Chapter 3

"l will, Nana."

Serenity casually responded.- Although Grandma May was nice to her, Zachary was her blood relative while Serenity was only related to the family by marriage.

Serenity found it hard to believe that the Yorks would stand by Serenity during a conflict between her and Zachary.

Such was the case with her sister's parents-in-law.

Before marriage, the in-laws were nothing but good to Serenity’s sister to the point their birth daughter was jealous.

It was a different story after the wedding.

Every time Serenity's sister got into a disagreement with the husband, her mother-in-law would get on Serenity's sister's case about being a bad wife.

In short, the son was always family while the daughter-in-law remained as an outsider.

"You must be heading to work, so I should get out of your hair.I’ll get Zack to get you home for dinner tonight."

"Nana, I'm closing the shop pretty late at night.I probably won't be able to make it.Can we reschedule for the weekend?"

The school was off on weekends.

Since the bookshops livelihood depended on students, business was slow on days when school was out.

She would have time and no need to set up shop during such occasions.

"Sure."

Grandma May thoughtfully added, "The weekend, it is.Go on with your work then."

The old lady hung up the call.

Instead of heading straight to the shop, Serenity sent a text message to her best friend, Jasmine Sox, that she would make it back before the last school bell rang.

With one major milestone ticked off her list, Serenity had to let her sister know and move out of her place.

About ten minutes later, Serenity arrived at her sister's home.

Her brother-in-law had gone to work while her sister was hanging clothes out to dry on the balcony.

Seeing that Serenity was home, her sister expressed her concern.
