Chapter 791
Munching on a piece of chicken, Serenity said, “You threw a big tantrum and a fuss, saying that I didn’t see you as a family before I could tell you. Take a look in the
mirror. You didn’t tell me that Mr. Bucham asked you out for drinks. It gave me nightmares.”
Zachary fell silent before uttering, “It’s my fault. I’ll bring you along when Mr. Bucham asks me out next time. You can stop me from drinking, and they can’t make me drink then.”
“They would think you’re a hen–pecked husband.”
“Then so be it. They’re single, so they can’t be hen–pecked husbands even if they want to.”
Amused, Serenity laughed.
She stayed out of his business for the most part so long as Zachary did not do anything that could jeopardize his health.
After filling her belly, Serenity did one last check on the things they were taking with them. The couple made sure nothing was left behind before heading out.
First, they had to drop the three pets and the car keys at Liberty’s.
Liberty took the opportunity to give them Christmas presents when the couple arrived.
With Zachary behind the wheel, he drove his wife to the Yorks‘ old residence for the festive holidays.
Although Serenity long knew that Whitmore Mansion was passed down through generations and steeped in history, she was stunned when she feasted her eyes on the old residence. The family was living large back in the day.
There were no skyscrapers, only quaint buildings. The fence around the residence was tall with security cameras installed everywhere. The security system was top-notch.
The manor was decked out with pavilions, winding corridors, an artificial hill, and a pond. Walking into the estate was like traveling through time.
“Zachary, you’d be a rich heir if you were born in that era.”
