Chapter 4110

Although the York brothers respected and were filial to their parents, they were not as close to their parents compared to their grandparents. Tania once told Zachary about his first day at preschool. When he arrived home from school, his parents, grandparents, and uncles were waiting for him. After he got out of the car, he ran toward them. Tania was the first to squat and open her arms, waiting for him to enter her embrace. However, he ended up running past her and went straight toward his nana. After Grandma May held him, he asked his grandfather to lift him, ignoring his parents and uncles. That was because his parents and uncles were busy with work and rarely spent time with him. Kids would get closer to whoever took care of them. Sonny was another example. He and Duncan were like father and son because Duncan often took him out to play and accompanied him. As a result, the Browns felt a sense of danger, worried about Duncan snatching Sonny away. Serenity replied, “Of course, I’ll look after the baby myself. The nanny will simply assist us. We’ll take care of the baby. “You’re in charge of working and earning money. We’ll need more money to buy formula after the baby’s born. I’m experienced because I’ve raised Sonny.” Zachary smiled. “We have tens of billions of assets added together. Do you think we won’t have enough money for formulas? “I don’t care. I’ll stay at home to take care of the baby. I’ll also accompany you and look after you. You don’t have to care about anything aside from resting during postpartum. “I have many younger brothers. It’s their turn to shoulder some responsibilities. I’m tired of having to carry that burden for so long. I want to rest.” After speaking, Zachary rested his hand on Serenity’s baby bump. He said with worry, “I’m already concerned about our child before he’s born, honey. He’ll be the eldest of his generation. “In our family, the eldest son is usually the successor. Being the successor is tiring. “I’m well aware of it because I’ve been through everything. I don’t want our child to be that tired, but that’s his responsibility and mission. It can’t be helped.” Luckily, they were expecting a son. They could not bear to let a daughter shoulder such a heavy responsibility. Zachary consoled himself that way. If he and Serenity were expecting a daughter, the second child of the youngest generation would be the successor instead. In any case, daughters were meant to be spoiled. “It’s too early to talk about that. Maybe our son is mediocre and incapable of being the successor. You have eight brothers and cousins. They’ll also get married and have children. “If each of them has two children, there’ll be eighteen children in that generation. No one can guess which of them has the most outstanding ability. The wisest shall be the successor. You took over because you’re the eldest and the most competent among your brothers. “If you weren’t exceptional, the York elders wouldn’t have let you bear such a heavy responsibility.” Serenity had not met Zachary’s grandfather. She only saw him in Zachary’s precious photo albums. Gramps looked kind, yet he had a sharp gaze. He would know better than anyone which grandson he raised was the most capable. Serenity dared say that Gramps did not consider seniority but competency when choosing his successor. Then, he would prioritize training that person. “Besides, we both have careers. Even if our son doesn’t inherit York Corporation, he can’t run away from helping us manage our businesses.” Serenity’s company and its operations were small in scale. However, Zachary’s own company was huge and had great potential. Although it was not comparable to York Corporation, it was still ahead of many other megacorporations.
