Serenity said, “Don‘t worry about that now, Liberty. You have to research the market first. If there’s really no stalls, we can get a store front instead. If you don‘t have enough capital, I‘ll lend it to you. Hire someone else to help you. You still need to take care of Sonny, so don‘t tire yourself out.”
“Yeah. I’ll take tomorrow off. Let’s wait until Sonny gets better.”
If the company was understanding about her taking time off despite just working for a few days, she would continue working for a while.
However, if the company could not be understanding, then she would have to resign.
“I want to talk to Hank again about the divorce. If I was given a choice, I‘d rather talk it out with him as I don‘t want to live with him for a moment longer, and going through the divorce lawsuit”
“If the talk doesn‘t work out, then I‘ll still file for divorce.”
Serenity exchanged looks with her husband and nodded. “You talk to Hank again. It‘s best if you two can come to an agreement regarding the divorce. It‘ll be quicker too. Don‘t show him the evidence of his extra income, but you can scare him a little.
“Also, you can go find Jessica and talk to her to let her pressure Hank He might be willing to take a step back in order to keep his job and marry her as soon as possible.”
Liberty thought about it and felt that her sister had a point.
“If you‘re not free, I‘ll ask Jessica out for you and talk to her.”
“No need, I‘ll talk to her myself. I‘ll take the next two days off to care for Sonny at home. I‘ll ask Jessica out tomorrow at noon.” Since Liberty did not need her help, Serenity did not insist.
“Seren, you should go to work tomorrow or open your shop. You don’t have to come over. I can take care of Sonny.”
Serenity was still worried. “Then I‘ll ask Mrs. Lane to stay here.”
Mrs. Lane was hired with the priority to take care of Sonny during the day anyway, and cleaning up Zachary‘s and her home was secondary.
Liberty felt a little embarrassed.
Her brother–in-law hired Mrs. Lane because he did not want his wife to be tired, but Mrs. Lane was always helping her instead.
“We‘re sisters, Liberty. We should support each other.”
Serenity did not want her sister to be burdened psychologically. “As long as Sonny and you are doing well, nothing else is more important.”
“You pay Mrs. Lane‘s salary for now. I‘ll pay you back when I‘m back on my feet.” Liberty was grateful for her sister‘s help, but she could not take it for granted.
Zachary said warmly, “Liberty, we‘re family. Don‘t be such a stranger. Serenity and I have a good income now with no children yet, so we don‘t have many commitments in our lives. You don‘t have to worry abc it Mrs. Lane‘s salary. We won‘t treat her poorly.”
Liberty was growing more pleased with her brother–in–law.
Her sister was a little luckier than she was,
Zachary was a responsible man.
At nine in the evening, the young couple left Bright Boulevard.
Grandma May was already sitting in the hall, watching TV. She was immediately overjoyed when she saw the couple walking in while holding hands.
Zachary felt a little unnatural, but Serenity had a calm face.
They were husband and wife. What was strange about holding hands?
“Where did you go, Nana? I didn‘t see you in the afternoon.”
Serenity only let go of Zachary‘s hand after walking up to the old lady, taking a seat beside her.
“I met up with my friends for a chat. Have you just returned from your sister‘s place? Is Sonny better?”
Serenity nodded. “He‘s much better. I told Mrs. Lane to stay there and help my sister take care of Sonny together.”
“That’s good. By the way, you mentioned that Mrs. Stone‘s sister and Sonny look alike… Mrs. Stone went to your sister‘s house and saw Sonny. Did she say anything about it?”
Grandma May was more interested in knowing if Serenity‘s deceased mother was the long lost sister whom Audrey had been looking for for decades.
“Mrs. Stone didn‘t say anything when she went to my sister‘s place. She just turned really pale and scared Elisa, so the latter quickly took her home. I think… maybe my mom was the sister she has been looking for.”
Audrey was pale because she had difficulty accepting the reality that her sister had been dead for fifteen years.
She spent decades looking for her only sister, but when she finally found a lead, she was told that her sister passed away fifteen years ago. No one would be able to accept that.
“The decision lies in Mrs. Stone‘s hand now. My sister and I can‘t do anything.” Serenity‘s mood became depressed while discussing this.
Grandma May nodded. “Mrs. Stone should take some time to accept the fact that her sister might have passed away. She‘ll definitely come to you two and offer to do a DNA test in a few days.”
She patted Serenity‘s hind and said comfortingly, “Seren, no matter what the result is, we‘ll accept it calmly. If your mother really is Mrs. Stone‘s sister, although she can‘t reconnect with her sister anymore, at least she still has relatives looking for her and thinking about her. She can then rest in peace.”
Serenity desperately blinked away the tears welling up in her eyes.
She thought, ‘If Mom and Mrs. Stone really were sisters, and if they met earlier, maybe Mom wouldn‘t have died in that accident.’ It was the living who were left behind to lament.
After comforting Serenity, Grandma May yawned gracefully. She put down the TV remote control, got up, and said to the young couple, “I‘ll head in to rest up. I‘m old and can‘t stay up late.”
She took a few steps and stopped before turning around to ask Serenity, “Seren, should I bring your pillow out?”
Serenity smiled and said, “No need. There are pillows in the guest room for me.”
Grandma May glanced at her grandson twice, but did not say anything. She proceeded into Serenity‘s room.
By the time Serenity went in to take a shower, the old lady was already snoring loudly.
Serenity was speechless.
Ten minutes later.
She came out of the room in her pajamas. Just after closing the door, she saw her man in his robe, leaning against the door of his room with his arms across his chest.
“Not sleeping yet? You have to work tomorrow.”
Serenity casually said to him, pretending to not remember teasing him earlier. She walked past him toward the guest room.
However, when she pushed open the door to the guest room, she was dumbfounded.
The bedsheet was gone.
The quilt was gone.
The pillow was also gone.
She had clearly bought a set of bedding products. Where did they go?
Were they stolen?
That did not seem right, a thief would not just steal bedding.
She turned her head to look at the proud man who was still standing against the door. He must have taken advantage of the time she was in the shower to take away all the bedding in the guest room.
