Chapter 506
With tears running down Mrs. Stone’s face, Serenity handed her a tissue and said apologetically, “I’m s
orry, Mrs. Stone.”
“Serenity.”
Mrs. Stone held her hands, choking in sobs. “I’m sorry about your childhood. I didn’t find quick enough.
Maybe your mom wouldn’t have died if I tracked you down sooner.”

Had her sister been located sooner, Mrs. Stone would have brought her to live in the city. Then, her sist
er would never have lost her life, together with her husband, in a tragic car accident in the little town.
Although the DNA test had not been done, Serenity felt a
lump in her throat and her eyes welling up after listening to what Mrs. Stone had to say.
It would be great if her mom was still alive.
“Stop crying,
Mom. Dad told me to keep an eye on you and not to let you cry. You had been crying all day yesterday.
”
Elisa took the tissue from Serenity and patted her mother’s tears dry while consoling
her, ” Mom, you can take the DNA test with Serenity. If it comes back positive, at least you still have Ser
enity and Liberty.
Mrs. Stone wiped away her tears. “I can’t stop myself from getting emotional.”
Back then, Mrs. Stone and her sister lost both their
parents at a young age too. Without the means to raise her sister, Mrs. Stone had to be apart from her
sister.
The separation was for fifty long years. Now that Mrs. Stone finally got word about it, it turned out her si
ster was long gone.
Despite being known as the strong and tough superwoman, Mrs. Stone was beyond
heartbroken.
She resented the unfairness of the world.
It took the two girls quite an effort to pacify Mrs. Stone before Serenity had the chance to call Liberty. Af
ter getting her sister’s opinion, Serenity agreed to do the DNA test with Mrs. Stone.
“I’ll watch the shop for you,” Elisa volunteered.
Serenity grabbed the car keys and walked around the cash register, uttering, “I’ll close the shop. Let me
buy you lunch later.”
With her craftwork coming to mind, Serenity made her way back and grabbed a few crafts to give to Mr
s. Stone. “Mrs. Stone, I made these myself. The little trinkets aren’t worth much, but they’re my handicr
afts. These are for you.‘
Mrs. Stones took the crafts and complimented her, “Your handicrafts are beautiful. I love
them.”
that’s not fair, Serenity. You only gave me a maneki–
neko while my mom got a few. They‘re prettier than my maneki–neko.”
Mrs. Stone nagged, “You can place an order on Serenity‘s online shop if you want more.”
Serenity said with a smile, “Let me know what you want. I‘ll make a few to your preference.”
Elisa‘s maneki–
neko was supposed to be for Zachary, but Serenity gave it to Elisa instead. Zachary threw a tantrum bec
“I need to go back and think about it. I‘ll let you know once I get an idea. I‘ll order
through your website and boost your sales.”
These little knick–
knacks were not worth much money, but they were exquisite. Elisa was a big fan and had the money to
long as the latter could make it.
“Thank you in advance. I owe it to you for recommending my business all around.”
Serenity took the mother and daughter out before closing up the shop.
“Elisa, I‘ll ride in Serenity‘s car.”
Mrs. Stone wanted to know more about her sister, so she chose to ride with Serenity to the DNA testing
“Look at my mom, Serenity. She‘s picking you over me before the test result is even out.”
Serenity burst into laughter. “Mrs. Stone will always love you the most.” Elisa was well–
loved by the Stone family.
