Chapter 175
The couple walked down the stairs together. Zachary went for his morning run while Serenity rode her e–bike to the market. She was mounting the bike when Zachary reminded her, “Get extra groceries to bring to your shop. You can cook your lunch. You should stop ordering takeout.”
“Got it.”
“I’ll have the Wiltspoon Hotel deliver meals to you every day if I catch you with another takeout.”
Serenity turned her head to shoot him an angry look. “Squanderer!”
Zachary made a wry face.
Not too far away, the bodyguard, who pretended to pass by, nearly snickered after overhearing Serenity.
Refusing to spend another minute with the squanderer, Serenity rode her bike away.
“The girl doesn’t know what’s good for her!” Zachary waited until she was long gone before making that snide comment.
Serenity looked around the marketplace and bought a lot of fresh vegetables and long-lasting melons to stuff the fridge. The potatoes, carrots, and onions were placed in a ventilated bag on the floor.
After a change of clothes from his morning run, Zachary emerged and looked at her haul. He was twitching by the corner of his ”
Still, he said nothing.
Serenity got straight to making the pasta dish.
She bought some pork belly too. First, she got the ingredients ready by slicing the pork and dicing the tomatoes. She proceeded to stir the tomatoes on the stove until pureed.
Zachary watched from the kitchen door before moving to the balcony. He sat on the swing and admired the mini garden while swaying with the breeze. It was rather relaxing. No wonder Serenity would take the time to sit here every day.
Ring, ring…
Zachary’s phone rang.
It was an incoming call from Josh.
Zachary took the call but kept his voice down in case his wife in the kitchen might hear him.
“Boss, Serenity’s ridiculous relatives found a mediator. They’re going to try and resolve issues with her.”
Many matters concerning the CEO’s wife would pass through Josh’s hands. He would be the first to know of any update.
With his eyes turning cold and dark, he asked callously, “Haven’t you shut them down?”
“No. It’s going easy on them if we squash them right away. We should fool around with him a little so they lose everything they own bit by bit. Now that’s what I call revenge.
“Since they have their backs against the wall whether in their work or business, they’re more anxious than the missus. They had looked for Serenity to resolve their differences, but the missus refused. They have now turned to a mediator from some TV program for help.”
Zachary replied indifferently, “I don’t care whatever TV program it is. Just deal with them. Don’t let those people harass my wife.”
Josh chuckled. “You seem angry.
“Alright. I’ll get it done and put the word out that the TV producers can expect their shows to be canceled if any of their mediators bothers the missus. These mediators make crass comments without knowing the full story. They sure have the nerve to talk people into forgiving and forgetting when they had never experienced the hardships themselves.”
For all the things the Hunts had done to Serenity and Liberty, anybody with a bit of decency would not persuade Serenity to settle with the Hunts.
It was easy for the mediators to say anything when it was not their heads on the chopping block.
“Boss, did the missus give you any packed breakfast today? Can you ask her to pack extras? I want to sample her cooking.”
“Get lost!” Zachary abruptly ended the call. Josh remarked, “Tch, tch. Would
k at that! Jealousy isn’t a nice color on him.”
