Serenity hummed softly and didn't say anything more.

Before long, she fell asleep.

Zachary, noticing she hadn't responded, glanced at her and saw she was already dozing off. He smiled and said, "You fall asleep so quickly."

He admired how easily she could drift off to sleep. For him, it was a different story. When he lay down, his mind would start racing with thoughts, making it hard for him to relax. It often took him at least an hour to finally fall asleep unless he had a drink to help him relax. Gently, he reached out and touched Serenity's face, feeling like he could never get enough of looking at her. "Seren, I love you, and I always will," he whispered softly in her ear.

He then lightly placed his hand on her belly, hoping the baby was resting too. Though he didn't get any response from the baby, Zachary felt pure happiness-a loving wife by his side and a baby on the way. Feeling content, Zachary closed his eyes.

At the Farrell mansion:

"Why won't you let us in? This is our home! We just want to get our things- why can't we go inside?"

"Exactly, this is our family's house! We were born here, grew up here, and it belongs to us just as much as anyone else."

"My sister is the head of the Farrell family now that our mother is gone. As her brothers, we have the right to be in our home."

Marco and his brothers stood outside the gates of the Farrell mansion, arguing with the guards who wouldn't let them enter.

After Clarissa passed away, Kathryn didn't immediately take over the family. Instead, Audrey, the eldest daughter, replaced all the servants in the mansion with her own people, securing control. Now, except for Kathryn and Pedro, none of the other family members, including Marco and his brothers, could come and go as they pleased.

To Audrey, Marco and his brothers were no more important than strangers. She never held them in high regard, especially given her dislike for Clarissa and her disapproval of how the family had been run. Kathryn had previously told Audrey that if it turned out Clarissa really gained power by harming her own sisters, she would give everything in the family back to Audrey.

Interestingly, it was Kathryn who informed Audrey that Marco and his brothers were trying to get into the mansion that day. Kathryn told her to not feel any obligation toward them and not to let them back in.

Kathryn suspected her brothers wanted to steal the valuable antiques and treasures inside the mansion-heirlooms that had been passed down through generations of their family leaders. She knew they had long coveted these items.

Even when their mother, Clarissa, was alive, Marco and his brothers had pressured her to either give them some of the treasures or sell them off to split the money. Clarissa, despite her faults, had always refused to touch those family heirlooms.

Though Clarissa had acquired a lot of the family's wealth for herself, she never dared to take the valuable heirlooms that had been passed down through generations. Her priority was always protecting the family's legacy.
