Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 1098
Serenity and Zachary were an old married couple now.
A while later, Serenity emerged from the bedroom and watched as Grandma May kept up the act of rummaging for her non–
existence reading glasses. Serenity uttered, “Never mind if you can’t find them, Nana. I’ll go with you to get another pair of
glasses later.”
“Alright. I’ll stop looking then. I’m getting old. My memory isn’t as good anymore. I remember putting them here, but I can’t find
them now. Maybe the glasses grew a pair of legs and ran off.”
Serenity replied with a smile, “Maybe they grew a pair of wings and flew away like a butterfly.”
Grandma May thought it was a shame. “Oh, I didn’t get to see them flying away like a butterfly.”
Serenity was amused by the old lady’s antics.
“When did you come home last night, Nana?”
“I was back before you were. I went to bed early last night. I don’t know what time you guys came home last night.”
Although Serenity was skeptical of Grandma May’s answer, she left the conversation at that.
After the trio enjoyed breakfast together, Grandma May talked about having a chat with the other ladies in the neighborhood and
left. Zachary drove Serenity to the shop.
Serenity gave her sister a call while on her way to the shop.
“How was business this morning, Liberty?”
“Good. I was swamped with customers. I was lucky that Mrs. Lane came to help me first thing in the morning. I can hire someone
if business is this good every day.” Since Mrs. Lane worked for her sister, Liberty could not always rely on Mrs. Lane for help.
Liberty did not want to hire anybody in the beginning as she had no idea how the business would turn out.
“Your business will always be booming.” Serenity believed her sister’s breakfast diner would be a hit the moment her sister
decided to go into the food and beverage line.

“Seren, I’ll talk to you when I’m not so busy in the afternoon.”
Liberty was so busy that she had no time for a chat with her sister on the phone.
“I shouldn’t keep you then. Bring Sonny over for lunch later. I’ll get your favorite food.”
Liberty happily agreed to the lunch date. She should meet up with her sister to talk about taking their relatives to court anyway.
Serenity did not mention last night’s incident so as not to worry her sister.
Liberty dove back into work after hanging up the call.
Mrs. Lane was tied up with work too. No one was looking after Sonny, but it was a good thing the boy was well–behaved. He sat
behind the cash register, playing with his toy bricks.
Hank came into the diner and looked at the tables full of customers. Some people were enjoying their breakfast while others
were on their phones and waiting.
It appeared business was thriving.
He was dumbstruck and somewhat frustrated.
Deep down, Hank wished Liberty would not succeed in her business. It would be best if she lost her source of income like him.
“Sonny.”
Hank was lost in his thoughts, but he soon snapped out of it. Seeing that his son was sitting alone behind the cash register, he
approached the boy.
“Dad.”
Sonny was bored playing by himself, but his mother was busy. Mom said that she had to earn a lot of money to send him to
school. He had to be on his best behavior and should not bother Mom for the littlest things.
Since Dad was here, Sonny was happier than ever.
He put his hands out for Hank to hold him. Staring at his father with his beady eyes, Sonny gleefully uttered, “Dad, are you taking
me to the zoo to see the tigers?”

His father talked about taking him to the zoo to see the tigers the other day, but Sonny chose to go with his aunt.
Nevertheless, the little man did not forget what his father said.
Hank answered with a grin, “I don’t have time today, son. Can we go another time?”
