Chapter 768

Hank uttered in disdain, “She’s still a fat cow no matter how many pounds she drops. I want to throw up just looking at her.”

He put one hand on Jessica’s lap. “You’re the best, Jessica. I love you the most.”

Jessica smiled in delight.

Liberty had nothing on her!

While on the way home with her sister, Serenity had to bring up Duncan to her sister,” Liberty, I think the universe is putting you two together. You’re always running into him. I mean, he was driving by when he saw you and Sonny.”

Liberty burst into laughter. “That’s just a coincidence, Seren. Mr. Lewis is fond of Sonny.

“Honestly, I have my apprehensions running into Mr. Lewis.”

“It’s true that Mr. Lewis takes a shine to Sonny. I was at an Italian place with Jasmine when we met Zachary and Mr. Bucham buying Mr. Lewis dinner. I can’t believe the three of them were in the humble restaurant. We later had dinner together.

“Mr. Lewis asked why I hadn’t brought you and Sonny along.”

Liberty replied, “Mr. Lewis may look broad and callous, but he’s sensible and a real softie.”

That was why he took to Sonny.

Ring, ring, ring…

Serenity’s phone rang.

Seeing that it was Zachary, Serenity said, “Your darling brother–in–law is calling me, Liberty. He’s been away for three days now. This is the first time he’s giving me a call.”

“Did you take the initiative to call him? He’s away on important business. You had nothing to do at home. All you did was take Sonny out to shop and dine with Jasmine. You took Sonny out and about, and now the boy has the travel bug.

“You didn’t try to phone Zachary and show him concern. Did you ask him if he can make it back for Christmas and New Year?”

“He said he’ll be back in time for the festive holidays.”

Serenity said as she tapped to put the call on speaker.

“Where are you now, Seren?”

Zachary knew Serenity was out the moment the line was connected. He could hear the engine running.

“I went shopping with my sister. We bought a lot of gifts. All that’s left now is for you to come home.”

Zachary was upset to find an empty house on his return. With the intensity easing on his frown, Zachary sat down on the sofa and loosened his tie. He uttered tenderly,” Are you on the way back?

When are you arriving home? I’m home. Text me when you reach the neighborhood. I’ll come downstairs to carry the stuff.”

Serenity regrettably uttered, “You’re back? I thought you’d only return later tonight or tomorrow morning.”

“You don’t want me home?”

“No. I do. I want you home. The timing’s perfect. You can help carry the shopping bags.”

Serenity believed she did not have enough fun, so she did not want her hungry wolf home too soon to drain her out.

Since Zachary was aloof in personality, Serenity thought that he would act the same in the bedroom. It never crossed her mind that he was zealous and had great stamina. He was like an energizer bunny.

Serenity would think twice before trying to turn him on.

She was worried she might not get out of bed if she got him too excited.

“Am I a porter to you?” Zachary whined, but his tone reflected adoration. “Your personal porter will be downstairs, waiting for you.”
