WebNovelMarried At First Sight Chapter 3884 Chapter 3884
"That's something we can think about when we have a daughter," Zachary said with a slight smile. "Right now,
we don't even know where she'll cfrom."
But as he spoke, his thoughts wandered. He made a mental note to start keeping an eye on the younger
generation in Wiltspoon's most prominent families. If an exceptional boy caught his attention, he'd keep him in
mind. When the tcand Zachary had a daughter, he'd make sure that boy was there to watch her grow
up. Zachary had the idea of cultivating childhood sweethearts. That way, his daughter wouldn't marry far from
home.
Of course, the thought of his daughter getting married at all tugged at his heart. If it were up to him, she
wouldn't marry until she was at least 30.
As these thoughts swirled in his mind, Zachary drove Serenity to the Stone family mansion.

At the Stone residence, Audrey was in the yard with Mr. Jimenez, enjoying the crisp weather. The temperature
had risen a few degrees, allowing Mr. Jimenez, who had been cooped up inside at Audrey's insistence, to finally
enjoy a walk outdoors. Elisa had traveled with Remy to Annenburg for the New Year, while Leland, dreading his
family's relentless matchmaking efforts, had booked an international flight as soon as the Stone Group started its
holiday break. He planned to celebrate abroad, far from his parents’ urging. With just Audrey and Mr. Jimenez at
home, the house felt quieter than usual. Clive had taken his wife and young child to visit his mother-in-law's
hfor the day, but they were expected back by evening. Audrey had already reminded Clive that today was a
special day-Liberty and Duncan were getting their marriage certificate. As Liberty's maternal relatives, the
Stones needed to mark the occasion properly. They couldn't allow the Lewis family to look down on Liberty for
lacking support.
Clive, however, often felt exasperated by his mother's constant concern for her nieces, Serenity and Liberty. He
had told her more than once that they were strong, capable women who didn't need anyone's intervention.
Besides, Zachary and Duncan were loyal and loving men. Zachary's devotion to Serenity was practically
legendary in Wiltspoon.
When Zachary's car pulled into the driveway, Audrey spotted it from across the yard and smiled warmly. "Zack
and Seren are here," she said to Mr. Jimenez.
"Uncle Jimenez, sit here. I'll go open the gate."
Audrey helped Mr. Jimenez settle onto a stone bench before heading to the gate herself. The remaining
household staff, busy with tasks, paused when they saw her take on the task.
With most of the servants hfor the holidays, only a few had stayed behind, leaving more work to go around.
The yard was littered with fallen leaves, a sight that would have bothered other homeowners, but not Audrey.
"It's just nature," she had said earlier. "Stepping on fallen leaves while walking lets you feel the beauty of
autumn and winter."
Wiltspoon rarely saw a true winter. The long summers made the cooler seasons feel fleeting.
As the gate opened, Zachary and Serenity greeted her with cheerful smiles.
"Aunt."

"Aunt."
"Drive in," Audrey replied, matching their smiles.
Once Zachary parked the car in the open lot, he stepped out and asked, "Is Clive not home?"
"He took his family to visit his in-laws," Audrey explained. "I sent along sNew Year gifts for them."
In her view, holiday gifts were about respect, even for families as wealthy as Clive's inlaws. Audrey adored Alice,
her daughter-in-law, and treated her in-laws warmly. The families often visited, especially after the birth of
Audrey's grandson.
"Elisa went to FC Manor with Remy for the holidays," Audrey continued. "She won't be back until after New
Year's. And as for Leland..." She sighed, shaking her head. "That boy. He bought a plane ticket and fled the
country the moment the office closed. | don't even know where he is right now. He's terrified we'll keep asking
about marriage. At his age, he should be settling down, but instead, he just runs away." Audrey's exasperation
was clear. Of her three children, Leland worried her the most.
