Chapter 1114
Married at First Sight
It never occurred to Serenity that Mr. York turned out to be her husband.
âSeren, itâs all in the past. I quit daydreaming the moment he saw me as his cousin-in-law. He has done a lot for you but never anything for me. He wouldnât even talk to me in the past.â
Serenity was not the only reason Elisa could get over Zachary. Elisa was able to tell that Zachary had no feelings for her as he only had eyes for Serenity.
âCome to think of it, my best friend shares a similar experience with you except their roles were reversed-she took Zacharyâs role. She hid her identity when she was together with her boyfriend, but the guy left her for someone rich. Apparently, the new girl had money and connections, so he didnât need to work as hard to advance in his career.â
Serenity remarked, âShe should be relieved that she saw the manâs true colors before they got married.â
âThatâs what I told her too.â
Elisa grabbed her car keys. âI got to go, Seren. Do you have time to draft the contract? If not, I can get my brotherâs secretary to do it for us. I canât be bothered with this. I spent the whole night on the business proposal last time.â
âIâll do it.â
Serenity took on the responsibility since she could not put everything on Elisaâs shoulders.
This was an investment project among the three of them. There were certain things she needed to handle herself for the sake of gaining experience.
âIâll pick you up in the evening for the social event.â
âSure,â Serenity happily answered while walking Elisa out. Once Elisa was gone, she returned to the shop and helped Jasmine with lunch.
Not too long later, the students flocked into the shop as school was out.
The pair paused making lunch and attended to their trade.
Liberty came with Sonny at noon.
She operated a breakfast diner, so she only worked half the day. Still, Liberty was tired from waking up early in the morning.
âSeren, have you made lunch?â Liberty asked, seeing that her sister and Jasmine were occupied.
âThe appetizer is ready. We havenât had time to make toppings for the dish.â
âIâll make them.â
Liberty told her son to entertain himself behind the cash register while she went into the kitchen to cook.
After Serenity was done scanning books for two students, and the parent made the payment, Serenity asked, âWhereâs Mrs. Lane?â
âShe went home to have lunch. Business has been great in the last two days. Iâll put out a sign to hire tomorrow, Seren. I plan to employ one person. That way, Mrs. Lane can come back and help you.â
Liberty replied as she made her way into the kitchen to cook.
Serenity had no problems with her sisterâs decision to bring someone on board her business. She always believed that her sister would excel in anything she put her mind to.
All You Can Eat would become the best restaurant on the street.
Her sister would become the prettiest restaurant owner.
Liberty served a portion for her son to start eating when the shop mellowed down.
She also helped out until all customers had left the store before they had their lunch together.
After lunch, Serenity said, âI need to tell you something, Liberty.â
Rocking Sonny to sleep, Liberty lifted her chin and looked at her sister before uttering with a smile, âDo tell.â
âI was stopped in the middle of the road last night, and the car was trashed.
âWhat!â
Liberty and Jasmine exclaimed in shock. They asked in unison, âAre you alright?â
