Chapter 740<\/div>\n
\u201cNot yet. The beans need to be sun-dried before they can be pickled.\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity avoided the kitchen due to the strong spices. She quickly scanned the house but didn\u2019t spot Sonny or Mrs. Lane, so she asked, \u201cDid Mrs. Lane take Sonny out?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cYes, Sonny isn\u2019t fond of spicy food and asked Mrs. Lane to take him for a walk. They\u2019ll return later for dinner. Seren, why are you here at this hour? Don\u2019t you need to prepare a meal for Zachary? You also mentioned you were shopping for an evening dress. Did you find one?\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity entered her sister\u2019s small kitchen and began washing the vegetables as she responded, \u201cI picked up a few dresses. My mother-in-law helped me choose them; she has excellent taste. The gowns she selected are all stunning.\u201d<\/div>\n
However, they were quite expensive.<\/div>\n
She discreetly asked the clerk and discovered that if she were to buy the dresses her mother-in-law had chosen, she could afford only two or three at most.<\/div>\n
Even though it was Zachary\u2019s money, Serenity still felt guilty about the expense.<\/div>\n
That guy really was a big spender.<\/div>\n
People who earned more tended to spend more as well.<\/div>\n
Fortunately, he had significant savings and had purchased a house in Brynfield.<\/div>\n
Liberty hummed in response.<\/div>\n
Ring ring ring\u2026<\/div>\n
The doorbell rang.<\/div>\n
\u201cGo see who\u2019s at the door, Seren. My hands are dirty,\u201d Liberty called, urging her sister to answer the door.<\/div>\n
Serenity stepped out of the kitchen and approached the door.<\/div>\n
\u201cIt should be Mrs. Lane and Sonny. Mrs. Lane\u2014what are you doing here?\u201d<\/div>\n
To her surprise, the person at the door was not Mrs. Lane or Sonny, but Olivia.<\/div>\n
\u201cSerenity, is your sister home? I-I came to chat with her. Where\u2019s Sonny? I\u2019d like to see him as well.\u201d<\/div>\n
Olivia appeared a bit intimidated by Serenity now.<\/div>\n
\u201cYou<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you want to chat with my sister at this hour? Are you planning to convince her to prepare a meal for you? What\u2019s the matter? Does your new daughter-in-law not cook for you? Doesn\u2019t she whip up a seafood feast for you?\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity couldn\u2019t help but be sarcastic when discussing Olivia. In the past, whenever Olivia brought her daughter and family over, it was Serenity and Liberty who cooked for them. The family loved seafood, so every time they visited, they expected Liberty to buy and prepare a seafood feast.<\/p>\n

After the meals, they would even take the leftovers home. Once they left, Hank would always blame Liberty for the expense, suggesting that she should use her own money to pay for the food that fed her in-laws.<\/p>\n

Olivia appeared embarrassed. Since it was too costly to stay in a hotel, Hank had rented a four-bedroom house with two living rooms for the entire family. <\/p>\n

Every day, Olivia and Chelsea brainstormed ways to get Jessica, Hank\u2019s busy secretary, to cook for them. How could she possibly find time to serve his mother and sister? <\/p>\n

At times, Olivia would skip meals out of frustration and leave home. However, she wasn\u2019t truly running away; it was her way of protesting her son\u2019s marriage to Jessica. <\/p>\n

At that moment, Olivia hadn\u2019t eaten and was longing for the Hunt sisters\u2019 cooking. <\/p>\n

\u201cSerenity, can you let me in?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cMy sister is busy and can\u2019t chat with you right now. Sonny isn\u2019t home, either, so you won\u2019t be able to see him. Please leave. If you want to see Sonny next time, please suggest a location in advance, and we can take him there instead.\u201d <\/p>\n

Olivia remained firm. Frustrated, she just wanted someone to talk to, but she was only familiar with the residents in Bright.<\/p>\n

Boulevard. With the house renovations complete and no plans for any further work, they could no longer stay there. Moreover, even if she chose to remain, the acquaintances she would encounter would inevitably discuss her family\u2019s affairs. Even someone as thick-skinned as Olivia feared being judged by the entire neighborhood. <\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t close the door, Serenity. I won\u2019t come in. I\u2019m just here to talk to your sister. I\u2019m going through a lot right now, and I\u2019ll go crazy if I don\u2019t find someone to confide in.\u201d <\/p>\n

Olivia stepped down from her pedestal and adopted a gentler demeanor.<\/p>\n
