Caught off guard by the response, Serenity ensued with a smile. “Many couples break up in the face of adversity. We got married without knowing anything about each other and have only lived together for two weeks. I’m grateful that you’re willing to face this together with me.”
The people around her might be embroiled in the scandal if not handled well.
“My sister and brother-in-law were college sweethearts and had been dating for years before tying the knot. They also have a son together. My brother-in-law wasn’t very nice when he discovered that my sister and I were villainized on the internet.”
Zachary fell silent for a while before responding, “Serenity, you can’t use your brother-in-law as the benchmark for every man out there. It’s unfair to them and not everyone’s the same.”
He believed Hank’s feelings for Liberty had gone sour.
As the new addition to the family, Zachary did not want to point out that Hank was having an affair without proof. However, it was his gut feeling that Hank was up to no good.
“You have a point.”
By looking at Liberty’s marriage, Serenity was turned off by love and matrimony. Serenity was lucky her man was decent. Although there were times he hurt her pride, Zachary was reliable when it mattered.
Her mind wandered back to Jasmine’s teasing. Since she had signed the six-month contract with Zachary, why could she not give the relationship a go?
“There’s a rest stop ahead. Do you need the loo? I want to fill up the tank.”
“Sure.” Serenity was fine with it.
The car cruised along the highway for a few minutes before pulling up at a rest area. Zachary stopped the car at the parking lot.
The couple got out of the car together.
