Chapter 1231
Holding Serenity in his arms, Zachary lovingly uttered, “I can make time once I’m done with the tasks at hand. I’ll take you to visit Ben and his wife. Ben carries his mom’s last name too.”
Zachary whispered in Serenity’s ear, “You’re the heroine of a book too, honey. Everybody wants to be you.”
Serenity nudged him away. He would always breathe hot air into her ear along with his whispers. The sensation stirred activity in her loins and tempted her to jump him.
The couple returned to the home at Brynfield after delivering the eggs and poultry to Liberty.
Mrs. Lane was home.
She brought over the couple’s pets. She had been looking after the animals, and now she was back at Brynfield.
The moment the door was opened, Snowball came running wagging its tail.
Serenity was startled. At a closer look, she squatted and stroked Snowball’s head. She said to Zachary, “How did Snowball get so big?”
Zachary was not keen on little animals. He only allowed pets at home because he loved Serenity too much. He gave Serenity Snowball and two cats when Serenity expressed her desire to have pets.
Snowball loved it when Serenity stroked its head. However, Zachary stood far away in case the fur got all over him.
“Mrs. Lane has really looked after them. The thing is getting fatter by the day.
“The cats are chonky too. The three of them look like the three little pigs.”
Rising to her feet, Serenity snapped back, “Snowball has a name. It’s not a thing. You’re not very nice to Snowball.”
Zachary pursed his lips. “Fine. It’s Snowball, not a thing.”
Mrs. Lane said hello to the couple with a smile.
“Put these in the freezer, Mrs. Lane.”
Zachary gave the prepped free–range chicken from his mother to Mrs. Lane.
Mrs. Lane took the bag for a look before remarking, “You bought a lot of chickens, sir.”
