Chapter 142: Chapter 142
When Elias Lancaster thought about what he had done, he felt guilty and said in a deep voice, "Are you at home?"
"Yes, my brother sent me back. You’re not at home!"
"I... I’ve been a bit busy these days... You should go back to The J Keaton Family and spend time with Nia Irving."
He missed her terribly, he wanted to see her, but now he was too ashamed to face her.
He needed time to persuade himself.
Serena Keaton felt a bit disappointed.
"Then you stay busy."
"Take care of yourself."
Elias Lancaster hung up the phone, his hand gripping the mobile as veins bulged.
Serena Keaton looked at the disconnected call, feeling wronged. Things were fine between them before, why did they turn out this way now?
She had surgery, and he didn’t come to the hospital to be with her. When she was discharged, he didn’t come to pick her up.
She returned home, waited until now, called him, and he told her to go to her mother’s home.
Very disappointed, very wronged, very sad.
Serena Keaton got up and went upstairs.
That night, she didn’t sleep a wink.
She thought he would come back at night, but she watched with open eyes until dawn and still didn’t see him come home.
Nanny Livingston suddenly asked,
"Young Madam, can you get in touch with Willow Scott? The maid previously hired, I couldn’t reach her from the day after you were admitted to the hospital. Even if she’s not working anymore, she should at least inform us."
Serena Keaton furrowed her brow and shook her head, "I don’t have her contact information here. I’ll have Special Assistant Shaw get in touch later."
After speaking, Serena Keaton went out and headed to The J Keaton Family.
Nia Irving smiled as soon as she saw her, "How was your night last night?"
"Dad and Rufus went to work, Mom went out with friends to look at baby products. What’s wrong with you? Your complexion doesn’t look good."
Nia Irving looked at her worriedly.
Serena Keaton helped her to the sofa to sit down, "Elias didn’t come home yesterday, I waited until morning, but he still wasn’t back."
Nia Irving looked at Serena Keaton and asked, "Isn’t Master Lancaster at home? Did you call him? Why didn’t he come home?"
"I called him last night, he said he’s busy these days..." Serena Keaton’s voice choked, "He told me to go back to my mother’s home."
Nia Irving was stunned for a moment, "That’s impossible! Master Lancaster values you more than his life. No matter what, he would come back home to be with you."
She took out her phone and sent a message to Ronan Keaton, briefly explaining the situation.
Upon reading it, Ronan Keaton was shocked.
He immediately called Elias Lancaster.
As soon as the call was answered, he unceremoniously said, "What do you mean? My sister thinks of you day and night, she was in the hospital and you didn’t even go to see her, fine.
When she was discharged, you didn’t go to pick her up. She insisted on going home, and I sent her back. You don’t even return home, and still expect her to go to her mother’s home? When has work ever been more important than your wife?"
This person used to show affection in the group chat every other day, even the biggest deals were never more important than his wife.
Now, his wife just had surgery and returned home from the hospital, yet he doesn’t spare time to be with her.
If you end up losing your wife, see what happens!
Ronan Keaton was furious, already displeased that his sister, just found, became someone else’s.
Now, the pig that took his family’s beloved is treating his sister . If it happens again, he’ll just take his sister home and never return her to that broken home.
Elias Lancaster responded and hung up the phone.
He understood that no matter how guilty he felt, he had to go home and face it.
After receiving Ronan Keaton’s call, Nia Irving comforted Serena, "Serena, don’t think too much. It’s normal for Master Lancaster to be busy managing such a large group."
Serena Keaton nodded, "I know."
"Would you like to go back now? He’ll be home to accompany you soon."
Serena Keaton was silent for a while, then nodded.
Actually, she could understand why he was busy, but she clearly felt that it wasn’t that simple. It seemed like there was something standing between them.
But she still wanted to talk things out face-to-face if there was any problem.
She didn’t like how things were now.
Nia Irving had the family driver take Serena Keaton back to Norris Gardens.
As soon as Serena Keaton entered the villa, Nanny Livingston called out, "Young Madam, Old Madam Lancaster came to see you."
Serena Keaton quickly walked towards the living room and, upon seeing the lady sitting on the sofa, obediently called out, "Mother."
Old Madam Lancaster smiled lovingly and reached out to pull her down to sit, "If you hadn’t called with a video yesterday, I wouldn’t have known you were discharged. I came today to see how you’re recovering."
"Mother, I’m fine now."
Serena Keaton sat beside her, looking obedient.
Old Madam Lancaster held her hand, "Elias has been a bit busy these days, don’t blame him. Plus, with your illness and surgery, your father said some unpleasant things, he doesn’t feel good either."
Serena Keaton immediately looked up at her, "My father?"
"Yes, that day when you came out of the operating room and returned to the ward, your father came angrily and chased Elias out." Old Madam Lancaster sighed.
"But he deserves it, for not taking better care of you," Old Madam Lancaster said.
Serena Keaton was still processing this.
Nanny Livingston brought in tea, "Old Madam, you should have a word with the young master. He hasn’t been home since yesterday until now."
Old Madam Lancaster looked at Nanny Livingston, momentarily stunned.
Nanny Livingston continued, "Young Madam was discharged yesterday, the young master didn’t pick her up, Young Master Keaton took Young Madam home."
Old Madam Lancaster’s face turned somber, she took out her phone and dialed out.
All she could be heard saying through the phone was, "Hurry up and return to Norris Gardens, or I’ll take Serena back to the Lancaster Family, and you can stay by yourself." Fınd the newest release on 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
After speaking, she hung up the phone.
Then, Old Madam Lancaster looked at Serena Keaton with pity.
"Serena, it’s okay, I’ll discipline him. Why have you lost weight again?" she said as she turned to Nanny Livingston, "Nanny Livingston, make more delicious food for her, let her recover."
"Old Madam, I’ve noted it down," Nanny Livingston responded and then left.
"Serena, why don’t you come back to the Lancaster Family with me? The babies are there too, they’ve missed you," Old Madam Lancaster said to Serena Keaton.
Serena Keaton shook her head, "Mother, I’m waiting at home for Elias to come back. When he returns, we’ll go back together to pick up the babies."
"Alright then, take care of yourself. Mother will head back, the two little ones are looking for me."
Serena Keaton watched her mother-in-law leave and then sat back on the sofa.
The Lancaster Family treated her very well.
Such a warm family, who accepted her when she had nothing, when she had no identity or background, without any conflicts with her mother-in-law. She was content.
So Serena Keaton, you have to believe in Elias Lancaster, his strange behavior these days is most likely because of what her father said that upset him.
For the sake of herself and her two children, she had to manage her marriage well.
She patiently sat on the sofa, glancing at the entrance of the villa from time to time.
Until Nanny Livingston said lunch was ready, Elias Lancaster hadn’t come back.
She disappointedly got up and walked to the dining room.
As soon as she sat down, she heard a noise from the entrance. She instinctively stood up to look.
Seeing the man walking toward her, she immediately smiled, "Elias, you’ve come back."
Elias Lancaster, now seeing Serena Keaton, was reminded of what he had done.
He was too guilty to meet her gaze.
Then he turned and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
Serena Keaton felt he was acting strange, but thinking he might be too busy and tired, she didn’t pay much attention.
