Although she failed to pull Audrey over to become an elite of York Corporation, it did not stop
the old woman from appreciating Audrey.
Since Audrey had gone to Bright Boulevard, Grandma May could not go since the former would recognize her.
It was all that brat, Zachary’s fault that the whole family had to play along with his act.
Grandma May was actually in denial of her feelings of schadenfreude.
Serenity stayed up the whole last night and only drank a cup of coffee this morning, so she was feeling tired now.
“I’ll call my sister and ask her how Sonny is.”
After the call, she learned that Elisa and her mother had visited Sonny with gifts. However, Serenity knew the main purpose of their visit.
“Sis, did Mrs. Stone say anything?”
Serenity did not reveal the other matter to her sister.
“She didn’t say anything. She just felt heartbroken that Sonny had suffered. Elisa scolded the Reptons family for a good half an hour.”
Her sister’s friends and in–laws were more powerful than her own husband and in–laws, which made her even more sad.
How blind was she to have married a scumbag like Hank?
How dare a father like him compete with her for Sonny’s custody?
When the divorce lawsuit went to court, she would provide the photos of Sonny’s injuries from the physical abuse to the judge. She believed that the judge would give Sonny’s custody to her for the child’s sake.
“Mrs. Stone… seemed unwell. Her face was horribly pale. They didn’t stay long before Ms. Stone quickly took her mother away.”
The only thing that Liberty noticed was off about Audrey was that the latter’s face grew paler by the minute, which startled her.
Elisa was also shocked and quickly left with her mother.
After listening to Liberty, Serenity was silent for a moment before saying, “Liberty, our mom might be the sister who Mrs. Stone has been searching for for decades.”
Cough cough
–
The old lady in the back seat coughed violently when she heard what Serenity had just uttered.
Serenity turned her head and asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Nana? Is the AC too cold?”
“Yes, it’s too dry, so it’s easy to get a cough.”
Grandma May did not dare say that she was startled by the new information.
Zachary drove calmly and casually turned off the air–conditioner.
When he first learned that his mother-in-law whom he had never met could turn out to be
Audrey‘s sister, he was frightened too. Seeing his nana spooked now, he felt slightly better himself.
Liberty was silent.
“I‘ll talk to you about this when I get back. How‘s Sonny?”
“He woke up once, and I gave him some milk, but he only drank half of it. He fell back asleep as I held him.”
“Did he get another fever?”
“Not now.”
Serenity was relieved.
“Seren, you were up all night too. Sonny is fine now, so go back and get some sleep.”
Liberty‘s heart not only ached for her son, but also her sister.
Her head was also hurting after staying up all night.
“Okay. Call Mrs. Lane if you need any help. I‘ll go over in the evening.”
The sisters were not in a hurry to verify whether their mother was Audrey‘s sister. That decision was in Audrey‘s hands.
Serenity, who was reassured, fell asleep before they reached Brynfield.
As Zachary parked the car when they arrived, Grandma May said, “You carry Serenity upstairs. I‘ll go for a stroll.”
She wanted to let her grandson and Serenity be alone.
Zachary hummed in response and carried Serenity who was still sleeping out of the car.
His grandmother was someone who could not stay still in one place. Since she had legs, she could go wherever she wanted.
“Hurry up, Zack.”
She called out to her grandson meaningfully.
Zachary’s face tensed, but he remained silent and carried Serenity inside
As he went in, the old woman muttered, “I‘d like to see how you clean up your mess. Hah, even you won‘t be able to solve this easily. It‘s your fault for acting proud and lying to your wife!”
Zachary was speechless.
‘Is she really my grandmother?‘
Zachary went back to their little home with Serenity in his arms.
As soon as the door was open, the pet dog rushed over.
“Get out of the way!”
Zachary gave a hushed roar, and the little thing lay on the ground obediently, not daring to come any closer.
It knew that its male owner did not like it very much.
Fortunately, he did not abuse it or deprive it of food and water.
Ring ring ring.
Zachary‘s phone rang.
He was still carrying Serenity and could not spare a hand to answer the phone.
The phone stopped ringing.
It should be from Josh. Zachary instructed him to call every ten minutes so he would have an excuse to leave.
However, there was no need for that now.
Audrey and her daughter had already left Liberty‘s house.
He carried Serenity back to her room, placed her on the bed, and covered her with the quilt before calling Josh.
“You don‘t have to call anymore.”
“I don‘t? I was thinking about whether to spam you.”
Zachary‘s lips twitched.
“Have you eaten? Do you want to eat together?”
“No. Why aren‘t you asking Ms. Sox instead?”
“Wouldn‘t it be humiliating if she rejected me? We exchanged numbers after we met, but she didn‘t take the initiative to contact me. I don‘t know what she thinks of me.”
Zachary paused before saying, “I can understand now why my nana feels disappointed in me.”
Josh was stumped, but he managed to ask, “So… Should I ask her out for a meal now?”
“It‘s up to you. Anyway, you have to be thick–skinned when chasing your wife.”
“Looks like you‘re pretty thick–skinned now.”
Zachary touched his face. “I haven‘t measured, so I don‘t know how thick it is.”
Tosh burst into laughter. “Serenity is definitely the woman I admire most in the world. There’s no one like her!”
“Get lost!”
Zachary snapped at him and hung up the phone.
He sat down at the edge of Serenity‘s bed, quietly looking at her sleeping face. The lines on her face had loosened up. He leaned down, pressed a kiss on her cheek, and whispered softly in her ear, “I admire you too, Serenity. You took half my soul away so easily.”
He gently touched her face again. The tenderness in his eyes was undisguised.
After lingering for a good long while, he finally left her room.
Serenity slept until the evening and only woke up from hunger.
When she opened her eyes to see the familiar environment, she knew that she had fallen asleep in the car and was carried back by Zachary.
Where was he?
The door was suddenly pushed open.
Zachary came in wearing a floral apron. It seemed like he had just been busy in the kitchen.
“You‘re awake?”
He walked over and asked in a warm voice. His eyes when he looked at her seemed to be able to steal her heart and soul.
How could she have thought that his eyes were sharp and cold in the past?
“What time is it now?”
“Six in the evening.”
“I slept that long?” She rubbed her stomach. “No wonder I feel hungry.”
