Chapter 603
Serenity left her sister’s rented place and arrived home at half–past ten at night.
She opened the door to the pitch–dark house.
Was Nana not at home?
Was she asleep?
Serenity stepped into the house and turned on the light. She then closed and locked the door behind her. After much thought, she opened the door and grabbed a pair of Zachary’s loafers to put at the front door.
It was to show others that there was a man in the house.
It was a safety measure.
“You’re back, Ms. Hunt.”
Hearing the noise, Mrs. Lane came out of her bedroom.
“Yeah.” Serenity asked, “Is Nana asleep?”
“Old Mrs. York went back. Your brother–in–law picked her up. She thought you wouldn’t be home tonight, so she told me to inform you when you return tomorrow.”
Serenity was surprised. “Nana went home?”
Mrs. Lane replied, “Old Mrs. York said she moved in with you because she got into a fight with your husband. Now that they made up, she moved back to her house.”
She believed Old Mrs. York was afraid to be seen by the Stones, so the old lady brought forward the plan to move back to her place.
The missus would be hanging around the Stones a lot since it was confirmed that she was the niece of Mrs. Stone. Old Mrs. York would be staying away from the Stones until Mr. Zachary confessed the truth to the missus.
