Chapter 1582
After dinner, Serenity returned to her room to take a shower before heading to the guest bedroom where her sister
was.
Liberty was carrying her son out of the bathroom.
“Sonny is just done with his shower.
“He had a blast today, and now he’s sleepy. I quickly gave him a wash, and he was nodding off in the showers.”
Liberty lay her son down on the bed as the little man was asleep.
Serenity pinched Sonny’s cheek with a smile. Sleeping like a log, Sonny had no reaction to his aunt getting a good
squeeze of his face.
“He and Rowan were really running around the place today. It’s a good thing. The pressure to do well in his studies
is real even though he’s only in tenth grade. His cousins and brothers performed well academically, so he will be

“All that fun is a good stress reliever.”
Serenity’s heart went out to the youngest member of the York family.
The kid was a sweet talker. He would always say hello to Serenity with the cutest voice.
“What’s the matter?”
Liberty thought something was bothering her sister.
“Nothing. I’m just here to check on Sonny. Since he’s asleep, I’ll go to the study. You should get some early rest too,
Liberty.”
Liberty replied with a smile, “It’s too early for my bedtime. I go to bed around ten.”
It was only seven o’clock at night right now.
“Carry on with your work. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Don’t think of yourself as any lesser than your
mother–in–law and the others. They are familiar and experienced with the system, but you’re just starting. Don’t
compare yourself with other people. All experiences start from zero. You can do it.”
Serenity answered, “The stress was unbelievable in the beginning, but I felt much better after my mother–in -law
said I have a few years to learn the ropes. I will do my best, Liberty. I’ll look down on myself if I can’t do my job well
as the lady of the house.”
Liberty tucked her son in.
“Yeah. Take your time. Don’t let me keep you.”
Serenity drew close to smooch her nephew’s face before leaving her sister’s room. She went to the study.
Looking at the shelves of account books in the study, Serenity was at a loss about where to start.
She took a rough look around, scanning the ledgers on the shelves until she could clear her head. She should get an

“Grandma May.”
Duncan whispered a question, “Did you put in the good word for me?”
He was aware that Grandma May had a heart–to–heart with Liberty
Looking askance at Duncan, Grandma May replied, “I only have one grandson who is married. I still have. the
others to think about. Where am I going to find the time to worry about you too?”
Before Duncan could chime in, the old lady added, “Liberty has been through a relationship that hurt her too much.
She’s reluctant to even consider marriage. It’s not going to be easy for her to let go of the past and start over.
Baby steps.”
Duncan let out a sigh.
He had mentally prepared himself to wait a few years until Liberty earned success to find a spot next to him.
Perhaps she would accept him in her life then.
Still, Duncan was eager and desperate.
He wished he could get the girl right after making his feelings known to Liberty.
