Chapter 262
Stuart Hunt was the head of the family. At this moment, he approached Zachary and assessed him. Forcing a smile, he politely inquired, “Are you Serenity’s husband? I’m her oldest uncle, Stuart. Nice to meet you.”
Zachary glanced at the group of Hunts and replied coldly, “What are you all doing here in the middle of the night? Are you trying to scare my wife to death? I must warn you, my wife is timid. She can’t handle shocks like that.”
The Hunts were left speechless.
Timid? Serenity?
If she was considered timid, there would be no brave individuals left on earth.
Although Serenity recognized that he was defending her in front of outsiders, it still felt somewhat strange to hear him refer to her as his wife.
Perhaps because their marriage was one of convenience and lacked emotional connection, they found it difficult to be as intimate as typical couples.
“W—we’re just here to see Serenity. After my younger brother and his wife passed away, Serenity and her sister distanced themselves from us. It’s been a long time since we’ve met, so now that we’re in the city and learned Serenity was here, we came to check on her.”
Stuart Hunt lied without flinching. His audacity made Zachary feel that Elisa Stone might have to take a backseat in shamelessness.
If Elisa Stone had heard this, she would have remarked, “Mr. York, it’s fine if you don’t love me, but don’t insult me by comparing me to such trash.”
“Just now, I heard someone yelling at the top of their lungs, ‘Serenity! Get out here, you damn brat!’ That tone sounded more like someone coming to settle a score or pick a fight.”
When Zachary took things seriously, an ordinary person stood no chance against him.
Stuart Hunt smiled sheepishly and said, “I heard your last name is York? Mr.
“York, you may have misheard,” she said. The other Hunts stayed quiet. “I heard you loud and clear. There are security cameras in the shop as well. Would you like me to show you the recording?”
