Chapter 2001
Duncan never conducted rehabilitation sessions whenever Liberty was present. He did not want her to see his pathetic state. Sonny hummed in understanding. Then, he asked, “When’s Uncle Zak coming out, Aunt Ser?”Serenity looked toward the company building. She said, “He’ll be out in a few more minutes.”She had told Zachary about fetching him from the office and having a meal together afterward. He would definitely get off work early. As she spoke, Sonny pointed at the tall man walking out. He exclaimed happily, “Uncle Zak is here, Aunt Ser.”He escaped Serenity’s hand and ran into the building. Zachary just exited the company building. He had good eyesight, so he spotted Serenity standing at the company entrance with a bouquet. She was like a light that attracted him to go to her as fast as possible. “Uncle Zak,” Sonny shouted as he ran. Zachary turned to instruct the bodyguards, “Go and get the car. I’ll wait at the entrance.”The bodyguards obeyed him respectfully. T
Chapter 2002
Sonny opened his mouth to counter his uncle, but he was too young. He got flustered because he could not retort Uncle Zak’s words at all. His flustered look made Zachary laugh. Zachary peppered Sonny’s face with kisses again. It was to the extent the child had to push Zachary’s face away and wipe his small face with his hand. Sonny said unhappily, “Your saliva is all over my face from the kisses.”Zachary smiled and said, “You used to cover my face in your saliva just like this too.”Sonny went silent. When they almost reached the company doors, he wanted to be released from Zachary’s arms. Zachary put Sonny back on his feet. Sonny jogged to Serenity and raised his handsome face. He complained to her, “Aunt Ser, Uncle Zak covered my face in saliva. Please do the same to him for me later.“He only thinks of me while doing something else. He doesn’t like me as much anymore.”Serenity laughed and said, “Did Uncle Zak bully you? Okay. I’ll avenge you after we get back home.”S
Chapter 2003
As Serenity stared at Zachary, he bent to whisper by her ear, “Don’t look at me like that, Seren. I won’t be able to resist kissing you.”“Uncle Zak, what secrets are you sharing with Aunt Ser?” asked the little third-wheeler, neglected by the adults, curiously. Serenity pushed Zachary lightly. Zachary stood up and looked downward at the little third-wheeler. He patted Sonny’s head resignedly and said, “Sonny, you really are a third wheel.”“Uncle Zak, my name’s Sonny, not Third Wheel. I’m not a wheel!”Serenity lifted her nephew with a laugh and walked toward Zachary’s car. As she walked, she smiled and said, “You’re right. Sonny isn’t a third wheel. Your uncle was just teasing you.”“Why does Uncle Zak keep calling me a third wheel, Aunt Ser? A wheel can spin quickly, but I can’t. Uncle Zak’s talking nonsense.”Zachary opened the door for Serenity like a gentleman. He said, “Yes. I was talking nonsense. Sonny’s the most serious child who won’t spout nonsense.”“I’m a good kid
Chapter 2004
Sonny seemed to understand, but he still looked confused. After some time, a few cars stopped outside Liberty’s new store. Duncan sat at the entrance, waiting for Sonny. His bodyguard stood behind the wheelchair. Zachary opened the door and got out of the car. Then, he turned to carry Sonny out of the car. Once Sonny’s feet touched the ground, he escaped Uncle Zak’s grip and jogged toward Duncan.“Don’t run so quickly, Sonny.”Duncan was anxious upon seeing that. He called Sonny not to run so fast. At the same time, he wished he could lift Sonny. However, he could not yet walk or move fast enough in a wheelchair. The child ran fast. Duncan only moved his wheelchair slightly, but Sonny already arrived in front of him. “Dunc.”Initially, Sonny wanted to climb onto Duncan’s lap. He had already positioned himself to climb but soon gave up because Dunc’s legs had not recovered. He could not sit on Dunc’s lap. Duncan saw Sonny’s slight movement and felt glad. The child a

Duncan hugged the child tight. He told Liberty, “The pain isn’t that bad now. I only feel it in my legs when I walk. It’s fine when Sonny sits like this.”Liberty said, “You have to voice out if you feel unwell. Don’t hold it in.”As she spoke, she still carried her son away from Duncan. Only then did she greet Zachary and Serenity. “Liberty.”Serenity gave her sister a hug. After the sisters hugged each other, Serenity observed Liberty and said, “We haven’t met for only several days, but I feel like you’re different.”Liberty laughed. “What’s different? I’m still the same.”“Mom, I’m hungry,” Sonny told Liberty. Next, Serenity lifted her nephew and said to her sister, “Liberty, Mr. Lewis, let’s go and eat.”“Okay.”Zachary went behind Duncan and pushed his wheelchair while Duncan’s bodyguard walked with Zachary’s team. Liberty and Serenity were in front, accompanying Sonny. Zachary asked his friend in a whisper, “Has there been progress between you and my sister-in-la
Chapter 2006
Serenity saw Liberty off to her car and did not forget to give her reminders. Liberty smiled and said, “I should be telling you that. Your driving speed is too fast. You should listen to Zachary and get a driver.”She was older than Serenity by several years and more mature. She drove carefully while Serenity would occasionally speed. Serenity enjoyed the thrill of speeding. “I like being in control of the steering wheel.”Liberty smiled helplessly. The sisters went back to their respective stores from the preschool. The bookstore was already open. Jasmine was cleaning the bookshelves with a duster. As students had already returned to school, the store was quiet. The Bucham family’s bodyguards were chased away by Jasmine. She would stay in the store all day and did not need two people guarding the door. It would scare the students. Serenity parked her car and got out of the car with her car keys. She called out to Jasmine as she walked into the bookstore. She had also p
Chapter 2007
Jasmine said angrily, “Seren, you don’t have to mind what others say. It’s fine as long as Zachary and his family aren’t urging you. Besides, you can’t be blamed for not getting pregnant. Who knows? It can be Zachary’s problem too.“He did reject you when you mentioned getting a checkup.”Jasmine believed there were no issues with Serenity’s and Zachary’s bodies, but outsiders kept saying that her best friend was a hen that could not lay eggs. Therefore, she could not help but get angry. Why did they not say it was Zachary’s problem?It was unfair. Why would people always blame the woman whenever a couple could not have children after trying for a long time?“I used to mind, but I don’t care what others say now. Maybe I’ve become numb after hearing a lot.” Serenity had become indifferent. When she heard her friend getting angry for her sake, she smiled and said, “Don’t let Zachary hear you, Jasmine. He’s healthy. If you were to say he has a problem, I’m the one who’ll get u
Chapter 2008
“The man delivered food to Ms. Daniels once and then became her lover. That’s what I heard. After becoming her lover, she bought him expensive suits and ties. She even arranged for bodyguards to protect him and assigned a luxury car to him.“It seemed like she was trying to make her into a second Zachary. Her desire for Zachary is so obvious.”Anyone who had seen Zachary before would have mistaken the back of Jenna’s lover for Zachary’s.After a moment of silence, Serenity said, “Even if he looks like Zachary, he’ll never be him. As long as it isn’t Zachary, Jenna can have whoever she wants as her lover. It’s none of my business.”“Other people will suspect Zachary’s the person she’s being lovey-dovey with and posting on Facebook every day. The man’s face is never revealed every time she posts a picture. She’s obviously trying to mislead people into thinking that she and Zachary are together.“She’s ruining your and Zachary’s relationship by making you suspect and misunderstand hi
