Lilian chuckled as she reminisced about her master. “All old people are the same,” she laughed. “My master is no exception. If he doesn’t see Fabian for just three days, he starts claiming the boy has lost weight and accuses me of not taking care of him properly. He even suspects that I’m starving Fabian! Can you believe that? I carried that boy for ten months before he was born. Sure, he’s loud and a handful, but I love him with all my heart—just like my master. How could I ever mistreat my own son?”
She sighed and shook her head. “The older generation really loves to exaggerate. When I was a kid, my master was incredibly strict. If I didn’t finish my chores, he wouldn’t even let me eat. It’s amusing to think about now, but back then, he showed no sympathy for me when I was hungry or losing weight.”
Serenity laughed, her eyes sparkling. “That’s just how generational dynamics work. There’s always a disconnect, isn’t there? Jane was telling me the other day that when she used to visit her parents, she was the center of their universe—the one everyone pampered. But ever since she had kids, things have changed. Now, if she goes home without the kids, her mom will bluntly ask her, ‘Why did you even bother coming without them?’”
She continued with a knowing smile. “When she does bring the kids, her parents light up, but their attention is solely on the little ones. Maybe Ben gets a bit of their focus, but as for Jane? The former star of the show? She’s basically free to do as she pleases at that point!”
As Serenity spoke, a thoughtful expression crossed her face. She began to reflect on memories of her parents. If they were still alive and old enough to be grandparents, would they be like Jane’s parents? Would

do you think they fuss over their grandchildren? Would they feel upset if their kids visited without bringing the little ones? Lost in thought, Serenity didn’t notice Zachary observing her intently. “Sweetie, what’s on your mind?” he asked, his voice gentle and filled with concern.

Lilian smiled, feeling a twinge of envy for their bond. Zachary was so attentive, always in tune with Serenity’s emotions. Yet, she reminded herself that her own husband was equally loving. Their circle of friends had truly set the standard for admirable marriages.

Serenity sighed, her voice laced with nostalgia. “Seeing how much Grandma May adores Sonny and listening to Doctor Carden discuss the relationships grandparents have with their grandkids made me think about my parents. If they were still here, would they be like Grandma May? Would they love their grandkids as much as they loved us?”

Zachary took her hand, his touch warm and reassuring. “If your parents were still alive, I believe they would be very close to the grandkids, but they would always love you and your sister the most,” he said softly.

After a brief pause, he continued, “Are you free for the Lantern Festival? I could take you back to your hometown. During Qingming Festival, I’ll bring Sonny and Duncan to visit your parents’ graves. I’m not sure I’ll have time to return afterward, and with your belly getting so big, it wouldn’t be wise for you to travel. Let’s skip Qingming this year. Next year, though—next year, the three of us will go together. I think your parents would be thrilled to see us with a baby.”

Serenity’s eyes softened, and she nodded. “I haven’t been back to my hometown in a while. If you’re free, let’s go together. While we’re there, I can check on the vegetable market. I’ll inform my sister in advance—maybe she can join us for Qingming. If she…

“If you can’t, then you and Duncan can take Sonny to visit my parents.” Zachary nodded, his gaze steady and full of understanding. The couple sat in silence for a moment, their hands tightly clasped as they shared an unspoken connection. They looked over at Grandma May, who was doting on Sonny, as usual.

Later, after Sonny finished his porridge and took his medicine, he played for a while before Serenity checked his temperature again. Thankfully, it was back to normal. Relief filled the room.

Not wanting to intrude on Zachary and Serenity’s time together, the rest of the family began to disperse. However, Duncan decided to stay with the Yorks a bit longer. Lilian left with Audrey and the others. After dinner at the Stone family home, she conducted Mr. Jimenez’s routine check-up, prescribed some medication, and then left Wiltspoon early the next morning.
