Chapter 4045
In the vegetable company office,
Serenity, Elisa, and Jasmine were enjoying each other’s company.
Out of the three, only Elisa was actually working, while Serenity and Jasmine, both pregnant, were simply there to unwind and enjoy a change of scenery.
“Is Evan’s chili-eating live stream over?” Jasmine asked casually as she returned from the
bathroom. She noticed her friends had stopped watching their phones.
“It ended a while ago,” Serenity replied, munching on a plate of fresh fruit. “It barely lasted
fifteen minutes before Abby intervened and stopped him. That woman has such a soft heart.”
“The one who falls in love first always loses,” she added with a knowing smile.
“To be fair,” Elisa said, glancing up from her work, “Evan doesn’t handle spicy food well. Ten
minutes of eating chili was probably torture for him. Any longer, and he might’ve faced serious consequences. But it shows he cares. He pushed through for Abby. And let’s not forget how spicy the chili was—Abby’s oldest daughter made sure of that. It’s clear his heart belongs to her.”
Jasmine chuckled. “Abby’s disguise skills are impressive. When she was pretending to be Bianca, I never connected the dots. It wasn’t until Grandma York started playing matchmaker that I suspected they might be the same person.”
Elisa leaned back in her chair, her smile widening. “No matter how clever Abby is, she can’t outsmart Grandma York. That woman is in a league of her own. Thankfully, our families aren’t enemies anymore.
“I have a newfound appreciation for what my eldest brother went through back then. Even my mom had to show Grandma York a lot of respect, even when our families were at odds. That woman commands reverence wherever she goes.”
After a brief pause, Elisa…

With a playful grin, she added, “You know, this just proves my excellent taste. The man I once loved was shaped by Grandma York herself.” She chuckled at her own joke before turning to Serenity. “And Seren, you don’t need to feel bad for me anymore. I’ve truly moved on. Besides, none of us knew at the time that Zachary was hiding his true identity from you. Honestly, it’s a good thing you married him. At least Zachary remained in the family; a man like him shouldn’t have ended up with an outsider.” Serenity beamed back. “Your taste has always been impeccable.”

Elisa had once liked Zachary, and there was no denying he was an exceptional man. After she let go of her feelings for him, she found Remy, another remarkable man. “You and Remy should start planning your wedding,” Serenity suggested.

Elisa gently touched Serenity’s growing belly and then glanced at Jasmine’s. “We’ll wait until both of you have had your babies. That’ll give us a few more months. Plus, you’ll need time to recover after delivery.” Leaning closer to Serenity’s belly, she spoke softly, “Hey, baby, I’m your aunt.” Almost immediately, the baby kicked.

“He moved!” Elisa exclaimed, her face lighting up. Serenity smiled. “He hears you. We talk to him all the time. Babies recognize familiar voices, and it makes them feel safe once they’re born.”

Elisa nodded, remembering her own experiences. “It’s true. When my sister-in-law was pregnant, I used to talk to her belly and feel the baby move. Now, my nephew absolutely adores me. I swear it’s because he remembers my voice from before he was born.” She laughed, her thoughts drifting to her adorable nephew. Just thinking about him made her want to leave work and go home to help her sister-in-law, Alice, care for the little one.

Jasmine pushed herself up from her chair, using one hand to support her back. “I can’t sit for too long,” she remarked while pacing the room. “It makes me really uncomfortable. And this baby of mine isn’t helping—he always starts kicking whenever I sit for too long.”
