“her to assist Chelsea with picking up the children.” If Liberty declined to help, his house would not need to be transferred to his sister. Speaking of which, did Liberty refuse assistance because she didn’t want him to transfer the house to Chelsea? She was aware that no other family members had the time to help Chelsea with the children. Hank wanted to return to the room to question Liberty, but he feared another argument, so he abandoned the idea. The night passed in silence. The following day, the sky was gray and drizzly. A chill settled in after a light rain. Serenity stepped out of the room and saw Zachary gathering clothes from the balcony. She approached him and remarked, “It’s not raining heavily, and there’s no wind either. The clothes hanging here won’t get wet.” Zachary was collecting the clothes he had washed the night before, which he had initially hung out on the small balcony. However, after waking up in the middle of the night to find it windy, he took advantage of Serenity’s sleep to move the clothes to the larger balcony. Unexpectedly, it rained that morning, and the wind calmed down as well. He touched the clothes and found them still damp, not dry enough to wear. The washing machine that Sam had sent over included a drying function, but even that couldn’t sufficiently dry the clothes. “Don’t you have other clothes to wear?” Serenity asked casually when she saw his predicament. “I have plenty of clothes. Even if I don’t wash them daily, I have enough clean clothes to last a month. I noticed it was raining and worried the clothes might get splashed, so I checked to see if they were wet. If you think they won’t get wet, I’ll leave them out to dry,” he replied, hanging the clothes back up and asking Serenity as if…
Nothing had happened. “Would you prefer to make breakfast at home or go out to eat? How about I treat you to breakfast? Call your sister. If Ms. Sox is awake this early, you can call her too.”
Serenity laughed and teased him, “Mr. York, did you dream of winning the lottery last night? How many millions did you win?”
Zachary playfully flicked her forehead. “Do I need to win the lottery to treat you all to breakfast?”
“I’ll call Jasmine and my sister right away. It’s rare for you to treat us, so we must take you up on your offer.”
