Chapter 1303
Lily was not at all offended. She and Duncan had long known each other, but there was barely any interaction between them. More accurately, they never really hung out together. It was not strange that Duncan had little knowledge of her past. “Here you go, Ms. Harmon.” Liberty made the food and brought over Lily’s order. She put it in front of Lily and said with a smile, “Enjoy, Ms. Harmon.” Lily gave Liberty a smile. Liberty returned to her seat. “How did you get to know her, Liberty?” Serenity whispered. “Mrs. Lewis came by the other day and had a chat with me. She told me she was trying to pair Ms. Harmon and Mr. Lewis up. She showed me Ms. Harmon’s picture, and that was how I recognized her.” Liberty kept her voice down when replying to her sister. She added. “Don’t you think they make a cute couple? It feels relaxing to be around her. She doesn’t have the arrogance of the upper crust.” Serenity looked into her sister’s eyes before burying her head in her food. S
Chapter 1304
While it was a cooking spree at Liberty’s diner, Zachary woke up back at home and as always before opening his eyes, he turned to his side and reached out to hold his wife. Alas, all he grabbed was air. Zachary opened his eyes. Serenity was no longer in the room. He looked at the sky outside. The sun was high. Turning over, Zachary grabbed his phone on the bedside table to look at the time. “Nine o’clock?!”He jolted up. Even during the weekend, Zachary had never gotten up this late. Maybe he came home a little too late last night. Zachary washed up and got dressed in record time. He even picked an outfit Serenity had bought for him. He opened the bedroom door to find Mrs. Lane watching TV on the sofa with a cat on her lap. With the door swinging open, Mrs. Lane cocked her head to look at him. She then rose to her feet and said with a smile, “You’re awake, Mr. Zachary. Should I get a start on breakfast?” “It’s after nine now.” Zachary mumbled as he walked out of
Chapter 1305
Serenity bent over to hold the cat up. “Missus, you might want to sweet-talk Mr. Zachary. He hasn’t eaten anything since he got up.” Mrs. Lane had no words for her boss’s sudden tantrum. She would not know Zachary had a childish side to him if she did not work here. While stroking the cat, Serenity remarked, “Mrs. Lane, you must let me know why he’s angry before I can calm him down. I didn’t do anything.” Mrs. Lane whispered, “I think Mr. Zachary is angry that you went out early in the morning. He must be hoping you would spend time with him since he’s home for the weekend.” Serenity replied, “I went to help my sister at her diner… Although it’s the weekend, many factories are not closed. The workers still went to work. My sister’s breakfast place was going to be packed, so I left early to help her. But I came home early. I’m back before ten o’clock.” It did not cross her mind that Zachary would sulk over a trivial matter.Mrs. Lane was at a loss for words. “I’ll go in

“When’s Nana coming back? I miss her so much.”Serenity missed the days when the old woman lived with them.Mrs. Lane said, “It was too late by the time I wanted to remind you. You already pushed the door and went in.”Serenity sighed again. “I’ll go wash my hands.”She washed her hands twice with antibacterial soap and went back to the room where she used to sleep. She then took a set of clean clothes from the closet and changed before she re-entered the master bedroom.“Babe, I washed my hands twice with antibacterial soap and changed my clothes too. There won’t be a single cat fur on my body.”Serenity walked behind Zachary and reached out to encircle his waist.“I’m sorry, okay? I really just forgot that I was holding the cat. In fact, they’re really cute, and you were the one who gave them to me. I treasure everything that you give me. You said you’d treasure it even if I gave you grass, and it’s the same for me. I’ll treasure whatever you give me.”Zachary did not turn ar

“Putting aside all the things we have to do, even if we retire in the future, there’s no guarantee that we’ll wake up every day and see each other right when we open our eyes.”There would always be one of them who would wake up earlier than the other.Zachary knew that he was being absurd.“Mrs. Lane said that you haven’t eaten yet. You must be hungry. Come on, let’s go eat. I’ll accompany you.”Serenity refuted him until he was speechless, and she could tell that he realized he was being unreasonable. Thus, she stopped dwelling on the topic and took the initiative to change the subject.The couple would just end up arguing if they dwelled on it further.“Okay.”Zachary hummed and let go of his beloved wife.Serenity pulled him out.Mrs. Lane already served Zachary’s breakfast on the table.Zachary was fussy, but in front of Serenity, he would always have to bow his head and compromise.Mrs. Lane was not worried at all that the breakfast she made would be wasted.“Why didn
Chapter 1308
Serenity once again sighed at her fortune. Although the man she married liked to throw tantrums, he was very good to her. He never raised his hand against her, and she did not have to worry about him cheating on her.More importantly, his family was great. Having open-minded and tolerant in-laws like the Yorks was rare among wealthy and influential families.She remembered Grandma May saying that since Serenity saved her life, she would never introduce a bad grandson to Serenity.In fact, all of her grandsons were exceptional.Zachary was just the oldest and thought to be the most exceptional by his elders.“Mrs. Lewis already helped pick a wife candidate for Mr. Lewis. Her name is Ms. Lily Harmon. She’s young and beautiful, but she also seems to be smart and competent. I could tell at a glance that she was an experienced person. The self-confidence and nobility that emanates from her gestures show that she came from a wealthy background. Furthermore, she must be good if she could
Chapter 1309
“I think Mrs. Lewis showed your sister Ms. Harmon’s picture deliberately to test whether your sister has any ideas about Duncan. In the end, she found out that Liberty has absolutely no interest in her son and was purely focused on her store and making money.”Zachary’s analysis was more thorough than Serenity’s.“If Liberty showed the slightest hint that she was interested in Duncan, Mrs. Lewis would not allow her to continue operating her store.”Serenity agreed with her husband.Mrs. Lewis was testing Liberty, but Liberty did not know anything. However, that was good. At least Liberty would not be influenced.“Babe, do you think I should tell my sister about all this?”“Mrs. Lewis’s hands are tied, which means she’s on the same boat as we are. She only has speculations but no way to prove them. You don’t need to say anything to Liberty. I’ll talk to Duncan and tell him not to go to your sister’s store for breakfast so often in the future.”Zachary grumbled about Duncan in his

“If it’s something you like, I’ll do my best to satisfy you as long as it’s within the scope of what I can tolerate. Don’t thank me. I don’t like to hear you thank me. If you really want to thank me, give me something practical.”Serenity laughed. “You don’t lack anything, and I wholly belong to you. What else can I give you?”Zachary liked what she had just said very much.Ring, ring, ring…Serenity’s phone rang.When she took out her phone to look at the caller ID, she excitedly answered the call.Zachary tried to guess who the person calling was. Why was Serenity so eager to answer their call?Was she also this excited whenever he called her?Zachary tended to be jealous of her loved ones and compared himself to them. He hoped that in the end, she would consider him to be the most significant.“Nana.”Serenity did not know that the man beside her was being jealous because she answered the phone so quickly.The call was from Grandma May.When Zachary heard Serenity’s gree
