Serenity and Zachary York



Caroline said, "My eldest niece is ten years younger than me. She's not suitable to be my daughter. If I must adopt, then my youngest niece who's a few years old will do."

That would be Jason's youngest daughter, who was only six years old.

Of course, those were empty words. She would not adopt her niece as her daughter.

Caroline wanted a child of her own.

If she could not wed a husband, then she would ask Darren as the sperm donor and try conceiving via IVF.

Darren was clever and capable. She believed that their daughter would not be inferior in any way.

Caroline's nieces were mediocre at best. It would be difficult to train them to become future matriarchs. Otherwise, Belinda would have chosen one of her granddaughters instead of helping Caroline rise to the ranks.

Darren was loyal to Caroline. He would be more dedicated to protecting her and their daughter if they shared a daughter.

It would be a win-win situation.

Although Caroline did not want to admit it, among all the young and talented men in Jensburg, only a few men she fancied and found suitable. Darren was the best option for her.

Anyway, she was not in a rush to have a daughter. She could think about it again sometime later.

She had no idea whether the next matriarch would even come from their family.

If Belinda did kill Tiara, then Caroline would not want to be the matriarch. She would feel uncomfortable and guilty.

Adrian said, "What's wrong with

adopting my daughter? Back in thenovelbin

day, girls would get married and

have children at a young age. What potentialcan you see in your youngest niece? Adopting my daughter will be better. Look if you train her, you can delegate some work to her and relax. When she's ready to take over, you can retire and travel the world. Doesn't that sound great?

"With our family's ability, you don't even have to worry about your life after retirement."

Adrian was persuading Caroline to adopt his daughter.

"What if your youngest niece grows up to be a menace after you adopt her? Won't that be a waste of your effort? On the other hand, my daughter has more or less

established her character. You know her personality well, and she has taken a liking to you. She wasn't that close to Celine."

He spoke the truth.

Ever since Caroline was found, Adrian's daughter was the fastest to accept Caroline as her aunt out of everyone in Fisher Manor.

Celine had grown up in Fisher Manor and treated her nieces well. However, Adrian's daughter refused to be close to her.

Caroline said indifferently, "I can't make the decision to adopt by myself. Let's talk about this another time. If I become the matriarch and have no thoughts of getting married or having a child, I'll consider it.

"A niece is also a daughter with the Fisher family's blood. I think Mom won't oppose it, and the other family members won't have comments about it either.

"Nevertheless, I have to observe first. Your daughter isn't the only suitable candidate. I have three nieces who are older than the rest."

Justin and Ellie had two daughters before their son came along.

Therefore, Caroline had three nieces who were of suitable age.

Adrian's daughter was not the only option. Besides, she was half-heartedly replying to Adrian and would not actually adopt her niece as a daughter. She would look for Darren to discuss having a baby through IVF.
