Chapter 857

Grandma May patted his shoulder. “Go get her! You have my moral support in chasing after your wife!”

Zachary said, “Nana, I sense the sarcasm in your tone.”

Grandma May’s eyes twinkled, but she denied it and said, “Do you, now? How am I being sarcastic?”

“I said before that I won’t pursue my wife…”

“Ah, now that you’ve reminded me, you did indeed mention… Either way, haven’t you been eating your words recently? Once you get used to it, nothing would come as a surprise anymore the more you eat your words.”

Zachary was speechless.

Was she his nana or not?

After bickering with Nana and listening to her reminisce about the past he was not privy to, Zachary somewhat understood why she insisted that he marry Serenity.

It was because of his grandfather’s last words and that nameless fortune–teller, who said that Serenity and he were destined to be husband and wife, so his nana stubbornly insisted on him marrying Serenity.

Of course, Zachary was grateful to that fortune–teller now.

If he had not fallen in love with Serenity, he would have smashed that fortune–teller’s stall.

Meanwhile, Serenity left Zachary’s villa with Liberty and first returned to the house in Brynfield. She initially wanted to pack up all her belongings and leave, but after a second thought, she only took a few sets of fresh clothes and moved into her sister’s place.

She left the two cats and one dog behind and called Mrs. Lane to send the pets back to Zachary since he gave them to her.

When Mrs. Lane sent the pets to Zachary, he looked at the three furries, which had been fattened up for a long time, and said, “The missus doesn’t have time to take care of them for the time being. Mrs.

Lane, you’re familiar with them, so you’re responsible for taking care of them until the missus returns.

“Take care of the flowers on the balcony as well. They’re Seren’s favorite.”

Mrs. Lane complied respectfully.

As she was preparing to leave with the pets, Zachary added, “Don’t let Snowball eat too much. It’s as round as a ball now.”

Mrs. Lane was speechless, but said agreeably, “Yes, sir.”

In fact, Mrs. Lane was the main caretaker of the pets after they were delivered to Serenity. She thought she had to feed the pets well since they were given by Mr. Zachary to his wife. However, she ended up feeding the dog until it became as round as a ball, causing its master to disdain it for being chonky.

Meanwhile, Serenity was sleeping at her sister’s place.

Liberty knew Serenity was not feeling well, so she did not bother her sister and let her be a little pig at home all day.

Liberty was also relieved after fetching her sister home from Zachary’s place. She could not neglect her store, which was currently being renovated, so she took off to work with Sonny after saying a word or two to Serenity.

Her busyness kept her from home until it was dark.

Unexpectedly, Hank was in front of the building again.

Liberty, who was pushing her e–bike, wanted to crash it into him.

“Don’t look at me like I’m an enemy. I came over to tell you something.”

Hank disliked Liberty’s current attitude toward him.

Liberty was nice to him in the past. Even if they were divorced, they still had a son together. Did she have to look at him so coldly every time she saw him?

“What is it?” Liberty asked coldly.
