Chapter 1177
The whole of Wiltspoon knew Zachary was crazy for his wife.
It would be the death of Zachary if anything were to happen to Serenity.
“Do you think Mrs. Newman is in on it?” Serenity’s first thought was Mrs. Newman.
After a brief silence, Zachary said, “I can’t tell for sure, but I told Josh to keep an eye on Mr. Newman and his wife after your argument with Ms. Carrie. There’s no unusual activity on their end.
“Seren, we can only know through an investigation if the mastermind is after you or me.”
Zachary put Sonny next to him and pulled Serenity into his arms. Locking Serenity in his embrace, he vowed solemnly, “Don’t be scared. I’m here for you. I won’t let anyone harm you.”
Lifting her chin, Serenity looked into his eyes with worry. “If they’re out to get you… You must be careful, Zachary.”
“Unfortunately, I hold a status that tends to attract danger. I’m used to it. Don’t worry. I’ll be
fine.”
The York family sheltered their descendants from the outside world until they were ready to enter the business world. The world had no idea what their names were.
The purpose of doing so was to protect the York boys against malice.
The York boys took up the art of self–defense since they were young to train their bodies and defend themselves.
Although they would not be caught dead without their bodyguards, there was still that 1% chance they might find themselves alone and needing to fend for themselves.
Serenity rested her head against his chest. “I hope it’s only an accident and nothing more to it.”
If it was simply an accident, they could call themselves unlucky to be eyed by kidnappers.
Should there be a mastermind involved, incidents would only keep coming.
“It was quite a commotion today. Even if it was a scheme, the mastermind wouldn’t try anything so soon.”
Sonny, who was left alone and ignored by his aunt and uncle, nudged Serenity away from Zachary. As Serenity straightened her back and watched in confusion, the boy climbed onto Zachary’s lap and sat down. novelbin
Leaning back, Sonny rested against Zachary’s chest.
He looked rather relaxed.
–
Serenity was speechless.
Her nephew was fighting her over her man!
“Sonny.”
Relaxing his facial muscles, Zachary lowered his head and kissed Sonny on the cheek. He tenderly asked Sonny, “Do you want to learn to fight, Sonny?”
“What do you mean, Uncle Zack?”
“Have you seen your aunt fight off the bad guys? Don’t you think your aunt is awesome? She learned to fight those bad guys.”
Sonny had never seen Serenity exchanging blows with anybody, but he did see Serenity give the stranger who tried to hold him a kick. At the time, Sonny thought his aunt was the coolest person ever.
He bobbed his head. “I want to be a fighter like Aunt Ser, Uncle Zack. I want to learn to fight.”
Zachary said affectionately, “How about I hire a teacher to teach you to fight? But it’s not going to be easy. You can’t cry when it gets too hard.”
“He can take lessons from schools.”
Serenity added, “There are gyms everywhere.”
Sonny earnestly uttered, “I won’t cry, Uncle Zack. I want to be as good as Aunt Ser.”
Zachary smiled. “Okay. I’ll find you a teacher for one–on–one sessions. The lessons won’t come in the way of your school in September.”
He then told Serenity, “The gyms work well to the extent of a good workout. It will take a long time before he gets to your level. You have the skills to take down thugs, but you have nothing on the real professionals.
“The boys in my family got lessons from experts. Sonny would benefit more from one–on- one sessions than a gym setting. It will be hard though. I don’t know if Sonny can stand the hardship.”
