“Sorry for imposing, Mr. Dowling.”
After all, Mrs. Dowling did not send her an invitation. She came here because her aunt brought her.
Mrs. Dowling smiled. “Nonsense, you’re not imposing. It’s our honor to have you here, Mrs. York.”
Serenity was holding the birthday gift that Audrey had prepared for Maya. She handed the gift to Audrey, who took it and then passed it to Maya. She said with a smile, “Happy birthday, Ms. Dowling.”
Mrs. Dowling quickly said, “Just call her Maya, Mrs. Stone. We’re very happy that you came to Maya’s birthday party. You didn’t have to get her a gift.”
She gestured for her daughter to accept the present.
The gift was a set of jewelry.
Maya took the birthday present and thanked Audrey.
Since Audrey only brought her daughter and niece and did not bring her husband, Mr. Dowling asked his wife to accompany them with her two daughters while he went to entertain the other guests.
Mrs. Dowling warmly welcomed Audrey and the two cousins into the house. As they walked, everyone saw how respect was mixed with Mrs. Dowling’s enthusiasm. In fact, it seemed that Mrs. Dowling was especially respectful to a young woman standing beside Audrey.
Many people said that Serenity was not worthy of Zachary, but Mrs. Dowling thought differently. Whether or not Serenity was worthy of Zachary, she was already Zachary’s legal wife and the missus of the York family. Zachary only exposed Serenity’s identity as his wife because he doted on her.
Serenity was able to become Zachary’s beloved woman, so her status as Mrs. York was firm as a mountain.
The elders of the York family had always been known for being open-minded. When they heard that Serenity was chosen by Old Mrs. York, no one would dare disrespect Serenity even if she was a beggar.
Therefore, Mrs. Dowling did not dare to underestimate Serenity or disrespect her. Serenity was the missus of the York family and was the wife of the future head of the family. She was the most respectable woman in Wiltspoon.
