Chapter 693
After unlocking the gate, Zachary got back into the car and started the engine. He drove into the villa
compound and parked on the empty driveway.
He replied without Serenity pressing for answers. “My parents and Nana prefer living in the old
residence and away from the bustle. They’re used to the place because they have been there for
decades. They prefer their peace away from us kids. Nana would stay with us for a few days and
disappear somewhere else.”
Serenity concurred, “Yeah. Sounds like it.”
She got out of the car and strolled around the front lawn.
The landscape was great. The estate had a front lawn and backyard. There was a swimming pool,
some pruned trees, and a pergola in the front. The tree near the pergola had a swing installed onto the
branch. It was perfect to enjoy a good book or the view while sitting there.
The backyard was lush with scenic and fruit trees. There were homegrown Wiltspoonian trees like
shoppingmode apple and mango trees.
Serenity observed the open space in the middle of the backyard, contemplating growing fruits and
vegetables on the vacant lot.
She blurted out the idea she had in mind.
Zachary said with a smile, “I don’t have time to garden. You’re the lady of the house. You can grow
whatever you want. I don’t have a problem with how you use the land.”
Truth be told, the gardener cleared the land to grow roses.
Since he wanted to let Serenity know about the villa, Zachary informed the butler to move everybody to
the other villa during his time in the hospital while Serenity was not around. The gardener cleared the
land for Serenity to have her dream garden.
The swing by the pergola was installed hastily at the last minute.
Serenity would enjoy taking in the view from the swing.
“The place is a little far from our workplaces. I’ll forget about it for now.”
Serenity believed the apartment in Brynfield was more accessible.
They could come over to stay at a villa every once in a while for short breaks.
“We have cars, so we can drive here after work. It’s quieter than Brynfield. A lot of our neighbors are
families with kids. We can hear the angry screams of moms upstairs and downstairs, tutoring their
children on homework.”
Serenity responded with a grin, “Don’t complain about the noise. You’ll know how it feels when you
have to help your child with homework.”
Zachary confidently uttered, “I’m a mellow man. I’ll hold my ground even when I have to help my childnovelbin
with homework. I won’t yell at them. What’s the point of screaming? Will screaming help if they don’t
know how to do their homework?”
Serenity gave him a skeptical look.
“You always get ahead of yourself but look where you end up. You’re in charge of homework when we
have a child at school age. I’ll take care of the house chores, so you can unleash your mellow energy
and hold your ground.”
Turning on her heel, she walked away.
Zachary caught up to her and put his arm around her shoulder before chuckling.” Let’s go into the
house and make babies. Otherwise, you can’t verify that I can hold my ground when helping our kid
with homework.”
Before he could help their child with homework, they must first have a child.
“You haven’t been living here for a while now. Is the kitchen usable?”
“It’s been a while, but my mom will hire a few cleaners to tidy up the place in two days and stock up the
fridge, so I can come back and make my own meals.”
Serenity had no reason to suspect Zachary was lying.
The way she saw it, many mothers would fuss over their children’s daily lives.
Hank was an example. Her sister took care of basic needs after marriage while his mother would check
in on Hank every now and then as if Liberty would do a bad job.
“Let’s have dinner and a stroll after that.”
Zachary remarked, “But I want to eat you up now, Seren.”
Serenity pouted. “What’s the rush? Can’t you take me around to get familiar with the place?”
