“That's something we can think about when we have a daughter,” Zachary said with a slight smile.

“Right now, we don't even know where she'll come from.” But as he spoke, his thoughts wandered.

He made a mental note to start keeping an eye on the younger generation in Wiltspoon’s most prominent families.

If an exceptional boy caught his attention, he’d keep him in mind.

When the time came and Zachary had a daughter, he’d make sure that boy was there to watch her grow up.

Zachary had the idea of cultivating childhood sweethearts.

That way, his daughter wouldn't marry far from home.

Of course, the thought of his daughter getting married at all tugged at his heart.

If it were up to him, she wouldn't marry until she was at least 30.

As these thoughts swirled in his mind, Zachary drove Serenity to the Stone family mansion.

At the Stone residence, Audrey was in the yard with Mr. Jimenez, enjoying the crisp weather.
