getting married.”
Josh disconnected his boss-cum-best-friend’s call. Zachary was trying to lead him astray! Not happening! Zachary only married in
haste because his nana made him do it. Grandma May took a fancy to Serenity so much so she sacrificed her darling
grandson’s marriage.
After giving out directives to Josh, Zachary got out of the car and went to get some snacks.
By the time Serenity returned , Zachary had snacks ready for her in the car.“ It’ll take some
time to make the roundtrip. Have something to eat. Don’t starve yourself over a tiny issue,” he said.
“Have you eaten?” ”Yeah.” Zachary ate just enough to stop the hunger. The snacks were not to
his liking, Seeing that Zachary was full, Serenity helped herself with the food Zachary was
tasked behind the wheel while Serenity filled her belly.
Serenity’s hometown was over an hour’s drive on the highway from Wilt spoon. It had been nearly
ten years since Serenity returned to the place. The sisters would come back for the summer
holidays in the past, but their return was usually met with the grandparents’ cold shoulders.
Their grandparents would not feed them, so Liberty and Serenity had to source their own food.
That was nothing compared to a later time when their grandparents tossed out their belongings
from their rooms touse as storage.
The sisters had no place to stay when they returned. With their parents gone, their grandparents were the girls closest family.
