Her sister was right there, and so was Jim.
His romantic gesture made her a little… embarrassed.
The moment he carried her, Serenity got a whiff of that familiar scent on his body and could not resist touching his face.
Yeah, that still felt really good.
Zachary was speechless.
She said she did not want his thoughtfulness, but when he hugged her, she took the opportunity to take advantage of him.
Wait till night fell and she-
Zachary hurriedly stopped himself and halted that train of thought, lest he could not help himself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter placing Serenity on the ground, Zachary went to carry Sonny from the car.
“Uncle Zak,” said Sonny in his childish voice. As Zachary reached out to hug the little guy, he jumped straight toward Zachary. Zachary reacted quickly and caught him easily before raising him high into the air.
Sonny burst into laughter.
After teasing Sonny a little more, Zachary put Sonny down and stopped playing with him. He asked, “Sonny, did you miss Uncle Zak?”
Sonny nodded. “Yeah.”
Zachary had a gentle expression on his face as he bent down to kiss Sonny on both his cheeks. “Uncle Zak missed Sonny a lot too.”
Once Liberty got out of the car, he greeted her as well.
Liberty responded with a smile.
“Ms. Hunt.”
Jim walked over and greeted Serenity.
She smiled and asked, “Are you guys not going hfor the holidays?”
Most of the people in the neighborhood had returned to their parents‘ homes for New Year. Only a minority had stayed in Wiltspoon.
Jim grinned sheepishly as he replied, “It’s expensive to go back. I can’t save up much in a year and once it’s New Year, I have to spend it all anyway. Every year, I’m left with pretty much nothing. So this year, I don’t plan to go back and spend it with my parents. I’m just going to transfer smoney to them. That way, I’ll still have a little left.”
Still smiling, Serenity said, “That’s fair. Or you could also bring your parents over.”
A regular person would only be able to save a few thousand bucks at the end of the year. With all the expenses for the festive season, money would be spent in a flash. Celebrating Christmas and New Year was not cheap indeed.
After buying gifts for one’s relatives, elders, and children, one also had to account for gatherings with friends and old classmates. Just like that, a person’s money would soundlessly evaporate.
Swho had children who were still studying and had tuition fees that needed to be paid had to be extra cautious about their expenditures.
“They don’t like it here. They said they’re not familiar with the people nor the environment here with no one to talk to, so it’s much more comfortable to stay where they are.”
Serenity expressed her understanding.
“Ms. Hunt, Mr. York has askedto help move the things from your car to his car. He said the two of you will be returning to the old residence for New Year.”

Thus, Jim removed everything from Serenity’s car and then moved them to Zachary’s national MPV,
Sof the items were Liberty and Sonny’s, so they remained in Serenity’s car.
Jim was done with the moving in just a few minutes.
Once he was done, Zachary dug out his wallet from his pocket and opened it in front of Serenity. He took out a hundred bucks and handed it to Jim, saying, “Jim, this is the moving fee.”
Jim accepted the hundred–dollar bill and smiled as he thanked Zachary. He then took out his own wallet and shoved the hundred dollars into it. He then said to Zachary and Serenity, “Mr. York, Ms. Hunt, if there’s anything you need in the future, just givea call. I can do anything as long as I’m paid for it.”
Serenity chuckled. “Sure. I’ll definitely give you a call if there’s anything I need help with.”
Jim swept a lightning–quick glance at Zachary and said, “Then I’ll make a move. I’ll be around the neighborhood to see if I can get smore business and earn a little more money to usher the new
year.”
Serenity nodded.
Jim walked away as if nothing was wrong..
