Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2952

Carrie smiled and nodded. “Yes, we’re quite close and my in-laws are busy with work, and so is my husband. I’m the only one who has free time on my hands, so naturally, the responsibility for her care has fallen to me. She’s really clingy and is closer to me than to my mother-in-law.”

“That’s why I have to drop her off and pick her up every day. She refuses to let the driver or the nanny do it.”

Carrie realized she was getting better at making things up.

Besides, all she needed to do was turn up here and occasionally bump into Serenity. It was not like she needed to actually pick up a kid and leave with one.

Serenity said, “Kids are like that. She’ll feel closer to whoever’s there for her all the time. My nephew’s really close to me too. He doesn’t even make a fuss crying for his mother whenever she goes on business trips.”

“Right? My sister-in-law’s the same.”

Carrie very patiently discussed the difficulties of raising a kid with Serenity.

Serenity had been helping Liberty to take care of Sonny before she got married and had experience raising a child. Now that she was pregnant, her motherly instinct was running wild and she could go on and on about discussing children.

The two chatted quite a bit until they spotted the teacher leading Sonny out.

Carrie grabbed this opportunity to say to Serenity, “Hey, can I get your contact? If my little brother-in-law needs any reference materials in the future, I’ll just get them directly from your store. I won’t have to run around helping him look for them then.”

Serenity did not agree to her request and instead, all she said was, “My bookstore is right there and won’t move anywhere. If he needs anything, you can just get it there.”

Carrie was angry that Serenity did not agree to exchange their contact information, but she desperately suppressed it to force a smile. “Okay. I’ll go there to take a look if I need anything in the future. Oh, right. I’m married into the Longbottom family. We’re not native Wiltspoonians, but my husband has businesses all over the country and we have houses in all the major cities.

“We only settled in Wiltspoon because my mother-in-law likes it.”

Serenity and Jasmine were good friends, and Jasmine was Josh’s wife too on top of that. Plus, Josh was a Bucham. If Zachary needed to look into anything, he would typically get Josh to do it.

Carrie was worried Serenity would get the Buchams to look into the Longbottoms so she lied that they were not locals and had settled in Wiltspoon. They normally kept a low profile and rarely attended gatherings and events of the like. Hence, not many people knew of them.

“What about you?”
