Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145

Everybody in the neighborhood knew how close the sisters were.

Liberty kept the matter from her sister to save her the worry.

“Thank you, Mrs. Zaks.” Serenity thanked Mrs. Zaks before continuing her quick walk toward her sister‘s residential building while dragging Zachary along.

“My brother–in–law was angry that my sister hadn‘t cooked lunch for him when I dropped her off the other day. Hank looked like he wanted to hit my sister, but he wiped that look off his face when he saw me,” Serenity babbled to Zachary.

“Why didn‘t my sister let me know?”

Serenity felt bad for her sister. Women gained a second chance in life when they got married. Her sister‘s second chance in life did not seem smooth sailing.

Hank‘s attitude toward Liberty changed for the worse less than three years into the marriage.

Zachary replied firmly, “Your sister doesn‘t want you to worry. Mrs. Zaks said that your sister chased your brother – in law down a few streets with a knife. It means your sister had the upper hand. Don‘t worry. It will be fine.”

It was hard for Serenity to take her mind off it.

Nevertheless, she did not dwell on the matter further with Zachary. She pulled Zachary up the stairs and pulled out the key her sister had given her to open the door.

Liberty was cooking in the kitchen. Detecting the sound of the door opening, she thought Hank was home. She picked up her pan and came out of the kitchen. She would not hold back if Hank had the nerve to lay his hands on her again.

Hank had not contacted her since returning to his parents ‘home. Nevertheless, her in–laws had bombarded her phone with hate messages and badmouthing her in the Browns‘ family group chat. Her in–laws brought together other relatives to accuse Liberty of her failure as a wife that warranted a beating from her husband.

In short, they were saying that she deserved it. Hank was not at fault. She was at fault instead.
