Duncan and Serenity did not have a lot in common to talk about. With Serenity here, Duncan could not have a private moment with Liberty. After Liberty made him his order, customers started coming into the diner. Nevertheless, the menu items ordered were already made in advance, so the workers could serve the customers without needing the boss to be in the kitchen. Liberty went back to her spot and continued her breakfast. “Duncan.” The voice made Duncan lose his appetite. Liberty and Serenity turned their heads and watched a beautiful woman walk through the opened glass door. Serenity did not recognize Lily, but Liberty had seen a picture of Lily before. Liberty thought Lily looked better in person than in the picture. Lily made a good match with Duncan. “Ms. Harmon, would you like something to eat?” Liberty put down her utensils and got up to serve the customer. Lily moved her gaze from Duncan to Liberty. She had observed Liberty a few times in the dark, and this w

While it was a cooking spree at Liberty’s diner, Zachary woke up back at home and as always before opening his eyes, he turned to his side and reached out to hold his wife. Alas, all he grabbed was air. Zachary opened his eyes. Serenity was no longer in the room. He looked at the sky outside. The sun was high. Turning over, Zachary grabbed his phone on the bedside table to look at the time. “Nine o’clock?!”He jolted up. Even during the weekend, Zachary had never gotten up this late. Maybe he came home a little too late last night. Zachary washed up and got dressed in record time. He even picked an outfit Serenity had bought for him. He opened the bedroom door to find Mrs. Lane watching TV on the sofa with a cat on her lap. With the door swinging open, Mrs. Lane cocked her head to look at him. She then rose to her feet and said with a smile, “You’re awake, Mr. Zachary. Should I get a start on breakfast?” “It’s after nine now.” Zachary mumbled as he walked out of

“When’s Nana coming back? I miss her so much.”Serenity missed the days when the old woman lived with them.Mrs. Lane said, “It was too late by the time I wanted to remind you. You already pushed the door and went in.”Serenity sighed again. “I’ll go wash my hands.”She washed her hands twice with antibacterial soap and went back to the room where she used to sleep. She then took a set of clean clothes from the closet and changed before she re-entered the master bedroom.“Babe, I washed my hands twice with antibacterial soap and changed my clothes too. There won’t be a single cat fur on my body.”Serenity walked behind Zachary and reached out to encircle his waist.“I’m sorry, okay? I really just forgot that I was holding the cat. In fact, they’re really cute, and you were the one who gave them to me. I treasure everything that you give me. You said you’d treasure it even if I gave you grass, and it’s the same for me. I’ll treasure whatever you give me.”Zachary did not turn ar

Serenity once again sighed at her fortune. Although the man she married liked to throw tantrums, he was very good to her. He never raised his hand against her, and she did not have to worry about him cheating on her.More importantly, his family was great. Having open-minded and tolerant in-laws like the Yorks was rare among wealthy and influential families.She remembered Grandma May saying that since Serenity saved her life, she would never introduce a bad grandson to Serenity.In fact, all of her grandsons were exceptional.Zachary was just the oldest and thought to be the most exceptional by his elders.“Mrs. Lewis already helped pick a wife candidate for Mr. Lewis. Her name is Ms. Lily Harmon. She’s young and beautiful, but she also seems to be smart and competent. I could tell at a glance that she was an experienced person. The self-confidence and nobility that emanates from her gestures show that she came from a wealthy background. Furthermore, she must be good if she could

“If it’s something you like, I’ll do my best to satisfy you as long as it’s within the scope of what I can tolerate. Don’t thank me. I don’t like to hear you thank me. If you really want to thank me, give me something practical.”Serenity laughed. “You don’t lack anything, and I wholly belong to you. What else can I give you?”Zachary liked what she had just said very much.Ring, ring, ring…Serenity’s phone rang.When she took out her phone to look at the caller ID, she excitedly answered the call.Zachary tried to guess who the person calling was. Why was Serenity so eager to answer their call?Was she also this excited whenever he called her?Zachary tended to be jealous of her loved ones and compared himself to them. He hoped that in the end, she would consider him to be the most significant.“Nana.”Serenity did not know that the man beside her was being jealous because she answered the phone so quickly.The call was from Grandma May.When Zachary heard Serenity’s gree
