Zachary hesitated and struggled for ten minutes before he pushed open the door to get out of the car and walked into the florist.“Sir, would you like to buy flowers? Are they for your girlfriend?”After Zachary looked around the shop, he said to the shopkeeper, “It’s for my wife.”The shopkeeper smiled. “Is this for a birthday or wedding anniversary?”“Neither. I just want to give her flowers.”The shopkeeper smiled. “What about a bouquet of roses interspersed with baby’s-breath?”Zachary had never bought flowers for a woman. He thought the shopkeeper’s suggestion was good, so he nodded and said, “Sure, whatever you see fit.”“Please wait for a moment.”The shopkeeper could tell this was the first time this man was buying flowers for his wife.After a while, the shopkeeper handed a bunch of flowers to Zachary. Zachary took the bouquet and paid the bill before turning around and walking out of the florist with the bouquet in hand.Zachary put the bouquet in the passenger seat
Chapter 343
Zachary was exceptionally patient and would do whatever Sonny asked him to do. He would also teach Sonny some new ways to play with the toys.Serenity could not help but think that Zachary would be a responsible father when he has his own children.“What’s the matter?”Jasmine noticed that her friend was staring in a certain direction, so she leaned over and found her friend looking at Mr. York. She suddenly laughed ambiguously and nudged Serenity’s shoulder. “Do you think your husband is particularly handsome?”“There’s no need to think about it. He has always been a handsome guy.”“Hurry up and jump him then. Look how nice and patient he is with Sonny. Although he looks like a block of ice, he’s actually quite soft-hearted. He must like children very much. You should jump him and get down to it, then you can give birth to a baby as good-looking as him. How great is that?”Serenity laughed. “You talk as if I’m just trying to have a baby.”She paused and whispered, “Even if I ju

Serenity said, “My sister said she’s not coming over for lunch because her office is quite far from here. It’s troublesome to go back and forth since she doesn’t have a long lunch break. They have an office cafeteria, so she’ll be eating there.”Zachary hummed.“When Liberty comes back from work in the evening, you should ask her if she can adapt to the company and if anyone bullies her. I’m quite close with Mr. Lewis, so if someone bullies her, I will ask Mr. Lewis to back her up.”Serenity turned her head to look at him again. “No wonder my sister loves you so much. She always tells me to treat you well.”Zachary blushed slightly.He had always been on his best behavior in front of his sister-in-law.Due to time constraints, Serenity prepared a simple lunch.Fortunately, Zachary ate with relish and did not dislike it at all.Serenity thought that apart from not eating bacon, green onions, garlic, and coriander, he was actually quite easy to please.After the meal, Zachary di

Zachary looked at Serenity silently for a moment and was still keeping mum. He then turned around and left.Serenity opened her mouth and wanted to stop him, but she gave up. Since he did not want to say anything, it was useless even if she pried his mouth open.“His silence is so annoying. Why can’t he just say it frankly?”Serenity criticized Zachary’s reticence.Humans were curious beings, and Zachary piqued Serenity’s curiosity by being so hesitant to speak. She always wondered what he was trying to say.Within two minutes, the quiet man came in with a bouquet of roses.Serenity looked at him, dumbfounded.She could not believe that Zachary was holding a bunch of flowers.Serenity rubbed her eyes and looked at him again to confirm that the man was indeed Mr. York.‘Is he going to give me the flowers?’For some reason, Serenity’s heart raced, and every nerve in her body suddenly tightened. Hell, she was so nervous!Zachary did not hand the bouquet to Serenity. Instead, he

Serenity said, “My husband gave it to me. Isn’t it pretty? I think it’s beautiful. I love it!”After taking countless photos of the bouquet, Serenity put down her phone to pick up the bouquet and took a sniff. “It smells so good too!”To Shawn, this scene was an eyesore.“Oh, your husband gave it to you? What’s the occasion today? I haven’t seen him send flowers to you before.” Shawn’s smile was a little stiff. His tone was a little bitter as if he had a bone to pick.Serenity looked up at him and said, “Does it need to be an occasion for my husband to send me flowers? If I want, my husband can send me a bunch of flowers every day. I was just worried that he’d spend too much because a bouquet isn’t cheap. It’s not edible either. I told my husband that it would be better if he saved that money to buy meat instead of flowers. That’s why he never sent me flowers.”Shawn said, “Right…”"Shawn, are you looking for Jas? Why don’t you call her? She should be back soon.”“It’s nothing.

Jasmine said, “Do you believe that it doesn’t mean anything? Seren, if you both have feelings for each other, you two should seize the opportunity. I’m still waiting to attend your real wedding so I can be your bridesmaid!”Jasmine teased her friend.“You’re thinking a little too far ahead.”“I don’t think it’s too far ahead. Haha! Seren, I’m going to grab a cup of coffee with Shawn. What do you want? I’ll get a takeout for you later.”Serenity thought about it for a while and said, “Just get me a cup of milk tea, please.”“Okay,” Jasmine replied immediately. “You watch over the store. I’m going to have coffee.”“Go ahead!”The store was not busy at this time anyway. Serenity would either be napping at the cashier or making her handicrafts.Jasmine left.Shawn was waiting outside.When Jasmine came out, the smile on her face faded.“Let’s go.”She went straight to Shawn’s car.Shawn saw that his cousin’s expression was a little serious and he felt a little guilty for no re

Zachary said he wanted the Hunts to be poorer than beggars.Josh replied with a smile, “There won’t be a good show if you crush them with a single blow.”Zachary was speechless.“You must be patient dealing with these people. Take it slow and let them lose everything they have bit by bit. It’ll be tormenting for them to try their best to fix their situation, yet they can only watch as they lose everything.”Josh admitted he dropped the ball this time because he was in no hurry to crush the Hunts in one blow.“But don’t worry, boss! You’ll definitely be satisfied with the results.“John Hunt was fired by his company. The trending story was very popular back then, so John has a bad reputation in the industry. It’ll be very difficult for him to find a good job.”Zachary’s expression eased after he heard that John had completely lost his job.“You gotta thank Ms. Stone for this. Ms. Stone asked her brother to fire John. I have to say, Ms. Stone is especially nice to your wife.”Za

In a cafe, Jasmine picked a secluded corner and sat down.Shawn sat opposite her.“Shawn, what do you want to drink?”“Whatever. I’ll have whatever you have.”Jasmine said to the waiter, “Two cups of black coffee, please.”“Jas, black coffee is bitter.”Jasmine glanced at him. Shawn then said sheepishly, “Fine…”After the two cups of coffee were served, Jasmine asked bluntly, “Shawn, I have a question for you. Are you in love with Serenity?”Shawn was stunned.He stared blankly at Jasmine.“Jas…”“Tell me the truth!”Jasmine ordered.Shawn’s face slowly flushed red.Did he show it?“Jas, I… I like Serenity.”“When did it start?”Shawn said in a low voice, “I don’t know when it started. It might have been when I first learned about love when I was 14 years old, or maybe 17.”Jasmine said in a gloomy face, “You’ve had a crush on Serenity for so long.”Shawn hid it long enough.Jasmine and Serenity were not even aware of that and had treated Shawn as a younger brother.
