Chapter 1720
“Jim, what did you see just now?” Zachary, who was silent, suddenly asked.Jim answered without hesitation, “I saw Ms. Daniels stroke your palm.”With that, he became conscious of what he had just said. He quickly changed his answer. “No, no, boss. I didn’t see anything. Really, I saw nothing.”Considering Zachary’s brilliance, he could easily win young women’s hearts. In order to avoid trouble, he had been bringing along bodyguards whose main job was to stop young women from approaching him. They did not expect this accident to happen tonight.From the way Ms. Daniels looked at Zachary, she had an ulterior purpose.“From now onward, all young women, except my family, must keep a distance of ten feet from me.”Zachary felt the need to behave like he did back then whereby he made all young women, except his family members, stay ten feet away from him.He thought that everyone was aware of his marriage with Serenity, so no one would have an interest in him.He was wrong.Someo

“Sam, I didn’t hear or see anything. I’m going to take a rest now.”Ultimately, Jim dared not tell Sam that a client’s daughter was interested in Zachary and flirted with him. Jim ran like the wind.“B*stard.”After scolding Jim, Sam turned his eyes to the chauffeur.The chauffeur said with a yawn, “Sam, I really didn’t see anything. I didn’t hear what Mr. Zachary said as well. I was focusing on my drive.“Sam, it’s getting late. You should go and rest. Good night.”With that, the chauffeur strode away.Other bodyguards did not have the slightest idea what was going on. Jim was the one who was in the same car as Zachary. If Jim did not reveal it, no one would know.Feeling helpless, Sam went back to the house.Zachary did not stay on the ground floor. He had gone upstairs.Once he arrived at the study, he gently knocked on the door.Perhaps Serenity was so absorbed in her work that she did not notice what was happening outside. She was unaware that Zachary had returned. When

It was not related to work.Again, Serenity asked Zachary with her pretty eyes glowing, “What’s it then? Tell me. We’re a couple. We shouldn’t hide anything from each other. As you said, you’ll never hide anything from me no matter what it is.”“Honey.”Zachary said in a low voice, “Someone flirted with me.”Serenity was speechless.Her eyes widened, and her mouth agape.Did she mishear him?Someone actually dared to flirt with Zachary?When he was outside, he always looked sulky, signaling others not to approach him. There were bodyguards who followed him around to stop strangers from approaching him.How was it possible that someone flirted with him?Unless that was a man.With such a thought, Serenity asked, “Was it a man? Was it a gay who showed interest in you?”She felt that he would only allow people of his gender to approach him, which explained why that person had the opportunity to flirt with him.After being quiet for a moment, he replied in a deep tone, “It was

Toward the end of her sentence, Serenity’s smile faded. She said, “Hank and Jessica’s case is a good example. Of course, Jessica isn’t to blame completely. Much of the blame rests with Hank.”Karma had hit Jessica now.However, it had yet to hit Hank.Zachary showed a pathetic look and said, “Honey, I don’t care. I belong to you. You need to protect me. Don’t allow anyone to take advantage of me.”“Alright, I’ll protect you. I’ll keep you company at any social function you attend. I’ll announce my ownership of you to everyone. Zachary fully belongs to Serenity. If anyone has the audacity to snatch my man, I’ll beat them up.”“Honey, why do you sound as though you’re comforting a child?”“How should I say it then?”Zachary stopped speaking.Serenity kissed him on the cheek. After that, she hugged him with her upper body lying on his chest. With a soft voice, she said, “Babe, don’t be angry. I’ll walk the talk. I’ll keep you company at every social function to prevent others from

At least, this was Serenity’s innermost feeling.It was better than all other poetic phrases that she copied from elsewhere.There was a message at the back of the paper.He turned it over.[I’m jogging outside. Let’s have breakfast together later.]Zachary folded the letter joyfully and put it back into the envelope. After that, he slid open the drawer and placed the love letter inside.He got up and walked toward the window. Once he pulled open the thick and heavy curtains, the sunlight shone in.The morning sun in summer was dazzling. Once the hot summer was over, the cool fall would come, which was also time for Zachary and Serenity’s wedding.Zachary was more eager for the arrival of the baby that belonged to him and Serenity.The psychic told the couple decidedly that their baby would come in the fall. No matter how much the two of them loved each other, the baby would not come until it was fall season.Ben from FC & Co. now had a son and a daughter, which made Zachar

Without much hesitation, Serenity answered, “Okay. Liberty goes to the hospital to look after Mr. Lewis whenever she’s free. Mrs. Lewis was the one who begged her to do so.”Zachary was not surprised. Considering Duncan’s current condition, Mrs. Lewis deeply regretted her actions. She would not even mind kneeling down to beg Liberty as long as Duncan could recover.“Is Duncan willing to meet Liberty?” Zachary asked concernedly.“I didn’t ask Liberty. But she’s insistent on looking after Duncan. She must have a way to get into the ward.”She would sneak in, by hook or by crook. Sure enough, Serenity and Liberty were sisters. Serenity knew her sister very well.Zachary replied, “I hope Duncan doesn’t overthink things and gets well soon.”Comparing Duncan’s previous and current states, Zachary could identify with Duncan. If it were Zachary, he would have difficulty regaining confidence as well.“He’ll recover.”Serenity said to him, “Let’s jog two more rounds. After Sonny wakes

Sonny blinked, but he did not know how to express his discomfort. “He’s usually very loud, but he’s groggy today. He must be unwell. Bring the thermometer over and measure his temperature, Seren.”Serenity had already brought the thermometer without Zachary telling her and took Sonny’s temperature. A few minutes later, Zachary took the thermometer from Sonny’s armpit and handed it to Serenity. She held it up to look at it. She said, “100.9 degrees Fahrenheit. He has a fever. His temperature didn’t feel hot when I touched his forehead, but the number on the thermometer is so high. I’ll head upstairs to change my clothes. Let’s bring him to the hospital now.“I’ll call his instructor to request a leave of absence too.”Serenity took out her phone and called the self-defense instructor from the gym to request a day off on Sonny’s behalf as she spoke. Zachary said, “Don’t panic. Let’s try lowering his temperature first, then call the family doctor to check on him.”“That works

The family doctor said, “Missus, I’ll prescribe some medication for the child just in case. If his temperature can be lowered through physical means, he doesn’t have to take any medicine first. If his temperature can’t go down to normal and the fever persists above 101.3 degrees, feed him some medicine. I’ll come over again tomorrow.”“Don’t we have to give him medicine now?” Serenity asked. Zachary said, “Let’s avoid feeding him medicine if his condition doesn’t require it. Every medicine has some side effects.”If one kept taking medication or getting an IV drip for minor issues, it would be troublesome in the future once there was drug resistance. Serenity knew to avoid taking medicine as much as possible, but she and her sister always panicked and were extremely nervous whenever Sonny was unwell. They desperately wanted the child to get well immediately. Therefore, the first thing they did every time was to bring him to the doctor, put him on an IV drip, and take medicine.
