Serenity and Zachary York



Even though there was a nanny and a butler at home, a mother would still have to devote her attention to caring for her child. Sometimes, this would keep her so busy her husband would be neglected.

By then, there would be little chance for the couple to have time alone together like they did now. Tania understood this from experience.

“Alright. Once winter break starts, I'll bring Sonny back for a couple of days." Serenity could not bear to ruin Tania's joy, so she decided to bring Sonny back to visit before their week-long trip to Annenburg. They would be back by Christmas.

"Just for a couple of days? Is Sonny going to Jensburg?" Tania asked in concern. "Jensburg is so cold, and it snows often. Will Sonny be able to bear it? He might find it fun if it's only for a short visit once in a while, but he might catch a cold if he stays there every day. It's hard for us to adapt to the bitter cold over there."

The temperature in Wiltspoon usually dropped around ten degrees and everyone would already complain about how cold it was, but compared to winter in the north, it was already a very comfortable temperature.noveldrama

"We're not going to Jensburg. He says he wants to go to Annenburg. Jane's adopted son is on winter break now and the two kids agreed over a call for Sonny to visit once school lets out for winter break. I've already allowed it."

Tania was a little disappointed. She thought Sonny would stay at Wildridge Manor for about two weeks during his winter break and only return to his mother when it was almost Christmastime. She had not expected him to be visiting Annenburg.

Upon seeing Tania's disappointed look, Serenity asked tentatively, "Mom, why don't you come with us to Annenburg? Just think of it as a holiday. There are a few good attractions and a lot more man-made tourist spots.

"Their local cuisine is similar to Wiltspoon's and the Johnsons are very hospitable. We're quite close to them and Nana never wants to come back whenever she visits."

Camryn's eyes were cured by Dr. Carden. Moreover, Elisa was Serenity's cousin and she would soon be the Johnsons' daughter-in-law. Thus, the Yorks and the Johnsons were relatives after a fashion, and relatives had to interact to be close.

The elder Johnson generation was just like the Yorks and had all retired. It was easy for conversations to flow when people of the same age gathered. Although Tania and Ben's mother had different personalities, they were both madams of large, distinguished families and would definitely share conversational topics.

Tania was tempted and she said, "I haven't had much interaction with the Johnsons. I don't think it'll be very nice of me to disturb them abruptly like that."

“It'll be fine. Just think of it as a holiday. When Nana hears of this, she'll probably come along. If you still feel bad about it, you can just pretend you're worried about her and want to tag along to take care of her."

Tania laughed. "More like she takes care of me. She's more fit than I am. I can't beat her when it comes to hiking and stuff like that."

Perhaps because Grandma May was often gallivanting instead of obediently staying put. Although Tania kept herself in shape, she did not travel all over like Grandma May did, and could not do as well in outdoor activities.

"Mom, you should just go if you want to. The Johnsons have a few little kids. It'll be lively," Zachary spoke. "I'll give Ben a heads up. If you're worried Dad won't let you go, I'll talk to him."

Tania gave in. "Your dad won't stop me, he'll just come with. The Johnsons do have a few grandchildren and it is much livelier there than here. I'll just have to shamelessly join the ride then. Seren, later on, if you and Zachary are too busy with work, you guys can come back to Wiltspoon first. Liam and I will take good care of Sonny. I'm sure you guys must be swarmed because it's right before the Christmas holidays."
