Chapter 767
With Duncan’s help, Serenity managed to put all her shopping haul into her car and filled it to the brim. “Thank you, Mr. Lewis.” Serenity expressed her gratitude. Duncan smiled and replied, “I’m not just business partners with Mr. York. We’re friends too, and the close kind. You’re his wife. It’s only natural that I help.” He then turned to Sonny and added, “Sonny doesn’t like me and is scared of me, but I can’t help but draw near and play with him every time.” Duncan found it amusing even though Sonny was scared to tears and burrowed himself in his mother’s embrace. Sonny would think Mr. Lewis was treating him like a pet monkey. “We got to go, Mr. Lewis.” Liberty carried her son into her sister’s car and said goodbye to Duncan. “Bye.” Duncan took strides to his car parked by the side of the road after Serenity started the engine. Once they were gone, Jessica nudged the grimacing man next to her. With Hank scowling, Jessica remarked, “What? Are you angry that a ma

Hank uttered in disdain, “She’s still a fat cow no matter how many pounds she drops. I want to throw up just looking at her.” He put one hand on Jessica’s lap. “You’re the best, Jessica. I love you the most.” Jessica smiled in delight. Liberty had nothing on her! While on the way home with her sister, Serenity had to bring up Duncan to her sister, “Liberty, I think the universe is putting you two together. You’re always running into him. I mean, he was driving by when he saw you and Sonny.” Liberty burst into laughter. “That’s just a coincidence, Seren. Mr. Lewis is fond of Sonny.“Honestly, I have my apprehensions running into Mr. Lewis.” “It’s true that Mr. Lewis takes a shine to Sonny. I was at an Italian place with Jasmine when we met Zachary and Mr. Bucham buying Mr. Lewis dinner. I can’t believe the three of them were in the humble restaurant. We later had dinner together.“Mr. Lewis asked why I hadn’t brought you and Sonny along.” Liberty replied, “Mr. Lewis may

Serenity responded, “When are we going to your family home? I bought gifts for your family. We can go in the afternoon or tomorrow, so the stuff can stay in the car. Otherwise, we’d be moving them up and down.” After much thought, Zachary said, “We’ll go tomorrow morning. I feel a bit tired since I just got back today. I should get some rest.” The couple had been apart for three days, and he missed her so. He wanted to spend some alone time with Serenity before heading to the old residence. “I’ll leave the stuff in the car then.” “Alright.” Zachary had no issue with that, but he still reiterated, “Text me when you reach the neighborhood.” “Got it.” Serenity then asked, “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up now. I’m driving.” Zachary would see her soon since Serenity was on her way home. Hence, he said, “Alright. Drive safe.” “Sure.” Serenity then disconnected the call. “Liberty, Zachary proposed to leave for his family house tomorrow. You and Sonny should come

“She’s driving. Do you have something to say to Seren, Aunt Audrey? I’ll put her on.” Liberty was about to hand the phone to her sister when Mrs. Stone uttered, “It’s okay. Tell Seren to drive safely. Tell her not to put up with any mistreatments while she’s at her in-laws. It doesn’t matter who they are. You’re my nieces. You deserve only the best.” Having found out her nephew-in-law was Zachary, Mrs. Stone did not know how she felt about it in the last few days. She mentioned it to her son, and her son had known about it too. However, he wanted to keep it from Elisa. Mrs. Stone did not want her daughter to know that Zachary’s mysterious wife was Serenity either. Everybody was dying to find out who the missus of the York family was, not knowing that she was right under their nose. Some even got on well with the missus of the Yorks. Jasmine, for example, was into the hottest gossip about Mr. York. She was curious about who had won his heart and even wanted to know how his m

Besides the Hunt sisters and Sonny, Mrs. Stone also prepared a gift for Zachary.Although it was not possible for him to become her son-in-law, her niece’s husband was still her in-law, so she was feeling a little more generous and prepared a gift for Zachary too.“Mom.”Elisa came down the stairs, dragging her luggage behind her.Mrs. Stone hurriedly signaled for the butler to get out.She stood up, walked towards her daughter, and said with a smile, “Why’d you take so long to pack?”“I had to make sure I packed everything I needed to bring, you know. Where’s Clive and the rest?”“They haven’t come down yet.”Elisa lifted her luggage and descended the final few steps of the stairs. Mrs. Stone took a few steps forward, wanting to help her bring it down, but Elisa would not let her.“Mom, what did you ask the butler to do just now?”“I prepared some gifts for Liberty and her sister and wanted him to help send them over.”Elisa hummed in acknowledgment, then said, “Liberty did

Her sister was right there, and so was Jim.His romantic gesture made her a little… embarrassed.The moment he carried her, Serenity got a whiff of that familiar scent on his body and could not resist touching his face.Yeah, that still felt really good.Zachary was speechless.She said she did not want his thoughtfulness, but when he hugged her, she took the opportunity to take advantage of him.Wait till night fell and she—Zachary hurriedly stopped himself and halted that train of thought, lest he could not help himself.After placing Serenity on the ground, Zachary went to carry Sonny from the car.“Uncle Zak,” said Sonny in his childish voice. As Zachary reached out to hug the little guy, he jumped straight toward Zachary. Zachary reacted quickly and caught him easily before raising him high into the air.Sonny burst into laughter.After teasing Sonny a little more, Zachary put Sonny down and stopped playing with him. He asked, “Sonny, did you miss Uncle Zak?”Sonny no

Jim had only walked for a few minutes before he received a call from Zachary.“Jim, come back. We need your help again to move stuff. This time, the things have to be moved to the eighth floor. There are quite a few things too, so the moving fee… Seren, how much should we give Jim?”Zachary pulled the phone away as he asked Serenity.Serenity looked at all the gifts her aunt had sent over. It was too much, even if half of them were her sister’s. It would take some time for Jim to move all of them alone, so she said, “Ask Jim to come back first. He can take a look and name a price.”After dealing with him a few times, she felt she was now pretty familiar with Jim. It would be embarrassing if she gave him too little for the moving fee, but it would be a loss to give him too much as well, so she simply decided to get Jim to name a fee.Jim looked like an honest and trustworthy person and did not seem like he would charge an astronomical amount.“Alright. Jim, just come over first.”

Zachary finished preparing dinner after two hours.Looking at the table full of Serenity’s favorite food he had personally cooked, in a rare bout of whimsy, Zachary dug his phone out to take a photo of it and posted it on his social media.Ever since his last post, his social media had once again gone on a long hiatus.The moment the photo was posted, his friends and important clients not only speedily clicked like, they even left comments.“Mr. York, can I still make it in time if I come over now?”“Mr. York, I’m only just realizing that you’re actually really good at cooking.”“Mr. York, hurry and send some over—I’ll help you finish it.”“Mrs. York really is blessed. I’m so jealous! I slaved for you for so many years but I’ve never tasted a single bite of your cooking before.” This was a comment left by Josh.After Zachary finished posting the photo to his social media, he put his phone back into his pocket and did not see his friends’ likes and comments.He returned to the
