Chapter 904

“I’ll send him to Serenity’s place. She’ll take care of him.”

Josh wanted to help his best friend out.

Duncan reminded him, “Zachary is drunk and spewing nonsense. If he said those words he said earlier in front of Serenity, it would be adding insult to injury.”

Josh paused. “I’ll send him to Wildridge Manor.”

Duncan had no problem with that.

The three of them left the bar. Duncan helped Zachary into Josh’s car, said a few words, and watched Josh drive away. Then, he called for a cab for himself.

On the way back to York’s residence, Zachary occasionally yelled a few times. One moment, it was “Serenity, I love you. Don’t leave me.” The next moment, it was, ” What else do you want from me? It’s not like I need you.”

He kept repeating those words.

It was a fight between his love and ego. His love prevailed one moment, and his ego the next.

More than an hour later, Josh’s car arrived at Wildridge Manor. He called Grandma May in advance, so she waited for him at the entrance of the house.

“Grandma May.”

Josh parked the car and called out to the old woman. “Sorry for bothering you when it’s so late.”

“No, I’m sorry for troubling you to send Zack back this late.”

Grandma May told the bodyguards to help Zachary out of the car. When she saw how he was so intoxicated that he could not even walk, she asked Josh, “How much did that brat drink?”

“A few bottles. He got so drunk that he started talking nonsense, so I didn’t dare send him to Serenity. I was afraid she’d get angrier if she heard what he said.”

“What did he say?”

Josh did not conceal it and told Grandma May the absurdity that Zachary said.

Grandma May snorted. “I’ll call him a man if he has the balls to say that in front of Serenity.”

“Grandma May, Zachary is just depressed and venting. When he sobers up tomorrow, he’ll cling to Serenity again like gum.”

Grandma May said, “In vino veritas. You should look up what that means.”

Josh was speechless.

Fortunately, he did not send Zachary to Serenity. Otherwise, like Grandma May, Serenity would think that Zachary was speaking his hidden thoughts after drinking.

“Do you want to come in for a glass of water before you go?”

“No need, Grandma May. I’ll leave now. I have plans tomorrow.”

Grandma May was aware that Josh was pursuing Jasmine and smiled. “All right. You go back first.”

After Josh left, she ordered the bodyguards, “Move a deck chair to the swimming pool and let Zack lie there for tonight. The cold will help him sober up.”

“Old Mrs. York,” a bodyguard protested.

Grandma May’s expression fell. “Did you not hear what I said? Since he likes to drown his sorrows in alcohol, I’ll help him out. Do as I say. No matter what accident happens tomorrow, he won’t dare do anything to you with me around.”
