In a bid to keep Serenity close, Liberty poured a bottle of wine and enjoyed a glass with her sister until midnight, before allowing the couple to leave.<\/div>\n<div>As a lightweight, Serenity quickly felt the effects of the stiff drink. By the time she left her sister\u2019s home, she was tipsy, dizzy, and staggering with each step.<\/div>\n<div>Liberty saw the young couple off at the door.<\/div>\n<div>During her previous job, Liberty had attended social events with her boss and had learned to handle her liquor well enough to manage a glass of wine without issue.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cZachary, Serenity is drunk. Please take good care of her,\u201d Liberty urged her brother-in-law.<\/div>\n<div>Liberty intentionally got her sister tipsy to prevent Serenity from seeking revenge on Hank.<\/div>\n<div>She feared that if Serenity went to the Browns\u2019 residence, they would gang up on her.<\/div>\n<div>The Browns were just as unreasonable as Liberty\u2019s own relatives.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI will take good care of Serenity, Liberty,\u201d Zachary assured her.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary effortlessly helped Serenity down the stairs, but after she nearly stumbled multiple times, he ended up picking her up and carrying her.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhy did you drink when you shouldn\u2019t have? Your sister had a reason for that bottle of wine, yet you foolishly decided to drink,\u201d he scolded.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity wrapped her arms around Zachary\u2019s neck and let out a belch. With the smell of alcohol invading his space, Zachary turned his head in disgust and said, \u201cDon\u2019t breathe your alcohol-laden breath on me. You reek.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI want to!\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity pressed her face against his. \u201cI\u2019ll stink you to death! Why didn\u2019t you stop me when you realized what your sister was up to?\u201d<\/div>\n<p>Zachary felt uneasy with her so close and almost pushed her to the ground.<br \/>\n\u201cSerenity!\u201d<br \/>\nFrowning, he exclaimed, \u201cI know you\u2019re still sober. Don\u2019t even think about getting handsy!\u201d<br \/>\nSerenity laughed softly and rested her head on his shoulder. \u201cI want to get back at Hank for mistreating my sister. If I can\u2019t go today, I\u2019ll go tomorrow. I\u2019ll storm into his office to confront him!\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHow can you say my breath smells? I didn\u2019t complain about yours when you were drunk last time.\u201d<br \/>\nZachary grumbled, \u201cI didn\u2019t ask you to look after me when I was drunk, but now you need my help to carry you.\u201d<br \/>\nSerenity replied quietly, \u201cI didn\u2019t ask you to carry me.\u201d<br \/>\nZachary was left speechless.<br \/>\nWell, no good deed goes unpunished.<br \/>\nAfter they descended the stairs, Zachary helped his inebriated wife into the car. To avoid her groping him, he put Serenity in the backseat so her wandering hands wouldn\u2019t interfere with his driving.<br \/>\nSerenity didn\u2019t mind; she lay down in the car and quickly fell asleep.<br \/>\nZachary glanced back at her. Seeing she had dozed off without a care, he narrowed his eyes and kept quiet.<br \/>\nHe drove his wife home in silence.<br \/>\nAbout halfway there, the woman in the backseat suddenly jolted awake and shouted, \u201cPigs will fly when men become dependable!\u201d<br \/>\nThen she fell back down and resumed her beauty sleep.<br \/>\nZachary turned to look at her again.<br \/>\nHe sat in silence for a moment before his deep voice broke the quiet in the car. \u201cDon\u2019t judge all men the same way. It takes all kinds to make a world. Some men can\u2019t be trusted, but there are dependable ones too.\u201d<br \/>\nZachary would be one of those reliable men if he were to fall for her.<br \/>\nEven if love didn\u2019t exist between them, he would still do his best.<\/p>\n<p>As a husband in the next six months, Zachary didn\u2019t expect an answer from the woman in the backseat. Soon, they arrived back at Brynfield. Zachary parked the car, stepped out, and opened the backseat door. Leaning in, he called to the girl, \u201cWe\u2019re home, Serenity. Time to get out.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 147 Having only each other for many years, Liberty understood Serenity well enough to know her sister would stand [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11799"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11799\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11899,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11799\/revisions\/11899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
