Chapter 1167
Married at First Sight
Serenity took a ride in her manâs Roll Royce to the shop.
She had just collected the craft goods from the crafters she hired. After examining the quality, Serenity complimented her employees on a good job and paid them based on the agreed rate.
âSerenity, itâs good money since weâre only working on crafts when we take a break from caring for the kids. Our families are pretty supportive. You know what? My motherâinâlaw stopped giving me an attitude.â
âMe too. My motherâinâlaw is now looking after my child for me. I was shocked that she was happy to do it for me. Serenity, you can accept more orders. We are more than able to finish the task.â
They ventured into the world of crafting together. Although there had not been a lot of contact among the ladies, they had always kept in touch. The ladies were well aware of Serenityâs position in society now too.
Of course, they were envious.
However, Serenity gave them a job and paid every time they handed in the crafts. It was a lucrative job for stayâatâhome mothers like them.
If that was not enough, their boss was Mrs. York.
Their inâlaws were nicer to them, knowing that they were working for Mrs. York but it was mainly because they could contribute financially to the family.
Serenity uttered with a smile, âI had a pile of orders to fulfill before the new year, and the pile built up after I hurt my hand. It was a good thing you ladies came to save the day. Iâll bring you more supplies and the sample products of the orders.â
âSure, sure.â
The lot was over the moon to get immediate payment after delivering the goods.
Serenity got the materials ready and distributed them to the ladies before seeing them out. She then contacted the courier service to pick up the items. The orders could finally be dispatched to the customers.
Once she made the phone call, Serenity received a call from her sister.
âLiberty.â
âAunt Ser.â
Sonny took the phone from his mother the moment the line was connected. His voice could be heard over the phone. âIâm Sonny, Aunt Ser.â
Serenity answered with a smile, âI know I recognize that voice. Do you miss me? I told your Aunt Elisa to pick you up on her way here.â
Since Elisa said she was coming in the morning, Serenity asked if she could do the pickâup to save Serenity the trip.
Elisa was happy to do it.
âAunt Ser, Dad is taking me and Mom to the zoo. A lot of people are going. Do you want to come, Aunt Ser?â Sonny asked Serenity.
Hearing that Aunt Elisa was picking him up, he told Serenity, âI should ask Aunt Elisa if she wants to join us too.â
Hank was at a loss for words.
All he wanted was to take his son to the zoo and have a nice fatherâandâson day out, not a group trip.
Never mind his mom called his sisterâs family to come along, but Sonny was asking his aunt and Ms.
Stone for the trip too.
How was he supposed to bond with Sonny?
Jessica scowled.
She had no problems with Serenity coming along. In fact, Jessica was delighted as Serenity would rescue Sonny at all costs. Those people could lure Serenity to see that mystery woman.
In return, Jessica would complete the mission and save her family.
Nevertheless, Jessica was displeased that Sonny wanted to add Elisa to the mix.
Elisa came from a prominent family. Even if Ms. Stone was without security when out and about, the woman was not one to be messed with.
Jessica was irritated. Although her family was fine right now, Jessica knew that they were being watched. A chunk of her motherâs hair was chopped off because those people barged into her motherâs home in broad daylight and subdued her mother to cut her hair.
She had asked her mother who these people were, and the answer was that they were big men in black masks and sunglasses. Mrs. Yates could not get a look at their faces, and everything happened so fast. Before she knew it, Mrs. Yates had lost a chunk of her hair. The group of men then swiftly left.
