Chapter 768
Hank scoffed, “She’s still a fat cow, no matter how much weight she loses. Just looking at her makes me want to vomit.”
He placed a hand on Jessica’s lap, saying, “You’re the best, Jessica. I love you the most.”
Jessica beamed with delight.
Liberty couldn’t compete with her!
On their way home, Serenity mentioned Duncan to her sister, “Liberty, I think the universe is bringing you two together. You keep running into him. He was even driving by when he spotted you and Sonny.”
Liberty laughed heartily. “That’s just a coincidence, Seren. Mr. Lewis has a fondness for Sonny.”
“Honestly, I feel uneasy whenever I encounter Mr. Lewis,” she admitted.
“It’s true that Mr. Lewis has taken a liking to Sonny. I was at an Italian restaurant with Jasmine when we ran into Zachary and Mr. Bucham treating Mr. Lewis to dinner. I can’t believe the three of them were at such a modest place. We ended up having dinner together afterward.”
“Mr. Lewis asked why I hadn’t brought you and Sonny along.”
Liberty responded, “Mr. Lewis may appear tough and unyielding, but he’s actually quite reasonable and a real softie.”
That’s why he took to Sonny.
Ring, ring, ring…
Serenity’s phone rang.
Noticing it was Zachary, Serenity remarked, “Your beloved brother-in-law is calling me, Liberty. He’s been away for three days now, and this is the first time he’s reaching out.”
“Did you make an effort to call him? He’s away on important business, and you’ve had nothing to do at home. All you’ve done is take Sonny out shopping and dining with Jasmine. Now the boy has the travel bug.”
“You didn’t even try to contact Zachary to check on him. Did you ask if he can make it back for Christmas and New Year?”
“He mentioned he’ll be back in
“It’s time for the festive holidays,” Serenity said as she tapped to put the call on speaker.
“Where are you now, Seren?” Zachary asked, already knowing she was out as soon as the line connected; he could hear the engine running.
“I went shopping with my sister. We bought a lot of gifts. All that’s left is for you to come home.”
Zachary felt disappointed to find the house empty upon his return. Gradually, his frown softened as he sat down on the sofa and loosened his tie. He asked gently, “Are you on your way back? When will you be home? I’m here now. Text me when you reach the neighborhood, and I’ll come downstairs to help with the bags.”
Serenity replied regretfully, “You’re back? I thought you wouldn’t return until later tonight or tomorrow morning.”
“Don’t you want me home?” he queried.
“No, I do! I want you home. The timing is perfect; you can help carry the shopping bags.”
Serenity felt she hadn’t had enough fun, and she didn’t want her “hungry wolf” home too soon to drain her energy. Although Zachary was reserved by nature, she assumed he would be the same in the bedroom. It never occurred to her that he could be passionate and had remarkable stamina—like an Energizer Bunny. Serenity would think twice before trying to turn him on, worried that if she got him too excited, she might not be able to get out of bed.
“Am I your porter?” Zachary complained, though his tone reflected affection. “Your personal porter will be downstairs, waiting for you.”
