Chapter 866
After struggling to take his eyes off Serenity, Zachary quietly followed his sister–in- law out.
Grabbing the paper and pen, Serenity wrote an apology and left her name and phone number so shecould discuss repairs when the person got in touch.
Seeing the anti–theft lock was unused, Serenity put the note on the pedal and clamped it down with thelock. Once she had done that, Serenity walked out of the parking garage.
She saw her sister and nephew, but Zachary was nowhere to be found.
“Liberty, is he gone?”
“You bought a lot of stuff. Zachary volunteered to move them upstairs for you.”
Pursing her lips, Serenity said nothing more.
“You said you were just going out for a ride, but you ended up in a supermarket. I can’t leave you andSonny in the supermarket. You shop until you drop.”
With her son in her arms, Liberty chatted with her sister while climbing up the stairs.
“Retail therapy is the best when you’re feeling down. You’ll come out of the store feeling new.”
Liberty burst into laughter. “You and Sonny are just there for the snacks. You just don’t want to admit it.”
By the time the sisters made it upstairs, the door was wide open.
Zachary was waiting for them at the door.
“I put away the things, Liberty.”
Zachary was talking to Liberty, but his eyes were glued to Serenity.
“Thank you, Zachary.”
Zachary immediately replied, “Call me if you ever need help with any heavy lifting. I’ll be there.”
Liberty responded with a smile, “There’s not a lot of heavy labor. It’s cold outside today. Don’t just standthere. Come in and enjoy a hot drink before you leave.”
Zachary looked at Serenity, waiting for her to say something.
Liberty carried her son into the house.
Serenity followed right behind her, looking straight ahead while brushing past Zachary.
She stepped into the house and entered the kitchen.
Standing there, Zachary was overwhelmed with a feeling of disappointment. Serenity did not invite himinto the house for a hot beverage.
Serenity soon emerged from the kitchen with a glass in hand. The glass was filled with hot piping water.
She carried the glass of water out and put it down on the coffee table. It was boiling!
Serenity then said to her sister, “I’m going to go and get some rest, Liberty. I have work tomorrow.”
Turning on her heel, she went into her room without so much as giving Zachary a look.
Once Serenity shut the door behind her, Liberty turned to the spaced–out man.” Zachary, Seren pouredyou a drink. Why don’t you come in for a drink to warm up?”
“Oh.” Snapping out of his thoughts, Zachary quickly came in.
He turned his head in the direction of Serenity’s room.
Liberty said, “I wouldn’t bother if I were you. You won’t be living together with your wife any time soon.”
Zachary could not get used to the idea.
It took him some time to come to terms with sharing a bed with someone. Now that he had adapted towrapping his arms around his wife at night, Zachary was bound to have sleepless nights due to thesudden change of sleeping arrangements.
The nights were long.
Left alone in an empty bedroom, Zachary could only find companionship with his pillow.novelbin
Zachary took a seat on the couch. Since Sonny had always been fond of Zachary, he slipped out of hismother’s embrace and climbed up Zachary’s lap. Sonny sat down on Zachary’s lap.
“Uncle Zack.”
“Sonny.”
Zachary held the little guy with one hand and picked up the glass of water with the other. It did not takelong before Zachary put down the glass. It was scalding!
