Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 5343

While laughing, Jane said to Ben, “Lilian has Tim wrapped around her little finger.”

“That’s their thing as a couple. It takes two to tango.”

Ben chuckled.

Lilian had Tim eating at the palm of her hand. It was not like Tim could win her in a fight or an argument. Plus, Lilian was well-versed in medicine and poison. She could slip him a toxin and put Tim through hell and back if he ever upset her.

Tim was the one who wanted to marry Lilian. At the time, Lilian was not interested. All she was after was his seed to have a baby and give the legendary doctor a grandchild.

It took a lot of shameless pestering from Tim to bag Lilian and marry her.

He chose his wife, so he was stuck with her for better or worse.

Of course, Tim and Lilian were happily married. Tim spoiled his wife as much as Ben did Jane.

His feelings were reciprocated, too. She was not one to poison Tim unnecessarily. At most, she would only scare him into throwing his hands in the air and surrendering.

“It’s late. We should get some rest. You need to let Laurence know ahead of time when you’re heading over.”

“Got it.”

Jane and Ben got up and went upstairs, hand-in-hand.

Tim, dragged home by Lilian after an unsuccessful attempt to get Ben’s help, texted Oliver in secret, asking him to cry the roof down just like way back then. Then, Tim would have an excuse not to look after the child and could join Lilian’s trip to Havenmill.

Oliver had to read the message from Tim several times before he was sure his eyes were not deceiving him. He asked, [Dad, do you know my age?

[I know I was a handful when I was a child, and that was then. Kids cry. I’m in my twenties now. I’ll be turning thirty in a few years. Why are you telling me to bawl my eyes out?
