She urged Serenity to treat Zachary well.<\/div>\n<div>Liberty was genuinely worried that her own failed marriage would lead her sister to lose faith in the possibility of successful marriages.<\/div>\n<div>Although Hank had been unfaithful, that didn\u2019t mean all men were the same.<\/div>\n<div>There were still good husbands out there.<\/div>\n<div>Unfortunately, Liberty had not been fortunate enough to find the right one.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity replied with a hint of exasperation, \u201cI understand, Liberty. You don\u2019t have to keep praising him. I\u2019ll help with the dishes.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>She then slipped into the kitchen before her sister could begin another round of compliments about Zachary. Liberty insisted that she treat Zachary well, as if she had been mistreating him.<\/div>\n<div>Jasmine quietly chuckled from a corner.<\/div>\n<div>As Zachary prepared to wash the dishes, he heard footsteps approaching. Glancing toward the kitchen door, he saw it was Serenity. He said, \u201cI\u2019ll handle the dishes. Please, have a seat. It must be exhausting to prepare a seafood feast.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI made a variety of dishes since you were coming for lunch,\u201d Serenity replied.<\/div>\n<div>She gently nudged him aside. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you relax while I take care of the dishes? Your sister-in-law is worried that I might mistreat you. She keeps telling me what a great guy you are and how I should be nice to you. I feel like I\u2019ve heard it a thousand times.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary didn\u2019t dispute the dishwashing responsibility. He washed his hands and agreed, \u201cLiberty has been through a lot, so she understands what\u2019s important. She\u2019s right.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity was left speechless.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI have evidence of your brother-in-law\u2019s affair. The file is in my car. Should I bring it to your sister now?\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThat was quick.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary replied, \u201cYeah. My friend is quite skilled at gathering intel. He knows what he\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cDoes he run a private investigation agency?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou could say that.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Someone in the Bucham family was involved in that field, but they didn\u2019t rely on the agency for information. The family was fairly secretive, much like the Johnsons in Annenburg.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cGive me the file before you head to work. I\u2019ll pass it to my sister later. Let her enjoy her job offer today; I don\u2019t want to spoil it for her.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cSure.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cIf your friend is okay with it, could you invite him to dinner at our place? A hotel would work too. We should express our gratitude for his help.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary replied, \u201cI\u2019m treating him to dinner tonight. No need to worry about that. We won\u2019t owe him any favors.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Since he had a business dinner scheduled, Josh would be joining them.<\/div>\n<div>Josh would probably question how that counted as a dinner treat if he heard this.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cAll right. Thank you!\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cIt\u2019s no trouble at all. I hope your sister can escape the Browns.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Creeps like the Browns didn\u2019t deserve his sister-in-law.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary might say that, but his gaze remained fixed on Serenity.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity paused her dishwashing and turned to face him. \u201cThe way you\u2019re looking at me makes me think you don\u2019t want my verbal thanks. How about a kiss?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary\u2019s eyes darkened.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity smiled. \u201cOh, never mind. I should wish you success by making you an eagle, so you can soar in your career.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary would have preferred the kiss instead.<\/div>\n<div>However, he could not.<\/p>\n<p>He couldn\u2019t bring himself to say it out loud. As Serenity resumed washing the dishes, Zachary fell silent for a moment before walking out, feeling dejected. Typically, she would tease him, but it seemed she had stopped doing so, possibly because of the days of silent treatment they had been experiencing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"text-chapter-toolbar\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\"><i class=\"icon ion-md-settings\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 309 With Zachary expressing his thoughts openly, Liberty chose not to argue and assisted her son in putting on [&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-12061","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\/12061","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=12061"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12061\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
