Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

There wasn’t much conversation that night.

The next morning, Liberty was still in bed, just starting to wake when she heard the sound of the front gate opening.

Audrey’s voice drifted in as she spoke to the nanny.

“The eldest young lady is here early,” the nanny remarked.

“My sister’s getting her marriage certificate today, and I couldn't sleep once I woke up, so I thought I’d come see her.” Serenity was too excited to rest.

Her sister was getting married to Duncan today, and the anticipation kept her wide awake.

Zachary had tried to coax her back to sleep, but as soon as dawn broke, Serenity had dreamed of her late parents and woke up again, her mind full of thoughts of family.

She decided to head over to her parents’ house first thing.
