Sonny soon fell asleep in his mother’s arms.Liberty took the opportunity of him sleeping and handed him over to her sister. She was extremely grateful that Serenity and her husband hired Mrs. Lane to help her take good care of Sonny.She could not stand on her own feet yet, but she would remember Serenity and Zachary’s kindness. She would repay them well when she could stand on her own again.Liberty then went to work.Elisa received a phone call from a friend. The others did not know what the friend said, but after Elisa took the call, she said goodbye to Serenity and Jasmine before leaving in a hurry.“Jasmine, you watch the shop with Sonny first. I’ll take Mrs. Lane to buy some bedding products.”Serenity had not forgotten that she had to buy a bed, cabinets, and bedding for Mrs. Lane.“Sure.”Jasmine agreed easily. Business would be idle until the students finished their classes in the evening.She would always read novels to pass the time.Mrs. Lane said, “Ms. Hunt, you
Unfortunately, the handful of close friends he had were just as inexperienced as he was.He could not ask Nana for a few tricks in private either. She would laugh at him.He thought of how he stubbornly said to Nana that he would not chase after his wife. Now, he was feeling his cheeks burn in embarrassment.However, he did not actually have to chase after his wife. Serenity was already his wife!“Thank you for your concern, Mr. York. I’ll be mindful.”Serenity’s dexterous hands were nimbly crafting a car. “Mr. York, you take Mrs. Lane home first. Also, don’t forget to take Snowball and the others with you.”Zachary’s expression tightened. “I won’t take the three furballs.”“Then let Mrs. Lane take them. The store’s not busy now, so you two can’t help me much here anyway. Why not go home and let Mrs. Lane clean up her room?”“You’re chasing me away!”Serenity glanced up at him and then looked down again to continue working. She said in amusement, “Mr. York, I realized that you
When Serenity learned the truth, she realized she had to apologize to Elisa.Mr. York in fact had a wife.Elisa should give up.She was a good girl. Serenity hoped that Elisa could let go of her feelings for Mr. York as soon as possible, and look for her happiness that belonged to her.“Since Mr. York is married, why wasn’t there any news?”Even Elisa did not know about it.“It should be to protect his wife. Think about it. Our boss is young, handsome, promising, and rich. Any woman who sees him in real life would fall head over heels for his charm.“Although no other woman except Ms. Stone has the courage to openly confess to him and pursue him, it doesn’t mean that there aren’t people who adore him. He’s worried that exposing his beloved wife’s identity and appearance would bring trouble for her. He’s also afraid that someone would hurt his wife while he’s not paying attention.”“I don’t know about the others, but Elisa is definitely not that kind of person. She’s a good girl
It was likely that she usually closed the store late to rush her crafts.Serenity looked at him. “You don’t have that much of an impact.”Zachary was speechless.“My sister will be bringing up the divorce to Hank tonight. I’m a little worried.”“Shall I go there with you?”Serenity looked at the time and said, “Hank isn’t back at this time. He usually only returns late at night.”In the past, the sisters were stupid and thought that Hank only returned home late because he was busy socializing after being promoted to be a manager. However, he was actually spending time with his lover!“Have faith in Liberty. She will take care of it.”Zachary could only comfort Serenity this way.After a moment of silence, she said, “I keep having this feeling that it won’t go smoothly. The Brown family is too shameless. You don’t know this, but they tried to make Sonny sick in order to keep my sister from going to work.”She told Zachary what Olivia had done.Zachary’s expression was dark af
Zachary looked at Serenity, who was also looking at him. He asked her, “Do you want to go to your sister’s house to take a look?”Serenity looked at the time on her phone and said, “Hank won’t be back at this time.”She paused and added, “My sister will take care of her own affairs. I’ll do my best to help her if she asks for help.”Zachary then stayed silent.He was texting someone on his phone.A few minutes later, he suddenly said to her, “You’re not in a good mood. Why don’t you call it a day? I can accompany you wherever you want to go.”After a brief silence, Serenity said, “I don’t have anywhere to go.”Lately, Serenity’s mood would worsen drastically at the mention of her sister’s marriage.Serenity and Liberty only had each other for so many years. After Liberty got married, Serenity thought her sister had found a good home and that what awaited her would be a lifetime of happiness.However, the cruel reality was a slap in the face.Liberty’s marriage was falling apa
When Zachary heard that, he frowned and wanted to say something, but Serenity continued, “Jasmine and I will compensate Elisa in other ways. We won’t take advantage of her.”Serenity and Jasmine could not stop Elisa from putting those things at the bookstore. If they did not accept it, they could not imagine Elisa’s degree of anger, so they had to accept it first.When Jasmine and Serenity were tidying up earlier, they had a good idea of how much those things were worth.In the future, they would find an opportunity to return the favor to Elisa.“It’s not a matter of taking advantage of her. Your store isn’t that spacious. You already have so many bookshelves and storage boxes, yet Ms. Stone keeps stuffing things into your store. It’s not like you can sell them. Isn’t that just taking up unnecessary space?”Actually, Zachary was just annoyed because he did not occupy any space in his wife’s store, and Elisa beat him to it.Zachary thought Elisa was always monopolizing his wife,
Serenity said she wanted to go to the beach for some fresh air, so her wish was Zachary’s command.Of course, he could not bring her to the Seaview Villa.Fortunately, during this season, the beach was not as busy as it was in the summer at this hour. There were only a few tourists scattered around the beach.The couple walked on the soft sand while the waves crashed onto the shore. The sea breeze messed up Serenity’s hair and she was feeling chilly.Zachary suddenly stopped in his tracks, so Serenity followed suit and asked him, “What’s wrong?”He took off his suit jacket and handed it to Serenity. “It’s quite windy today. You should wear my jacket.”Seeing that Serenity did not take the jacket from him, Zachary continued, “Are you gonna put it on yourself, or do you want me to help you?”Serenity had no choice but to take his jacket and put it on. She asked, “Aren’t you cold?”“I am, but I’m more afraid that you’ll catch a cold.”Serenity looked at him and laughed, “Mr. York
Serenity laughed.She suddenly wanted to see Zachary strip dance.Zachary stood up and flicked her forehead and she winced from the pain.“I don’t even know what’s in your head. You’re always so unpredictable.”Serenity put it out there again, “Nana always tells me to jump you, strip you, and sleep with you so she can have a great-granddaughter. I’m still thinking if I should fulfill Nana’s wish.”Zachary flicked her forehead again when he heard this.“Ouch!”It was painful, so Serenity took revenge by pinching his cheeks.“Serenity.”Zachary grabbed both of her hands and looked serious. Serenity’s playfulness vanished abruptly when she met his deep eyes. She said cautiously, “Mr. York, just say what you want to say. Your serious look is scaring me.”“Listen.”“Mhmm, I’m all ears.”“Whether we sleep together or not, it’s our privacy, so we should follow our hearts. Don’t sleep with me just because someone tells you to.”Zachary did not want their first time to be because o
