Chapter 800
Married at First Sight
It explained why Zachary went away on business after Serenity did a DNA test with her aunt. Zachary was trying to get away from meeting Aunt Audrey in case the jig was up and his cover was blown!
Serenityâs mind flashed back to the moments in their four-month-old marriage as color washed off her face.
Jasmine noticed that Serenityâs hand over the mouse was shaking.
âSeren. Seren. Are you okay? Are you alright?â
Serenityâs reaction gave Jasmine a scare.
Jasmine immediately smacked and shook her Like a puppet, Serenity sat still and did not respond no matter how many times Jasmine tried to get her attention or smack her Serenity simply stared at Zacharyâs face blown up on the computer screen in a trance It was him. It had to be him!
He was her spouse. There was no way she could be wrong about that.
They were a couple who shared the most intimate moments together. She was beginning to trust her spouse, but he turned out to be a big liar! He had her fooled from the start!
âDonât scare me, Seren. Say something. Iâm scared to see you like this. I-Iâm going to give Liberty a call.â
Unable to snap her best friend out of the trance, Jasmine pulled out her phone to call Liberty for help.
Amid the fluster, she could not remember Libertyâs contact number. She had to scroll through her contact list one by one to find Libertyâs number.
It took a while before Jasmine found Libertyâs new phone number. She scrolled past the number a few times without realizing it.
Serenity was in a horrific state.
Her face was pale in color.
Liberty was at her restaurant.
Having gotten a call from Jasmine, she asked, âWhatâs up, Jasmine? Let Seren know I wonât be going over for lunch.â
She thought her sister was calling to have lunch together at the bookshop.
âWhere are you now, Liberty? Is this a good time? Hurry over. Somethingâs gotten into Seren.â
Turning as white as a sheet, Liberty went over to grab her son and rushed out of the restaurant before Jasmine could explain further. Liberty stopped the first car driving by.
Duncan hit the brakes.
He unlocked the door to get out of the car, but Liberty climbed into the backseat with Sonny. Once in the car, Liberty said, âI need to get to Wiltspoon School, driver. Drive!â
Duncan turned around and looked at her. âWhat happened? Youâre all over the place. You did not even close the door of your shop.â
âMr. Lewis?â
Surprised, Liberty asked, âWhy are you here?â
Why had she always run into Duncan?
Duncan uttered amusedly, âI should be asking you that question. You raced out with. Sonny in your arms and stopped my car without looking at who was behind the wheel. You got into the car without knowing it was me. You could be kidnapped and sold if you stop and get in any car.â
While talking, he took a good look at Liberty.
It appeared Liberty had lost more weight over the holidays.
She lost the fat on her cheeks and became more pleasing to the eye.
âAre you free now, Mr. Lewis? Can you drive me to Wiltspoon School? If not, I can hail a cab.â
Liberty did not want to take up Duncanâs time since he was a busy man. Besides, it must be a busy time of the year since it was just after the holidays. She carried her son and was going to get out of the car.
âSit down. Iâll drive you there! Hand me the keys to your shop. Iâll help you lock up.â
Liberty felt her pocket and said, âThe keys⦠The keys are in the restaurant.â
