Chapter 503
“Have you met Serenity’s husband before?” Mrs. Stone asked her daughter.
If Serenity and her sister turned out to be her nieces, Mrs. Stone, as the aunt, should assess the men for her nieces.
“I’ve never met him before. He seems to be busy at work. You know only elites could join York Corporation, and work can get busy. I think her husband’s working in higher management, so work must take up a lot of his time.
“Serenity’s expression started to soften when she talked about him. I think they’re developing feelings for each other.”
Elisa did not pay an awful lot of attention to Serenity’s marriage.
As she had loved before, Elisa could tell the subtle changes in Serenity toward her husband.
After much thought, Elisa added, “But they have not become a real couple. Their marriage is only in name at present.”
“They entered the marriage without any feelings for one another. Everything should fall into place since they’re keeping the marriage in name while nurturing their relationship. It’s rare for a couple to be so grounded.”
Mrs. Stone was already taking Serenity’s side before it was confirmed that the latter was her niece.

“Please have a seat, Mrs. Stone. I‘ll pour you a glass of water.”
Mrs. Stone immediately replied, “You don‘t need to, Seren. Elisa and I have been in your shop for a while. I got a drink here.”
Mrs. Stone looked at the packed breakfast and insulated cup on the cash register with heartache written in her eyes.
“I guess you haven‘t had your breakfast, Seren. Have something to eat and then we‘ll talk after.
“No matter what, you should have your meals on time. Don‘t let yourself go hungry.”
Some people would be having their lunch by now.
Mrs. Stone felt bad that Serenity had not had her breakfast.
Elisa jumped in, “Serenity, just take my advice. I didn‘t have my meals on time back then and it didn‘t help with my health. It took a while for me to get better. Now, my mom will drag me out of bed for breakfast between seven to eight o’clock in the morning even if I were to sleep at three.”
Mrs. Stone glared at her. “You‘re one to talk.”
Elisa stuck her tongue out cheekily. “I have no shame. Of course, I‘ll talk.” Amused, Serenity laughed.
