“Honey, have some water.”
Zachary followed her back to the bed, picked up the cup of water, and handed it to her. Serenity took only a couple of sips and declined for more.
“I’m just moistening my throat, I won’t drink too much to avoid frequent trips to the bathroom. By the way, who called you just now?”
Zachary calmly lied, “Josh couldn’t sleep and called to bother me in the middle of the night. I scolded him, and it was just his way of retaliating. I used to often interrupt his sweet dreams.”
Looking at him, Serenity said, “Babe, I knew when you answered the call, but I was too tired to get up. Although I didn’t hear what you said clearly, I’m sure it wasn’t Josh who called.
“You’re lying to me, probably just to spare me from worry. The call was from Kevin, right?”
The one who could make her worry was her sister.
Zachary held her. “Everyone says that pregnancy makes one a bit absent-minded, but my wife is still as sharp as ever.”
“What did Kevin say? Is something wrong with my sister?”
“Liberty is fine. It’s the Fisher family that ran into trouble. Your sister went to a banquet at Fisher Manor tonight, and there was a major scandal. They left the Fisher Manor quickly, and now they’re resting at the hotel. You don’t need to worry.
“With Kev and Hayden there, nothing will happen to Liberty. We have people arranged to protect her, and both Duncan and your aunt are keeping an eye on her. Don’t worry, Liberty is just trying to win over the members of the Fisher family and build a business empire in Jensburg. It would only take some time.”
The investment for Liberty naturally came from the Yorks, Lewises, and Stones.
