Chapter 324
Serenity understood why her mother–in–law pretended not to know her and did not take it to heart.
After walking back to her parking spot, she unlocked the car and placed the clothes she bought for
Zachary on the passenger seat before driving away.
A short while later, she arrived at Brynfield. Zachary had yet to return, so she fiddled with her small
garden on the balcony.
The roses were blooming in overabundance, so she took a pair of scissors to cut a few off. However,
she was reluctant to throw them away, so she took them back to the hall to trim them and arranged
them into a vase.
Ring ring ring…
Her cell phone rang.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe answered and it was from her neighbor at the store. It was inconvenient to take the pets with her
since she was going to shop for Zachary’s clothes, so she asked the neighbor to look after the pets for
her.
“Mr. Charles, I’m so sorry. I completely forgot. I’ll go over and pick them up now.”
Serenity would have forgotten about the pets if she had not received the call.
Well, she was too busy and had just started having pets. She had not gotten used to it, so she forgot
about the dog and two cats.
“I’ve brought the pets to the entrance of your neighborhood for you. You can just come out and fetch
them from here.
“I figured you forgot about them since you didn’t come back to pick them up after so long. I had nothing
to do anyway, so I brought them to you,” said Mr. Charles.
Charles was the neighbor who thought he was good at reading faces after reading a few books on the
subject. He thought Serenity had a face that spoke of wealth, and she was someone who would go
through hardships before attaining a smooth life. In the future, she would no longer be in the same
circle as them.

Since his wife and him took over a small store in front of Wiltspoon School, he had never had a
problem with Serenity and the others. In his eyes, Jasmine was also destined for a life of riches.
Of course, with the Sox family’s current fortune, Jasmine was already considered rich.
“I’ll be right out.”
Serenity was grateful and embarrassed.
After hastily replying to him, she quickly hung up the phone and went outside.
Bam.
It was only after closing the door that she realized something. In her haste to pick up her pets, she

‘Oh no, I won’t be able to get into the house later.‘
She hurriedly looked at the time. ‘It’s already nine o’clock. I’ll call Zachary later and ask what time he
finishes work. If he’s working until late at night, I’ll take a cab with the pets and get the keys from him.‘
Serenity quickly ran to the entrance of the neighborhood and saw Charles holding her pet dog and
carrying the cat carrier.
“Mr. Charles.”
She walked over and smiled in embarrassment. ” I’m so sorry, Mr. Charles. I forgot about them and
troubled you to come all the way here.”
Charles smiled and handed the leash and cat carrier over to her. “It’s fine. I had nothing to do anyway,
so no harm done.”
“Thank you, Mr. Charles.”
“You’re welcome. Well, I’ll go back now.” Charles did not want to stay long.
