Chapter 262

Stuart Hunt was the boss of the family. At this time, he came forward and sized up Zachary. Forcing a smile, he asked politely, “Are you Serenity’s husband? I’m her oldest uncle, Stuart. Hello.”

Zachary glanced at the group of Hunts and said icily, “What are all of you doing here in the middle of the night? Are you trying to frighten my wife to death? I’m warning you, my wife is timid. She can’t suffer frights like that.”

The Hunts were speechless.

Serenity, timid?

If she was considered timid, there were no brave people left on earth.

Although Serenity knew he was taking her side in front of outsiders, hearing him call her his wife still felt somewhat strange to her.

Hmm. Maybe because theirs was a marriage of convenience and was not the type that involved feelings, they were unable to be as intimate as regular couples were.

“W–we’re just here to see Serenity. After my younger brother and his wife passed away, Serenity and her sister became distant from us. We haven’t met for a long time, so now that we’re in the city and after finding out Serenity was here, we came over to see if she’s doing well.”

Stuart Hunt lied with a straight face. He was so shameless that Zachary felt Elisa Stone had to be bumped down to second place.

If Elisa Stone heard this, she would have said, “Mr. York, it’s fine if you don’t love me, but don’t insult me by putting me and trash like this in the same running.”

“Just now, I heard someone yelling at the top of their lungs, ‘Serenity! Get out here, you dam brat!‘.

With that tone, it sounded more like that person was coming to settle some scores pick a fight.”

When Zachary took things seriously, a regular person was not his opponent at all.

Stuart Hunt smiled embarrassedly and said, “I heard your surname is York? Mr. York, you might have misheard.”

The other Hunts remained silent.

“I heard you loud and clear. There are security cameras in the shop too. Shall I show you gu the recording?”
