Female Novel
Chapter 2009
Jasmine chuckled.
Her best friend had Zachary wrapped around her finger, but Zachary had Seren wrapped around his
too.
It was because the husband and wife had a good relationship. Without love, they could not have
influenced one another.
Serenity cleared her throat before picking up Zachary’s call.
“Babe.”
She deliberately made her voice cuter and addressed him.
On the other end of the call, Zachary’s hand trembled. His phone almost dropped to the ground.
He thought he had called the wrong person. After moving his phone away from his ear and taking a
look, he verified that he was indeed calling his wife.
He placed the phone by his ear again and asked Serenity with a laugh, “What bad deed have you done
that you don’t wish for me to find out? Or did you badmouth me behind my back?”
“Nothing. I just miss you. Did your bones tingle from me calling you like that? Or did you dislike it?”
Zachary smiled and said, “I was startled and thought I dialed the wrong number. You must’ve been
badmouthing me behind my back and were interrupted by my call. You called me in such a cute way
because you felt guilty. Otherwise, you would’ve just called me Zachary. You usually call me that.”
“No. I really didn’t. What do you want to tell me, babe?”
The guilty Serenity quickly changed the topic and asked Zachary why he called.
“Can’t I call you because I miss you? You’re at the bookstore, right?”
“Yup. I just got here.”
Zachary asked whether Jasmine was present as well. He only got to the point after obtaining a reply.
He told Serenity, “Kevin called me just now and told me something. I didn’t want to tell you about it, but
I can’t bypass you. I’ll let you know, but you mustn’t meddle in this. Leave it to Aunt Audrey to deal with
it.”
“What trouble is it that requires Aunt Audrey to handle it?” Serenity asked out of curiosity.
Zachary informed Serenity about the Fisher family.
After hearing everything, Serenity was stunned for some time before snapping back to her senses. She
said, “I’ll look for Aunt Audrey later to discuss this with her. She was already a few years old back then
and will most probably have memories of it.”novelbin
“Yeah, just mention this matter to her. She’ll take care of it.”
“Okay.”
Serenity knew the issue had to be handled by Aunt Audrey too. Her mother had passed away, and she
and her sister had no clue about their mother’s identity. They only knew she had a sister, and her
parents and family were dead.
They never thought their mother’s family had been killed in a scheme.
Did wealthy families really plot and fight against each other all day?
How good was it to just be like the Yorks and the Johnsons? Everyone got along well. They did not
fight for power and money. They even feared the position of the family head and avoided it like the
plague.
Serenity thought being the head of a big family was tiring as well.
They were like Zachary, heading out early in the morning and only returning home late at night. They
worked like a bull.
They always slept late and woke up early as well. It was not as laid-back of a position as everyone
thought.
Zachary only reduced his workload after getting married.
When he had just married, he often returned home only around midnight. Serenity still remembered
that she once locked the doors after returning home late at night. It had caused Zachary, who came
back later than she did, to be unable to enter the house. He got furious that night.
After ending the call, Serenity put down the phone.
Jasmine saw her serious expression. The call lasted for quite some time too. She asked out of
concern, “What happened?”
“It’s related to my mom’s identity.”
“What is it? Aren’t your mom and Mrs. Stone sisters? Didn’t you and Mrs. Stone undergo a DNA test? It
proved that you two were related by blood.”
