“Where are we going?” The couple indulged in a little romance until Serenity realized that they were not en route to Brynfield. “To the villa on the hilltop.” “Oh,” Serenity remarked. Zachary stared at her with a worried look, afraid she might be displeased or not like it. The villa on the hilltop did not leave Serenity the best of memories. Zachary held Serenity captive in the estate for two days after the revelation of his identity. He was afraid to lose her, but it took everybody to talk sense into him before he could let go and allow her to leave. Since the day she set foot out of the villa, Serenity had never returned to the place. “Seren, we don’t have to go if you don’t like it there. I’ll get the driver to switch course for Brynfield.” After a pause, he mumbled under his breath, “Nana is still staying in Brynfield.” Serenity replied, “We can go to the villa on the hilltop. No need to switch routes.” The guy must think that he might startle Grandma May in B
Mrs. Newman would have everything sorted if they were faced with an ordinary person. It was a different story because the person they were targeting was Mrs. York. “No. Did Mr. Newman come looking for you?” “Yes. He came with gifts to apologize again, but I wouldn’t meet with him. I told Callum to handle it.” Since Callum would have to engage with the Newmans in the near future, he could use the practice by dealing with the matter. Poor Callum. “I wouldn’t be so kind as to forgive Carrie even if Mrs. Newman came to me. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to myself.“The feud between Carrie and I is past reconciliation.” Serenity took Camryn’s side too, and Carrie had it in for Camryn. The fact that they took different stands determined that they were on opposing sides. “No need to patch things up with her. She’s spoiled and thinks she should get her way in everything. She’ll always hold a grudge even if you forgive her. She’ll get even with you every chance she gets
Zachary gave it a thought before saying, “It sounds like a good plan. The DNA test is the most direct approach and compelling evidence.“I’ll send someone to bring him here. You can get a DNA test with him. You can slam the evidence in their face during the trial unless Noah isn’t their grandson.” Serenity said, “Um… What if Noah isn’t their grandson…” Zachary was speechless. The couple’s minds went blank. In the end, Zachary said, “Just get a DNA test with your grandfather. The old man is not going to cooperate for sure. Here’s where Noah can come into place. He can get a few strands of hair from your grandfather. The hair follicles have to be intact to do the DNA test.” The DNA test did not always have to be done with blood. Noah was the youngest grandson in the Hunt family. Serenity had roughened the boy up a couple of times to the point Noah revered Serenity now. It was a great opportunity to use him. Believing that Zachary’s plan was doable, Serenity remarked, “We’l
Sam replied, “Thank you for the heads-up, Cecilia. Mr. Zachary wouldn’t be happy if I went in.“Is the bedroom arranged according to Mr. Zachary’s instruction?” “It’s all done to give the romantic feel. I can guarantee the missus will have a great experience, and they will take their relationship up a notch.” Mrs. Lane replied expectantly, “I hope we’ll hear some good news from the missus soon.” Mr. Zachary had been working hard. “You can talk about it with me, but don’t bring this up to the missus. We don’t want her to feel the pressure. Mr. Zachary has not been together with the missus for a long time. They might want to have some alone time before adding a family member.” Although Sam looked forward to the missus carrying a child, employees like themselves had no right to rush the couple if they wanted to enjoy a few years without kids. Mrs. Lane said, “I know. I won’t say such a thing in front of the missus. More than anything else, I hope the missus and Mr. Zachary wi
“Sure,” Zachary dotingly responded. Serenity put the bouquet on the coffee table and pulled out her phone to capture the romance in the room, preserving Zachary’s love for her in a digital form. After Serenity took photos and videos, the couple took a few more together. Serenity was over the moon. “Take a look upstairs.” Serenity said with a smile, “Did you decorate the room like this too? It must be beautiful and romantic. I’m so glad.” Zachary grinned without a word as he took her by the hand upstairs. Serenity was right. The red carpet extended to their bedroom door. Pushing the bedroom door open, Serenity could not stop herself from smiling. The setup in the room was no different from downstairs, but the love language was written in the air. A glass of wine in this sensual room would push the flames of desire to an all-time high. It was a night of pleasure and intimacy. With the sun rising in the east, the break of dawn took over the night and welcomed a new d
Well, Grandma May was occupied getting her other grandsons to ditch the singlehood. Inspired by her first successful matchmaking, the old lady wanted to keep the momentum going and put her other grandsons, who were at the right age to marry but stayed single anyway, on the market. All that was left to do then was to wait for the birth of her great-granddaughter. A reward of five hundred million dollars would be given to the one who would give her a great-granddaughter! Zachary had a moment to himself as he finished his breakfast and read the paper for fifteen minutes on the sofa in the living room. He then got up and walked out of the house to get to work. Prior to leaving, he reminded Mrs. Lane to take good care of Serenity. By the worried look on his face, Mrs. Lane was tempted to suggest he brought Serenity to work with him. “Jim.” Before getting into the car, Zachary suddenly told Jim, “You don’t have to follow me today. I need you to do something for me. Go to the Hu
Jessica started looking around the place the moment she set foot in the diner. She was disappointed that Sonny was not around, but she did not show it on her face. It was the two servers’ first day, so they had no idea about Liberty’s relationship with Hank. One of them came forth with a smile on her face, asking the couple what they would like to eat. Hank brought Jessica to an empty table to sit down. “Jessica, wifey, what would you like to eat?” Before they went out, Jessica had demanded Hank to specifically call her “wifey” in Liberty’s presence. Even though Liberty had no feelings for Hank, Jessica could not stop herself from seeing Liberty as her love rival. It was probably because Jessica stole Hank from Liberty. Hence, she felt insecure that Hank would be taken by another. “I’ll have whatever you’re having.” Hank told the waitress, “Two breakfast sets.” She took down their order and asked the couple to wait while she brought the food to them. Most of the foo
“Sonny went with his uncle.” “Mr. York? Isn’t Sonny asleep?”Liberty faintly remarked, “He’s asleep. Zachary carried him away in that state. You can pick him up at York Corporation if you want to.” Hank was speechless. “If Sonny doesn’t want to stay at your place for a few days, you can visit him at Seren’s bookshop. It would be hard for me to find the time to look after him since I’m busy, but he’ll be spending a lot of time at Seren’s bookshop. Furrowing his brows, Hank said nothing more. Given a choice, Sonny would rather pick his aunt over his father. Hank had once told his son that he would take him to the zoo. The little guy was happy, but he left with his aunt the next day anyway. Sonny was willing to give up on the trip to the zoo. He knew where he stood. Hank had not been a good father. Although his son called him dad, they were not very close. He returned to his seat at the table. Jessica asked, “You look upset. What happened? Did you get into another row w
