Chapter 310
Zachary sat outside for a while before preparing to return to work. Serenity emerged from the kitchen after washing the dishes. Noticing that he was about to leave, Serenity walked with him to his car.
Remaining quiet, Zachary retrieved an envelope from his car and turned to hand it to Serenity. In a husky voice, he said, “It’s all in here p>
Serenity accepted the evidence of Hank’s infidelity, planning to thank him once more. However, when she looked into his deep, dark eyes and noticed the people around them, she decided against it.
“Be careful on the road. Send me a text when you get to the office so I know you arrived safely p>
Zachary pressed his lips together and grunted his acknowledgment.
After getting into the car, he cast her a lingering look before driving away.
Serenity stood there, watching his car speed off, sensing that something had shifted between them.
It felt a bit like love.

Perhaps she should stop hiding in her shell. She might consider sticking her head out and giving love another chance.
There was still time since the six-month agreement hadn’t expired.
With that thought, Serenity took out her phone and sent a text to Zachary.
Serenity: [I wanted to kiss you just now, but I chickened out because there were people on the street p>
She didn’t receive an immediate response after hitting send.
Serenity paused momentarily before returning the envelope to the shop.
Sonny was asleep in his mother’s arms.
Jasmine was enjoying cuddles with the two kittens when Serenity walked back into the shop. She asked, “Has your man left p>
“Yeah. His lunch break is over. His work can get hectic, and he often comes home at midnight p>
Zachary gifted her two ragdoll kittens all at once. Honestly, he was incredibly generous to her. The dog was adorable as well. Now that Serenity was a pet owner, she needed to place an online order for dog food later.
“Liberty, there’s a cot over there. Let Sonny take a nap there for a bit so you don’t have to hold him,” Serenity suggested. She picked up her nephew and handed over an envelope, saying, “Zachary asked a friend to gather evidence of Hank’s affair p>
The envelope felt heavy in Liberty’s hands.
**Chapter 11 p>
Taking a few deep breaths, Liberty reached into the envelope and pulled out the photographs inside. Along with the photos, there was information on the mistress and photocopies of Hank’s gift receipts to her. The pictures and the prices of the gifts were also printed on paper.
Liberty examined the photographs one by one. Although they contained nothing overtly sexual, they depicted an intimate connection, like lovebirds. The images burned in Liberty’s eyes. The other woman appeared to be around Serenity’s age. She was beautiful, slender, and attractive—exactly the type of person men would desire as a lover.
Jessica Yates! That was the mistress’s name. The gift receipts and photographs were a painful sight. Liberty found the situation ironic. She had quit her job to become a housewife, to give Hank a child, and to manage the household efficiently. Yet, Hank accused her of doing nothing all day. He only provided her with three thousand dollars for living expenses, insisting that she wasted the money. He even insisted on splitting expenses with her.
It had been a long time since he had given her anything. Hank was only willing to contribute twelve hundred dollars for their son’s formula. However,
He selected the most expensive items for Jessica, with the least expensive pair of earrings costing several thousand dollars. “Liberty,” Serenity exclaimed in concern.
