Chapter 935
“I’m going to work now.”
Zachary walked out of the Stones‘ villa reluctantly and left under Serenity’s gaze.
Sonny touched the part of his cheek where his uncle pinched, then he asked Serenity, “Aunt Ser, Uncle Zak just called me a third
wheel. My name is Sonny, not al third wheel.”
While carrying Sonny, Serenity returned to the house and said gently, “Your uncle was just joking with you. You’re not a third
wheel but a peacemaker.”
If she brought Sonny along to meet Zachary, the two of them would control their temper and avoid conflict. This would be helpful
in improving their relationship and trust in each other.
They were very concerned about the healthy environment in which the child grew up. Therefore, Sonny acted as a reconciler
between the couple even though he was not their child.
“I’m Sonny.”
“Fine, fine. You’re Sonny.”
Only then was Sonny satisfied.
He had no idea what a third wheel or peacemaker was. All he knew was that his full name was Sonny Brown, and his nickname
was Sonny.
After Serenity returned to the house, Mrs. Stone asked her to go upstairs and enter Elisa’s walk–in closet, which was filled with
Elisa’s clothes.
Mrs. Stone said, “Seren, your height and build are similar to Elisa’s. You can try on her clothes first. I’ll see which type of clothes
can fully portray your natural elegance.”
Serenity turned her eyes to Elisa, who said generously, “Seren, go ahead and try on my clothes since my mom asked you to.
We’re cousins. I don’t mind you wearing my clothes. What’s more, there are many clothes I bought when I was fond of them.
After I bought them, I placed them here without having worn them before.
“You can wear some on my behalf. I’ll then have an excuse to keep them.”
Serenity was amused.
When Elisa loved someone, she would be genuinely nice to them and not put on airs. Of course, she would embarrass those
with whom she could not get along.
Besides spending the entire afternoon trying on clothes, Serenity was dragged by her aunt and cousin to do hair and facial
treatments.
Evening came around and that was the peak hour of the businesses near Wiltspoon School, especially the bookstore.
Since school had reopened, students needed to buy all kinds of materials. The stock of some materials arrived late, which
caused students to frequent the bookstore over the two weeks and ask if the materials were in stock.
At that moment, Serenity’s bookstore was crowded with students who wanted to buy reference material and stationery.
Consequently, Jasmine and Mrs. Lane had their hands full.
When Serenity could not come over to help out at the store, she would arrange for Mrs. Lane to help so that Jasmine would not
be rushed off her feet..
A brand new SUV was parked at the entrance of the bookstore. When the car door was pushed open, Josh got out of the car. He
was dressed in a white suit, holding a bouquet of flowers.
At the sight that many students were buying things, Josh placed the bouquet back in the car. He removed his coat and took off
the expensive watch on his right wrist. Then, he put them in the car. After shutting the door, he made his way to the bookstore
and rolled up his sleeves, ready to help Jasmine.
“Jasmine.”
Josh went into the store and greeted Jasmine. “You’re busy. I happen to be here. Is there anything I can help with?”
“Just help them find anything they need.”
Jasmine directly got him to help out as he wished.
She did not ask Josh to process the payments since he was unsure of the prices.
The three of them had their hands full until it was time for students to do self- revision.
“Don’t you have a social function to attend tonight?”
When they could finally relax, Jasmine had the chance to speak to Josh.
