Cupid's Arrow Hit On Me novel (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 73

By the time Serenity parked her sweet new ride and got into Zachary’s car, Zachary adopted a milder tone. He asked her, “This will be the first time I have dinner at your sister’s. I should bring her a gift. What do your sister and brother-in-law like?”

Serenity buckled up. “Get a toy for Sonny. My brother-in-law smokes, so get him a pack or two. We can just bring some fruit.”

“Right,” Zachary replied.

As the car drove out of Brynfield, he asked his wife, “Where should we get the stuff?”

“There’s a store not too far from here. We’ll make a pit stop and get everything we need there. Mr. York, have you lived here before I moved in? I’ve noticed you don’t seem familiar with the vicinity.”

Zachary took the time to pause before replying, “I bought this house ages ago, but I let it sit because I was staying with my parents. I thought I shouldn’t take up space at my family’s home after we got married, so I moved into this house.”

“Does your family have a big house?”

Since Zachary rarely brought up his family situation, Serenity took little interest in getting to know him. Now that Serenity picked up on his misconception and precaution toward her, Serenity would rather stay out of his personal affairs.

“Our one big family is staying in the house under Nana and Gramps’ name.”

Zachary was not lying about that. The Yorks’ estate was registered to Nana and Gramps. After Gramps passed away, Nana urged Zachary’s dad to transfer the estate ownership to Zachary’s dad and uncles.

The estate was jointly owned by the family anyway.

Nevertheless, Liam had not gone through with the ownership transfer yet. Zachary believed his dad wanted the house passed straight down to Nana’s grandchildren to save the family from cutting through red tape.

Serenity took it that the Yorks were a middle-class family so the whole family was living together under one roof.
