While carrying Sonny with one hand, Mrs. Stone held Serenity’s hand and glanced at it. Distressed and helpless, she said, “Since Zachary confessed his identity, you’ve always stopped me from standing up for you. You didn’t come to me and pour out your feelings either. I’m so worried that my hair has turned gray. You and your sister are always this stubborn.
“I remember that your mom has a good temper and isn’t stubborn at all. I wonder whom you take after with your stubbornness.
Serenity laughed and asked, “Didn’t you say my sister and I take after you in temper?”
Mrs. Stone choked. She recalled that she admired Serenity and her sister not just because of their kinship, but also because of the way the two of them conducted themselves.
Indeed, Serenity took after Mrs. Stone in stubbornness.
“Now that you came over today, what help do you need from me?”
Ever since Zachary confessed his identity, all Elisa felt was anger. Even so, she did not fall out with Serenity. She took pity on Serenity who was wronged and deceived by Zachary. She claimed that she wanted to deal with Zachary on Serenity’s behalf.
It was finally a load off the Stones’ minds.
Since her daughter could face it openly, Mrs. Stone was not too worried. Whenever her niece needed her, she would stand up for her with her identity as next of kin.
“Aunt Audrey, I need to ask you for a favor.”
“Say it. If it’s within my capabilities, I’ll definitely help you. Even if I can’t, you have two other cousins to help solve your problem.”
Serenity said with a grin, “I don’t need them. Your help is enough. You always attend social gatherings, don’t you? I shamelessly hope that you’ll bring me along to all the social gatherings you attend in the future.”
Mrs. Stone grasped her point and said, “No problem. I usually ask Elisa to accompany me to social gatherings, but she doesn’t want to. She thinks those people are hypocritical, and she’s too lazy to deal with them.
