Chapter 390

Author: Gu Lingfei
Zachary locked the front door and pulled Serenity out. As he walked, he explained, “My friend found out that your brother-in-law is now at Grand Hotel, which is owned by the Stone Group. I work at York Corporation, and the two companies aren’t on good terms with each other. I don’t want people from the Stone Group to recognize me, so I painted half of my face black. No one will be able to recognize me now.”

Serenity glanced at the birthmark that he drew.

Even when they were in a rush, Zachary could think of this detail, which showed how meticulous he was.

No wonder Zachary could be a white-collar executive at York Corporation.

Serenity finally believed Grandma May’s praises for Zachary that he was a very attentive man.

Of course, Zachary would only be attentive if he cared about someone.

“Wash it off with soap water when we come back later.”

Serenity ran a bookstore that sold stationeries, so she knew how to clean marker stains on the skin.

Zachary wanted to say that she could

    Jessica leaned against Hank’s chest and said softly, “Hank, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have answered that call. I was afraid she was looking for you for something urgent.”“It’s okay. I can’t keep this hidden from her forever and have to tell her about our affair sooner or later, anyway. Since she already has some doubts, I’ll bring up the divorce when I get home.”Hank did not want Jessica to suffer any grievances.His heart had long been biased toward Jessica, and he no longer had any affection for Liberty. However, Hank put up with Liberty because he was taking into consideration his parents and son. Otherwise, he would have kicked Liberty out long ago.“Hank, will she get a cut of your assets if you two get divorced?”Jessica did not want Liberty to get a cut of Hank’s property.She wanted to see Liberty leave empty-handed.Liberty was away from the workforce for a few years, and her child was only two years old. She wanted to return to the workplace, but that would be quite dif

    Hank whispered in Jessica’s ear, which made her smile.Fortunately, he was smart.Jessica was relieved that she could enjoy a lavish lifestyle after marrying him.Of course, she also had to put her guard up. After marriage, she would hold his salary card. He also promised to add her name to the title deed, so she would make sure that he did as he promised. Anyway, she would not follow in Liberty’s footsteps.“It’s actually very easy to make Liberty leave without a penny,” Hank said.“How?”Although Hank only had that bit of money, it was still better not to give Liberty anything. As long as Hank did not share his property with Liberty, Jessica would be able to reap the benefits.“Just make her choose between Sonny and dividing the property. She will definitely choose Sonny and leave empty-handed.”Jessica was disappointed after hearing this and said, “Are you willing to give up your son’s custody? He’s the only paternal grandson your parents have. Even if you’re willing to give

    “It’s so late. Who’s banging on the door?” Hank muttered as he went to open the door with an irritated expression.When he opened the door and saw the chubby woman standing there, he was dumbfounded and looked shocked.Liberty was here!How did she know where he was?The couple looked at each other.Liberty saw his naked torso and thought about their relationship in the past ten years. It turned out that men could betray a woman so easily and quickly.After Hank came to his senses, he immediately looked grim and questioned Liberty. “Why are you here? Where is Sonny? It’s the middle of the night, so why did you leave Sonny alone?”“Hank, who banged on the door?”Before Hank finished berating Liberty, Jessica sashayed over.Jessica was wearing lingerie, and her hair was messy. Liberty wondered if the two just had sex because Jessica looked charming and sexy. There were even traces of their infidelity on Jessica’s neck.Even a fool would know what was going on in this situation.

    Serenity turned around and rushed into the room.Hank had already returned to his senses. He rushed forward and kicked Liberty, who was sitting on Jessica.Serenity was furious when she saw this as she rushed in, so she kicked Hank.She practiced kickboxing and dealt with Noah Hunt and the gangsters, so she had the upper hand. When she kicked Hank with all her strength, Hank, who had just kicked Liberty, fell to the ground too.“Liberty!”Serenity stepped forward to help her sister.Hank got up quickly to help Jessica. He pointed at Liberty and Serenity as he yelled angrily, “Liberty, what the hell are you doing?!”Liberty beat up Jessica and was panting heavily. When she heard her husband’s roar, she was infuriated again. She yelled back, “Hank Brown! How could you do this to me?! Because of you, I quit my job and stayed home to take care of our family. I raised our son for you, yet you betrayed me to be with this b*tch! You asked me what the hell was I doing, huh? I was beatin

    Liberty shook her head at Serenity.No matter how much Liberty fought and argued with Hank, it was a fight between husband and wife. At most, the Browns would pick Hank up and take him back to their home to recuperate.If Liberty hit Jessica, it would be seen as a wife hitting a mistress. Everyone would only think that it was well-deserved, and Jessica would not do anything to her because of guilt.However, if Serenity made her move and beat up Hank and Jessica to stand up for Liberty, the Browns would sue Serenity and ask her to pay for the medical expenses. Jessica would do the same.Liberty did not want her sister to be taken advantage of.She pulled Serenity back tightly and said in a low voice, “Just trust me. I can solve this.”Serenity and Zachary only had to take photos and videos as evidence for Liberty.“Hank.”Liberty wiped away her tears and asked him, “You really want a divorce?”Hank said sternly, “Yes, I want to divorce you!”“Sonny is still so young. How could

    After tonight, Liberty would no longer be sad or cry for Hank.“Sonny!”Liberty remembered her son and was suddenly anxious.“Liberty, I asked Mrs. Lane to take care of Sonny. Sonny usually sleeps through the night until dawn anyway.”Sonny was naughty, but at times, he could be very well-behaved. It was especially true when he slept at night. He would usually sleep till morning unless he was uncomfortable.Only then did Liberty feel relieved upon hearing that.“Seren, Zachary, how did you two find me?” Liberty only thought about this question after she was assured that her son was in good hands.Serenity gave her sister an earful. “Liberty, we’re sisters. Since our parents passed away, we’ve depended on each other for fifteen years and have discussed everything together. This time, you excluded me, so how could I rest assured?“Zachary’s friend who helped collect evidence of Hank’s infidelity is highly capable. He quickly found out that Hank was here as soon as Zachary asked h

    Liberty believed in Zachary more than she did in Serenity.Liberty even told Serenity’s embarrassing story of her secretly drinking the vodka when she was young.Zachary looked at Serenity with such an intense gaze that Serenity wanted to find a hole to burrow in.“Liberty, why would you bring that up? It’s been so many years!”Liberty even shared this with Zachary.Liberty smiled and said, “You climbed into bed after your meal that day and slept all day. You can’t drink, but you like to drink anyway. You’ll sleep like a log after drinking too.“Zachary, just remember not to let her drink when it’s not a special occasion.”Zachary pursed his lips and smiled. “I’ll remember.”Liberty was reminiscing about their younger days, which made everyone laugh. The gloom from earlier slowly faded away.Divorce was no big deal.The earth would not stop rotating because someone was missing. Even without Hank, Liberty could live a good life.After walking out of the hotel, Liberty looked

    Serenity came to a realization after being stared at and asked Zachary tentatively, “Mr. York, do you want me to wash your face for you?”“I painted my face black for your sake.”That meant he was holding her responsible.Serenity was stunned and felt like this man was becoming more shameless and reckless.“Fine, I’ll clean it up for you since you did it for my sake. Why didn’t you just paint your entire face black in the first place?” Serenity said as she pulled him into the kitchen.Zachary followed her and stopped after two steps. He frowned and asked Serenity, “Why are you bringing me to the kitchen?”“There’s a tap in the kitchen. I’m forbidden to enter your room, so how can I wash your face if I don’t take you to the kitchen? Or you can wait here. I’ll get a wet towel and wipe your face clean.”Zachary was speechless.He shot himself in the foot, and it hurt so much.After a moment of silence, he said indifferently, “I have a men’s facial cleanser that I often use in my

    “A baby’s face changes almost every day. We’ll only know who he takes after when he’s a little older.”Serenity agreed. “I should call Elisa and share this news with her.”Jasmine probably did not have time to tell her friends about her newborn. Serenity also forgot to inform Elisa because she was too worried about Jasmine. Zachary told her to call Elisa only after they were inside the car. There were too many people in the hospital. Serenity held back her excitement and immediately called Elisa when she got in the car. Elisa was extremely busy at the company. She was the only one who could manage their joint company at that moment because Serenity and Jasmine were pregnant. Even if they wanted to return to the company to work, Elisa would not allow them. Rest was of utmost importance for pregnant women. Elisa was unmarried and not pregnant. She did not mind being busier. She only picked up Serenity’s call after some time.“Seren.”Elisa held the phone in her left h

    “All that matters is that you’re okay, honey. Let’s not have more children. We’ll just have this one son.”Josh spoke while holding Jasmine’s hand.Women had to experience immense pain when giving birth. It came with many risks as well. Josh had heard other people saying that a woman usually had one foot in the grave during childbirth.He was genuinely shocked after accompanying Jasmine through her labor. He had been terrified and worried that something would happen to Jasmine.Luckily, everything ended well. Jasmine and their son were safe. However, Josh did not want to experience something like that again. Having one child was enough. There was no need for a second or third child. The Buchams were a big family anyway. He did not have to bear the responsibility of expanding the family alone.“Okay. We shall not have another baby.”Although Jasmine was brimming with motherly love and recovery from a vaginal delivery was quicker, she still thought childbirth was too

    It was not just Camila. The rest of the people there also had the same thought. Josh and Jasmine had a great relationship. If something happened to Jasmine, Josh would be devastated and lose all hope of living.“Congratulations. The mother has given birth to a boy safely. The baby boy is six pounds and three ounces.”The people who brought Josh out were the anesthetist and nurse.The nurse instinctively reported the good news when she saw the crowd.Then, she explained, “The father probably fainted from shock after the baby was born. Come over and help bring him to the side to rest. The mother won’t be out that quickly.”Upon hearing her words, everyone’s mood brightened up.Camila, whose legs felt weak just now, was immediately filled with strength and stood up. Without Drake's help, she went to the nurse and asked, “Does the baby need to be in the incubator since he was born prematurely?”The nurse replied, “We’ll put the baby in the incubator and observe him for a while. If

    Zachary was also worried that Serenity would go into premature labor out of shock. He also persuaded her to go for her checkup in a gentle voice. They could not do anything but wait anyway.Serenity finally decided to conduct her prenatal checkup first. Zachary accompanied her. Just moments after they left, the door to the delivery suite opened. A nurse stood there and shouted, “Is Jasmine Sox’s husband here?”“Yes. I’m her husband,” replied Josh quickly. He dashed to the nurse. “You must save Jas, doctor. Save the mother no matter what.”His family members behind him also echoed, “That’s right. No matter what happens, you have to save Jasmine.”The nurse said, “The mother is fine. It’s just that she wants her husband to accompany her as she’s in a lot of pain.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Josh was about to rush inside but was stopped by the nurse.She asked him to change his clothes before taking him inside the delivery suite.Jasmine was wailing in pain. When

    With advanced medical technology, a premature baby could still be healthy if taken good care of in the incubator. Serenity said, “Jasmine should be at thirty-five weeks. I just don’t understand why she would suddenly go into labor. Did she fall at home?“Or did she eat something that made her go into labor?”Zachary said, “That’s most likely not the case. Josh’s cousin is Jasmine’s dietician and keeps an eye on her food every day. There’s no way Jasmine would’ve eaten something bad unless she ate it secretly.”Serenity and Zachary suddenly went silent. Pregnant women had weird appetites. Once they had a craving, they could not go unsatisfied. Sometimes, they would even crave fruits that were not in season. Serenity herself was one of them. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night craving mac and cheese. Of course, Zachary, the ever-doting husband, had to satisfy her request. However, where could he find mac and cheese at that hour?Ultimately, he had to drive to the

    People would reap what they had sown. They would have to bear the consequences of their actions. Sometimes, interfering in another person’s fate would backfire. After chatting for some time, Serenity said, “I have to go for my checkup now, Liberty. Let’s talk again when you’re free another day.“By the way, I’ll get someone to bring Sonny to you this weekend. He misses you.”“Okay,” said Liberty. After the call ended, Serenity put her phone into her bag and stood up. She told the man behind the office desk, “It’s almost time, babe. Let’s go.”“Okay. I’m almost done.”Zachary quickly signed and stamped a document before closing it. He walked over with the document in hand. Serenity and Zachary left the office together. He handed the document to his secretary. The secretary did not expect him to pass the document to him personally. He had thought of entering Zachary’s office to request it later. The secretary watched Zachary and Serenity leave. He could not believe

    Lilian often messed with the medicinal herbs her master cultivated, which led to her being chased and scolded by him.It seemed her son had inherited her restless nature.“How’s Sonny been lately?”Liberty had been on edge these past few days because Caroline had been preparing to lure her three brothers into a trap and had not had time to call her son.“Same as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.”Serenity added, “Sonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesn’t seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesn’t like going to the Browns’ place, and he doesn’t want to take their calls either.“Hank’s mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why he’s upset with them.”During the holidays, Sonny had stayed with the Browns for a few days and started to warm up to them.However, who would have thought that the mother and daughter would start spouting nonsense in f

    Once the baby was born, he would apply the knowledge he had learned over the past few months to care for the baby. He was determined to be a competent and responsible father.Serenity released her arms from around him and shifted to her side.Zachary let go, too, allowing her to turn.Then, she planted countless gentle kisses on his face.“Babe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Don’t worry too much,” Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.“You are my rock. If even you are nervous, I’ll start feeling anxious too, and that won’t be good.”Hearing this, Zachary immediately said, “Seren, don’t worry. I’ll protect both of you. Alright, I won’t be so nervous anymore.”He gently touched her rounded belly again. “Lil’ Bun should be a calm kid. He’s not that mischievous.”He felt that the baby’s movements were not too intense.Serenity wanted to tell him that there were times when the baby kicked more vigorously, but she decided against it, knowing it would only m

    “Just hit the gym a few more times. Lately, you’ve been spending less time there.”Every day after work, he would come home and orbit around her. As a result, he had less time to work out.It was normal to gain a few pounds eating well and exercising less. Did he really think he could eat anything without gaining weight?The reason he could maintain a model-like physique before was that he exercised daily.“Ow.” Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, “Is it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Let’s go to the hospital right away.”He was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.“Don’t be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. It’s not happening so soon. It’s just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.”As she entered the later stages of pregnancy, the little one inside her was growing stronger. Sometimes, a couple of kicks from the baby could actually hurt.
