Chapter 477
Chelsea was glared at by her father and did not dare speak, but she desperately shot a look at her brother.Hank received his sister’s plea for help. He cleared his throat and said to Serenity, “Serenity, just let my sister take Matthew to apologize and leave it at that. I’m after all Sonny’s father and one of his guardians, so I think I have the right to decide.”Serenity said sarcastically, “Oh, so you do remember that you’re Sonny’s father? If other children’s fathers knew their son got bullied, they would drag a forty-meter-long broadsword to get even with the perpetrator with no second thoughts.“You’re his father, but you want to settle the matter instead. Are you closer to your nephew than your own son?”Serenity then said to George, “Sonny was rescued in the hospital and had a full-body examination which cost several thousand. I’ve brought the bill from the hospital so you won’t think I’m ripping you off.“I came here today for two reasons. Firstly, I want you to bring you

Seeing Serenity immediately transfering the money to his daughter-in-law, Mr. Brown breathed a small sigh of relief.The money was given to his daughter-in-law and would be used for his grandson, not for an outsider.If the money had gone to his son, it would have gone back to his daughter’s pocket.When they left the Reptons’ residence, Rowan insisted on taking Zachary’s car.In the car, he said to Serenity, “Serenity, why didn’t you call me when you all came over to fight yesterday? I was the only one excluded.”Serenity turned her head and looked at her youngest brother-in-law, saying, “You’re still a minor. We have to protect minors.”“Actually, both Matthew and I are minors. If we fight, it’ll just be two minors fighting.”“We didn’t have to do anything. Let his own father teach him a lesson. Didn’t you hear what his amazing mother said? She wanted us to compensate her. She had no way to claim from us solely because he was beaten by his father instead of us.”“Nana said I’

Serenity was shocked. She remembered how desperately she studied back in high school to be accepted into a reputable university.However, Zachary and his brothers could easily get into a good university and even skipped a few grades.“Serenity, don’t look like you’ve been hit to the point of doubting your existence. The person who’s been hit the hardest is me.”Serenity thought about it and agreed. Rowan was the most pitiful one here. She laughed and said, “Don’t be discouraged, Rowan. I believe you can also get into a good university. You can do it!”“I have to get into the same university that my brothers went to. If I fail, I’ll... retake the exam.”He wanted to say that if he failed, he would slap himself twice. However, after thinking about it, it was better not to put his foot in his mouth, so he changed his mind.Zachary turned to glance at his brother before returning to focusing on driving. “If you fail, don’t say that you’re my brother.”Rowan was speechless.“Zachary

Grandma May was actually in denial of her feelings of schadenfreude.Serenity stayed up the whole last night and only drank a cup of coffee this morning, so she was feeling tired now.“I’ll call my sister and ask her how Sonny is.”After the call, she learned that Elisa and her mother had visited Sonny with gifts. However, Serenity knew the main purpose of their visit.“Sis, did Mrs. Stone say anything?”Serenity did not reveal the other matter to her sister.“She didn’t say anything. She just felt heartbroken that Sonny had suffered. Elisa scolded the Reptons family for a good half an hour.”Her sister’s friends and in-laws were more powerful than her own husband and in-laws, which made her even more sad.How blind was she to have married a scumbag like Hank?How dare a father like him compete with her for Sonny’s custody?When the divorce lawsuit went to court, she would provide the photos of Sonny’s injuries from the physical abuse to the judge. She believed that the judge

Zachary went back to their little home with Serenity in his arms.As soon as the door was open, the pet dog rushed over.“Get out of the way!”Zachary gave a hushed roar, and the little thing lay on the ground obediently, not daring to come any closer.It knew that its male owner did not like it very much.Fortunately, he did not abuse it or deprive it of food and water.Ring ring ring...Zachary’s phone rang.He was still carrying Serenity and could not spare a hand to answer the phone.The phone stopped ringing.It should be from Josh. Zachary instructed him to call every ten minutes so he would have an excuse to leave.However, there was no need for that now.Audrey and her daughter had already left Liberty’s house.He carried Serenity back to her room, placed her on the bed, and covered her with the quilt before calling Josh. “You don’t have to call anymore.”“I don’t? I was thinking about whether to spam you.”Zachary’s lips twitched.“Have you eaten? Do you want

Zachary said stubbornly, “No!”“Really?”“Really!”Serenity straightened her back and said with a regretful expression, “I was thinking that if you didn’t want me to leave, I could tell Mrs. Lane to stay at my sister’s house while I accompany you. Since you don’t need it, I’d better go keep my sister company.“The weather is getting colder. It sure feels like winter is approaching. I always feel uncomfortable sleeping alone during this time.” Serenity sighed.Zachary was speechless.‘Is she implying that if I said I didn’t want her to leave, she would hug the pillow and quilt and hog my bed?’Serenity was still carrying a regretful look. She reached out and patted his face twice, before trailing her finger down to his neck, and finally rubbing his chest. When Zachary’s eyes deepened and he stared intently at her, she withdrew her wandering hand.“I’m hungry. Let’s eat. I want to see if the dishes my husband cooked for me are any good.”Serenity was done teasing him and left.

After flirting with each other before and over dinner, Zachary showered Serenity with meticulous care.Serenity was a little overwhelmed by it.At the same time though, she thought, ‘Sure enough, a good husband has to be trained by oneself.‘I hope the husband that I’ve trained won’t be snatched away by others.’The couple went to Liberty’s house together after dinner.Sonny had woken up but refused to play by himself. He stuck to his mother like a piece of gum.Serenity was the only other person he allowed to hold him. He even refused Mrs. Lane to carry him.“Liberty, are you going to work tomorrow?” Serenity asked while she was hugging her nephew.Liberty looked at Sonny and deliberated before saying, “Seren, I want to quit and start my own business.”She was feeling uneasy with the way Sonny was now. However, she had just started her job. It would be easy to lose her job if she took a leave of absence.After a day of consideration, she decided to take her son with her to s

“Seren, you should go to work tomorrow or open your shop. You don’t have to come over. I can take care of Sonny.”Serenity was still worried. “Then I’ll ask Mrs. Lane to stay here.”Mrs. Lane was hired with the priority to take care of Sonny during the day anyway, and cleaning up Zachary’s and her home was secondary.Liberty felt a little embarrassed.Her brother-in-law hired Mrs. Lane because he did not want his wife to be tired, but Mrs. Lane was always helping her instead.“We’re sisters, Liberty. We should support each other.”Serenity did not want her sister to be burdened psychologically. “As long as Sonny and you are doing well, nothing else is more important.”“You pay Mrs. Lane’s salary for now. I’ll pay you back when I’m back on my feet.” Liberty was grateful for her sister’s help, but she could not take it for granted.Zachary said warmly, “Liberty, we’re family. Don’t be such a stranger. Serenity and I have a good income now with no children yet, so we don’t have ma
