Chapter 758
Jim reminded Mr. Zachary of an important date. Since Mr. Zachary wasn’t paying attention to his wife at the time, the security team had to remember the wife’s name for him. As a result, Jim and his team frequently needed to remind Mr. Zachary of various details.
Jim didn’t expect Mr. Zachary to remember significant occasions like their wedding anniversary. Mr. Zachary lacked any sense of romance.
Zachary inquired, “Are you certain it’s October 10th p>
“I remember it because of the same digits,” Jim replied.
This made sense to Zachary once he considered it.
“A quick look at the marriage license should confirm that,” he said.
Noticing that Zachary was in a better mood, Jim took a chance and asked, “Sir, do you plan on surprising your wife p>
“Do you expect me to throw you a surprise as well?” Zachary retorted.
Jim chuckled, “I’ll probably get more of a fright than a surprise, Sir p>
Zachary shot him a warning glare, prompting Jim to bite his tongue.
Meanwhile, since Serenity hadn’t received any word about Zachary’s return, she decided to go Christmas shopping with her sister.
Zachary planned to bring Serenity back to his family home for New Year’s, so Serenity needed to prepare gifts for her in-laws. It was the polite thing to do.
“I’m not sure what they like, Liberty, but I can get some ideas based on what you used to give Hank’s parents,” Serenity said.
Having only each other for years, Serenity had witnessed her sister’s relationship with Hank from beginning to end, and she was familiar with the gifts Liberty typically gave to her in-laws for Christmas.
Liberty agreed, “That sounds good p>
In the past, she had given Hank and his parents many expensive gifts.
Although Hank was stingy with Liberty, he was quite generous with his family. He would lash out at Liberty if she didn’t give them gifts.
“Dad. Dad.” Sonny shouted joyfully from his seat in the shopping cart.
“Mom, Dad.” He called for Hank, then turned to Liberty, even pointing him out to her.
Upon hearing Sonny’s calls, Hank noticed Liberty and her sister and felt the urge to approach them. However, Jessica immediately pulled him back.
“What are you doing? Can’t you keep it together just because you saw your ex-wife?” Jessica whispered in Hank’s ear before redirecting her attention to Liberty and her sister.
Liberty had been following her weight loss program diligently and had recently lost another ten pounds. Although she still weighed a hundred seventy pounds and was considered plump, shedding thirty pounds had visibly transformed her appearance.
Seeing Liberty slim down reminded Jessica of the office gossip that Liberty had once been stunningly beautiful before her marriage, a fact evident in Sonny’s good looks, which he inherited from his mother.
Liberty had neglected her figure after getting married and had gained weight, which detracted from her attractive features. Jessica wondered if Hank might reignite his feelings for Liberty if she successfully lost more weight and regained her former appearance.
Jessica worried that her future mother-in-law and sister-in-law would praise Liberty while belittling her, fearing that Hank would return to his ex-wife.
Liberty had once been a remarkable woman.
“What are you saying, Jessica? I was just going over there to see my son. Sonny is my son, you know,” Hank replied helplessly.
“Jessica, I got a divorce and gave up my custody rights for you. Can’t I just give him a hug now that he’s here p>
Hank used to see Jessica as sensible and understanding, but now he found her increasingly paranoid and overly concerned.
