Serenity had long learned that the Yorks were not living in Whitmore Mansion, the residence they stayed in during the New Year’s holidays. The Yorks had cleaned up the place and moved back in just to deceive her.
Lying was hard work!
Zachary replied fondly, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Anyway, it’s our home. We can go back whenever we want to and stay however long we wish.”
Serenity was about to take the apron off him while saying, “I’ll go make dinner.”
“There’s no need. I only have two more dishes to cook, then I’m done. You should just sit here and appreciate the blooms while I finish up.”
Zachary stopped her, not allowing her to enter the kitchen.
Serenity then kissed him on the cheek.
Zachary felt happiness blossom in his heart.
He returned to the kitchen to continue cooking with elation.
“Babe.”
Serenity knew he liked to hear her call him “babe”. She would indulge him while they were at home. “You invited Josh and Mr. Lewis to the barbecue but I don’t think that’s enough people. Why don’t you invite Mr. Johnson too?”
“I’ll invite Jasmine and Elisa. I’ll ask Liberty if she wants to come along.”
Zachary’s voice drifted out from the kitchen, “Okay. I’ll call Mr. Johnson in a bit and ask him to come to the barbecue tomorrow.”
Serenity first called her sister.
After her sister picked up, she asked, “Liberty, have you eaten?”
“I’m eating right now. I’m still in the shop.”
“I just knew you would still go to the shop.”
When they got back from their hometown, it had only been four in the afternoon. Her sister was currently as busy as a bee and would naturally be unwilling to waste those few hours.
