Chapter 151
“I’m not saying that you can’t stand up for your sister, but there’s no turning back once your sister and your brother-in-law have a falling out. I definitely am on your side with you sorting it out with your brother-in-law.”
Serenity grimly ate her mushroom and replied, “You have a point. I will control my temper and refrain from hitting anyone, but I’ll still leave him a warning. I don’t want the Browns to think they can pick on my sister just because she doesn’t have a family.”
Seeing that she took his advice, Zachary left the conversation at that.
After filling their bellies, they sat for a little while before heading out together.
Knowing that Serenity was worried about her sister, Zachary took a detour to Liberty’s place so Serenity could check on her sister before dropping her off at the shop.
Serenity was touched by his thoughtfulness,
She had cautioned herself against hitting on Zachary last night, but his kindness led her to throw that decision out the window
Jasinine said that Zachary was a nice guy and that Serenity should give the relationship a lighting chance
while they were still married. Since only a month had passed out of the agreed six months, she had five more months left to develop feelings for each other and become a real couple.
She should give the relationship a try so as not to regret it in the future.
As mentioned by Elisa, she should chase after love. Even if it was not meant to be, at least she gave it a shot. Elisa would have no regrets even if she failed to capture Mr. York’s heart.
Spotting the miniature tree she had given to Zachary, Serenity uttered casually, “You still have the miniature tree in the car.”
“I’ll put it on my desk when I get to the office later.” Serenity grinned. “Please recommend my work to other people if anyone asks.”
LLLLLL
“Sure.” Zachary happily agreed to her request. He would get Josh to order the crafts from her online business. Josh would probably wonder why he was dragged into it again. Serenity intended to get to the Browns’ residence and have a talk with her brother-in-law later. To her surprise, the Browns came to her first. She got a call from Jasmine while on her way to work. Jasmine said that
Hank’s mother and sister were waiting for her at the shop.
It was better that they came looking for Serenity as it would save her the trip to the Browns’ residence.
Zachary asked, “Do you need my help?”
“I’m good. Only Hank’s mother and sister came to the shop. Women don’t usually fight. We’d probably bicker at most. You don’t need a row with these women. It’s beneath you. “Don’t worry. I won’t lose whether it’s an argument or a fight.”
As an orphan with the most ridiculous relatives, Serenity had grown up to be feisty. As she mentioned , she would always win in fights and quarrels.
A cultured person like Zachary would not pick a fight, whether verbally or physically , unless provoked. Since Serenity did not need help, Zachary dropped her off at the shop and made his way to work. While on the road, Zachary was a little bummed out as he was wearing the suit Serenity bought him. She did not pick up on that when they had breakfast together or when he drove her to the shop.
With such a handsome husband by her side, why did she not put her attention on him?
It was nine o’clock by the time Zachary made it to the
office. Lucky for him, Elisa was not there to block his way into the building.
He did not bring his miniature tree out of his car because there were not many people around.
Zachary took the elevator straight to the top. He ran into Josh when he was stepping out of the elevator. Josh had a file of papers tucked under his elbow while holding a phone with his right hand to make a call. Having spotted Zachary, Josh gave up on calling and said, “I have an urgent document I need you to sign. I thought you weren’t coming to the office since you weren’t around.”
He explained faintly, “I arrived late as I had to drive my wife to work.”
