Chapter 144
After a pause, Zachary added. “I‘ll drive you to work tomorrow morning.”
Since Zachary was being thoughtful , Serenity left her e bike at the shop and took a ride in Zachary‘s car.
Jasmine watched the couple as they left while mumbling to herself, “They‘re acting more like a couple now.”
Although Zachary was aloof and antisocial , his care for Serenity was in the details.
“I‘d be happy to marry immediately if a man like Mr. York comes into my life.”
It was a pity that her blind dates had nothing on Zachary. The supposed fine men were only placed above the rest because of their high income. However, they were far from being labeled fine men.
The man Jasmine went on a blind date with at Beans and Cream had taken a fancy to Serenity. The man even made a private call to the matchmaker to ask about Serenity, only to find out that Serenity was taken. The man must be living in Lalaland.
Jasmine called the man to give him a piece of her mind, threatening to ruin him if he were to look for Serenity in private and come between her marriage.
“Oh, Serenity. You must be here to visit your sister.”
Serenity ran into her sister‘s neighbor from downstairs, and the neighbor said hello to Serenity.
“Mrs. Zaks, have you had dinner? Yeah. I‘m here to see my sister.”
Serenity stopped to chat with Mrs. Zaks and stroked the hair of Mrs. Zack‘s young granddaughter. She took out a few fruits from the bag and gave them to the little girl. She looked at her grandmother to get permission before accepting the fruits.
“Thank you, Serenity.” The little girl politely thanked Serenity.
Serenity complimented the little girl‘s manners and then asked Mrs. Zaks in a hushed tone, “Mrs. Zaks, everybody was looking at me funny when I got out of the car. Is there something wrong with me?”
“No.You look the same as always.”
Mrs. Zaks added with a smile. “You must be imagining it. Oh, I got it. They might look at you that way because of your sister. I guess you didn‘t know, but your sister had a fight with your brother–in–law. Your sister chased your brother – in–law down several streets with a kitchen knife.
“Everybody thought you were the feisty one in the past. No one knew your sister had it in her.”
During the three years living in Liberty‘s home, Serenity once came to her nephew‘s defense and got into a screaming match with someone. She was only one person while the other party was an entire family. Still, the family lost to her.
Since then, she earned herself a title for her sassiness in the neighborhood.
“My sister and brother–in–law had a fight?” Color drained from Serenity‘s face while Zachary raised a brow.
“I don‘t know what‘s the reason for the fight. Everybody saw your sister going after your brother–in–law with a knife the other day. We only saw your sister return alone. I heard that your brother–in-law‘s family picked him up. Your sister probably didn‘t let you know because she didn‘t want you to worry about her.“
