Chapter 635
Back at Brynfield, Zachary gently carried Serenity out of the car.
“Mr. Zachary, Mrs. Lane is staying with the missus’s sister,” said Jim.
Zachary huskily replied, “I don’t need Mrs. Lane. I can take care of her.”
He carried Serenity into the building.
Jim waited until Mr. Zachary was inside the building before driving away.
Zachary took notice of his loafers at the front of their house. His gaze deepened as his mind harked back to when they got married. She did the same thing to send a message that there was a man in the house. It was a safety precaution.
Although Serenity was a good fighter, it was better to be safe than sorry.
“Stand here, Seren. I need to grab the keys and open the door.”
Zachary put Serenity down, but she was too drunk to stand still. She would collapse to the ground the moment he let go. Zachary immediately grabbed ahold of her.
Putting his arms around her waist, Zachary guided Serenity to lean on his shoulder. He tried to feel the keys with his free hand but felt nothing. He reached out to his other pocket, but nothing.
Did he forget his house keys from leaving in a rush?
Zachary reached into Serenity’s pocket, but there were no keys either.
Serenity would not leave the house without the keys. There were only two possibilities-she either left her purse with the house keys at the bar or in Jasmine’s car.
Zachary called Josh right away. After Josh picked up the call, he said, “Can you help me to contact Ms. Sox, Josh? Ask her if Serenity’s house keys were left in her car.”
“No problem. I’ll ask her right now. No, I’ll drive to the Soxes’ house and retrieve the keys for you.”
Josh was more than happy to run the errand for his boss.
Although it was past eleven o’clock at night, it was still early for night owls like them.
Josh hurried to the Soxes’ residence.
