Chapter 424
By the time Zachary woke up, Serenity was gone. Looking rather upset, he mumbled to himself, “You
slipped away and didn‘t even wait for me to wake up after sleeping with me.”
Serenity would be telling Zachary to watch his mouth if she was here. Sure, she slept with him but only
in the same bed minus the hanky–panky.
Zachary would be rendered speechless.
He walked out of his room to find the three ladies missing. Only the pets were around,
Needless to say, the women must be getting groceries at the market.
Zachary sat down on the swing on the balcony.
He relived the beautiful moment of sharing a bed with his wife.
In short, Zachary was not used to it, but he did look forward to doing it again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt did not take long before Serenity and the other ladies returned.
Apart from groceries, Serenity also bought bed linens. Since the furniture shops were not open this
early, she had not gotten a bed frame picked out. She was going to head back out later to get a new
bed to set up before she could get to work.
Oh, she was off work today. Zachary took leave from work too. He wanted to take her and Grandma
May to some resort for a change of scenery. It should make Grandma May happy.
Picking up on chatter, Zachary came out of the balcony and saw his dear wife carrying shopping bags
of bedding. Although his eyes darkened, Zachary made no comment.
“You‘re home, Zack. I thought you went to work.”
Grandma May then gave his grandson an exasperated look.
It was a waste of her great performance. Zack missed out on a golden opportunity.
The b*stard just did not get it.
“Nana, I took the day off today. We‘ll pick Sonny up at Bright Boulevard after breakfast. I‘m taking you
all to a resort in the west suburb for a stroll and fresh air.”
Paying no heed to Nana‘s glare, Zachary drew close and explained the reason for his presence at
home.
He went over to help Serenity with the stuff. The couple carried the bed linens into the empty guest
room together.
Hearing his words, Grandma May asked, “For how long?” “Just a day.”
“It‘s a resort, so one day isn‘t enough to have fun. Since you took a day off today and tomorrow‘s the
weekend, we can have a nice three–day vacation at the resort.”
Zachary looked at Serenity before replying in a steady voice, “Liberty is getting on with the divorce with
Hank tomorrow. As her family members, we must be there for her. We can‘t let the Browns gain an
upper hand and pick on Liberty.”
Serenity gave him a grateful look.
Grandma May was delighted that her grandson was catching on to this game of love.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZachary called Liberty his family and spoke in a considerate and warm manner. Serenity was staring at
him with heart–shaped eyes. Not bad. Grandma May could expect a great–granddaughter if Zachary
kept up with his act.
“You have a point. We should all go, so there‘s strength in numbers. We can fight and argue with them.
The Browns are nothing to be scared of.”
“Sure.” Zachary was not against Nana tagging along. Nana was pretty bad*ss during her younger days.
Although she was old now and could not fight like she used to, Zachary believed that no one could win
an argument with Nana.
Liberty‘s mother–in–law and sister–in–law were off the wall. The only way to win them over in a quarrel
was to get an elder like Nana to come forward.
“Seren, you should remind your sister to keep an eye out in case Hank moves his wealth and income
away. Your sister knows that, right? Look into the account books and check whether the numbers tally.
Don‘t give away the money to the other woman.” The old and experienced knew best. Grandma May
had it more thought out than the youngsters. “These scums tend to transfer their assets to their family. I
have an old friend whose grandchildren are working in a bank. Just say the word and I‘ll call in a favor
to check if Hank moved his wealth to any of his family members.”
