Chapter 247
Seeing that Zachary had not left yet, Serenity turned his head and asked him, “What’s wrong?”
Zachary pursed his lips and said, “Nothing… I’ll go back to the office first.”
“Okay.” Serenity responded casually, then turned her head back to cleaning the dishes.
After taking a long stare at Serenity’s back, Zachary turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
Grandma May was playing with Sonny. When she saw her grandson coming out of the kitchen, she looked displeased and said, “Zack, why didn’t you help Serenity with the dishes? She has been busy all morning and must be very tired.”
The York men loved their wives dearly. Grandma May saw that her sons were considerate and fond of her daughters-in-law.
So why was it that her grandson was so inconsiderate to her granddaughter-in-law?
“Serenity doesn’t need my help. Nana, I’ll head back to the office,” Zachary said in a low voice and walked past his grandmother.
The old lady opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Zachary had already walked out of the bookstore in great strides. In the end, Grandma May sighed and held back her words.
Soon, Zachary drove his car and left the entrance of Wiltspoon School.
Soon after, Zachary received a call from Josh.
“What’s up?”
Zachary stopped at the traffic light and waited for it to turn green.
“Noah Hunt, your in-law, was arrested.”
“He’s not my in-law.”
Zachary coldly corrected the way his friend addressed Noah.
He was still at an impasse with Serenity and had no idea how long their marriage would last. Thus, he would not consider the Hunts as his in-laws.
Even Serenity did not treat her relatives as family.
“Okay, okay, he’s not your in-law.”
Josh knew what the Hunts did to Serenity and her sister, so he was aware he went a little too far with his joke earlier.
“Noah brought a bunch of gangsters to threaten Serenity and wanted to beat her up, but
Serenity beat them up instead and called the cops on them. They’re detained at the police station now.”
Serenity was not injured, so those gangsters were just detained.
“What are the Hunts trying to do again?”
Zachary instructed Josh to arrange for someone to watch the Hunts’ movements, so he would know what they were up to before Serenity.
“They want to bail Noah out.”
Zachary explained, “He gathered a bunch of thugs to scare Serenity. If Serenity didn’t know how to fight, her car would be smashed, and she would be injured. She might even get robbed. They were clearly trying to carjack her, so detention is too light of a punishment.”
Josh laughed. “I can’t believe your wife can fight pretty well. Okay, I got it.”
Zachary did not say anything when his friend praised Serenity’s fighting skills.
“Are you still at your wife’s store? Did you two reconcile? Hurry up and coax her. Girls are easily coaxed. Just get her two bouquets of flowers or something she likes. If you don’t know what she likes, you can be tacky and transfer her some money. Give her more and make it rain! I guarantee she’ll forgive you.”
“I’m on the way back to the office. I need to drive now. Bye!”
Zachary hung up and thought, ‘What does Serenity like?’
He did have the chance to know her well enough to know what she liked, except that she was a foodie who loved to eat.
Not long after they got their marriage license, Serenity accompanied Jasmine to a dinner party. Zachary’s bodyguard saw Serenity and told him that the two ladies huddled in a corner all night, eating and drinking. They slipped away after they had their share of food and drinks without any intentions to befriend the rich people there.
