“I’m fine. I’ll get going. My son is still waiting for me at home.”
“Stay strong, girl! There’s a rainbow after the rain. You can do this!”
The stranger’s comfort warmed Liberty’s heart.
There were still many good people in this world.
After thanking the café owner, Liberty walked to her e–bike and was about to leave.
“Liberty.”
A hoarse and somewhat familiar voice called out to her.
Liberty looked around and saw a car parked on the opposite side of the street. The person inside the car wound down the window. Only then did Liberty notice that it was Duncan.
She thought, ‘Huh? Why did I bump into him?‘
Liberty felt that she was a little unlucky today.
Wait, she did not hit his car this time, so why did she think that she was unlucky?
Liberty, who came to her senses, suppressed the urge to ride away and she waved to Duncan in response to his greeting.
Somehow, Duncan got out of the car and strode across the street.
Liberty was speechless and thought, ‘I didn’t hit his car, right?
‘I parked on this side, and his car is across the street. Did time and space collide?‘
Duncan quickly walked in front of Liberty and put one hand on Liberty’s bike. She glanced at his big hand and thought, ‘Is he trying to prevent me from running away?‘
“Didn’t you take the day off to take care of your son?” Duncan asked.
Liberty nodded and answered, “I took a few days off. Sonny was frightened, so I wanted to stay with him.” “Then what are you doing here? Where’s your son?”
Liberty was speechless.
Should she tell the truth?
Duncan looked around, but he did not see the strong and smart little boy.
However, the boy was afraid of him. Every time he saw Duncan, he was so afraid that he would burrow into Liberty’s arms as if Duncan was the devil.
“Sonny is taking a nap at home. Mrs. Lane is watching him, so I came out to run some errands.”
Duncan hummed and asked, “What kind of errands?”
When Liberty hesitated to speak, he laughed and said, “If you can’t tell me, then forget it. I was just being nosy because I happened to see you passing by and remembered that you took leave.
“Well, carry on with your business. I’ll leave now.”
Duncan retracted the large hand that was on Liberty’s bike, turned around, and left.
“Take care, Mr. Lewis,” said Liberty.
Duncan did not look back but raised his hand in goodbye.
The two went their separate ways.
In the hotel, Serenity spent a long time talking with Audrey and Elisa. Both the mother and daughter only left when Darrell called them.
Serenity sent them off at the entrance of the hotel before she turned and walked toward her own car. However, when she turned around, she saw a group of people coming out of the hotel. Amongst the group were two people she recognized. It was Zachary and her brother-in-law, Callum. She seemed to have seen the other one before, but his appearance did not ring any bells. The last time she saw him was when he was with Zachary at Beans and Cream. They should be here to socialize with clients since there were several people that Serenity had never seen before.
Following them were several tall men in black. Were they bodyguards, or were they also employees of York Corporation? Zachary did not see his wife at first but his bodyguards did.
They were responsible for clearing the way for him, so they habitually scanned the surroundings to see if there were any suspicious people around as soon as they came out. Then, they saw the missus standing not far away, looking straight at Zachary.
The group of bodyguards instantly felt their souls leave their bodies. 1 All of them unanimously thought of two words, ‘Oh no!’ Missus was looking right at them. Zachary’s identity was going to be exposed.
“Mr. Zachary, it’s Missus.”
The person who reacted the quickest was Jim. He quickly notified Zachary and turned around to go back into the hotel. He had to hide. Missus remembered his appearance.”
In her eyes, he was just a substitute driver. If he followed Zachary, she would discover that he was lying Zachary, Callum, and Josh heard what Jim said while their clients could not hear it clearly. The moment Callum saw his sister-in-law, he cursed in his heart, ‘Zachary said we wouldn’t bump into her, but we ended up bumping into her! ‘We really can’t speak in absolutes. ‘Otherwise, we’ll end up jinxing ourselves.’
Josh stopped in his tracks and deliberately let Zachary walk in front. He pulled away a little, afraid that he would get swept up by the storm. Zachary was the calmest of them all. That was because Audrey and Elisa were not around.
He could still act.
“Josh and Callum, you two accompany the clients back to the company. I’ll go over and talk to Serenity.” Zachary instructed the two in a low voice then walked toward Serenity in large strides.
The bodyguards naturally did not dare follow him.
“Did Mr. York see someone he knows?”
The few clients watched in amazement as they saw Zachary walk toward an unfamiliar woman.
After all, unless it was family, he usually kept women at least three meters away from him.
“Yeah, they’re acquaintances.”
Josh smiled and ushered the clients toward their cars.
Seeing that Josh did not plan to elaborate, they knew their place and stopped asking
“Seren.”
Zachary walked up to Serenity and stretched out his arms to straighten her jacket. “What are you doing here? Did you come here just to wait for me because you knew I was meeting clients for business here?”
The rain stopped at noon but it was still cold.
Serenity saw the throng of men in suits getting in their luxury cars and driving away. She asked with a smile, “Are those your colleagues?
“I invited Mrs. Stone and Elisa to have a meal here. I didn’t expect to bump into you.”
Zachary looked at the luxury cars that were driving away and said, “Yeah, they’re my colleagues. Several clients we met today were notable bosses from other companies, and our company attached great importance to them, so many of my colleagues came to meet them today. “Where’s Mrs. Stone?”
“Mr. Stone called her, and she left with Elisa. Zachary, I did a DNA test with Mrs. Stone. The results will be out in a few days.”
