Jim responded immediately, “Relax, Mr. Zachary. I’m getting better at coming up with excuses. The missus won’t suspect a thing.” Zachary fell silent for a moment before eerily remarking, “Why do I get the feeling you’re suggesting that I tell a lot of tales?”
Jim was left speechless. He would never have the courage to imply anything. However, Zachary remained calm, and the call soon ended.
After Mr. Zachary hung up, Jim sighed with relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had broken out in a cold sweat at Mr. Zachary’s grim comment, even in the middle of winter. Luckily, he had secured the opportunity to assist with the home demolition for the missus’s sister.
By afternoon, Liberty dropped her son off at the shop and asked her sister to watch over Sonny.
“Liberty, do you want me to come?” Serenity asked, concerned that an issue might arise. “Your parents-in-law gave Granddad and the others something this morning. They told me a bunch of stuff about saving the marriage, and I told them to leave.”
As she handed her sleeping child to her sister, Liberty said softly, “Sonny fell asleep on the way here. He already had lunch, so just let him nap.”
“Hank called me earlier. We’re meeting at the time and place we agreed on yesterday. It seems he has convinced his parents.”
Liberty wasn’t worried that Hank might change his mind. He prioritized his career and was eager to be with Jessica, so he wouldn’t let the matter linger.
He didn’t want the situation hanging over his head. Her mother-in-law had tried to persuade her relatives to talk her out of a divorce? Liberty couldn’t help but laugh; her mother-in-law deserved to lose money for being foolish enough to trust Liberty’s relatives!
