Chapter 21

[Serenity & Zachary]
Zachary watched as Serenity picked the flowers and haggled with the florist. She
lowered the price by half from fifty bucks for a potted plant. Not to mention, she made it
seem like the florist would not get a better deal than what she was offering. It wa s
intriguing, to say the least.
He was not one to look at the price tag or bargain when shopping.
Too bad for the florist though because his wife could drive a hard bargain. The look on
the florist’s face was priceless.
After paying up, Serenity carried th e flowerpots one by one into Zachary’s car.
At first, Zachary stood by the car and watched but later realized he was standing out for
the wrong reasons as the girl was doing the heavy lifting herself. He then helped
Serenity transport the flowers until his vehicle was filled to the brim.
It was a good thing the florist gave them some flattened cardboard to lay on the seats.
That was better than getting his seats soiled.
“Do you need anything else?” Zachary asked his wife as he got into the car.
“The car is too full to put anything else. That’s it for today. It w on’t take a day or two to
furnish a place. I’ll take my time to
get the stuff and decorate our house.”
With Serenity buckling up, she whipped out her phone to look at the time. She then sa id
to Zachary, “Let’s head back. I need to make a trip to my sister’s later.”
Zachary quietly started the car.
“Mr. York.”
“Yes?”
“Nana and your parents are coming to visit on the weekend. Can | ask my sister to
come along with her husband for dinner? My s ister’s family is all I got. Even though we
didn’t marry for love, we should meet each other’s family.”
Otherwise, their families would be oblivious if they ever bumped into each other on the
streets.

Serenity had grandparents, aunts, and uncles living in the rural area, but they did not
take too kindly to Serenity and Liberty as they were girls. After Serenity’s parents
passed away in a car crash, none of the family members stepped up to take the sisters
in. However, these family members did not hesitate t o walk away with a share of the
parents’ life insurance.
The house left behind by Serenity’s parents was occupied by her grandparents.
Serenity did not bother returning to her parent’s home, nor did she see the grandparents
as family.
Despite refusing to t ake in the girls when their parents passed away, the grandparents
had the nerve to demand support funds when Liberty got married. The sisters called
their grandparents out on hypocrisy while Liberty stood firmly on her ground, stopping
her husband from pay ing the grandparents to make
the problem disappear.
In the end, the grandparents stormed off in a fuss without receiving a penny. They did
not attend Liberty’s wedding either.
In Serenity’s eyes, Liberty was her parent and guardian.
Zachary did not refuse and replied faintly, “Yes, of course. Let your sister know to meet
my family here on Saturday.”
“Sure.”
Soon, they were back at Brynfield.
With the car parked downstairs, Serenity worked her muscles and started moving the
potted plants upstairs while Zacha ry sought help from the neighborhood security
guards. He gave the security guards a lump sum to move these potted plants up.
There was no need to strain themselves if a problem could be solved with money.
Although Serenity thought Zachary was careless with his money, it was not her place to
point that out since they were still strangers to each other. In a way, she could take it as
him trying to be nice and take the load off her. The money spent was kind of worth it,
she guessed.
One corner of the balcony w as quickly filled with flowers.
Zachary walked the security guards to the door while Serenity tried to visualize her
concept at the balcony. The balcony was huge. Even though she bought a trunk full of
plants, they only occupied a corner. The flower stands had not been put up, and she

was running out of time. She would have to get to it after getting off work early later
today.
“What’s the matter?”
“The balcony is too big. I’m not getting the picture I’m visualizing.”
Zachary took a glance around. Yeah, she was right. His voice was flat. “What visuals
are y ou expecting? Are you thinking about a mini garden?”
Serenity bobbed her head.
“ Are you going to your sister’s now? You should head over. I’ll head back to the florist
and get more flowers.”
Serenity looke d at the time and asked, “What time do you start work? “I can leave for
work a little later.”
