Chapter 966
Married at First Sight
Zachary casually raised the question as he pulled Serenityâs hand over to play with after he finished eating.
The last time he met Clive, he even mentioned how Clive had not had a child despite several years of marriage. Now, Alice suddenly got pregnant.
He wondered when his Seren would get pregnant too.
Zachary was not in a hurry to have a baby. He just liked the process.
After remaining chaste for so long, all the cells in his body were screaming at him, desiring Serenity.
Unfortunately, he had to hold back for a while longer.
He pulled her hand up to check her injured finger and make sure that it was recovering well. Lowering his head, he tenderly kissed the wounded finger.
It was his fault that caused her to get hurt.
âI talked to Liberty about it. Sheâll go buy some supplements. Sheâs a mother, so she knows more than I do. Once she buys them, weâll send them over together.â
Serenity was genuinely happy about Aliceâs pregnancy.
âThatâs fine. Iâll reimburse Liberty for the money she spent on the supplements.â
Serenity hummed.
âSeren.â
âWhat?â
âI just wanted to call your name and hear your voice.â
Zachary pulled her into his iron grip and wrapped her soft and delicate body tightly.â Seren, you donât know how much Iâve missed you on days I couldnât go to you.â
Serenity leaned against his chest and listened to him whisper about his pain and longing.
In fact, she did not have a good time either.
Of course, she was still much better off compared to him.
âThe others are still on their lunch break, so take a rest so you have the energy to continue your work later.â
âWill you accompany me?â
Serenity raised her head in his arms. After looking at him for a moment, she finally nodded.
Zacharyâs heart rejoiced. He immediately picked her up and walked into the lounge.
While the young couple reconciled, Grandma May arrived at the breakfast place when Liberty was feeding Sonny.
âGrandma May, what brings you here?â
Liberty put down the bowl and got up to greet the old woman.
âI came over to see how your diner is doing.â
After entering the store, Grandma May looked around at all the furnishings and said,â
Itâs not big, but itâs clean and tidy. People who enter will feel that the storeâs hygiene conditions are up to standard. Theyâll feel more at ease eating here.â
Liberty laughed. âItâs a new store that was freshly renovated, so of course it looks clean and tidy. Iâll continue keeping it that way when it opens up for business.â
Grandma May nodded. âThatâs the least you should do. Donât throw away your conscience for the sake of making money. God wonât mistreat good people.â
âI know, Grandma May.â
Grandma May saw how Sonny picked up the bowl and fed himself after Liberty put the bowl down, and said, âSonny is growing up so fast. He knows how to eat by himself now. You can send him to preschool. That way, youâll be more relaxed too.
âAre you hiring anyone to help out?â
Liberty helped the old lady sit down. âThe store isnât open yet, so I donât know what business will be like. Iâll handle it by myself for now. Iâll consider hiring someone to help if business is good. Seren and Mrs. Lane will be coming over to help on opening day.â
âTell me if you need help. Iâm old and canât help much, but I have nine grandchildren. All I have to do is give the word and theyâll send people over to help you.â
Liberty quickly said, âThereâs no need for that. Iâll hire someone if business is good.â
That was overkill.
The children of the York family were all destined for great things.
She was just opening a breakfast diner. There was no need for them to come to help
