Love at First Novel

Chapter 3842

Chapter 3842 Kathryn smiled and said, “Liberty, you’ve raised Sonny so well. I can already picture him thriving in ten or twenty years.” For Kathryn, the only young kids in Wiltspoon she felt connected to were Sonny and Clive’s son. And soon, there would be the little one Serenity was expecting. “Oh, and by the way, I’ve marked all the New Year gifts I prepared, so you’ll know who they’re for,” Kathryn continued. “One is for the baby Serenity’s expecting. Since the little one will be calling me aunt, I wanted to be prepared. I don’t know if Serenity’s having a boy or a girl, so I got one for each. If it’s a boy, she can save the other gift for her second child.” Kathryn chuckled. “Knowing how much the York family wants a girl, I’m sure Serenity and Zachary will try for a daughter someday.” It wasn’t too much to plan ahead. “You’ve even gotten a gift for a baby who isn’t born yet,” Liberty said, eyeing Kathryn thoughtfully. “Are you planning to leave and cut ties with us?” Kathryn didn’t deny it. “I’ll be leaving Jensburg eventually. After the New Year, I’ll make sure the handover is smooth. Once Pedro and I settle somewhere, I don’t know when—or if—we’ll see each other again. That’s why I wanted to give these gifts now.” After Clarissa’s passing, Kathryn knew it was only a matter of time before she had to go. Audrey might not hold a grudge against her or seek revenge, but things could never be normal between them. Kathryn’s mother had killed Audrey’s mother, and in turn, Kathryn’s mother died because of Audrey’s retaliation. Kathryn didn’t hate her cousin; her mother’s actions had consequences. But the tension was undeniable. Leaving was the best option. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

If she stayed in Jensburg, it would only create anxiety for the family and unrest within the company. There couldn’t be two leaders in one place. People would always fear a future power struggle between her and Liberty that could destabilize the Farrell Group. This was Liberty’s era now, not hers. “I’m tired of this life,” Kathryn admitted. “I need to go back to my own circle. I’ve distanced myself from my old friends, and I regret that. I’d like to rebuild those connections and be friends with them again, if possible.” Liberty stayed silent for a moment, watching Kathryn and processing her words. Finally, she spoke. “If you and Mr. Fraser decide to have a wedding, no matter where you are, you have to send us an invitation. We’ll be there, as your relatives from your mother’s side.” After all, they were family, connected through Kathryn’s mother. Kathryn looked over at Pedro, who met her gaze. The love they shared was evident in their eyes. “When we get married, I’ll definitely send an invitation,” Kathryn promised. “But I don’t think it will be anytime soon. Just like you and Mr. Lewis, we’ll get our marriage certificate first and hold off on the wedding for a while.” With that declaration, Kathryn made it clear to everyone present that Pedro was her chosen partner for life. Pedro’s expression softened, filled with love and gratitude. Clarissa might not have succeeded in making Kathryn the head of the Farrell family, but she had ensured her daughter found a devoted partner. For Kathryn, reuniting with her biological family wasn’t all for nothing. It had given her more than she expected. Pedro was the greatest gift of all. While Kathryn appreciated the wealth Clarissa left her, it was the love she’d found that meant the most.
