Chapter 35 The ever-friendly Rowan had a blast chatting with Serenity
After witnessing Serenity working Zachary like a mule, the boy was on Team Serenity now. Rowan
believed he could hide behind Serenity for anything!
Liberty and Hank, together with their son, Sonny, arrived a little later than the York’s
Since Serenity’s husband knew the car owner whose luxury sedan was scratched by Liberty, the
damages only came to nine thousand bucks. Hank
did not dare to make light of his new brother-in-law.
Hank did not take the meeting seriously at first but had since adopted a different attitude. After meeting
with Zachary, Hank was in awe of his brothering-law as Zachary commanded the room with his revered
presence, more so than his boss could.
“Mr. York.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll smiles, Hank extended his right hand to Zachary,“ Hello, I’m Serenity’s brother-in-law.” | Zachary
shook hands with Hank and faintly uttered,“ Hello, Hank.” He then extended his greetings to Liberty.
Liberty’s first impression of Zachary was that he looked well-presented. Although Zachary appeared
rather imposing in the photograph and aloof in person, Liberty was pleased with Serenity’s husband.
“Sonny, say Uncle.” Liberty taught her son to address Zachary.
Sonny was an adorable little guy and had his mother’s dark and bright eyes. It was hard not to be drawn
to his curious eyes. Zachary had to ask, “Can I hold him?” Liberty answered in delight, “Sure.” She
handed her son to Serenity, so Serenity passed the little man to Zachary.
Zachary was impressed by Liberty’s thoughtful action as the latter carried herself with decorum. Liberty
first had Serenity hold Sonny for Zachary to receive the boy from Serenity to avoid more than necessary
physical contact with her new brothering-law during the handoff.
As lawfully wedded husband and wife, Zachary and Serenity were not bound by the same society’s norm
on physical contact. Zachary carried Sonny upstairs.
Despite his limited vocabulary, the little man learned the new word right away. Kids, including Rowan,
were afraid of and stayed away from Zachary. Hence why Rowan was so eager for Serenity to take him
under her wing.
However, Zachary did not scare Sonny. Settling in Zachary’s arms, Sonny called him Uncle. The
newlyweds welcomed the family of three into the house and introduced the York’s to them.
Knowing that the sisters lost their parents young and got through life and college with their parents’
insurance , the York’s had nothing but respect and admiration for Liberty.
Although Liberty was a homemaker and out of touch with society, she was acquainted with the world of
professionals before marriage. She could tell the York’s were cultured and closely knit unlike most
families from rural areas.
Grandma May mentioned that the York’s were from the countryside. However, her children and

city, but the old lady would have long trips back to their hometown.
The York’s’ estate was on the outskirts, away from the bustling city. The family owned farmland by the
estate, so Grandma May’s story about living in the
rural area added up. The only thing was Grandma May must be growing money trees instead of fresh
produce.
With her sister’s family here, Serenity could get a start on lunch. To her surprise, Zachary came to the
kitchen to help out. “I can handle it, Mr. York. Why don’t you keep our guests company?” Zachary replied
faintly, “My family feels right at home. They’ll do fine without me.”
“You can chat with my brother-in-law.” A chill flashed in Zachary’s eyes faster than anyone could catch it.
Still, he remained distant and responded, “I have nothing in common to talk about with Hank.” Hank was
a load of trash who could not stop buttering up to Zachary.
Hank was probably not all talk since he was a manager of a reputable company after all.
