Chapter 991

Going down to the first floor, Serenity walked extra carefully because she was worried the floor was slippery.

Clive and Alice just cin from the outside. Alice was pregnant, so she went back to her maiden hfor dinner, and Clive went to pick her up after work.

The couple was stunned when they saw Serenity’s cautious look.

“What’s wrong, Seren? Are your legs uncomfortable?” Alice asked with concern as she approached.

Elisa laughed. “Look at her shoes, Alice. She’s not used to wearing high heels, so Mom told her to walk outside in these shoes for a while so she can walk more naturally before we go.”

Alice looked at the pair of stilettos on Serenity’s feet, then at her face. She patted Serenity’s shoulder with a smile and said, “It’s tough, but if you think of Mr. York, you can overceverything.”

Serenity had a long way to go. If she wanted to join Zachary’s social circle, she had to work hard for it.

Clive also walked over and glanced at his cousin’s legs but said nothing.

“I’ll go outside to practice walking.”

“Go ahead but stay safe. You’re still wearing your gown. Be careful not to stain it.” Alice reminded her with a smile. She was worried that Serenity would slip and fall.

Serenity walked even more carefully.

Elisa accompanied her out of the house.

As Serenity slowly adapted to the high heels, Elisa took a video and sent it to Zachary.

Zachary silently removed Elisa from his blacklist after learning that Serenity was Audrey’s niece. He also took the chance when Serenity was sleeping to open up social media and stopped hiding her posts from Elisa.

Now, Zachary could receive the video sent to him by Elisa.

Elisa added a message along with the video: [Zachary, Seren is working really hard for you. I hope you’ll never let her down or lie to her for the rest of your lives.]

Zachary replied: [All the love in my life belongs to Serenity alone.]

Elisa remarked with a smile, “No one is asking you to run in those heels.”

Serenity stole a glance at her aunt’s face before putting on the stilettos. Grabbing Elisa’s hand, she stood up and took a few steps. She was tempted to kick the stilettos off her feet.

Oh, how she longed for her house loafers.

“Wear these heels down the stairs and walk a few rounds on the front lawn. We can

leave when you feel comfortable in them.”

Audrey was so focused on picking outfits and shoes for Serenity the other day that she forgot to let Serenity practice wearing the heels.

Serenity quietly stuck her tongue out. Without defying Aunt Audrey’s orders, she cautiously strutted out of the room.

“I’ll go with Seren, Mom.”

Taking pity on Serenity, Elisa merrily went with her cousin.

Once out of the room, Elisa gave Serenity a sympathetic look as the latter clung to the barrister and walked. Elisa commented, “You asked for it. You could’ve asked anyone for help, but you sought guidance from my mother. My mom is all about etiquette. She could probably work for the Queen. She probably will tell you to start over if you don’t do a good job.”

Serenity was lost for words.

Who else could she look for, if not Aunt Audrey?

If she were to go with Zachary, Zachary would dote on her so much and be cool with her leaving home in her loafers.

“It’s still hours before the event anyway. You can take your tto practice.” Elisa added with a smile, “I’ll be here with you.”

Zachary replied: [All the love in my life belongs to Serenity alone.]

Elisa stared at the message for a long tbut did not reply.

She accompanied Serenity in the yard so the latter could walk naturally.

After wobbling to the gate of the villa, Elisa suddenly realized that several luxury cars were parked at the gate of the large villa next door. Her old neighbors had moved away more than a decade ago, and they sold the villa to pay off their debts.

Elisa wanted her mother to buy the neighboring villa and connect it with their own villa, but when her mother contacted the old neighbors, they told her that the villa had been sold.

The mother and daughter were too late. Clive was the first to know, but even he was too slow to act.

Elisa had grumbled to her mother, “Who snatched it up so quickly? I can’t believe that person was quicker than our family.”

Seeing so many luxury cars parked there at the moment, Elisa guessed that her new neighbor had cto see the house.

Since the villa was bought, the other party would definitely renovate it and have its design changed.

“What are you looking at, Elisa?” Serenity leaned in and asked curiously.

“That large villa was recently sold, so I wanted to know who bought it. My family wanted to buy it, but we were one step too late. That person was quick. If they have so much money, why didn’t they buy a new villa or buy land to build a villa themselves?”

Elisa felt regretful that she did not manage to buy the neighboring villa.

“Wiltspoon is already completely developed. It’s hard to buy good land to build your own villa, and the small villas in other neighborhoods can’t be compared to large villas like the one you’re living in.”
