Chapter 151
“I’m not saying you shouldn’t stand up for your sister, but once your sister and brother-in-law have a falling out, there’s no going back. I definitely support you in addressing the situation with him p>
Serenity grimly chewed her mushroom and responded, “You’re right. I’ll manage my temper and avoid resorting to violence, but I will still give him a warning. I don’t want the Browns to think they can bully my sister just because she lacks family support p>
Seeing that she took his advice to heart, Zachary decided to end the conversation there.
After they had finished eating, they lingered for a moment before leaving together.
Knowing that Serenity was concerned about her sister, Zachary took a detour to Liberty’s place so Serenity could check on her before he dropped her off at the shop.
Serenity felt grateful for his thoughtfulness.
She had promised herself not to get too attached to Zachary last night, but his kindness made her reconsider that decision.
Jasinine had mentioned that Zachary was a good guy and that Serenity should give their relationship a fair chance,
especially since they were still married. With only a month passed out of the agreed six months, she had five more months to develop feelings and potentially become a real couple.
She felt it was worth trying the relationship to avoid future regrets.
As Elisa suggested, she should pursue love. Even if it didn’t work out, at least she would have made the effort. Elisa would have no regrets even if she didn’t win Mr. York’s heart.
Spotting the miniature tree she had gifted Zachary, Serenity casually remarked, “You still have the miniature tree in the car p>
“I’ll place it on my desk when I get to the office later.” Serenity smiled. “Please recommend my work to others if anyone
“Sure,” Zachary said, happily agreeing to her request. He decided to ask Josh to order crafts from her online business, knowing that Josh would likely wonder why he was involved again. Serenity planned to visit her brother-in-law at the Browns’ residence later, but to her surprise, the Browns contacted her first. While on her way to work, she received a call from Jasmine, who informed her that Hank’s mother and sister were waiting for her at the shop.
It was fortunate that they sought her out, as it saved her the trip to the Browns’ home. Zachary asked, “Do you need my help p>
“I’m good. Only Hank’s mother and sister are at the shop. Women don’t usually get into serious fights; we might bicker a little. You don’t need to get involved with them; it’s beneath you,” she replied.
“Don’t worry, I can handle myself in an argument or a fight,” she added confidently. As an orphan with some rather ridiculous relatives, Serenity had grown up to be quite feisty, and as she claimed, she always emerged victorious in conflicts.
Zachary, being a cultured individual, wouldn’t pick a fight—verbally or physically—unless provoked. Since Serenity didn’t require his assistance, he dropped her off at the shop and headed to work. On the drive, he felt a bit down, noting that he was wearing the suit Serenity had bought for him. She hadn’t seemed to notice during their breakfast together or when he drove her to the shop.
With such a handsome husband by her side, he wondered why she wasn’t paying more attention to him. By the time Zachary arrived at the office, it was nine o’clock, and fortunately, Elisa was not there to obstruct his entrance. He left his miniature tree in the car since there weren’t many people around. Taking the elevator straight to the top floor, he encountered Josh as he stepped out. Josh had…
With a file of papers tucked under his elbow and a phone in his right hand for a call, Josh noticed Zachary and abandoned his attempt to make the call. “I have an urgent document that needs your signature. I assumed you weren’t coming to the office since I hadn’t seen you around,” he said.
Zachary explained softly, “I arrived late because I had to drive my wife to work p>
