Chapter 1231
Holding Serenity in his arms, Zachary lovingly uttered, “I can make time once I’m done with the tasks at hand. I’ll
take you to visit Ben and his wife. Ben carries his mom’s last name too.”
Zachary whispered in Serenity’s ear, “You’re the heroine of a book too, honey. Everybody wants to be you.”
Serenity nudged him away. He would always breathe hot air into her ear along with his whispers. The sensation
stirred activity in her loins and tempted her to jump him.
The couple returned to the home at Brynfield after delivering the eggs and poultry to Liberty.
Mrs. Lane was home.
She brought over the couple’s pets. She had been looking after the animals, and now she was back at Brynfield.
The moment the door was opened, Snowball came running wagging its tail.
Serenity was startled. At a closer look, she squatted and stroked Snowball’s head. She said to Zachary, “How did
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSnowball get so big?”
Zachary was not keen on little animals. He only allowed pets at home because he loved Serenity too much. He gave
Serenity Snowball and two cats when Serenity expressed her desire to have pets.
Snowball loved it when Serenity stroked its head. However, Zachary stood far away in case the fur got all over him.
“Mrs. Lane has really looked after them. The thing is getting fatter by the day.
“The cats are chonky too. The three of them look like the three little pigs.”
Rising to her feet, Serenity snapped back, “Snowball has a name. It’s not a thing. You’re not very nice to Snowball.”
Zachary pursed his lips. “Fine. It’s Snowball, not a thing.”
Mrs. Lane said hello to the couple with a smile.
“Put these in the freezer, Mrs. Lane.”
Zachary gave the prepped free–range chicken from his mother to Mrs. Lane.
Mrs. Lane took the bag for a look before remarking, “You bought a lot of chickens, sir.”
“I didn’t buy them. The missus bought them and left them to wander in the orchard.”
Mrs. Lane figured out what was up there and then.
Serenity brought Snowball over to sit with Zachary. Zachary gave Snowball a look. While Snowball could not take a
hint, Serenity could. She knew how much he disliked furry animals.
She patted Snowball’s head, gesturing the dog to go and rest.
Snowball turned around and walked away.
“Is Nana home yet?” Serenity asked.
“The old missus went with Mr. Kevin on his business trip to Jensburg.”
Serenity blinked. Why was Nana going on a business trip with Kevin at her age?
Jensburg?
Oh, that reminded her. The woman Nana picked out for Kevin was in Jensburg. The person was the oldest son of the
Queen Enterprise in Jensburg.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was clear as day the reason Grandma May went with Kevin to Jensburg.
The lack of response on Kevin’s part must have prompted the old lady to create an opportunity for Kevin to meet
with Hayden.
York Corporation owned two hotels and a commercial mall in Jensburg. Kevin oversaw the food and beverage side
of the family business and since the mall was just a short distance from the hotel, Kevin was also in charge of the
operation.
The Yorks operated five–star hotels, so Hayden must have been to the hotels before. There was no telling whether
she had met Kevin though.
“Why didn’t she tell us she was going away with Kevin?”
Serenity added, “I wanted to go along and join the fun too.”
She wanted to go with Grandma May and get the latest gossip about everybody.
Tilting his head, Zachary looked at his wife and tapped her forehead. He amusedly uttered, “Nana is a bad influence
on you.”
“Nana isn’t bad at all. She’s the world’s best grandmother.”
