Chapter 133: Chapter 133

I don’t know when Grandpa will come back. He has been abroad for a long time, and the New Year is almost here. Why hasn’t he returned yet?

Whenever Serena thinks of this, her mood becomes a bit low.

Grandpa Keaton was found to have a health issue and went abroad to recuperate, but that was before she met her relatives.

Even during their reunion, Grandpa only briefly showed his face and then left the country quickly.

She asked her dad once, but Dad said that Grandpa is fine and recovering well.

Then why hasn’t he come back?

But soon, after they arrived at the supermarket, she saw all sorts of candies and snacks.

She temporarily forgot about these unhappy things.

After finishing all the shopping, Serena returned home and collapsed onto the sofa, "So tired."

"Tired? Let me give you a massage." Elias said as he put the things away.

Serena still ignored him.

Elias let out a sigh and sat down next to her.

Serena immediately got up and walked towards the baby’s room upstairs.

What to do when the wife is still angry? Waiting for advice online.

Old Madam Lancaster gave him a glance before heading upstairs to find Serena.

Elias closely followed behind.

In the bedroom, after much probing from Old Madam Lancaster, Serena finally fumbled and shared the reason.

"Serena, I agree with your approach. Let him stew a bit, or else he’ll bully you next time again."

Old Madam Lancaster said indignantly, "This brat is just like his father when he was young, always causing trouble."

"Huh?" Serena was surprised.

"His father was even worse when he was young." Old Madam Lancaster said casually.

Serena’s face instantly turned red, internal monologue: Should I be hearing this?

Old Madam Lancaster also realized what she had said and quickly changed the subject, "Serena, you must be tired. In the future, leave these errands to others. Don’t tire yourself out."

"Mom, it’s different. The essence of the New Year is in the festivities. Before, I didn’t have these conditions. Last year...

This year is different. I want to handle it myself. It’s our family’s first reunited Spring Festival this year."

"Alright, alright, if you’re tired, rest. Otherwise, you’ll exhaust yourself." Old Madam Lancaster understood her sentiments and agreed that it was time for a proper reunion.

"Got it, thanks, Mom."

"Such a good girl. I’ll go rest now." Old Madam Lancaster said.

Actually, she wanted to let the young couple have some alone time; she felt her presence might be awkward.

Elias was standing by the bedroom door and rushed forward when he saw Old Madam Lancaster leaving.

Old Madam Lancaster gave him a look, "Hmph," and walked away.

He stood by the door, knocked, waited a minute, and then entered the room.

He sat down beside Serena, reached out, and wrapped his arms around her.

"Sweetheart, I’m sorry. Whenever I see you, I can’t help myself. I’ll definitely control myself more in the future. Please don’t be mad."

Elias’s tone had a hint of pleading.

Fine, considering the effort he put into arranging everything, she’ll forgive him this time.

"Don’t do that again." Serena said softly.

"I won’t. If you say no, then no." Elias laughed happily and promised immediately.

"Sweetheart, don’t worry about shopping tomorrow or about the New Year’s preparations. I’ll have someone get everything ready."

"This year’s Spring Festival is very significant for me. I want to handle it myself."

Elias understood that this Spring Festival was exceptionally meaningful to her, especially now that they have two adorable sons.

She has found her parents, and this year is truly a family reunion.

He just doesn’t want her to be too exhausted.

The next day, Serena still went out to buy New Year’s goods, saying that she was on holiday already, anyway.

Elias really didn’t want her to overexert herself, but seeing how genuinely happy she was, he let her be.

Serena brought home piles of New Year’s goods every day until the weekend arrived.

"Elias, do we still need to buy anything today?"

"No, take a good rest today."

"But it seems like time is running out." Serena was looking forward to this year’s Spring Festival, and thinking about the whole family reunion made her happy.

Elias pulled Serena, who was about to get up, into his arms, "Sweetheart, let’s cuddle."

He held her sitting on the bed and said, "Honey, I know you’re excited about this Spring Festival, but have you noticed...

You seem a bit anxious. Look at you, you’ve prepared all the New Year’s goods so thoroughly, yet you still feel it’s not enough; you’re out shopping every day, making yourself so tired, it pains me."

"But I don’t feel tired!"

"You visibly look exhausted. When the New Year comes, everyone seeing you will worry." Elias said, giving her a gentle kiss on the cheek.

"Then I won’t go out, I’ll take a good rest." Serena said while touching her face.

"But what if something is missing?"

"No worries. If anything is lacking, just let me know, and I’ll have it delivered."

"Alright, I feel like I’m in a dream. During previous New Years, I was busy from morning till night. My mom... Scarlett Jewel, would always take me out shopping for candies and stuff.

But I never got to eat any. Once school holidays started, there were endless chores waiting for me, and I could only sleep after the entire family had gone to bed.

I’d wake up in the morning before everyone else to prepare breakfast. During the New Year, I couldn’t even eat properly, let alone find time to drink water..."

As Serena spoke, her voice became choked with emotion.

"Sweetheart, it’s all in the past now." Elias comforted her as he held her.

"Elias, I feel really blessed and lucky now. My current life can’t even be compared to before. Read complete versıon only at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

I will diligently work towards my goals and ensure I stand by your side." Serena said.

Elias paused upon hearing her last sentence.

Then, he understood that his identity might put pressure on her, yet she was the one who had saved him.

"Honey, you’re wonderful, really wonderful!" Elias said.

Serena reached out and encircled his sturdy waist.

"Oh right, Elias, let’s decorate the house."

Serena suddenly suggested.

Serena quickly got out of bed, washed up, and changed into clothes—a turtleneck sweater, a tight-fitting skirt with an outer coat, paired with shark pants.

Warm yet youthful and spirited.

Even though the house was heated and not cold, Elias still felt she was dressed a bit lightly.

"Honey, you should wear a thicker coat."

"No need. It’s not cold in the house, and I’ll be busy working, so I won’t be cold."

Then, she took out her phone, found a photo, and handed it to Elias.

"This is..." Elias was puzzled about what this was for.
