Chapter 147
As the sisters only had each other for many years, Liberty understood Serenity well enough to know that her sister would stick up for her. In a deliberate effort to get her sister to stick around, Liberty took out a bottle of wine and enjoyed a glass with Serenity until midnight before letting the couple leave.
Serenity was a lightweight, and Liberty took out a stiff drink. After a glass of wine, Serenity found herself tipsy. She was feeling dizzy and staggering in her footsteps by the time she left her sister’s place.
Liberty saw the young couple off at the door.
She used to attend social engagements with her boss when she was working back then. Having learned to hold her liquor , Liberty could handle a glass of wine just fine.
“Zachary, Seren’s drunk. Please take good care of her,” Liberty urged her brother-in-law.
She got her sister drunk, so Serenity would not go after Hank for payback
Liberty was afraid the Browns would gang up on Serenity if she went to the Browns’ residence.
The Browns were just as absurd as Liberty’s relatives.
“I will take good care of Serenity, Liberty.”
Zachary helped Serenity down the stairs effortlessly. After Serenity nearly fell more than a few times, Zachary had to pick her up and carry her.
“Why did you drink when you couldn’t? Your sister had a reason to bring out that bottle of wine. Yet, you were so foolish to drink it.”
Serenity wrapped her arms around Zachary’s neck while letting out a blech. With the stench of alcohol invading his space , Zachary turned his head away in disdain and said, “Don’t blow your breath at me. You smell of alcohol. It reeks.”
LLLL
“I want to!”
Serenity stuck her face against his. “I’ll stink you to death. Why didn’t you stop me when you saw through my sister’s plans?”
Zachary was not comfortable with her being so close to him and nearly hurled her to the ground.
“Serenity!”
Scowling, he cried, “I know you’re still sober. Don’t you dare try to cop a feel!”
