Chapter 974
Serenity and Zachary had to wait for the Hunts to make a reckless move and commit a crime before they could send them to jail.
“Do they have any vice?”
“They gamble. Almost all seniors in the town gamble. It’s their favorite pastime after lunch. I don’t know if my uncles gamble, but I guess they probably took up the habit.”
Zachary’s dark eyes shimmered as a plan formed in his mind. Nevertheless, he kept mum about it and said to Serenity, “Leave them to me. Don’t waste your time on them. I’ll be there for you through thick and thin. Just do what you want to do.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to come along to the event tonight? We have never attended a party as a couple, honey.”
Serenity looked askance at him. “You’re the great Mr. York. Your security detail will be all over you at social events. A lowly peasant like me can’t possibly get close enough to see your face.”
Zachary murmured, “That’s in the past…”
There was once the couple turned up at the same event before and Serenity was there as her best friend’s plus–one. Zachary kept his identity hidden then. He noticed Serenity at the event, but she had no idea he was there.
“Wait until I have full confidence to stand by your side. Even if you don’t want to, I’ll make you go to events with me.”
Getting on her feet, Serenity bent over and propped her arms by Zachary’s sides.” Give me a kiss, handsome. I got to go.”
Zachary laughed. “You’re hitting on me again.”
“You’re secretly happy every time I flirt with you.”
Serenity bit his lip. “Take care of yourself. You’re on your own if you starve yourself again. If anything happens to you… I’ll inherit your assets and use your money to get me a boy toy. That would show you.”
“I might just rise from the dead.”
