Chapter 693<\/div>\n
After unlocking the gate, Zachary returned to the car and started the engine. He drove into the villa compound and parked on the vacant driveway.<\/div>\n
He responded without Serenity having to press for answers, \u201cMy parents and Nana prefer living in the old residence, away from the hustle and bustle. They\u2019ve been there for decades and are accustomed to it. They enjoy their peace, away from us kids. Nana would stay with us for a few days, then vanish somewhere else.\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity agreed, \u201cThat sounds about right.\u201d<\/div>\n
She exited the car and wandered around the front lawn.<\/div>\n
The landscape was beautiful. The estate featured both a front lawn and a backyard, complete with a swimming pool, neatly trimmed trees, and a pergola at the front. A swing hung from a branch of the tree near the pergola, perfect for enjoying a good book or the view while seated.<\/div>\n
The backyard was lush, filled with scenic and fruit trees, including homegrown Wiltspoonian apple and mango trees.<\/div>\n
Serenity noticed the open space in the center of the backyard and contemplated planting fruits and vegetables in the vacant area.<\/div>\n
She impulsively shared her idea.<\/div>\n
Zachary smiled and said, \u201cI don\u2019t have time for gardening. You\u2019re the lady of the house, so you can grow whatever you like. I won\u2019t mind how you use the land.\u201d<\/div>\n
In truth, the gardener had cleared the area specifically for growing roses.<\/div>\n
Wanting to inform Serenity about the villa, Zachary had instructed the butler to relocate everyone to another villa during his hospital stay while Serenity was away. The gardener had prepared the land to help Serenity create her dream garden.<\/div>\n
The swing by the pergola was hastily installed at the last minute.<\/div>\n
Serenity would certainly enjoy the view from the swing.<\/div>\n
\u201cThe place is a bit far from our workplaces. I\u2019ll forget about it soon enough,\u201d she mused.<\/p>\n

for now.\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity thought the apartment in Brynfield was more accessible. They could occasionally spend short breaks at a villa. \u201cWe have cars, so we can drive here after work. It\u2019s quieter than Brynfield. Many of our neighbors are families with kids. We can hear the frustrated screams of moms upstairs and downstairs as they tutor their children on homework.\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity grinned and replied, \u201cDon\u2019t complain about the noise. You\u2019ll understand how it feels when you have to help your child with homework.\u201d <\/p>\n

Zachary confidently stated, \u201cI\u2019m a laid-back guy. I\u2019ll stay calm even when I have to help my child with homework. I won\u2019t yell at them. What\u2019s the point of screaming? Will it help if they don\u2019t understand their homework?\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity looked at him skeptically. \u201cYou always get ahead of yourself, but look where you end up. You\u2019re in charge of homework when we have a school-aged child. I\u2019ll handle the house chores, so you can unleash your calm demeanor and stand your ground.\u201d <\/p>\n

She turned on her heel and walked away. Zachary quickly caught up to her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder and chuckling, \u201cLet\u2019s go inside and make babies. Otherwise, you won\u2019t be able to see if I can really hold my ground while helping our kid with homework.\u201d <\/p>\n

Before they could assist their child with homework, they needed to have one first. \u201cYou haven\u2019t lived here for a while. Is the kitchen usable?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a bit, but my mom will hire a few cleaners to tidy up the place in two days and stock the fridge, so I can come back and cook my own meals.\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity had no reason to doubt Zachary\u2019s words. From her perspective, many mothers tended to fuss over their children\u2019s daily lives. Hank was a prime example; her sister took care of his basic needs.<\/p>\n

After the marriage, Hank\u2019s mother would occasionally check in on him, as if she doubted Liberty\u2019s ability to take care of him. <\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s have dinner first, followed by a stroll,\u201d she suggested. <\/p>\n

Zachary replied, \u201cBut I want to enjoy you now, Seren.\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity pouted in response. \u201cWhat\u2019s the hurry? Can\u2019t you show me around so I can get familiar with the area?\u201d<\/p>\n
