Chapter 4009
Duncan called Serenity to let her know he was taking Sonny to the Lewis house for dinner and would bring him
hlater. Serenity had no objections-Duncan's help gave her a rare moment to enjoy spersonal twith
her best friend, Jasmine. With Jasmine eight months pregnant, shopping trips had taken on a new meaning. The
duo wandered through baby stores, where Jasmine stocked up on essentials for her soon-toarrive little one. The
sight of baby clothes and supplies was infectious; Serenity couldn't resist buying a slew of things for her baby
and Sonny as well.
As evening fell, Zachary and Josh arrived to pick up their wives. Unbeknownst to each other, both men had
declined their social obligations for the evening, leaving Callum and the rest of the senior management to handle
the events. Once the busiest of the bunch, Zachary and Josh had becremarkably skilled at shirking

greeted by the sight of Serenity and her bodyguards loaded down with shopping bags. The pile of purchases at
her feet was almost comical.
"Why did you buy so much? And where's Sonny?" Zachary asked, making his way over to her.
"I got carried away," Serenity admitted, handing him one of the bags. "Duncan picked up Sonny earlier and took
him to Lewis's house for dinner. He'll drop him off later. Jasmine and | decided to make the most of the afternoon
and went shopping." Zachary glanced over at Jasmine, who was also juggling an armful of bags, and exchanged
a knowing smile with Josh. Without a word, the men collected their wives and their mountain of shopping bags,
piling everything into the car before heading home. Meanwhile, in Huyoniville
Evan York stood outside the towering headquarters of Du's Group, wearing a sharp black suit, a light blue tie,
and a determined expression. In one hand, he clutched a bouquet of
vibrant red roses; in his pocket, he carried two movie tickets. He had waited patiently for Abby to finish work,
determined to win her back.
Every day, Evan showed up with flowers, gifts, and invitations for dinner or a movie. And every day, Abby
rejected him.
Today was no different. The moment she stepped out of the building and spotted Evan, Abby accepted the
bouquet without a word-only to spin on her heel, toss it into the nearest trash can, and snap a picture for her
social media.
Evan's pride took a hit, but only briefly. He quickly rebounded, reminding himself he had earned this cold
treatment. After all, hadn't he wounded Abby's pride first?
If he was being honest, Evan knew he deserved far worse. His grandmother, with her mischievous matchmaking
schemes, had paired him with Abby from the start. But through her cryptic clues and penchant for , she
had let him believe that Abby and Fox-the woman he had been chasing blindly-were two different people.
Now, Evan was paying the price for his ignorance and disbelief.
"Grandma's probably laughing her head off right now," Evan muttered under his breath. "She setup to learn
the hard way."
The sound of the company doors opening pulled him from his thoughts. Employees poured out, heading to their
cars, scooters, or setting off on foot. By now, Evan's presence was a familiar sight, no longer drawing the curious
stares it once had.
As they passed, the employees exchanged whispers.
"That's him again-Vice President Du's admirer," one murmured.
"They say he used to chase her before," another said, glancing at him. "I guess he's back for round two."
Despite the murmurs, Evan stood tall, his resolve unshaken. For all her icy rejection, Abby was worth every
effort. This time, he was determined not to miss his chance.
