Mr. Brown added, “So what if they trashed your house? I want to thank Serenity for venting anger on my behalf as well. Chelsea, if you dare ask Serenity for compensation, your mother and I will cut all ties with you. Also, I’ve kept a tab of all the expenses your mother and I have spent on your family, so you have to pay me back!“Since your younger brother had a job, he gave us monthly living expenses that we spent on your household. But look what he got in return! His son was sent to the hospital because of your son!“Don’t accuse Serenity for making a fuss. I’ve asked around myself. Sonny was sent to the emergency room and was treated for a long time. The doctors were cursing the abuser for being ruthless, and I saw how badly Sonny was injured!“We just came out of the hospital. We’re going back to your house to pack our things. Your mom and I will stay in our own home from now on and will no longer babysit your children. Ask your in-laws to babysit them. If not, you can take car

However, they had to be careful because Sonny might get a fever at night.In the evening, Zachary and his brothers sent Liberty and Sonny home.Serenity was still worried about Sonny, so she brought Zachary to the balcony and said, “Can I stay over with my sister and nephew tonight?”Zachary was reluctant to part with Serenity as he started to have feelings for her and wanted to cling to her 24/7 if he could.However, Serenity was Sonny’s aunt, so he understood that she would want to stay back with Sonny at this time.“Zachary?”Serenity saw his deep eyes that were staring straight at hers. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line, and he did not speak. Thus, she asked c

Zachary gently let go of Serenity, bowed his head, and looked at her.Serenity gulped.Every time she looked at him, she could not overlook his attractiveness and always wanted to take advantage of him.If he had always been so gentle, she would have jumped him in less than a week.If she was more courageous, she could even try different moves every day.When Serenity was thinking about various ways to sleep with Zachary, Zachary’s deep voice resounded in her ears. He asked, “When did we sign an agreement?”Serenity was speechless.She looked dumbfounded as she was in disbelief that Zachary would say such a thing.“Back when we got our marriage license, you drafted the agreement and asked me to sign it. The contract period was half a year.”Zachary looked calm and said blankly, “Why don’t you recite the content of the agreement for me?”Serenity opened her mouth but could not say a word.After so long, she could not remember much about the contents of the agreement. She only

Mr. Zachary York is here.”“Let him in.”The bodyguard responded respectfully and turned to leave.Josh pointed to the yellow envelope on the table. “Zachary’s here to collect that.”“He came in person because he wants to meet me.”Julian instructed the butler to make tea and serve some fruit to the guest.Julian often used his family’s influence to help Josh. In fact, it was to help Zachary. Zachary knew that very well, so he came in person to thank Julian.“Zachary wanted to come and see you long ago, but you’ve been busy and you’re always away from home, so he hasn’t had the chance.”“Since he’s your friend, he’s also my friend. Friends help each other, so he doesn’t have to stand on ceremony. I’m glad that you’ve proven your

Ring ring ring…Julian’s cell phone rangAfter he answered the phone, he said apologetically, “Mr. York, I have something urgent to attend to. My apologies for not being able to host you.”Zachary quickly stood up.“Josh, please entertain Mr. York on my behalf.”Julian instructed his cousin and left.After Julian left, Josh took Zachary to his place.

When they got out of Josh’s house, Zachary said, “Next time when your mother is at home, don’t ask me to come over.”Josh laughed. “Whatever she says just goes in one ear and out the other.”“How was your blind date with Ms. Sox? Didn’t you mention it to your family?”“Julian knows about it, but I didn’t tell anyone else lest they pester Ms. Sox and scare her away.”Zachary patted him on the shoulder sympathetically. “If you like her, you just need to work harder to

Serenity was elated that he had the thoughtfulness to do so, but she still rejected the idea.Just as Zachary was about to anxiously say something, with one arm hugging the flowers, she hooked her other arm around his neck. She pulled his head lower, leaned in closer and said softly, “Don’t put too many flowers at home, or else the owner will be easily charmed.”After she said that, she even patted Zachary’s chest—she was telling him not to be easily charmed by others.Zachary was at a loss for words.Was there such a saying?He would have to ask Josh about this another day.Serenity got into his car.Zachary returned to his car and as he started it, he asked, “How’s Sonny?”“The swelling hasn’t gone away completely. Last night, he had a fever and cried the whole night. This morning, his fever finally went down but he was so tired from crying he only fell asleep in my sister’s arms then.”Serenity’s good mood deflated again once Sonny was mentioned.“Zachary.”Serenity looke

After Zachary parked the car, he remembered the evidence of Hank’s asset transfers and called out to Serenity who was about to get out of the car.“I asked a friend to help look into Hank’s asset transfers. My friend was very helpful and sent me the evidence last night. I put it in the backseat. It’s in that yellow folder.”“Your friend truly was very helpful. He managed to gather the evidence so quickly.”Serenity was not only grateful to that friend of his. She was curious about him and really wanted to meet him.She thought it would take a long time to gather the evidence, since Hank had not just started doing this recently.Yet, Zachary’s friend managed to gather all the evidence in just a day’s time.“Zachary, it’s such a waste if that friend of yours doesn’t open his own detective agency.”After Serenity got out of the car, she opened the door to the backseat and picked up the yellow folder that had been placed there.“He has a relative that specializes in information gat
