“Dunc.”
Sonny pulled the kite string and walked toward Duncan.
Duncan smiled and pulled Sonny into his arms. He reached out to hold the kite string for Sonny and
asked, “Are you happy?”
“Yeah. Row said he’d bring me to play in the children’s playground later,”
This was Sonny’s second time in Wildridge Manor. He remembered that his uncle’s house had a big
children’s playground and that it was fun.
Duncan said dotingly, “I can also bring you there.”
“Dunc, you’re an adult, but Row isn’t one yet. I’ll be happier if he goes with me.”
Adults were not as playful as children.novelbin
The little one knew the difference very well.
Duncan caressed Sonny’s head and asked with a smile, “Sonny, you don’t want me anymore now that
you have Row, huh?”
Sonny complained, “You only know how to stack blocks, Dunc.”
Duncan was speechless.
He liked Sonny, but he admitted that he was not doing a good enough job at pleasing Sonny, mainly
because he had never liked a child like this before he knew Sonny.
“Sonny, come here. Let’s see whose kite flies higher,” Rowan shouted after his kite took off.
Sonny immediately pulled his kite and ran toward Rowan.
Duncan grinned and watched.
He was thinking about expanding the villa he always lived in and building a children’s playground so
that Sonny could play in it in the future.
When Zachary and Serenity saw this, they did not walk over to disturb them from flying kites. The
couple strolled hand in hand along a wooded path.
No one would be insensible enough to disturb the loving couple..
“Zachary.”
Zachary turned to look at Serenity.
Serenity continued, “Nana told me about my duties. I thought there were just a few stores, but I was
shocked when I saw the accounts. The few bookshelves are full of account books. Do all women in
your family manage these?”
Zachary chuckled and answered, “Not really. Only the head missus manages these. These are public
and belong to the entire family. Some belong to our small family. I’ll slowly tell you about our small
family’s businesses when you’re more familiarized with everything.”
Serenity responded, “I thought you were in charge of everything that makes money…”
“I’m in charge of the big businesses while you’re in charge of the small ones.”
Serenity was speechless. “There are so many books of accounts, yet you say they’re small
businesses?”
“They’re small businesses as compared to what York Corporation deals with. If the shops are self-
operated, only a few hundred thousand dollars will be earned in a year. At most, it’ll be more than at
million dollars. Those that aren’t self–operated are rented out. The monthly rents are about 8,000 to
10,000 dollars, amounting to roughly 100,000 dollars a year.
“Chain stores earn a little more, but they’re not worth mentioning as compared to York Corporation.
These small businesses are given to you to manage. The income will mainly be used for internal
expenses, so treat it as your allowance as my wife.”
Simply the allowance was shocking.”
Although the money earned from each store in a year was not much to Zachary, the Yorks had many
stores. In Serenity’s words, there were many account books on the few large bookshelves, which
meant. that there was a lot of money.
The rent collected each month alone was money that could never be earned by ordinary people in a
lifetime.
