Chapter 287
Serenity was about to say that her sister would never forgive infidelity but hummed a response on second thought.
The couple did not exchange another word during the journey. Zachary did not do well at small talks while Serenity was
preoccupied with her sister‘s marriage to engage in conversation. It was pin–drop silence in the car. Zachary did not even put the
music on.
Tilting her head, Serenity looked at the scenery outside the window.
She waited until they were reaching Bright Boulevard before giving her sister a call. Serenity was relieved that her sister picked
up the call.
“Liberty, are you and Sonny up? I made quite a lot of sandwiches, so I brought you and Sonny some.”
Liberty stopped walking and stared at her son in the stroller. She said, “ Sonny isn‘t awake yet. Seren, I‘m not at home. I took
Sonny out for a stroll and somehow ended up near your bookshop. I‘ll just head to your shop instead of going home.”
“Oh, I see. Where are you now? Can you drop me a pin? We‘ll take you to the shop.”
“Sure.”
Liberty was tired from the long walk.
Since she was on the heavy side, the weight on her feet only exhausted her more as the stroll went on.
She sent her location to her sister.
Having received her sister‘s location, Serenity told Zachary, “My sister isn‘t at home, Mr. York. She‘s on the way to my shop. Can
you go here? We can pick her and Sonny up then head to the shop.”
“Sure.”
Zachary took a look at the location on Serenity‘s phone before making a U–turn and rerouting.
Liberty believed she had walked a great distance, so it would not take long before Zachary arrived at where she was. It was a
ten-minute car ride to her location.
Holding the stroller, Liberty waited by the road.
“Liberty.”
With the car coming to a stop, Serenity got out of the car and approached her sister.
“Ant Swer.”
Sonny was looking a little drowsy as he just woke up from his sleep, but the sight of his aunt brightened him up. He extended his
arms, asking for Serenity to hold him.
“Sonny.”
Serenity carried her nephew and said to her sister, “Get into the car, Liberty.”
Zachary got out of the car and helped fold the stroller before loading it in the car. He waited until the sisters entered the car
before taking his seat as the driver and starting the engine.
The sisters sat in the backseat.
“Are you hungry, Sonny?”
Serenity was not in a hurry to ask about her sister‘s plans. Sonny might only be two years old, but he could catch a few words
from the adults‘ conversation. Serenity did not want her nephew to find out about Hank‘s affair.
No matter what, Hank was Sonny’s father. Regardless of the father‘s wrongdoings, it was inappropriate to speak ill about the
father in front of a child.
“Hungry.”
Sonny rubbed his belly. “I brought formula.”
Liberty added, “It‘s not easy to feed him milk in the car. I‘ll wait until we‘re at the shop to give him his bottle.”
“Do you want to have milk or a sandwich?” Serenity asked her little nephew.
“I want sandwichy.”
With a smile, Serenity kissed her nephew on the cheek and replied,” Okay. I‘ll give you a sandwich when we‘re at my shop. It‘s
your favorite cheese sandwich.”
“Sure.” As Sonny had only woken up, he could endure an empty stomach for a little longer.
While pressing Sonny‘s head against her chest, Serenity‘s heart went out to him.
