Chapter 1296
Zachary’s family did not want to put the strain on Serenity.
Mrs. Stone was Serenity’s aunt and a senior on Serenity’s side of the family. She should be showing more love and
affection to Serenity.
“Aunt Audrey wasn’t trying to push me into having a baby. Her heart is in the right place. We have been a real
married couple for a few months now, but I’m not pregnant yet. I think it’s normal she’d ask.”
Sticking her hand out, Serenity gave him a squeeze on the cheek and smoothen his puckered brows. She said,
“Don’t make that wry face. Your frown is scary enough to startle your timid wife. “You can be a ghost for Halloween
with that face. No makeup required.”
Amused by her remark, Zachary flicked her forehead. “Have you seen such a handsome ghost? If you’re timid,
then theres no one with nerves of steel in the world.
“Fine. I’m not mad. I think it’s between us whether we want to start a family. Other people shouldn’t stick their
noses where they don’t belong. Even my parents aren’t rushing us to have children. Nana is probably the only one

“Nana was looking forward to having a granddaughter, but I guess she can only put her hopes into getting a great–
granddaughter.”
Serenity rested her head on his shoulder. “I know Nana wants a great–granddaughter. That’s what I want to talk
about, babe. It’s not about the gender, but I can’t even get pregnant. Do you think there’s something wrong with
my body?
“I mean, I don’t think the problem lies with you. Oh, that reminds me. I heard that frequent sex could affect the
chances of conceiving.”
Zachary was at a loss for words.
“I don’t think there’s a problem with your health.” Dismissing the part about frequency, Zachary firmly uttered, “We
are fit as a fiddle. You aren’t pregnant yet because the time hasn’t come. Our future child hasn’t come to us.
“Our little angel is still finding their way to us. You’ll have buns in the oven before we know it. Don’t worry too much
about it.”
Zachary held his wife tight, not wanting Serenity to blame herself for not expecting yet.
“Pregnancy is difficult. Your cousin–in–law, Alice, has pretty bad morning sickness, so much so that Clive would
rather not have the child.
Not wanting Serenity to go through the same, Zachary said, “Seren, we don’t have to have a child so soon. Let’s
enjoy our moments together as husband and wife for now.
“I’ll take you on a trip to Annenburg next weekend. We can use a break.”
In the end, he kept it in his pants.

“Oh, next weekend? is it okay to leave work?”
“I’m not the only person around to run the company. We have a team of management. Not to mention, my cousins.
I’ll only deal with the important matters.
“Plus, there’s Josh too.”
Serenity said with a smile, “Mr. Bucham and Jasmine are getting engaged. Then, the wedding preparations will
come after the engagement party. They will only become busier. You promise to give Mr. Bucham a two–month
marital leave.”

“Sure.”
Serenity would like to get to know Jane and Iris. She believed Jane and Iris had a friendship like hers with Jasmine.
Since Zachary made time to take her to go on a holiday to Annenburg, she might as well go. “I felt Remy out as you
asked. Remy has a thing for Elisa, but he’s not in a rush to come clean about his feelings. He believes Elisa hasn’t
really… erm, gotten over the past.”
Serenity did not sound as surprised as she had expected just as much.
She sighed and replied, “Aunt Audrey hoped you could hint to Mr. Johnson that Elisa wouldn’t move away after
marriage. I said Mr. Johnson is a great man. Although he’s from Annenburg, he’ll be a permanent resident in
Wiltspoon. He’ll be neighbors with my aunt’s family since he bought a house here.
“Aunt Audrey said it didn’t change the fact that he was born and raised in Annenburg. Elisa could uproot to
Annenburg for all she knew.
“She also wanted you to tell Mr. Johnson that she did not want Elisa to go through the pain again.”
Zachary responded, “Remy only bought the place because of Elisa… Although he’s from
Annenburg, he’s living in Wiltspoon permanently. Plus, he has a house here too. How different is
e from a local Wiltspoonian?”
t would be a shame if Elisa passed up on Remy.
