Chapter 1239
“Alright, that’s decided then. I enjoy seeing you drunk. You’ll be all over me!”
Zachary kept his voice down at the end.
Serenity was lost for words.
The callous man had changed a lot. He could be such a flirt over the phone.
“Are things going well? Did they kick up a fuss?”
The extremes Old Mrs. Hunt would go to had not been forgotten.
Zachary was worried Old Mrs. Hunt would cause a scene.
Still, there was no cause for concern as Zachary assigned bodyguards to protect Serenity, She brought lawyers, and she could
fight.
“It’s going well. My granddad must have told my grandmom what his sons and grandson said. My grandmom did not act up this
time. She was cooperative. I got my maternal grandparents to come. They said they didn’t want my mom’s share and wanted us
to have it.”
“Okay.”
Zachary had not met the Howdens.
The Howdens were cruel for what they did back then. Nevertheless, that fact could be overlooked since they raised Lisa.
“My maternal grandparents apologized to us. They said they were unsympathetic for not taking me and Liberty in or standing up
for us when my grandparents picked on us. They understood we had it rough over the years.”
Serenity added, “But I don’t want to sweat the small stuff anymore. No matter what, they raised my mom.
“Will that make you think that I’m too forgiving, Zachary?”
“No. You’re a person of principles. You’re calling me Zachary again.”
Serenity grinned. “Babe.”
“Come back soon when you’re finished there. I miss you a lot.”
“We left home together this morning, you know. It’s only been hours.”
“I would chain you to me if I could. I don’t want to be apart from you for even a second.”
Feeling butterflies in her stomach from all the sweet nothings, Serenity replied, “I need to bring the forms to the land registry and
then I can go home.”
She then added, “I miss you a lot too.”
Zachary knew Serenity did not long for him as much as he did for her, but it made him. happy that she could say it out loud.
The couple talked on the phone for a while before Serenity ended the call.
With the task straightened out, the sisters, together with the bodyguards, went to have lunch at Mrs. Deli’s home.
Mrs. Deli and her husband slaughtered some poultry and bought a lot of greens to prepare a feast.
Lisa was the closest to Mrs. Deli when she was alive. They were somewhat related too. Mrs. Deli was over the moon that the
sisters felt at home at her place.
Serenity and Liberty’s uncles invited the girls over for lunch, but Liberty turned them down.
At least, there was no more fighting between them.
Still, Liberty and Serenity were not saints to forget about the past and share a meal with their relatives.
After lunch, the girls chatted with Mrs. Deli and the other townspeople for a while before going into town to file the paperwork at
the land registry during working hours. They then left their hometown.
Serenity wanted to give Mrs. Deli some money, but the latter would not have any of it. Mrs. Deli insisted on giving the sisters her
homegrown fruits and vegetables.
The people sent by Elisa to sign an agreement with the mayors of neighboring towns arrived after Serenity and Liberty were
gone.
These two matters were done in a day.
With the contracts signed, work could be started on Serenity’s and Elisa’s invested project. It was close to evening by the time
they got back to the city.
