Duncan said matter-of-factly, I didn’t want to waste food we spent so much effort to grill.”
In fact, the food that Sonny gave him was food that he had not touched yet. The little boy was very smart He was afraid that Duncan would be disgusted, so he did not give Duncan the food that he ate halfway
Duncan felt that Sonny had a bright future ahead of him.
He was just three years old, but he was so clever and sensible. Furthermore, he was adorable. How he wished that Sonny was his son.
“I gave
Dunc all the food I haven’t touched,” the little boy explained.
Thus, the others did not find it strange.
“Let’s take a break. We’ll have some free time to ourselves.”
Zack spoke to the group.
He wanted to bring his beloved wife on a stroll around their home alone.
The group smiled in understanding.
After a short rest, Zack took Serena away from the barbecue site.
Til take you to the garden to see the flowers. The flowers are in bloom now”
Serena did not refuse. She was not familiar with the place and did not know where the scenery was good, so she followed wherever he brought her to
The spring breeze caressed her face, and Serena could not help but close her eyes and enjoy the wind
The air here is better than in the city.”
Zack smiled “Of course it is. It’s very quiet here too. It’s too bad Liberty’s store is opening tomorrow, or we could stay here for a few more days so you can get more familiar with your new home.”
“I’ll be living in my home for the rest of my life. There’s more than enough time for me to familiarize myself with this place, so there’s no rush. The most important thing now is to help my sister stabilize her business first.”
Zack was very happy with what she said.
Yes, this was her home. It was their home. They would live here for the rest of their lives.
“But the manor is huge. I would get lost if I had to wander by myself without you leading me.”
“It’s easy to get lost in an unfamiliar environment. The layout of the manor is built somewhat like a maze. If a newcomer doesn’t have someone to lead them, they might wander around lost for three days.
Serena was stunned. “Seriously? Thank goodness you’re around to lead me. I’d be embarrassed if I got lost here for three days.”
Zack laughed. “How would I let you walk alone? Of course I’ll show you around and let you familiarize yourself with the place. It’s the first time I’ve taken a woman on a stroll around my family’s villa.”
“What an honor.”
“No, it’s my honor to serve you.”
The couple looked at each other and grinned.
Zack could not help but stop and wrap his arms around his beloved wife. He said huskily, “Honey, let me charge you a service fee, okay? I got excited when I saw how spirited you looked when you were talking to Elisa about investment.”
Serena first looked around to make sure no one was around, then she boldly kissed him.
After the lingering kiss, Zack laced his hands with hers again and walked forward with their fingers interlocked.
He was in a good mood, so the scenery on the sides of the path looked particularly beautiful.
After walking for ten minutes, they entered the garden. Serena felt like she fell into a sea of flowers.
She took her time in the garden and took many pictures.
Finally, she entered the greenhouse. As the gardener introduced the plants, Serena suddenly realized that not only were the many flowers she kept on her balcony the same variety as the ones in the greenhouse, even the flower pots were identical.
The gardener who was in charge of managing the flora in the manor bought the flower pots wholesale, resulting in many of them sharing the same design.
“What’s wrong?”
Zack saw Serena staring at the flower pots and said warmly, “If you like them, let’s take a few pots back and keep them on the balcony.”
“Zack.”
Serena turned to him and asked, “Back then, I asked you to buy flowers from the florist. Did you buy them at the flower shop or have they been sent over from here?”
There was no need to hide the truth anymore, so Zack admitted honestly, “I called Sam and asked him to arrange for someone to send some potted flowers over. I know you like large flowers with complicated petals, so I specifically asked them to pick those flowers and send them over.”
“No wonder I always felt that the flowers you bought were more beautiful than the ones I bought. It’s because they’re a variety carefully cultivated by your gardener.”
The flowers here were much better than the ones found in flower shops.
“Are you angry, honey?”
“What’s there to be angry about? The time to be angry has already passed.”
Zack stood in front of the gardener and wrapped an arm around Serena’s shoulder, turning her to walk out of the greenhouse. He deliberately lowered his voice, probably because he did not want the gardener to hear his words.
“I was terrified back then, I was so afraid that I’d lose you.”
Serena pinched his face and let him go.
“The house appliances I told you to buy were probably also sent by Sam, weren’t they?”
“Yes, Sam sent the appliances over when you weren’t at home.”
Serena laughed wryly. “It must have been really hard on you when you were lying to me.”
“I promise I won’t lie to you again in the future. I really had a tough time. I had to rack my brains to keep covering my tracks, but the lies only snowballed.”
“I thought you lied so much that it became your nature.”
Zack let out a low chuckle. In the end, his lies really became natural
Wildridge Manor was enormous. Due to time constraints, the eldest missus of the York family, could not finish strolling around the manor on her first visit.
Liberty’s breakfast diner would be opening tomorrow, so the lady herself declined the York family’s offer for her to stay Liberty once again got into Duncan’s car and left the manor to return to the city.
Serena and Zack stayed at the manor for the night.
Like Liberty, Elisa and the others left after having dinner.
Duncan chauffeured Liberty and her son back to the city and straight to Liberty’s rented place.
Sonny spent the afternoon playing at the children’s playground in the manor, so he was tired. He fell asleep nestled in his mother’s arms as soon as they got into the car.
“Do you want me to walk you upstairs? Duncan turned his head around to ask.
When he saw that Sonny was asleep, he hurriedly got out of the car to help open Liberty’s door He was just about to take Sonny from her arms
“No, it’s quite late You should go back and rest early, Mr. Lewis ”
Liberty did not give her son to Duncan to carry
