Chapter 627

Mrs. Lane answered the call. “I made an excuse to take out the trash so I could speak with you, Mr. Zachary,” she explained. “Why are you only responding now? The missus is probably at the bar right now.”

Zachary replied solemnly, “Which bar is she at? I worked all night and couldn’t stay awake this afternoon, so I took a nap. I just saw your message now that I’m awake.”

Mrs. Lane thought to herself, ‘No wonder Mr. Zachary went quiet after I sent the message; he was asleep.’

“Where is Serenity drinking?”

Zachary realized he was the reason Serenity had gone to the bar, and he felt a twinge of regret. Why had he acted so pettishly? He had made a fuss because she hadn’t informed him about Liberty being harassed by her former mother-in-law. Reflecting on it, Zachary acknowledged that he had indeed been petty. Serenity was an independent woman; she couldn’t rely on him for everything.

“I don’t know which bar she’s at. I overheard she was going for drinks with Ms. Sox to vent their emotions,” Mrs. Lane replied.

After a brief silence, Zachary said, “Okay. I understand.”

Once he ended the call with Mrs. Lane, Zachary immediately contacted Josh. As soon as the call connected, he got straight to the point. “Josh, I need you to find out which bar Jasmine and Serenity are at and how long they’ve been there.”

“Jasmine is drinking? Why didn’t she invite me?” Josh asked.

“Alright, alright. I’ll get right on it. I’ll head over there and drive them home once I find out, okay?”

Josh added, “Why did they suddenly decide to go drinking? They could’ve invited me—I have my dad’s treasured wine collection. They didn’t need to go all the way to a bar.”

Zachary hesitated briefly before saying, “I had a fight with Serenity.”
