Chapter 1828
“Old Mrs. Johnson is more fortunate than me,” Grandma May said enviously. Old Mrs. Johnson was old, yet she still had her husband by her side and many children and grandchildren. All of them were filial too. Grandma May also had many children, but her husband passed away long ago. She was lonely, but the man who loved and understood her best was no longer there. She would feel even lonelier if she did not make herself busy.That was why she liked going out of her way to do things. “Seren, didn’t you say you have something to take care of? You should go. I’ll pack up and head out later.” Serenity hummed in agreement. She did have to handle the matter with Unit 188. At the same time, she called her sister to inform her that she was taking Sonny on a trip before the summer break ended. Liberty was with her son at the store she bought recently. When she received her sister’s call, she quickly agreed to her sister’s idea.The summer break was almost ending, yet she had not t

“Missus… isn’t home.”Zachary paused. He turned to ask Sam, “Where did she go?”“Missus didn’t say anything.”Zachary was disappointed that he could not see his wife after work. He immediately took out his phone to call her. The phone rang for a long time, but Serenity did not pick up. After ending the call, he asked, “Who did she go out with? Was it Nana?”There was no sound from the TV inside. Grandma May was probably not home as well. “Yes. Sonny too.”Zachary acknowledged and did not ask further. He brought the present he bought for Serenity into the house. Grandma May was an old child who could not stay still at home. She probably asked Serenity to have supper with her or enjoy the night breeze. Sam followed behind Zachary. He wished to speak but hesitated. Zachary did not notice that. After entering the house, he placed the gift on the coffee table and sat on the sofa. He tried calling Serenity again, but she still did not pick up even though the call connected.
Chapter 1830
Zachary was in disbelief. “Nana and Seren brought Sonny on a trip? She didn’t tell me about this! I called and texted her, but she didn’t respond to any of them. Did she just abandon her husband at home and go to have fun herself?“Liberty, look at Serenity. She’s being increasingly indifferent to me. She didn’t even tell me about such an important matter as this. She often goes on business trips and only returns after three to five days. She always neglects me.“I let it slide usually, but she’s not even telling me about an important matter like traveling now. She’s abandoning me at home on purpose. If she had informed me about it, I would’ve gone with her and clung to her if I had to.”Liberty said, “Seren has been exhausted lately. She’s just going on a trip to relax. She’s not neglecting you.”Her brother-in-law always complained to her. Whenever the husband and wife had a conflict, Zachary would surely complain to her, and she would criticize her sister. However, Seren had t

“Are you trying to make me die from laughter so you can inherit my assets, Zachary? It’s not your first day being Grandma May’s grandson. You should know her personality by now and be mentally prepared. You should be thankful that she didn’t kidnap your wife after you just got married. Otherwise, you would’ve been in a worse state.”It was a terrible feeling to be separated right after tasting the feeling of love. Zachary said, “I feel awful now too. I’m used to seeing my wife the first thing after opening my eyes. She always waits for me at home at night. Whenever she’s home, I’ll always be eager to return home because I don’t want her to wait up for me.“Now that she left me to have fun, decided not to let me follow her, and even changed her phone, I’m not used to it at all. Josh, come out to drink with me. It’s my treat.”He had tried having people find out where did Grandma May go. Since Grandma May was the one who brought Serenity out, she would not let him know where they

“Actually, Zachary has changed a lot because of Serenity. She has been getting busier these days. Maybe he’s complaining a little because he has been neglected occasionally.”Jasmine said, “He didn’t just start complaining. It’s been going on for some time. Serenity said she’s not one to write love letters, but she has to wrack her brain to write one for her husband to coax him.”It would be difficult for a bossy man like Zachary to change his character. He would probably still behave the same way even after he became a grandfather or great-grandfather with gray hair. It was fine as long as Serenity was willing to tolerate him. One loved to complain, while the other had to coax her husband. The cycle would repeat. Maybe it was fun for the husband and wife. Outsiders did not need to interfere but simply lend a listening ear. Josh looked toward Jasmine and said enviously, “Zachary received a love letter from his wife, but I haven’t. Jasmine, why don’t you write me one too? Let me
Chapter 1833
Josh nodded quickly. He said, “I won’t talk about love letters or compare myself to Zachary anymore. I’m much happier than he is.”He caressed Jasmine’s small abdomen, which was still flat. Zachary had not become a father even though he had been married for a long time. On the other hand, Josh was already becoming a father, and his relationship with Jasmine had always been smooth sailing. They were in a better situation than Zachary and Serenity. Josh was content. Jasmine placed her hand on top of the back of Josh’s and took his hand off. She said, “Don’t talk to Zachary about this.”“I didn’t say anything.”“I know what you’re going to say when you do that. Seren doesn’t say anything, but she’s still worried that she’s infertile. I often see her searching about infertility on the internet.”Josh hummed in agreement. “I won’t say anything. You should advise Serenity not to be hasty. Sometimes things won’t go how we want them to if too much stress is involved.”“I know. I don’t
Chapter 1834
Serenity requested the owner of Unit 188 to delete all the pictures she secretly took and even destroyed the film. As for her act of bringing Jenna into the residential area, she insisted that she was unaware of Jenna’s intentions. She only helped out because she thought Jenna was a relative of Zachary’s family. The villa owner maintained an innocent expression and guaranteed that she would mind her business in the future. Serenity believed her. After returning, she requested Sam to arrange for someone to keep an eye on the journalist. She thought the journalist’s intention was not as simple as exposing scandals. Serenity caught a hint of envy in the journalist’s gaze and the unconscious smile when Zachary was mentioned. If Serenity’s guess was right, the entertainment journalist was her second love rival. Zachary was a magnet. He did not only attract single women. Even divorced women had their eyes on him like he was a huge piece of meat. They seemed eager to eat him whole. Je

The night crept away while the day arrived. It was the start of another day. Zachary woke up. Before he opened his eyes, he turned to his side on instinct and stretched his long arms. His eyes snapped open when he did not manage to hug a soft body. His side was empty, and Serenity was nowhere to be seen. After being taken aback for a while, Zachary remembered that his nana had kidnapped his beloved wife. They had taken Sonny on a trip and abandoned him at home. He was not able to sleep the entire night because of it. He barely went to sleep by hugging Serenity’s pillow and treating it as her. Zachary took his phone and looked at the time. It was already past eight o’clock.In the past, he would always wake up around six for a morning run. Ah, even waking up felt so tiring without his wife by his side. Next, Zachary looked at the date. It was a Saturday. He had been so busy that he had forgotten the date. He felt like it was only Monday, but it was already Saturday. The wee
