Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2384

Things would have been different if so. Belinda only had one option now—Caroline.

Moments later, Celine barged in.

Belinda frowned upon seeing her adopted daughter while she was reminiscing about her past. Frustration overtook her expression, and she said, “How many times have I told you to knock before entering? You never listen.”

The daughter she had spent much effort raising did not even have basic etiquette.

She had spoiled Celine rotten.

Belinda was glad that Celine was not her biological daughter. Otherwise, she would have been angered to death upon seeing the successor she spent over two decades nurturing being such a failure.”

“Sorry, Mom. I forgot.”

Celine immediately went out and closed the door. Then, she knocked on the door again and only entered after obtaining Belinda’s permission.

She sat opposite Belinda.

“I want to ask you something, Mom. Did our family receive the York family’s invitation?”

Since Celine could not attend the wedding as Hayden’s partner, she considered going to the wedding with Belinda.

However, their family would have to be invited.

“We did. Why?”

“Let me go with you, Mom.”

Celine added, “I no longer have to manage the company or handle family matters. I’m bored every day because I have nothing to do. I can tag along with you to the wedding.”

“I’ve decided not to take any of you with me. I want to relax and spend some time alone.”

Celine pouted but said no more.

It would be normal if Belinda did not take Caroline with her. However, since Belinda did not even consider bringing Hunter, Celine knew she stood no chance.

Belinda opened a drawer upon seeing Celine unhappy. She retrieved a velvet box and gave it to Celine.

“I have a necklace suitable for young girls like you and Caroline. Since Caroline doesn’t seem interested in jewelry, you can have it.”

Celine opened and peeked into the velvet box. The necklace was branded and expensive, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Eager to wear the necklace, she immediately smiled and thanked her mother. Once she did, she asked, “Do I look good, Mom?”
