She learned that trick from Jasmine.
It was very useful at first, and Zack was elated when she used it on him. However, it was not useful now–he wanted a real kiss.
Jasmine grinned. “It’s because Mr. York has experienced something sweeter before. Of course he’d want something more.”
Serena’s face flushed red.
“When will you and Mr. Bucham be inviting us to your wedding?” Serena changed the topic. “I’m still waiting for your wedding invitation.”
Her wedding with Zack was set to be after fall–still a long way from now.
Jasmine’s expression was somewhat blissful. “He hasn’t proposed to me yet. I’ll agree to marry him whenever he proposes. Don’t worry, you can’t run away from my wedding banquet.”
Josh was already planning on how he was going to propose.
Ten minutes later, Serena heard the sound of a car honking and spoke to her friend before taking her phone that was left on the table. She went around the counter and left.
After a few steps, she turned back and picked up her bag. “I forgot to take the bag that Zack gave me. He’ll pull a long face if I don’t go out with it.”
Jasmine laughed. “What a blissful worry.”
Serena held the branded bag Zack gave her and walked out of the bookstore. The two bodyguards saw that it was Zack who came to pick her up and very sensibly did not follow her again.
Zack got out of the car, holding a bouquet in one hand and opening the car door for her with the other. He passed the bouquet to Serena when she approached.
“This is for you, honey.”
“Thanks, babe.”
Serena took the bouquet, smiled and kissed Zack’s face, and got into the car.
Zack touched the place she kissed with a smile in his eyes, then followed her into the car.
“Honey, I brought you some pastries for afternoon tea.”
Zack got into the car and handed two boxes of pastries to Serena.
Serena smiled and took the boxes, complimenting him, “You’re getting more and more. considerate, babe.”
She leaned over and left a peck on his cheek again, whispering in his ear, “Love you.”
Zack held her shoulder and whispered back into her ear, “I love you too.”
Jim, who was sitting in the passenger seat, thought, ‘Mr. Zack, please spare a bachelor like me.‘
Jim and his colleagues also wanted to fall in love after watching Zack and Serena show off their affection every day.
Serena placed the bouquet at her side and took a box of pastries while asking, “Do your want to eat together?”
“You go ahead. I’ve never liked sweets, but I’ll eat them if you make them personally.”
Serena did not force him since she knew that he did not have a sweet tooth. She ate with relish under his doting eyes.
“Do you know which hotel my granddad and the others are staying in? I’ll go straight to them after getting the results. I’ll be making the first move this time.”
Serena wanted to settle the issue of the house as soon as possible.
“Yeah, I had someone keep an eye on them. They’re staying in a budget hotel. I’IL accompany you to see them after we get the results.”
John was furious after his car tires were slashed by Chelsea, and his car was towed away again. He yelled that he wanted to settle the score and claim compensation from Chelsea.
He was getting his tires changed today, so he did not have a car to use for now. Old Mr. Hunt and the others stayed in the budget hotel and watched TV in boredom.
“Seren, if the DNA test results show that your dad really isn’t their biological child…”
Serena said firmly, “That’s impossible. My dad is definitely their biological child. He takes after my granddad the most.”
Zack had never seen his father–in–law before, not even his pictures, so he did not know how much his father–in–law resembled Old Mr. Hunt.
In any case, they would soon get the results of the DNA test and find out whether or not Scott was Old Mr. Hunt’s biological son.
When they arrived at the center, Zack accompanied Serena to get the results.
After reading the report, Serena took out her cell phone and took a picture of the report to send to her sister.
“What does it say?”
Zack had not seen the results yet. He watched her actions but could not see a smile on her face, so he assumed his father–in–law really was not the biological son of Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt.
“The results say that my granddad and I are related by blood. My dad is their biological child.”
“They’re actually related by blood? With how badly they treat you, I always thought you weren’t biologically related.”
Serena looked at her husband and seemed amused. “You sound like you were hoping my dad wasn’t their biological child.”
Zack said sheepishly, “They’re so ruthless that I thought your dad wasn’t their own. How can they do this when he’s their actual son? It’s heartbreaking.”
“My sister and I had our hearts broken by them long ago. We’ll never reconcile in our lifetime.”
Serena put the results away. She had not received a reply from her sister yet, so she guessed that Liberty should be sleeping.
The business at All You Can Eat was booming, and Liberty was turning a profit, but it was tiring. She had to get up early since she was running a breakfast diner, so she would catch up on her sleep with Sonny in the afternoon.
They would sleep until the evening and get up to eat a simple dinner, then Liberty had to start preparing and shopping for ingredients for the next day.
Some of the dishes had a long prep time, so Serena would go over and help her sister when she had the time. If they prepared the food the previous night and kept it fresh in the refrigerator, it would save a lot of work the next day.
Zack knew which budget hotel Old Mr. Hunt and the others were staying in. He accompanied Serena and went there straight with his group of bodyguards.
John was not in the hotel, but Old Mr. Hunt and his two sons, as well as his eldest grandson, Mike, were there.
The four of them sat on the bed playing cards, When they heard a knock on the door, Mike. went to open the door while still holding onto his cards.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me, Serena.”
The Hunt family were surprised to hear Serena’s voice.
Mike opened the door and saw Serena standing outside. Beside her was Zack, and a group of bodyguards brought up the rear. The bodyguards were all tall and sturdy. Their eyes stared coldly at Mike, making him feel slightly intimidated.
He stammered and asked Serena, “What do you want? W–Wait. W–Why are you here?”
