Chapter 536 “That‘s hard to say. I’ll be back once my work there is done.” “Let me know when’s your
trip. I’ll help you pack and drive you to the airport.” Since Serenity did not have a change of clothes in
his bedroom, she intended to return to her room to get dressed and wash up. With Serenity about to
leave, Zachary reached out to pull her back. His dark eyes were fixed on her beautiful
face. “That‘s it?” Serenity was without a word.
She blinked, unable to get the message he was trying to convey.
What else if not that? Was he expecting her to see him off at the city he was conducting business
in? “Can family tag along too?” Zachary was
twitching by the corners of his mouth. “Since I can‘t go with you, is it not enough that I‘ll drive you to the
airport?” Zachary’s hand over hers loosened.
Serenity stared at his hand and uttered with a frown, “I thought you had been slick with your words
lately, but you lost it now. You just keep me guessing by leaving things hanging. I‘m not smart enough
to read your mind. “I‘m going to change out of my pajamas. Are we going out for
breakfast or having it at home?” Serenity asked while walking out. “You can decide.” Detecting the
grumpiness in his tone, Serenity stopped at the bedroom door and looked back at him before opening
the door and leaving. As Serenity came face-to-face with Grandma May, she wished the old face a
good morning like nothing ever happened. “Good morning, Nana.” “Morning.”
Grandma May watched happily as Serenity came out of her grandson’s bedroom,
Although the couple did nothing, at least they were sleeping in the same bed. This was progress. They
ended up having breakfast at home. Serenity made the grandmother and grandson a simple breakfast.
Ring, ring, ring…
Serenity’s phone rang.
Thinking it was her sister, Serenity grabbed her phone and looked at the display screen. It was
an unfamiliar number.
She grimaced. Any foreign number that showed up on her phone basically belonged to her
unscrupulous relatives. Since Elisa stood up for her the last time, these people had called it quits for a
while. What were they up to now that they were calling her again? With no desire to take the call,
Serenity rejected it.
They dialed her number once more. She cut the call.
After their third attempt, Serenity slammed her cutlery down.
The grandmother and grandson looked at
her. She held the phone and took the call, reflecting her attitude through her icy tone. “What do you
want now?”
“Serenity, I‘m your granddad!” Scowling at the harsh question, Old Mr. Hunt wanted to give her a piece
of his mind but the thought of his grandchildren’s present predicament held his tongue. “So?”
“Can‘t you be nicer? I‘m your granddad, your elder! Don’t you have any respect for your elders? I don’t
know how your parents raised you.” “I’m sorry, but my parents passed away when I was young, so they
couldn’t raise me like that. What? Are you going to tell on me to my parents? Well, go on. My dad is
your son. Show him you’re his father and give him a good dressing-down.” Old Mr. Hunt’s complexion
turned red with rage. “Are you hurrying me to my grave?” His son and daughter-in-law had been gone
for more than a decade. Serenity was telling him to take the issue to his son and daughter-in-law in the
afterlife.
