He asked, \u201cWould you like to visit your sister\u2019s house?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity glanced at the time on her phone and replied, \u201cHank won\u2019t be back at this hour.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>She paused briefly before adding, \u201cMy sister can manage her own matters. I\u2019ll help her as much as I can if she needs it.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary fell silent.<\/div>\n<div>He began texting someone on his phone.<\/div>\n<div>A few minutes later, he suddenly said, \u201cYou seem a bit down. Why don\u2019t we call it a day? I can accompany you wherever you\u2019d like to go.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>After a moment of silence, Serenity replied, \u201cI don\u2019t have anywhere in mind.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Recently, Serenity\u2019s mood had taken a downturn whenever her sister\u2019s marriage was mentioned.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity and Liberty had been each other\u2019s support for many years. After Liberty got married, Serenity believed her sister had found a good home and that a lifetime of happiness awaited her. However, the harsh reality was a bitter wake-up call. Liberty\u2019s marriage was crumbling, while Serenity and Zachary were still striving to strengthen their relationship, leaving Serenity uncertain about their future.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity pondered, \u2018Will our lives always be this difficult?\u2019 \u201cIf you\u2019re willing to trust me, just come with me and let me handle the rest.\u201d She met his dark, deep eyes, often so cold that she could not discern his thoughts.<\/div>\n<div>Yet, in that moment, Serenity recognized the concern he held for her in his gaze.<\/div>\n<div>A warmth spread through her heart.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity nodded. \u201cAlright. I\u2019ll get ready now. We can go out for a walk and enjoy the cool breeze.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Suddenly, she noticed Snowball lying under the cash register and asked softly, \u201cWhat about Mrs. Lane, Snowball, and the kittens? Should we take them home first?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary reached out<\/p>\n<p>her. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you want?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour car keys.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity pulled out her car keys and inquired, \u201cCan Mrs. Lane drive?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The York family required their workers to be able to drive, as they lived far from the city center. If the workers were unable to drive, getting to work would be inconvenient. <\/p>\n<p>Zachary took the car keys, turned his head, and called out in a deep voice, \u201cMrs. Lane.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Lane, who had been hiding in the corner to avoid being a third wheel, quickly approached. \u201cMr. York.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary handed Serenity\u2019s car keys to Mrs. Lane and said, \u201cSerenity and I won\u2019t be going home just yet. Here are the car keys. You can take Snowball and the kittens home first.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He then took out a bunch of keys and removed a house key. \u201cThis is the key to the house.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Lane accepted the keys. \u201cThanks. I\u2019ll take Snowball and the kittens home first.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She thought, \u2018Mr. York should have let me leave with the pets earlier so I wouldn\u2019t have laughed until my stomach hurt.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Lane hurried off with the pets. <\/p>\n<p>Serenity stood beside Zachary and said, \u201cLet me bring in the shelves at the door first.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary silently stood up, turned around, and went outside to help her bring in the shelves before putting them away. \u201cWhat did you stock up on this time?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary pointed to the results of Elisa\u2019s shopping spree, thinking they were new supplies for the store. Serenity glanced at them and replied, \u201cThat\u2019s Ms. Stone\u2019s haul. She was in a bad mood earlier and bought all those things but didn\u2019t really need them, so she gave them to me. There are also two more large boxes of toys for Sonny. Earlier today, Hank\u2019s mother brought Lucas here just to grab those toys from Sonny.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She only shared this with<\/p>\n<p>Zachary mentioned Lucas\u2019s argument with Sonny over the toys but did not clearly inform him that those toys also belonged to Elisa.<\/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 381 Zachary looked at Serenity, who was also gazing back at him.
