He had no idea if there was an end to the argument, but at least they were talking. He was staying at Brynfield now, but he had not added Serenity‘s contact. Maybe she was still angry.
Zachary got to figure out a way for her to get over the argument.
She might appear as if she did not care, but he could sense the change in her attitude toward her. She kept her distance from him.
It meant that she was still mad about it.
What did Serenity like?
She loved to eat. Maybe he should deliver her a bag of her favorite snacks.
Oh, that was right. Serenity mentioned that the house was too big for just the two of them. It was too quiet at home. She had asked if she could get dogs and cats as pets, but he shot her request down.
He had pets.
Nevertheless, Zachary did not have to take care of them. There was someone looking after his dogs and cats. All he had to do was say the word and someone would deliver the pet to him to play with.
He had no maids or part–time housekeepers at Brynfield as he was living undercover there. Serenity and Zachary would have to tend to the pets themselves if they were to take on pet ownership.
Serenity could take care of the pets since she was the one who wanted them. Zachary should just fulfill her wish.
With that in mind, Zachary decided to ask Sam to get an adorable dog and two cats.
“What‘s on your mind?” Josh nosily asked Zachary. Snapping out of his thoughts, Zachary replied faintly, “Not you, for sure.”
Josh chuckled. “I‘d have to quit if you‘re thinking about me. I want to get married and have children.”
Zachary glared at him. “I should get back to work. You‘ve been overly efficient at work lately. I‘m tired trying to keep up with you.”
Josh finished his glass of water and got up. “I‘m glad that‘s finally over.”
The employees had had it rough at work because Zachary was jealous, thinking something was going on between Serenity and Shawn. It would only be worse for them if the couple had an even bigger argument one day. With that in mind, Josh prayed that the couple would always remain lovey–dovey.
Well, they might not be in love now, but it was only a matter of time.
Zachary had developed feelings for Serenity, but he was stubborn and refused to admit to it. As his feelings for her grew deeper, he would lay bare his heart to Serenity without anyone pointing it out to him.
As for the six–month agreement… Hehe. Josh shall wait for the day his best–friend–cum–boss rip the contract apart.
With Josh gone, Zachary immediately phoned Sam to get a dog and two cats to have them delivered to Brynfield. Zachary was going to send Jim there to receive the animals. Jim would bring the pets over once Zachary got off work so the latter could then surprise his wife with the adorable pets.
No matter what, he must get his wife‘s number back on his phone.
Leaving her son to her sister at the shop, Liberty set off to look for a job.
Today, she was going to accept whatever job she was offered.
“Liberty, take my e–bike. You won‘t have to walk a lot.”
Grabbing her car keys, Jasmine went after Liberty. She wanted Liberty to ride her e–bike in her quest to find work.
Jasmine stayed near the shop anyway. It would not take her long to travel home by foot, so it was no big deal for Liberty to have the keys to her ride. “It’s fine. I should walk more. It‘ll help with my weight loss.”
Liberty turned down Jasmine‘s kind offer.
She had made up her mind to shed the pounds. Liberty had always assumed that she put on between thirty to forty pounds. It had been a long time since she stepped onto a scale, and now she found out that she was over fifty pounds heavier than before she got married! That was a huge shock!
Liberty did not believe her sister when the latter said she
weighed two hundred pounds in. Serenity was pretty accurate with her numbers.
She wanted to cover her face in shame.
Jasmine smiled without saying any more.
Serenity carried her nephew out and gave her sister a few words of advice before seeing her sister off. Serenity mumbled under her breath, “You can do it, Liberty!”
“Don‘t worry. If Liberty doesn‘t find a job in the next two days, I‘ll tell my parents to hire her to collect rent.”
Serenity replied, “O Great Property Mogul, please take me under your wing.”
“Those are my parents‘ properties, not mine. We‘re two birds of a feather. Hang on. You should take me under your wing. You‘re on a double income, and you have a husband. I only have one source of income to feed myself and leave my family just enough so they don‘t starve.”
Serenity was amused by her best friend. The pair turned on their heels and went back into the shop.
Several cars drove along and quickly pulled up in front of Serenity‘s bookshop. Serenity and Jasmine, who had just entered the shop, looked at the fleet of cars. Serenity‘s face fell when her keen eye caught the cars belonging to her cousins. These people were relentless.
With Mike leading the younger pack, they walked into the
shop.
They came bearing two baskets of fruits each. “Serenity.”
With a smile on his face, Mike put his baskets of fruits on the cash register and said to Serenity, “I bought you and your sister some fresh fruits.”
Spotting Sonny, he asked, “Is this your sister‘s son? He looks like your sister.”
He then reached out to stroke Sonny‘s head, but Sonny shied away, refusing to let the man touch him. Mike responded with a grin, “Don‘t be scared, little guy. I‘m your uncle.”
The rest wanted to place the other fruit baskets on the cash register but since there was no more room on the counter, they placed them on the floor instead. Serenity asked faintly, “What brings you here? I‘d advise you to give up if you‘re trying to make me pay.”
“Aren‘t you going to invite us to have a seat, Serenity?”
