Chapter 1124
Well, Grandma May was occupied getting her other grandsons to ditch the singlehood.
Inspired by her first successful matchmaking, the old lady wanted to keep the momentum going and put her other grandsons,
who were at the right age to marry but stayed single anyway, on the market.
All that was left to do then was to wait for the birth of her great-granddaughter.
A reward of five hundred million dollars would be given to the one who would give her a great-granddaughter!
Zachary had a moment to himself as he finished his breakfast and read the paper for fifteen minutes on the sofa in the living
room. He then got up and walked out of the house to get to work.
Prior to leaving, he reminded Mrs. Lane to take good care of Serenity. By the worried look on his face, Mrs. Lane was tempted to
suggest he brought Serenity to work with him.
“Jim.”
Before getting into the car, Zachary suddenly told Jim, “You don’t have to follow me today. I need you to do something for me. Go
to the Hunts’ hometown and find Noah. You are free to coerce or threaten him, but he needs to pluck several strands of Old Mr.
Hunt’s hair with follicles. He can’t cut the old man’s hair with scissors. Make sure to transport Old Mr. Hunt’s hair in a ziplock
bag.”
Jim respectfully answered, “Sure. I’ll get going now.”
Zachary then got into the car and left the villa on the hilltop under the escort of his security detail.
Halfway to the office, Zachary recalled during their intimate moment, Serenity talked about taking Sonny to the bookstore so
Liberty could focus on the business. He instructed the chauffeur, “Go to All You Can Eat. It’s on the street leading up to Lewis &
Co.”
Since Zachary and Duncan were best friends, the chauffeur often ferried his boss to Lewis & Co. Hearing that it was on the same
street, the chauffeur immediately rerouted.
Liberty had put out a hiring yesterday, so a lot of people had inquired about the job since yesterday afternoon.
While she had only intended to hire one person, Liberty finally decided upon two middle- aged women who appeared rather
honest and good with their hands. They were the hardworking kind who would not quit halfway as they had a family to feed.
The two waitresses were starting work today.
It was past the morning rush hour when Zachary arrived at the breakfast diner. Still, the diner was packed with people. There
were laborers who got off work from a graveyard shift. Hearing that a new breakfast place had opened, everybody came to try
the tasty and new variety of food.
Liberty and the two waitresses barely had time to pause for a break.
Sonny was sitting behind the cash register, slumping against the chair asleep.
It was hard for kids to last through the morning after waking up early.
Having no time to look after her son, Liberty simply draped a jacket over Sonny.
Zachary walked into the scene, feeling bad for his nephew.
Drawing close, Zachary picked Sonny up from the chair and told his sister-in-law. “I’m taking Sonny with me, Liberty.”
Liberty stopped working for a second and approached Zachary with a question, “Is it convenient for you? He can rest here if
you’re busy. I accidentally woke him as I was getting up this morning. He stayed awake with me for several hours until now. He’s
exhausted.
“Where’s Seren?”
“She’s still asleep. It’s okay. I’ll take Sonny to the office. He can sleep in my private resting room. Sonny’s a well-behaved boy.
He won’t bother me.”
Even if Sonny was awake, Zachary had a big enough office for him to run around and play.
As someone who had been there, Liberty got the message when she heard her sister was still asleep. She wanted to remind the
couple to show some restraint, but it was not her place to tell Zachary off. Liberty uttered with a smile, “Alright then. Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. I’m really fond of Sonny.”
“Sonny takes long naps, so he’ll probably be up in the afternoon. Call me when he wakes up. I’ll come and pick him up.”
Even if Zachary took her son away, Sonny would not be much of a bother as he would be asleep for a while. Hence, Liberty felt
comfortable leaving Sonny in Zachary’s care.
No sooner had Zachary taken Sonny away than Hank entered the breakfast diner with Jessica.
