“Are you going to take the call?” Zachary asked as he caught his wife staring at her phone when he entered the car afterloading the shopping bags in.
“It might be my money-hungry relatives.” “You’ll know who it is when you pick up the call.
You can’t run forever.
Don’t fear them.
You got me.” With him around, he would have her back no matter what.
Serenity was embraced by warm tingles when Zachary said he got her.
The guy might have many flaws, but similarly, she was not perfect either.
Zachary had gone above and beyond for her even though they got into the marriage knowing nothing about each other.
That scored Zachary another brownie point in Serenity’s books.
Serenity accepted the call from the unidentified number.
“Serenity, it’s me.
Granddad.” A slightly unfamiliar voice resounded with command over the phone.
Despite losing contact with the family back in hometown, Serenity identified the voice to be Granddad’s.
Serenity hummed a response, waiting for Granddad to go on.
“Mike called you in the afternoon to tell you that your Grandmom is sick and needs to be admitted into a hospital in the city.
You were supposed to make an appointment with a specialist , but you didn’t We came this far only to betold to redo the examination before Grandmom could be admitted since we didn’t have an appointment.
“Where are you and your sister staying? We couldn’t find you at your last address.
The people staying there said you moved away a long time ago.
Couldn’t you let your family know beforehand? Do you have any respect for your family? “A lot of people have come along on this trip, so wedon’t have a place to stay.
Hurry up and text us your current address.
We need accommodation for two days.
Get cooking now.
We haven’t had dinner.
You could also wire me cash if you think we might be a bother in your house.
We can stay at the hotel.” Serenity saw a rush of blood to her head.
Refusing to let his words get the better of her, Serenity asked with a flat voice,“How did you get here? By bus or on your own?” “Your cousins took us in their cars.
Speaking of which, don’t forget to pay for your cousin’s gas.
The trip cost a lot.” “Oh, so your precious children and grandchildren aretalking about, Serenity? Just because you and your sister have it good in the city, it doesn’t give you the right to say that about your family.
penniless and strapped for cash?” “What are you
Well, excuse me.
You must be fairly disappointed because your cousins are successful in their careers.
Your cousin, John, has an annual income of a million…” Serenity cut Granddad off with a tap on the screen.
She knew Granddad had a big mouth.
The latter would brag about every tiny achievement of his children and grandchildren so the world would knowhow great his offspring was.
It stroked his ego, that was for sure.
Despite having successful children and grandchildren like John who made a million a year, Granddad hadthe nerve to get Serenity to pay for the hotel and gas.
Did they take her for a pushover? Granddad’s eyes widened as he was interrupted from blowing hishorn, and rage quickly took over.
Stopping himself from smashing the phone, Granddad lashed out,“ Serenity, that b*tch, hung up on me!” Mike said, “She probably blocked my number.” “Does she think shedoesn’t have to pay by refusing the call? Do you know where the sisters are working? Make them show up and cough out the money for your grandmom’s medical fees.
We’ll need some funds to stay Icre and take care of her.
Get the sisters to pay for that 100.” Mike shook his head.
“I don’t know, but I have a way to make them come looking for us and pay up.” As ruthlessness flashed past his eyes, Mike decided to use his connections to teach the sisters a lesson.
Serenity knew her money-driven relatives were not going to stop there. Nevertheless, the family had no idea where the sisters were living.
Since it was not easy to scour the whole city for her and Liberty’s whereabouts , Serenity quickly put the matter behind her so she could enjoy anice dinner at her sister’s.
Having been listening to the conversation the whole time, Zachary did not take the matter lightly.
He had instructed Josh to get a file on the Hunts’ and trust that he would hear back soon.
The couple arrived at Liberty’s apartment and ran into Liberty who was taking out the trash downstairs.
“Liberty.” Happy to see her sister, Serenity darted toward Liberty.
“You’re here, Seren.” The fatigue across Liberty’s face was swept away at the sight of her sister and brother-in-law.
With Zachary retrieving bags of gifts from the car, Liberty whined,” We’re family.
You shouldn’t have to get us anything.” “It’s only some fruit, Liberty.” Taken in by Zachary’s kind gesture, Liberty was warming up to her honest and courteous brother-in-law.
Although a man of few words, Zachary was attentive and considerate toward Serenity.
Serenity would probably be stumped to find out what Liberty thought about Zachary.
“Is Hank back yet?” Serenity affectionately held Liberty’s arm.
“Where’s Sonny?” “Hank is on the way home.
He should be here soon.
Sonny’s upstairs.
My in-laws are here too.
They’re watching over Sonny so I can take the trash out.” Hearing that Liberty’s in-laws were heretoo, Serenity furrowed her sleek brows without saying a word.
There were certain things the sisters could keep between themselves.
There was no need to say it in front of Zachary.
SI The Browns were aware that Serenity had gotten married.
Hank’s sister, Chelsea , was here to inform Liberty that she would be sending her children to a schoolin the city.
The children would be staying with Liberty so she could keep an eye on them.
Since Liberty was already a stay-at home- mom, a few more children would not hurt.
In fact, it had always been Chelsea’s plan, but Hank did not have enough room to accommodate herchildren.
Chelsea’s daughter was eleven this year and entering junior high in the upcoming school year while her son was ten.
Both her daughter and son certainly could not share a room.
Chelsea’s youngest son was three years old and could only fall asleep in the company of adults.
Now that Serenity had married and moved out, Hank’s place had an extra room for Chelsea’stwo kids.
It was more than once that Chelsea moaned to Hank about Serenity living on Hank’s property.
Hank had no obligation to provide shelter for Serenity.
Chelsea resented Serenity for occupying a room that could have been for her children instead.
Partial to his family, Hank started to find Serenity an eyesore.
He started to pick fights with his wife and managed to force Serenity out of the house.
Liberty beckoned Serenity and Zachary to come up to the apartment.
They had just stepped out of the elevator when Liberty overheard her son’s cries.
“Sonny’s crying.” Serenity was more anxious than Liberty.
The latter then whipped out her house keys and opened the door, saying, “The children must be fighting over a toy.” Chelsea’s youngest son wasolder than Sonny by a year.
The two boys often fought over toys when they played together.
– – Liberty walked into the house to Sonny running over with his favorite toy, asking for hugs.
