Chapter 106
Old Mrs. Hunt was well-known in town for her temper. She was assertive and never yielded to anyone. She insisted that her children and grandchildren were not in the wrong
God knew how long the old lady could keep up with that pride.
Without any idea how her relatives spent the night, Serenity had a good night’s sleep. As morning light rolled around, she dreamed about her parents. She cried out to her mom and dad while trying to reach them but only caught air.
By the time she woke up, tears had drenched her pillow.
Serenity stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time before sitting up. She pulled out tissues to wipe away traces of tears on her cheeks as she mumbled under her breath , “Mom, Dad, did you know that your daughters were bullied? Don’t worry. Liberty and I aren’t the same kids from fifteen years ago. They can’t push us around anymore.”
She picked up her phone for a look. Serenity muted her phone before she went to bed last night.
There were multiple missed calls and unread text
messages.
Serenity checked on the missed calls. Since they were unfamiliar numbers, Serenity guessed they were from the Hunts. She randomly tapped on two text messages to read. It was about asking her to delete the tweet and that they were a family no matter what.
The Hunts said they would be ruined because of her.
The family would put everything behind them if Serenity deleted the post. Serenity would not need to pay for the grandmother’s medical treatment too, but she should come to the hospital to visit her grandmother if she had a heart. It was the least she could do as a granddaughter .
Serenity could not be bothered to read more of these messages.
These people still believed they were in the right while Serenity went overboard. It did not seem to dawn on the Hunts that they were the ones who started it. Liberty and Serenity would be torn apart by the public if the sisters did not have sufficient evidence to disprove the tweet.
Why should Serenity do her part as a granddaughter when her grandparents did nothing for them sisters?
Should Serenity be grateful that her grandparents took half of her parents’ life insurance payout? Should Serenity be grateful that her grandparents beat up the sisters and kicked them out her parents’ home?
As if!
Other than the Hunts’ text messages, concern came flooding in from Jasmine, Shawn, and friends too.
Serenity replied to them that she was doing well.
After a quick wash-up and change of clothes, Serenity walked out from her room into the kitchen. It was time to prepare a rich and nutritional breakfast for her man.
Serenity made it extra special today to thank Zachary for his help and company.
Zachary came out of his room to a sumptuous breakfast spread on the table. He asked, “Serenity, did you invite anyone over for breakfast? What’s with the feast?”
“We’re not expecting guests. It’s just us.”
Dumbstruck, Zachary ensued with a smile. “Are pigs flying? To what do I owe this great banquet by our great chef?”
Serenity took off her apron and replied, “Yes. Pigs are flying. It’s a shame you got up late and missed the miracle.”
Zachary was amused by her cheeky comeback. He enjoyed a good laugh to find his playful wife staring at him in awe.
