Serenity understood why her mother-in-law pretended not to know her and did not take it to heart.
After walking back to her parking spot, she unlocked the car and placed the clothes she bought for Zachary on the passenger seat before driving away.
A short while later, she arrived at Brynfield. Zachary had yet to return, so she fiddled with her small garden on the balcony.
The roses were blooming in overabundance, so she took a pair of scissors to cut a few off. However, she was reluctant to throw them away, so she took them back to the hall to trim them and arranged them into a vase.
Ring ring ring...
Her cell phone rang.
She answered and it was from her neighbor at the store. It was inconvenient to take the pets with her since she was going to shop for Zachary’s clothes, so she asked the neighbor to look after the pets for her.
“Mr. Charles, I’m so sorry. I completely forgot. I’ll go over and pick them up now.”
Serenity would have forgotten about the pets if she had not received the call.
Well, she was too busy and had just started having pets. She had not gotten used to it, so she forgot about the dog and two cats.
“I’ve brought the pets to the entrance of your neighborhood for you. You can just come out and fetch them from here.
“I figured you forgot about them since you didn’t come back to pick them up after so long. I had nothing to do anyway, so I brought them to you,” said Mr. Charles.
Charles was the neighbor who thought he was good at reading faces after reading a few books on the subject. He thought Serenity had a face that spoke of wealth, and she was someone who would go through hardships before attaining a smooth life. In the future, she would no longer be in the same circle as them.
Since his wife and him took over a small store in front of Wiltspoon School, he had never had a problem with Serenity and the others. In his eyes, Jasmine was also destined for a life of riches.
