Chapter 789
Zachary still had not come out when Serenity finished preparing breakfast.
She entered the room and looked at the man lying on the bed for a long moment before reaching out to put her hand under his nostrils to check if he was breathing. She then felt his forehead. He was still alive and didn’t have a fever either.
“He didn’t just come back this morning, did he? Why is he sleeping so much?”
Serenity mumbled but did not shake Zachary awake. Instead, she began to pack their clothes. Once he woke up and had breakfast, they could leave.
Ring, ring, ring…
Liberty was calling.
“Hey, Liberty.”
“Have you and Zachary left yet?”
“Not yet. He’s still sleeping. We’ll leave once he wakes up and has his breakfast. What’s up?”
Liberty said, “Then wait for me at home. I’ll go over there right now. I prepared some gifts for you two but I forgot to pass them to you.”
“Liberty, there’s no need. It’s raining outside and the wind is blowing hard. It’s freezing out there and you don’t have a car! Mrs. Lane’s not around either. If you bring Sonny out with you, Sonny will get frostbite. If you really want to give us something, when Zachary and I call you on New Year’s Day, you can just send us some Apple cash. It’s the thought that counts.”
Wiltspoon’s tradition of gift–giving was all about well–intentions; how much the gift cost did not matter. Normally, gifts would cost about ten to twenty dollars. Even the closest relative gave gifts in the range of two hundred dollars. This was not exclusive to Wiltspoon and applied to just about the whole province. The area was famous in the country for giving the cheapest gifts.
Liberty thought about it for a moment before saying, “That’s fine by me too.”
“Liberty, are you really not coming with us?”
“No, it’s enough for me to spend the holidays with just Sonny. Now that I don’t have to cook for the whole family and serve them constantly, I’ll take advantage of this time when my breakfast cafe hasn’t opened yet to bring Sonny for proper sightseeing out and about Wiltspoon.”
All the while she was married to Hank, she had not been out to sightsee.

Finally we are here, thank you for progress in this story. Well done 👏 ✔ 👍 👌...
A big change is happening to the story now. 6 years had past. Looking forward on where this story revolves. Hoping the story will be as good as before. Now focusing on the younger brothers but hoping to include the older characters. Thanks writer and interpreter for maintaining and using the English names....
Thank you writer and interpreter for bringing back and writing in English names...
Stop deleting my comments...
I feel like I betrayed this site caus I had to go to novel drama to continue this novel... They have the real thing there from chapter 182...
I'm seeing Vivian, bill, Julie, maria... Who are these ?...
Need English names, makes the whole story hard to follow....
Please go back to english names. Its been too long that we are reading this novel commitedly. Its like a torture to your loyal readers who can not focus on the story after living with the characters for so long. Please change your interpreter....
Please, please go back to original characters and stop with the repetitive pages. Furthermore the missing chapters from 4389-4412 are still missing. This stopping and starting is getting old. You going to lose all your readers...
Can you hire back the original interpreter or the ones who knows the original name? I think the current interpreter does not want to exert effort on studying the previous names. Please satisfy your readers. We have read the story for a long time. We are patronizing you for this long....
