Chapter 867
It crossed Zachary’s mind that Serenity personally brought the glass out of the kitchen. She did not break the glass
even though the drink was piping hot. The water must be to warm him up.
Serenity was angry and gave him the snub, still refusing to forgive him. Nevertheless, her tiny gestures told
Zachary that Serenity was not as heartless as she put herself out to be.
With that in mind, Zachary felt a little better.
As Sonny leaned forward, Zachary immediately moved the glass aside before hot water was knocked over.
Sonny wanted to open the bag of snacks.
Zachary pulled the bag over and opened it for him.
“Thank you, Uncle Zack.”
Grabbing a pack of chips from the grocery bag, Sonny gave it to Zachary and said, ” This is for you, Uncle Zack.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAunt Ser said it’s tasty.”
Aunt Ser rarely bought him chips, stating that too much junk food was not good for him.
Why did Aunt Ser always help herself to a bag then?
After Zachary took the bag of chips, Sonny dug out a few more bags and gave them to Zachary. The little boy then
slid down from Zachary’s lap and carried the grocery bag with the remaining snacks with a struggle, saying, “This is
all mine.”
Liberty amusedly took the bag from her son and uttered, “The bag is heavier than you. Put the bag here. You can’t
have any tonight, but you can have some tomorrow. You’ll spoil your dinner if you have them all at once.”
She then turned to Zachary. “Sonny doesn’t share. There’s the occasional exception with a few kids, but not with
adults though.”
Zachary had always kept a straight face while interacting with Sonny right from the start. However, Sonny was not
afraid of him. In fact, the little man got along well with Zachary.
Despite meeting Duncan multiple times, Sonny still could not look Duncan in the eye. There was something about
human relations that was hard to fathom.
Zachary laid out the few bags he got from Sonny and replied, “Sonny, I don’t really
like to eat snacks. You can have them back.”
Sonny grabbed the junk food and stuffed it back into the grocery bag.
It made Zachary laugh.
Sonny climbed back into his mother’s arms.
Soon, his young body gave in to weariness as Sonny dozed off in his mother’s
embrace.
Zachary did not want to leave, but since Sonny was asleep and his wife was holed up in the room, it was a bit
awkward for him and his sister–in–law to sit there in silence. He finished the drink, got up, and said, “I got to go,
Liberty.”

Liberty rose to her feet while carrying her son to see Zachary off.
He walked on, telling Liberty that she did not have to. Although he kept his attention on Serenity’s bedroom door,
his hopes were dashed when the door remained shut and kept the beautiful figure from coming out.
Zachary sighed.
He felt their fight had gone on for a long time, but it had only been a couple of days.
It had been rough for sure.
Zachary did not return to his place at Regent Residences. Instead, he went to Brynfield where he had stayed with
Zachary since they signed the marriage papers.
The couple spent many of their moments here.
He pushed open the door to a house of darkness.
Standing outside the door, Zachary was brought back to the day they got married. He came home the first night to
find Serenity had locked him out.
He had forgotten he had a wife while it slipped her mind she had a husband too.
It was a marriage of convenience back then, and the couple was cordial, if not distant, with one another.
Now that Zachary thought about it, those moments were near and dear to him.
