Chapter 857
Married at First Sight
Grandma May patted his shoulder. âGo get her! You have my moral support in chasing after your wife!â
Zachary said, âNana, I sense the sarcasm in your tone.â
Grandma Mayâs eyes twinkled, but she denied it and said, âDo you, now? How am I being sarcastic?â
âI said before that I wonât pursue my wifeâ¦â
âAh, now that youâve reminded me, you did indeed mention⦠Either way, havenât you been eating your
words recently? Once you get used to it, nothing would come as a surprise anymore the more you eat
your words.â
Zachary was speechless.
Was she his nana or not?
After bickering with Nana and listening to her reminisce about the past he was not privy to, Zachary
somewhat understood why she insisted that he marry Serenity.
It was because of his grandfatherâs last words and that nameless fortuneâteller, who said that Serenity
and he were destined to be husband and wife, so his nana stubbornly insisted on him marrying
Serenity.
Of course, Zachary was grateful to that fortuneâteller now.
If he had not fallen in love with Serenity, he would have smashed that fortuneâtellerâs stall.
Meanwhile, Serenity left Zacharyâs villa with Liberty and first returned to the house in Brynfield. She
initially wanted to pack up all her belongings and leave, but after a second thought, she only took a few
sets of fresh clothes and moved into her sisterâs place.
She left the two cats and one dog behind and called Mrs. Lane to send the pets back to Zachary since
he gave them to her.
When Mrs. Lane sent the pets to Zachary, he looked at the three furries, which had been fattened up
for a long time, and said, âThe missus doesnât have time to take care of them for the time being. Mrs.
Lane, youâre familiar with them, so youâre responsible for taking care of them until the missus returns.
âTake care of the flowers on the balcony as well. Theyâre Serenâs favorite.â
Mrs. Lane complied respectfully.
As she was preparing to leave with the pets, Zachary added, âDonât let Snowball eat too much. Itâs as
round as a ball now.â
Mrs. Lane was speechless, but said agreeably, âYes, sir.â
In fact, Mrs. Lane was the main caretaker of the pets after they were delivered to Serenity. She thought
she had to feed the pets well since they were given by Mr. Zachary to his wife. However, she ended up
feeding the dog until it became as round as a ball, causing its master to disdain it for being chonky.
Meanwhile, Serenity was sleeping at her sisterâs place.
Liberty knew Serenity was not feeling well, so she did not bother her sister and let her be a little pig at
home all day.
Liberty was also relieved after fetching her sister home from Zacharyâs place. She could not neglect her
store, which was currently being renovated, so she took off to work with Sonny after saying a word or
two to Serenity.
Her busyness kept her from home until it was dark.
Unexpectedly, Hank was in front of the building again.
Liberty, who was pushing her eâbike, wanted to crash it into him.
âDonât look at me like Iâm an enemy. I came over to tell you something.â
Hank disliked Libertyâs current attitude toward him.
Liberty was nice to him in the past. Even if they were divorced, they still had a son together. Did she
have to look at him so coldly every time she saw him?
âWhat is it?â Liberty asked coldly.
