Chapter 306
However, Serenity’s words left Zachary dumbfounded. It was not like he could argue since he forbade her from entering his bedroom in the first place. Similarly, he was not allowed inside hers. Once more, Zachary believed the agreement he signed was restricting himself instead. He would never dream that he would be the first to be tempted to break the contract. Zachary wondered if he could back out of it. Where did she hide the agreement? Should he steal and destroy the contract when she was not at home? It was simply a fleeting thought that Zachary quickly quashed. The Great Zachary York would never do such a brazen act. “What an adorable dog.” Running her fingers down the dog’s fur, Jasmine could not get enough of the dog’s cuteness. Zachary had a good eye. He picked out the most adorable dog and kittens. Sonny fought to get down on the ground. He did not want Zachary to hold him as he wanted to play with the doggie. Serenity pulled out her phone to take pict

“You’re here too, Zachary.” Seeing that her brother-in-law was around, Liberty smiled at Zachary before picking up her son. Liberty smooched her son’s cheeks a few times until the little man was tickled pink. “Liberty,” Zachary greeted his sister-in-law.“Huh? Where did these cats and a dog come from? They’re so cute!” Liberty noticed the new members in the shop after kissing her son. “Zachary gave them to me. Liberty, did you find a job?” It had been quite some time since Serenity saw Liberty so elated as she did when she came in. Liberty first praised the pets Zachary bought before answering her sister, “I got a job. It was unexpected. I didn’t think I’d bump into someone I know. Seren, do you know where I’ll be working?“It’s Lewis & Co.” Serenity did not pay much attention to the major corporations in town. She only recognized York Corporation, the most well-known company in the city because her best friend would not stop talking about the heir. She became more famili

Zachary turned his head back and looked at Serenity who was focused on carrying two dishes. Zachary quickly glanced at the food. It was a plate of greens and another plate of seafood. This was the seafood Elisa gave Serenity. He took large strides over and grabbed the plates from Serenity’s hands. “Since I’m here, I’ll take the dishes out. You won’t have to travel back and forth.” “Thank you, Mr. York.” Instead of leaving, Zachary stopped in his tracks and looked back at her. “What’s the matter?” Serenity picked up another two dishes after Zachary took over the first two. With his dark eyes staring straight at her, Serenity was puzzled and lowered her gaze to her clothes to see if they were stained. “Can you… not call me Mr. York?” Zachary voiced his displeasure. It was best to come clean with Serenity about his thoughts as Serenity was in no mood nor did she have the time to guess what was on his mind. She abided by the agreement. “What should I call you then?”

With Zachary putting it out there, Liberty did not argue and helped her son put on the disposable gloves. After lunch, Zachary helped his wife to clear the dirty dishes and brought them to the kitchen to wash. Liberty could not stop singing praises of her brother-in-law in her sister’s presence. Liberty urged Serenity to be nice to Zachary. She was utterly afraid that her failed marriage would discourage her sister from believing marriages could work. Hank was a cheating b*stard, but that did not mean all men were the same. Good husbands still existed in the world. Liberty was not lucky enough to meet the right guy. Serenity replied helplessly, “Got it, Liberty. You don’t have to constantly put in the good word for him. I’m going to help him with the dishes.” She then slipped into the kitchen before her sister could start nagging about Zachary’s greatness again. Liberty told her to treat Zachary right as if she had been bullying and torturing him. Jasmine secretly l

Zachary sat outside for a while before getting ready to go back to work. Serenity came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes. Seeing that he needed to go, Serenity walked with him to his car. Keeping to himself, Zachary grabbed the envelope from his car and turned around to hand it to Serenity. He said in a husky voice, “It’s all in here.” Serenity took the evidence of Hank’s infidelity, intending to thank him once more. Looking into his dark and profound eyes, Serenity looked around and gave up on the thought when she saw people around them. “Watch out on the road. Send me a text message when you’re at the office, so I know you got there safely.” Zachary pressed his lips together before acknowledging gruffly that he heard her. After getting into the car, he gave her a lingering look and drove off. Serenity stood there and watched as his car accelerated away while feeling something had changed between them It felt a bit like love. Perhaps she should not hide in he

Liberty bit her lips, refusing to let herself shed another tear. She had cried for Hank. Liberty did not want to waste any more tears on him. Her tears would not gain her his affection in return, so why should she cry her eyes out? “I’m okay.” Liberty inserted the documents back into the envelope while putting on a brave face and saying, “I’m so over it. It’s not like I’m only finding out now that he’s cheating on me.“Seren.” Liberty handed the envelope to her sister. “Keep the evidence for me. Hank might try to transfer away the assets and whatnot if he finds this at home. It won’t be good for me.” “Okay.” Serenity grabbed the envelope. Liberty uttered calmly, “I’ll pretend I don’t know anything and bring up divorce when I hold down the job as you said. I’ll fight for what’s mine. No way am I going to let them have it!” While she might have stopped working after getting married, she had sacrificed a lot for the family. Hank’s income was the couple’s joint asset a

“My sister doesn’t owe you. Why should my sister fork out the money to ease your mom and sister’s craving for seafood? Hank, I might not have worked and contributed financially to the family in the three-odd years we have been married, I have sacrificed a lot for the family. Without me behind you, do you think you’d find success in your career without any worries?“I won’t buy the seafood if you don’t give me the money. Don’t forget to pay for the labor cost too. You said it yourself. We’re going halves. I have no obligation to cook for your mom and sister, but if you insist, you should pay for the manual labor. “Since we’ve been married for three years, I’ll only charge you two hundred bucks for it.” Hank yelled on the phone. “All you know is spend money and eat. You'll eat yourself to death! What did you do for the family? I have seen no sacrifice on your part. I got to where I am today because of my hard work. Don’t try to take credit for it.“What do you mean labor cost? Isn’
Chapter 313
Chelsea hung up the phone in fury, unable to get Liberty to come home now despite rushing the latter twice. Chelsea said to her mother, “Mom, Liberty is at her sister’s shop. She said something about Sonny being asleep and will only head home when Sonny’s awake. She told us to collect the keys from her.” Furrowing her brows, Mrs. Brown replied peevishly, “You can carry Sonny home if he’s asleep. Serenity owns a car. She can drive them home, and it won’t take up a lot of her time.” Mrs. Brown believed her daughter-in-law was deliberately making them wait at the door. “She must be doing it on purpose. She’s making us wait here for her.” Chelsea shared the same sentiment about her sister-in-law. “Mom, you’ve forgotten to bring your keys before, and Liberty was not home either. She would rush home to unlock the door whenever we called her. She never left us waiting for a long time, unlike now. Mom, I think Liberty has changed since her fight with Hank.”Mrs. Brown replied, “Yeah
