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 toe.


    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 thend 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 ughtered 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 rted too. Mrs. Deli was


    over the moon that the sisters felt at home at her ce.


    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 rtives.


    After lunch, the girls chatted with Mrs. Deli and the other townspeople for a while before going into town


    to file the paperwork at thend registry during working hours. They then left their hometown.


    Serenity wanted to give Mrs. Deli some money, but thetter 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.
