Chapter 603

Serenity left her sister’s rented place and arrived home at half–past ten at night.

She opened the door to the pitch–dark house.

Was Nana not at home?

Was she asleep?

Serenity stepped into the house and turned on the light. She then closed and locked the door behind her. After much thought, she opened the door and grabbed a pair of Zachary’s loafers to put at the front door.

It was to show others that there was a man in the house.

It was a safety measure.

“You’re back, Ms. Hunt.”

Hearing the noise, Mrs. Lane came out of her bedroom.

“Yeah.” Serenity asked, “Is Nana asleep?”

“Old Mrs. York went back. Your brother–in–law picked her up. She thought you wouldn’t be home tonight, so she told me to inform you when you return tomorrow.”

Serenity was surprised. “Nana went home?”

Mrs. Lane replied, “Old Mrs. York said she moved in with you because she got into a fight with your husband. Now that they made up, she moved back to her house.”

She believed Old Mrs. York was afraid to be seen by the Stones, so the old lady brought forward the plan to move back to her place.

The missus would be hanging around the Stones a lot since it was confirmed that she was the niece of Mrs. Stone. Old Mrs. York would be staying away from the Stones until Mr. Zachary confessed the truth to the missus.

That was why Old Mrs. York had to flee.

“Oh,” Serenity answered.

She was under the impression that Nana had great fun living with her. It never occurred to Serenity that Nana would move back to her house so soon.

“Ms. Hunt, why didn’t you spend the night at your aunt’s place?”

Serenity drew close and took a seat on the sofa before replying, “We didn’t go through with dinner. My sister’s former mother–in–law and sister–in–law were at it again. We all ended up at the police station, so we canceled dinner. We’ll go to my aunt’s over the weekend.”

Mrs. Lane asked with concern, “Is your sister okay? Why wouldn’t the Browns just let your sister be?

She has separated from them.”

“They couldn’t stand getting nothing after my sister trashed the house. They thought they could bully my sister just because they were mean.”

Serenity sighed. “That family is the most pretentious family I’ve ever seen. Women need to know their partner’s family before walking down the aisle.”

Women needed to know what they were getting into, especially when it came to families like the Browns. The Browns hid their ugly nature for years before showing their true colors.

Mrs. Lane poured Serenity a glass of water before sitting opposite Serenity. She said, Human emotions are fleeting. They can fall in and out of love easily. Your sister doesn’t have her head in the clouds and is a decisive woman. She didn’t cling onto the guy and chose to divorce.

“Even so, it was a messy divorce.”

Leaning back against the sofa, Serenity asked, “Mrs. Lane, you have years under your belt. You must have seen it all. What do you think about my husband? Will he end up like Hank? He’s good to me now, but Hank was good to my sister back then too.

“And I’m talking real good. Hank would give his heart to my sister, but now… You’re right. Human emotions are fleeting. I wonder if my husband’s feelings for me will ever change. I won’t bother to argue and will go straight to divorce if he cheats on me like Hank did. I’d rather give him to the other woman.”

She believed her man would be tainted if he was touched by another person.

She believed her man would be tainted too if he touched another person.

Serenity would not fight and would readily escape the marriage the moment Zachary had an affair.
