“Alright. I’m on a break like the students now. I’m going there to sort you out and whip you into a henpecked husband if you don’t be good. You can forget your dignity in front of your colleagues.”
The smile across Zachary’s face deepened.
“So you’re saying that you’ll come here and keep tabs on me if I deliberately stay away from the doctor?”
“Don’t you dare, Zachary!”
Zachary cowered on purpose. “I’m scared. I wouldn’t dare.”
“Alright now. I’m going to stop here. Hurry up and get yourself to the hospital. You’re an adult, yet you don’t take good care of yourself.”
Serenity grumbled before hanging up. She left Zachary to his work.
“Seren.”
“Liberty.”
Serenity watched as her sister drew close. “Is Sonny asleep?”
“Yeah. I want to take a walk while he’s sleeping. It’s good exercise. I run three times a day now. I put myself on a diet and cut sugar. I slow down on the protein to keep my weight too.”
Liberty stopped and added, “My takeaway from the three-year marriage is that we women should take care of ourselves and be financially independent. We can’t be overly reliant on men and trust that they’ll take care of us. No one wants to end up like me right now.
“Men turn bad when they have money. Hank changed after he was promoted to manager. See. Money changed him for the worse.”
Supporting her sister’s weight loss program, Serenity said, “Are you running three times every day? I think you can do morning and evening runs.”
During lunch, Serenity noticed her sister keeping off the meat. Her sister skipped dessert while they were chatting.
In the past, her sister usually went for dessert.
