Chapter 3875
There wasn’t much conversation that night. The next morning, Liberty was still in bed, just beginning to wake up when she heard the sound of the front gate opening. Audrey’s voice floated in as she spoke to the nanny.
“The eldest young lady is here early,” the nanny remarked.
“Yes,” Serenity replied. “My sister’s getting her marriage certificate today, and I couldn’t sleep once I woke up, so I thought I’d come see her.”
Serenity was too excited to rest. Her sister was marrying Duncan today, and the anticipation kept her wide awake. Zachary had tried to coax her back to sleep, but as dawn broke, Serenity dreamed of their late parents and woke up again, her mind filled with thoughts of family. She decided to head over to her parents’ house first thing.
Zachary, who had just started his New Year break and was looking forward to sleeping in, couldn’t resist Serenity’s enthusiasm. True to form, he was up and by her side, heading out early to join her.
“Miss Hunt hasn’t woken up yet,” the nanny mentioned.
“That’s alright; I won’t disturb her,” Serenity said, her voice soft with affection. She brought along nutritional supplements and wedding gifts that she and Zachary had picked out for Liberty.
Last night, Liberty had messaged her to inform her that today was the big day for the marriage certificate. They had planned to hold the wedding itself in early autumn, after Liberty’s baby was born and she was well enough to attend Serenity’s wedding. Although Serenity could attend her sister’s wedding now, Liberty wanted to wait to ensure Serenity’s safety, worried that the crowded event might pose a risk.
While Serenity chatted with the nanny,
Zachary brought in the gifts and supplies they had brought along. “Miss Hunt went to Mr. Lewis’s for dinner last night,” the nanny mentioned. “She told me she took a lot of the supplements the Lewis family sent her to his house. She says they keep sending so many, but she can’t possibly use them all. Now she’s going to laugh when she sees that you brought more!”
Serenity chuckled. “It’s the same for me. I keep telling people I don’t need all these supplements, but every time friends or family visit, they bring more. I can only send some over to my sister.”
Now that Serenity was pregnant, it seemed she had more supplements than anything else. Wiltspoon’s drugstores and department stores must have been cleared out by well-wishers, filling her home with more supplements than any pharmacy. Strangers might think she ran a health-food warehouse given the amount she had.
