The people who Serenity cared about the most were her sister and nephew.Pleasing Sonny would earn Zachary some brownie points.Zachary bought the bag of snacks because Serenity was a foodie.Serenity might not be so happy if Zachary gave her a bunch of flowers, but she would definitely smile when she saw this big bag of snacks.Zachary walked into the bookstore with a bag of snacks in his left hand and an airplane model in his right. At that time, Serenity had just finished feeding her nephew a bowl of porridge.“Uncle Zak!”The little guy was overjoyed to see Zachary.Serenity saw the toys that her husband bought and said, “Mr. York, why did you buy toys for Sonny again? Jasmine already bought him new ones.”Zachary handed the bag of snacks to Serenity and gave the airplane toy to Sonny, then he carried the little guy.“Sonny’s our only nephew. Who else can I spoil if not him? What Ms. Sox bought for Sonny is her business. It doesn’t clash with me.”Serenity put the empty b
Serenity said, “Oh, right!”She suddenly thought of her pets and asked Zachary, “What about Snowball and the rest? Should we bring them along?”“Snowball?”Zachary’s eyes turned dark as he thought, ‘Who is Snowball?’“It’s the puppy you gave me. I named it Snowball.”Zachary’s eyes turned gentle instantly.It turned out to be the puppy.He thought he had another love rival he was not aware of.“Seren, if it’s inconvenient, Snowball and the kittens can stay in the store. I’ll bring them back to my house after work and bring them back here tomorrow. I have pets at home too, so I promise I can take good care of them.”Serenity smiled and said, “Great! I’ll leave Snowball and the kittens to you then.”She hugged Jasmine and cooed, “Jas, you’re the best girlfriend in the world!”Jasmine gently pushed her away and said with a smile, “Don’t sweat the small stuff with me. We grew up together. Hurry up, don’t make Mr. York wait for too long.”Only then did Serenity go with Zachary w
Serenity asked, “Liberty, is everything going well?”The Hunt sisters walked toward Zachary’s car while they talked.Liberty smiled. “Did you forget what I used to do back then? Work is pretty easy. I was a little rusty at first, but I got my groove back pretty quickly.”However, Liberty still did not get along with her colleagues.It might be because of the commotion Liberty caused on the day of the interview. Everyone knew that Liberty was acquainted with Mr. Lewis, so they were being nice to her superficially while behind her back, they gossiped she had a relationship with the CEO. The looks that Liberty got from the female staff were indescribable.Liberty accidentally overheard her colleagues talking about her when she was in the bathroom.However, this was only her first day of work. It would eventually get better.“Zachary.”Liberty greeted her brother-in-law as she got in the car.Zachary nodded. His eyes then fell on Serenity. Liberty had been there and done that, so
Liberty winked at her sister, and Serenity understood the underlying meaning.She just wanted to say that Zachary was a good man, and that Serenity should treat him well.Serenity had to admit that although Zachary was sometimes domineering and petty, he was a righteous man when it came to facing difficulties. He was better than a lot of men out there.More importantly, even though their relationship was not based on love, Zachary had been great to Serenity and was doing his best.In order to prove to Liberty that she was treating Zachary well, Serenity kept serving Zachary food by putting them on his plate during the dinner.Zachary relished the food and felt loved.It turned out that the food Serenity put on his plate was extra delicious.Zachary suddenly recalled the time he saw Serenity putting food on Shawn’s plate at Grace’s Diner. Zachary thought, ‘Shawn must’ve been ecstatic at that time, right?‘Hmph, so what? Serenity serving him once doesn’t mean anything!‘Serenity
It was most likely because of Zachary’s guilty conscience and the signed agreement.Zachary decided to find a way to steal the copy of the agreement that Serenity was keeping. Oh, not steal, but just take it back. Stealing sounded horrible. How could the heir to York Corporation steal something? After taking back the agreement, he would destroy it.Zachary, who had no guts to hold his wife’s hand, accompanied his wife as they strolled along the streets all night. By the end of it, Zachary acted as a free porter and got into the car with various shopping bags.At first, Serenity mentioned there was nothing she fancied buying. However, after walking for a bit, she found a galore of things to buy and spent her own money.Zachary wanted to pay for her, but she firmly refused, which frustrated Zachary.At ten o’clock at night, the young couple returned to their small apartment.“Fortunately, I don’t like wearing heels. My feet are so sore after walking for so long.”Serenity slumped
A few moments later, Serenity said, “After listening to what you’ve said about your colleague, I think he’s better than all the blind dates Jasmine had gone to. I’ll ask her what she thinks tomorrow.“It’s late now, Mr. York. I’m going back to my room to wash up and sleep.”Serenity was exhausted from shopping.Zachary got up as well and said faintly, “Oh, good night.”Serenity replied with a good night and went into her room. She could not be bothered to even put away the things she bought from shopping and planned to leave them for tomorrow morning.Seeing how she went straight into the room without any intention to stay, Zachary stood where he was and remained silent for a long time.After a while, he walked out to the balcony, sat down on the swing, quietly looking at the night sky and wondering how both of them would go on in the future.Zachary was used to sleeping late, so he sat at the balcony until past eleven o’clock before returning to his territory.The husband and
Mrs. Lane greeted Zachary with a smile.Zachary instructed her to call him Mr. York in front of Serenity.“Mrs. Lane, you’re here. Serenity, this is Mrs. Lane, the one I told you about.”Zachary quickly made the introductions.Serenity smiled. “I saw her as I was coming back. Mrs. Lane already introduced herself. Have a seat, Mrs. Lane. I’ll bring the groceries inside.”“Let me do it, Mrs. York.”“Mrs. Lane.”The woman smiled apologetically. After stealing a glance at Zachary, she stopped calling Serenity “Mrs. York” and changed her form of address to Ms. Hunt instead.“Mr. York and Ms. Hunt, I reckon you haven’t had breakfast? I’ll cook for you.”Serenity wanted to stop her, but she said with a smile, “Ms. Hunt, I’m here as a nanny. Mr. York already briefed me on my job description. From today onward, I have to earn my pay. You can’t let me receive a salary without doing anything and leaving everything to you, right, Ms. Hunt?”Serenity had no choice but to let Mrs. Lane tak
Zachary stayed in his room for a while until Serenity came knocking on his door.“Mr. York, Mrs. Lane says that breakfast is ready.”Serenity stood in front of his room door, knocking on the door while shouting for him.However, she silently thought, ‘He’s been in there for a while. Is he not done changing?‘He’s usually swift and decisive, rarely dilly-dallying.‘Oh, except when he wants to send flowers. He’s not swift and decisive when it comes to that.’Zachary opened the door.His shirt was on, but it was still unbuttoned.As soon as he opened the door, Serenity saw his slightly exposed pecs.She was stunned, then said, “It’s time for breakfast, Mr. York.”Zachary paid attention to Serenity’s expression. When he saw that she only froze slightly, he walked away after she finished speaking.He closed the room door again and looked down at his unbuttoned shirt. Did he not expose enough?His wife was not drooling yet.Wait.He seemed to be playing tricks and seducing his
