Serenity and Zachary York



Sometimes, Duncan was worried that he would turn resentful from missing Liberty. During those times, he would tell himself she was having it worse. She had to leave her young son with Serenity and did not even have much time to call him.

"Half an hour's rest is enough for me. I was guessing you're already awake and wanted to call you before you started working again."

“Mmhmm, I'll work after having my coffee. What's wrong?"

Liberty added, "Miss me?"

Duncan replied affectionately, "I miss you. I miss you every day and every moment. I think I'm going insane."

He heard Liberty laughing.

His work efficiency would definitely increase by a whole level after hearing her laugh.novelbin

"You just got back not long ago."

"I want to be with you twenty-four hours a day. It's been quite some time. A day feels like years to me. How many years do you think has passed for me?"

Liberty smiled. "Probably ten or twenty?"

"That's right. I miss you so much."

"I miss you too. Our company will be closed from Christmas onward. We'll only start working again ten days later. I can rest during that period.

"Duncan," said Liberty, "can you check on my house and hire some cleaners to clean up the house before I return? Tell them to wash the sheets and blankets, and dry them under the sun. That way, I can relax when I'm back.

"I'll pay for the cleaners."

Duncan said, "I was already planning to do that. There's no need to hire cleaners. I'll arrange for some of my workers to go over. Serenity will probably check on your house too. Don't worry. Is it still snowing in Jensburg?"

"Not now, but it's still cold. Much colder than Wiltspoon."

Sunny days would soon return to Wiltspoon.

"By the way, isn't Mrs. Lane supposed to be at your place?" Duncan asked.

Liberty said, "Mrs. Lane called me a few days ago. She wants to take some time off and return to her hometown. Her mom had a bad fall and is bedridden, so she needs someone to take care of

"I guess it's a chain reaction. My other employees also asked for time off due to family matters shortly after Mrs. Lane did. I wouldn't have to worry if at least two of theme

remained to look after the villa."

Liberty bought a villa from Zachary at a lower-than-market price. Serenity also assigned a few employees to clean the villa regularly.

However, there were not many changes to her lifestyle.

Most of the furniture, appliances,

and decor in her villa were gifted by her friends and family. After

purchasing the villa, she had just et

enough money for her business. Therefore, she remained frugal, like back when she just got a divorce.

Anyway, like any other person, she liked to clean up the house to welcome the festive season.

Liberty did not think of herself as rich and still worked hard to earn money.

Most of what she had were the benefits she had gained as Mrs. York's sister after Serenity married Zachary.

It could be seen as her riding on Serenity's success.

Without Serenity marrying into a wealthy family, Liberty would still be struggling as a member of the lower class.

Having been poor and challenged by hardships, Liberty did not pursue luxury even after her identity had changed. Duncan was speechless.

"I guess it was really a chain reaction."

Liberty was not home, and Sonny was living with Serenity. Liberty would not refuse her employees' requests to take time off work due to family matters.

The employees also did not feel bad about requesting a leave because their boss was not around.

Besides, the villa would not disappear. It was located in a classy neighborhood with a high level of security.

No one would dare to cause a stir at the house that belonged to Mrs. York's sister.
