Chapter 543
Married at First Sight
Serenity carried her sleeping nephew while asking her sister, âHave you eaten, Liberty?â âNot yet. I came right after feeding Sonny. Iâm pretty done with all the packing. Iâll need to trouble you to drive over and move my things once the divorce is finalized, Seren.
âI found a good place to rent this morning. Itâs not too far from your place, and the accessibility of public transportation is pretty good in the area. The problem is tidying up the place though. Iâll figure that out once I get the procedures done and out of the way.â The matter at hand right now was getting the divorce finalized.
Hopefully, there would be no complications in between.
âHave something to eat and rest here, Liberty. Iâll drive you to the bank to meet with Hank. Iâll stay with you until he wires the cash to your account, and then Iâll come back to the shop.â
Grandma May jumped in before Liberty could refuse. âLet Serenity go with you, Liberty. We canât feel at ease if you go alone. That family is shameless. Who knows what tricks theyâre going to pull again?â
The old lady then turned to Serenity. âSeren, drive your sister to the family court once she gets the agreed assets. You need to keep an eye out for the Browns. Some people will resort to violence during a divorce.â
âYou know kickboxing, so you should go along. Youâll get peace of mind, and so will we.â
âIâll go with your suggestion, Grandma May.â Serenity wanted to be with her sister all the way, but Liberty would not let her. Now that Grandma May spoke up, Liberty would not refuse out of reverence for the elders and comply with Grandma Mayâs proposal.
With that, Serenity put her nephew to rest on a sofa bed.
Jasinine and Mrs. Lane went into the kitchen to bring out the cooked food.
âSorry to bother you.â
A voice intruded.
Interrupted from digging into their meals, the lot turned to the shop entrance and saw the lobby manager of Wiltspoon Hotel. Mr Zen carried a few packed dishes into the shop and placed them on the dining table. He smiled at Serenity and said, âHere I am again, Ms. Hunt. Mr. York called and ordered a few dishes to be delivered to you.â
While talking, he pulled out the food container from the bag and opened the lid of each container to display the food on the table. Serenity expressed her gratitude with a smile, âThank you for coming all this way.â
âItâs not trouble at all.â
Mr Zen believed it was his honor to run errands for Mr. Zachary Most importantly, he got to show his face around the missus.
Anyone well acquainted with Mr. Zachary would know that he was an indifferent man. However, the person close to Mr. Zacharyâs heart must be the love of his life.
For Serenity to be that person, Mr. Zen had to make himself known in the missusâs presence. It would come in handy more than sucking up to Mr. Zachary.
âUm⦠I should leave you to your lunch.â
Instead of sticking around, Mr. Zen said with a grin before nodding at Grandma May. He then turned on his heel and took off.
Serenity courteously walked with him for a while and saw him off. She quickly whipped out her phone to send a thank-you message to Zachary together with a kissing emoji. Zachary was pleased to receive the text message from his wife. During lunch, Serenity uttered, âLiberty, Iâve discussed with Zachary and told him to hire a dozen strong men to wait outside your residential building. Once the divorce papers go through, theyâll get right to moving you out and demolishing the renovations.â Liberty answered merrily, âI was stressing about where to hire people to wreck the place.â At first, Grandma May wanted to volunteer her grandsons to help with the demolishing. However, considering that it was not the weekend today and year-end was around the corner, Grandma May did not want to take her grandsons out of their busy schedules to help out.
Since Serenity had talked with Zachary beforehand, Grandma May decided to stay out of it. Jasmine chimed in, âSerenity, did Mr. York hire enough hands on deck? I can call my cousins to join in if you could use more help. âAlso, do you want to let Elisa in on this? Sheâs going to tell you off for not including her in the fun.â
If Elisa was here, she would commend Jasmine on being a good friend! Jasmine never excluded her in all the fun.
