Chapter 433


    Elisa said gratefully, “Serenity, if you help us find my aunt, you’ll be our family’s benefactor. We won’t


    treat you badly.”


    “We’re friends, so don’t be such a stranger. I’m also thinking of my mom. If she were still alive, my


    sister and I would also do our best to help her find her family.”


    Her mother passed away more than ten years ago, so she did not have a deep impression of her


    mother. Fortunately, her sister looked like her mother, so she could remember thetter by looking at


    her sister.


    “I won’t disturb your date with your husband. Have fun and tell me when the wedding is held. I’ll be your


    bridesmaid.”


    Elisa teased Serenity a little and took the initiative to end the


    call.


    “Was it Ms. Stone again?” Zachary asked nonchntly.


    “Yes. She wanted toe over to meet us, but she changed her mind when she heard that I was with


    you.”


    Zachary snorted coldly in his heart. ‘Good!‘


    “Elisa is really a good girl, but your boss…” Thinking of Mr. York wearing a wedding ring, Serenity


    sighed. “I guess they’re just not meant for each other.”


    “What did you two talk about? I heard you mention your mother.” Zachary changed the subject.


    He did not want to gossip about himself with her.


    They both walked forward shoulder–to–shoulder while


    holding hands. “Serenity said she’s focusing on finding her aunt now. It’s better to have something to


    do, lest she thinks of Mr. York all the time.


    “I didn’t know Mrs. Stone grew up in an orphanage. She had a younger sister who was adopted, but got


    shuttled to different families several times. Even till now, they still can’t find her


    sister.


    “My mom was also adopted by my grandparents, but she has no rtives looking for her. She doesn’t


    have memories of her early childhood either. All she remembered was that her previous adopted


    parents liked to scold and beat her, and she escaped because she couldn’t stand it.


    “She escaped when she was only seven or eight years old. She had no way of feeding herself, so she


    fainted from hunger by the side of the road until she was picked up by my grandparents and they


    adopted her. Then, she lived a stable life, met my father and married him before giving birth to us. Both


    my parents knew how to earn money, and our family condition was getting better, but…”


    She trailed off.


    Zachary knew about all that.


    “Mrs. Stone still remembers her sister, and the family is pouring money and effort to find her. They


    never gave up looking for her. The sister might have been misfortunate, but she was much luckier than


    my mother. At least there is family still thinking about her.


    “My mom doesn’t remember if she had a family. Her environment was constantly changing when she


    was young, and she was always beaten, scolded, and starved. She had a


    serious illness once and forgot everything from before she was seven or eight years old.”


    Zachary held her hand tightly and said in a deep voice, “Your mother did not have rtives looking for


    her. Her rtives are either gone, or she was abandoned. In that era, many people did not like giving


    birth to daughters and threw them away.”


    Serenity thought about it and said, “That’s true. If my mom was abandoned, there’s no need to look for


    her rtives even if they exist.”


    Her mood became gloomy while speaking about herte mother. “Zachary, I want to go back to pay


    respects to my parents. The Hunt family hasn’t let us visit my parents‘ graves since they drove my


    sister and I out of town. They warned us and threatened to raze my mother’s grave to the ground if we


    dared visit it secretly.


    “They have also relocated my parents‘ graves, so I don’t even know where they’re buried now.”


    Serenity was reluctant to reconcile with her horrid rtives back home mainly because they had gone


    too far.


    It was her parents‘ graves, but they were not allowed to visit. The sisters could not resist when they


    were young, but now that they had grown up, the Hunt family moved the graves without telling them so


    the sisters could not visit even if they wanted to.


    They went so far before but now they were trying to make peace with her now. However, Serenity could


    not forgive them.


    Zachary stopped in his tracks.


    Serenity stopped too.

    The couple looked at each other. Zachary sped her shoulders and promised solemnly, “Serenity, I’ll


    make sure your sister and you can visit your parents‘ graves one day. You’ll also get back the house


    that your parents had left behind.”
