Chapter 696
Zachary appeared rather delighted as he strolled down the stairs. Anyone near him right now couldhear that he was humming to a tune.
It had been a while since they got married, but Zachary was no longer just Serenity’s husband byname.
He took strides into the kitchen and grabbed the apron hanging off the door. Zachary put on the apronand opened the fridge to check for ingredients. He took out a few ingredients for the dishes he plannedto make.
First things first, Zachary wanted to make a broth suitable for women after their first time.
He got the ingredients ready and dumped them in a slow cooker set on high. He then went on toprepare the next dish.
After much thought, he gave Sam a call. With the line connected, Zachary instructed, “Sam, deliversome live shrimp over. I don’t see any fresh seafood in the fridge.”
The other dishes did not matter as Serenity’s favorite was shrimp. It was a must- have.
“Have you and the missus had dinner yet?”novelbin
Sam felt bad. “You should’ve asked Mrs. Lane to prepare your dinner in advance.”
“It’s fine. It’s no issue to have our dinner later. I wasn’t hungry. Serenity had something to eat at theoffice just now.”
“Alright then. I’ll send someone to deliver the live shrimp. It should take half an hour.”
Zachary was cool with that. Shrimp was easy to cook as it only took seconds. He could start on theother dishes first.
It had been a while since the Great Mr. York cooked in the kitchen. While humming a song, heprepared the ingredients and cooked a few of his best dishes to serve his wife.
Zachary never felt so thankful for his nana as he was right now.
Nana raised them differently from the other wealthy families. At the request of Nana, Zachary, hisbrothers, and his cousins learned their way around the kitchen.
He had his suspicions that Nana wanted them to become chefs and win their wives‘ hearts throughtheir stomachs. The women would not be able to leave the boys once they got a taste of the boys‘ food.
Zachary prepared Serenity’s dinner with love in the kitchen while Serenity lay in the bathroom. The hotbath relaxed her aching body.
Ring, ring, ring…
The phone that was put aside rang.
It was her sister.
Serenity quickly took the call.
“Seren, are you and Zachary home? I was busy and only saw your message now. Sorry, I didn’t replyto you in time.”
“I got back in the afternoon. Have you had dinner, Liberty? Where’s Sonny? I miss him.”
Liberty replied with a smile, “I’m carrying Sonny on my back. I haven’t had dinner. I just got back fromthe shop. I bought groceries, and I’m almost home. I’ll cook dinner when I get home.”
“What about Mrs. Lane?”
“I told Mrs. Lane to watch over your place since you and Zachary weren’t around. Someone has to lookafter your pets and garden. I can manage on my own.”
Although Brnyfield had tight security, Liberty was worried that no one was at home. Hence, she askedMrs. Lane to house–sit.
“It’s late. Sonny must be starving.”
Serenity felt bad for her sister.
“I made food for Sonny this morning and kept it in the thermal container. He had some at the shop, sohe’s not feeling hungry yet.”
Carrying her son on her back, Liberty climbed up the stairs with her groceries in hand. It was tiring, butLiberty had been keeping up with exercise to lose weight. Running around to set up her shop increasedher workout and built her stamina too.
It was unlike before when she was left catching her breath from climbing the stairs.
“I should leave you to make dinner, Liberty. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
She would not be going over tonight.
“Sure. I’m back at my rented apartment. I’ll start on dinner now.”
Liberty stopped in front of her place and hung up the call. She whipped out her keys to unlock the doorbefore carrying her son into the house.
