Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 5507

Everly was envious.

When Maddie was pregnant with Everly, her husband, Ike Flemming, died in an accident. At the time, her family, the Zellers, advised her to abort the child and leave the Flemmings to remarry someone else.

However, Maddie had a very deep bond with Ike, who was an only child. Kaden had not had to beg Maddie to keep the baby, as she insisted on giving birth to Everly, Ike’s only living legacy.

Maddie had hoped for a son, since the Flemmings had a large family business. If it were a son, the succession would be much smoother, at least when it came to winning over the senior executives.

Yet, a girl, Everly, was born. Maddie was utterly disappointed and could not accept that she was a girl. She even suspected the hospital had swapped her child out.

She clamored for a maternity test to prove it and refused to believe it even after Kaden and her own family all said the child had not been swapped out.

Finally, they actually did the DNA test, which proved Everly was biologically Maddie’s. It was only then that Maddie accepted that she had a daughter. Still, not being able to have a son with her late husband remained Maddie’s biggest regret.

Kaden and Maddie were eager for Everly’s arrival, but after she was born, her mother was very unhappy for a time. Kaden was the one who brought Everly up. Even now that she was an adult and had started taking over management of the company, Maddie often bemoaned that Everly was not a boy.

It was not that Maddie did not love her daughter, but at the same time, she lamented.

That was why Everly was envious of Heath and Callia.

Heath was the first of his generation, and his parents only had him more than a year after tying the knot. The entire York family naturally treasured the first of the grandchildren they very much looked forward to having.

All the more so for Callia, who was the one and only daughter they had had in generations. The moment she was born, she was surrounded by love and was truly their beloved princess.

“Mr. York’s nickname…” Everly chuckled but did not continue.

Sonny laughed too. “We all thought it was so normal to call him that when he was young, but it’s weird to call him that now that he’s all grown, isn’t it?”
