There was no reply from Zachary, so Serenity said to her sister, “Zachary’s probably having a good time with his friends. He didn’t reply to my message yet.”
“You don’t have to come here tomorrow. Spend some quality time with Zachary.”
Liberty had a failed marriage, so she hoped her sister’s marriage would be better and longer than her own.
She approved of Zachary as her brother-in-law because he was genuinely kind to her sister and was more generous than Hank. Although Liberty had known Hank for a long time, Hank was reluctant to buy her a scooter even when he had ample savings.
Serenity was the one who bought her the e-bike.
“Alright,” Serenity said.
“By the way, are the Hunts still looking for trouble with you?” Liberty asked about her money-hungry relatives. “I wonder what happened to them. Grandmom had probably undergone the surgery by now.”
“They wanted to reconcile the last time they came over but didn’t return after that. They’re probably embarrassed. Besides, that trending story has been topped by new ones. There’s no trace of it now, so the impact on them is limited. That’s why they won’t come again.”
What Serenity did not know was that Zachary helped her to solve the problem. She thought her money-hungry relatives were too embarrassed to come looking for her again.
Liberty was relieved.
In the evening after they had dinner, Liberty urged her sister to go home. Jasmine did not want to go back to face her mother’s disappointed face, so she followed Serenity to Brynfield and visited Serenity’s apartment.
“Serenity, your apartment is spacious and well-lit. I especially like your balcony. You can sit on the swing, read a book, and enjoy the flowers out here. How relaxing! If you have a small coffee table in front of the swing, you can drink tea, too. It’ll be even cozier.”
Serenity smiled. “That’s a great suggestion! I’ll buy a small coffee table tomorrow and put it here.”
“I bought some of these flowers, and Zachary bought the rest. I don’t know which florist he went to pick them up from. Their flowers are healthy, beautiful, and huge.”
Serenity was truly satisfied with Zachary’s way of doing things.
“Mr. York bought those flowers? They are beautiful. Can you ask him where he bought them? I want to buy a dozen pots from there and place them on my balcony on the second storey at home.”
