Sonny’s small schoolbag and called out, “Sonny, let’s go; time for hot pot!”
Sonny beamed with joy; he loved hot pot because it was lively with so many people.
“Auntie, my uncles Zack, Josh, and Duncan will join us for hot pot, too!”
Sonny walked around the checkout counter and instinctively opened his arms to be hugged by Serenity. But remembering that she was pregnant with his little brother, he hesitated, realizing it might tire her, and quickly lowered his arms.
Before he knew it, he was lifted into the air by Abby.
Serenity said, “Your uncles are busy,
The four of us are going to eat,” Sonny groaned, feeling that the group was still a bit small, but it was just the four of them.
After closing the bookstore door, they encountered the owner of the neighboring shop. Serenity and Jasmine greeted them and exchanged a few words before quickly getting into the car and leaving, all while others smiled at them.
The shop owners in the area hadn’t changed; they were the same as before. He had witnessed Serenity enter a wealthy family.
One shop owner sighed, saying, “Jasmine and Serenity are truly lucky, especially Serenity; it’s hard not to feel envious.”
Jasmine came from a demolition household with numerous houses and shops. The monthly rent collected was more than most people could earn in a lifetime, making her financially secure.
When Serenity married into the York family, in addition to opening her bookstore, she also knitted small items to sell online for extra income. Although her monthly earnings were impressive for Wiltspoon, compared to the wealthy, she still counted among the less fortunate.
However, if she couldn’t endure it, her life would still be manageable.
She had suddenly soared, transforming from an ordinary person into the eldest mistress of the largest and wealthiest family in Wiltspoon. Now pregnant again, giving birth to a son would secure her position as the heir for the York family.
The young boss’s wife remarked, “Husband, you’ve always said that some people are born into wealth and honor. No one can envy that kind of destiny. There are moments in life that are meant to happen, but…”
There is no time in life; don’t force it. You have already learned two techniques. I asked for your help to review them, and you always smiled, saying, “Let me just accept the status quo.” Is this how I will spend my entire life?”
The young boss said to his wife, “Are you dissatisfied? Our family has a house, a car, savings, and property in the center of Wiltspoon City, which puts us ahead of many others. Now, we only need to focus on our children’s education.”
When her husband said this, the landlady was left speechless. While their life may not compare to Serenity’s, it still surpasses that of many others.
Be content.
