“Don’t worry, Ms. Hunt. Take your time with breakfast. Your sister just called me and said. that she sent Sonny to the store. Ms. Sox is already there. She told us to head directly to the store later. There’s no need to drop by her new place.”

Serenity sighed in relief and sat down at the dining table.
Mrs. Lane prepared sandwiches for her today with all kinds of fillings, as well as a pot of black coffee.
Black coffee…
Serenity took out her phone and photographed the pot of coffee, then sent it to the petty

Unsurprisingly, Zachary did not reply to her.
Serenity grumbled.
“Are the sandwiches not good, Ms. Hunt?”
Mrs. Lane heard Serenity grumble and thought the sandwiches she made were lousy. She asked, “What kind of sandwiches do you fancy? Tell me and I’ll make them for you tomorrow.”
“I’m not a picky eater, Mrs. Lane. I like all kinds of sandwiches.
“You sit down too. Let’s talk while we eat.”
With Zachary not at home, Mrs. Lane was a lot more comfortable.
Although Zachary acted gentle in front of Serenity, he was a prestigious person. Mrs. Lane did not feel at ease dining at the same table as him.
“Mrs. Lane, you’ve been a nanny for Zachary’s ninth cousin for a few years and have known Zachary for several years, right? Do you think he’s overbearing and self-centered? He demands that other people don’t hide anything from him.”
Mrs. Lane was taking a sip of oatmeal. After listening to Serenity, she looked up and asked with concern, “Ms. Hunt, why are you asking that?”
Serenity sipped the coffee and said, “I think I quarreled with Zachary last night. It seems we’re in a cold war again.”
Mrs. Lane was speechless.
It had just been one night, but here they were having another squabble, and a cold war at that.
“Why did you quarrel with Mr. York?”
Recently, Zachary and Serenity were obviously getting along very well. The couple slept in the same room, and Grandma May saw the couple’s feelings heating up and seemed to have stabilized, so she packed up her luggage and moved back to the old residence.

It was also to avoid the Stone family.
“It was just before going to bed. I sent him a message, he called, and we chatted for a while. I was sleepy and he was still busy, so I quickly ended the call because I didn’t want to disturb him. I didn’t tell him about my sister’s fight with her ex-in-laws.
“Maybe Mr. Lewis called him and mentioned that incident, so he quickly called me to question me, asking why I didn’t tell him about that incident. He even said that I don’t treat him like family.”
Serenity took another sip of coffee
“Where did you buy this coffee, Mrs. Lane? It’s so bitter.”
This would suit that petty man’s taste.
“Say, he’s on a business trip and not at home. I didn’t tell him because I didn’t want him to worry for no reason. He couldn’t come back to help us anyway. Besides, we can solve things on our own. We can’t always wait for him to return to handle everything, right?
“Just because I didn’t mention my sister’s incident, he said that I don’t treat him as family. In that case, he doesn’t treat me as his family either. Since the beginning of our marriage, he held his guard up against me, questioning me and thinking that I had married him because I wanted his money. He thought I wanted his house so I didn’t have to rent a place after marrying him.”
Mrs. Lane was speechless.
“He even made me sign an agreement where nine out of the ten conditions were restrictions on me, but I endured it. We got married out of convenience, so he was cautious about me and suspected me. He made me sign a contract saying that we would divorce peacefully within six months if we don’t develop feelings for each other.
“I agreed to every single one of his terms, but then he accidentally destroyed my agreement and played dumb, saying that I remembered wrongly and he never asked me to sign any agreement. Fine, I played along since he wanted to go back on his words, but has he been completely honest with me as well?
“Mrs. Lane, even you know where his home is, right? But I don’t. I’ve been married to him for so long, but although I’ve met his family, I don’t even know where my in-laws live.”
