Chapter 233
“Zachary! Zachary…” Elisa ran after Zachary’s car for a few steps before giving up. He adamantly refused to let her into his vehicle. Even if she lay under his wheels, he would not stop, instead choosing to send her to the afterlife. As she watched his car, along with his entourage of bodyguards, drive away, she stomped her feet in frustration.
She had arrived early that morning to block his path, a plan that had succeeded, but his only response was to help her a little. His bodyguards had moved her car to the side of the road, preventing it from obstructing oncoming traffic.
Still, she felt upset about not being able to ride in his car.
Of course, she was determined not to give up easily. Half a year was too short a time to surrender. It hadn’t been long since her public confession. Just hang in there! One day, she would sit in his car, and she would be the only young woman allowed to do so. Daydreaming about this improved Elisa’s mood, and she called her butler to arrange for a car to pick her up.
“Are the seafood I brought back last night still alive? They’re not dead, right? If they’re still fresh, please pack them up and send them over. I want to give them away.” Elisa recalled that she had promised Serenity to send her some seafood after her vacation.
She had specially brought back a substantial amount of seafood from Seaview Villa.
Elisa’s parents were aware of her friendship with Serenity, and they did not look down on her for befriending someone they perceived as unworthy. On the contrary, they fully supported her connection with Serenity, perhaps because she had too few friends.
Her parents believed that given Elisa’s discerning tastes, if she was willing to befriend someone, that person must be an exceptional girl.
When Elisa decided to bring back the abundant seafood for Serenity, Audrey had even
Personally, she assisted her daughter in packing. Audrey had never met Serenity, either in person or through online images. However, when she saw the maneki-neko that Serenity had given her daughter, she felt a strong sense of capability in Serenity. Additionally, after learning about Serenity’s life experiences, she developed a special fondness for this strong and independent young woman. It was likely because she recognized a reflection of her own youth in Serenity.
When she left the orphanage, Audrey also had to be self-reliant and work hard to reach her current position. Unfortunately, unlike Serenity and her sister, who had always been together, she and her sister had been separated. Serenity was unaware that Elisa had returned from vacation and had actually blocked Zachary’s path, just as she had taught Elisa to do.
The couple was living apart due to a cold war, with Zachary staying at Regent Residences. This situation allowed Elisa the chance to block his car. Liberty had to search for a job again today. Serenity woke up late and, unable to wait for her to pick up Sonny, Liberty took him directly to the shop. Thankfully, she called her sister to inform her that she had already sent Sonny to the shop.
Serenity was on her way to Liberty’s house when she received the call and promptly turned around to go to the store instead. Old Mrs. York had not arrived before her; in fact, she got to the store after Serenity did. Old Mrs. York considered visiting Serenity for a chat, so she used a car that would align with Zachary’s facade of being financially strained. She purchased a preowned vehicle from the used car market for tens of thousands of dollars, ensuring it wouldn’t raise Serenity’s suspicions.
“Nana,” Serenity called out as she held Sonny and walked over to help Old Mrs. York open the car door. The elderly woman emerged with three insulated lunch boxes. Serenity offered to help, but the old woman laughed.
She said, “No need. They aren’t heavy, so I can carry them. Why is Sonny here? Where’s your sister p>
Old Mrs. York reached out to pinch Sonny’s chubby cheeks, exclaiming, “Your sister has done a wonderful job raising Sonny. He’s big and strong.” When would she have a plump great-grandson like Sonny?
