Chapter 485
After comforting Serenity, Grandma May yawned gracefully. She put down the TV remote control, got up, and said to the young couple, “I’ll head in to rest up. I’m old and can’t stay up late.”She took a few steps and stopped before turning around to ask Serenity, “Seren, should I bring your pillow out?”Serenity smiled and said, “No need. There are pillows in the guest room for me.”Grandma May glanced at her grandson twice, but did not say anything. She proceeded into Serenity’s room.By the time Serenity went in to take a shower, the old lady was already snoring loudly.Serenity was speechless.Ten minutes later.She came out of the room in her pajamas. Just after closing the door, she saw her man in his robe, leaning against the door of his room with his arms across his chest.“Not sleeping yet? You have to work tomorrow.”Serenity casually said to him, pretending to not remember teasing him earlier. She walked past him toward the guest room.However, when she pushed open t

Serenity climbed into his bed and lay down comfortably, saying, “I’ve only slept in your bed once, but I feel like it’s particularly warm. Maybe it’s my imagination.”She pulled the quilt up to cover herself and smiled. “Good night, Zachary.”Zachary’s dark eyes flashed. He stared at her for a long time before suddenly lifting the quilt off her and was about to pin her down.However, she sat up and removed herself from the bed at once. She put on her slippers and left.“Serenity.”Zachary reached out to pull her back.“I, uh—I need to use the bathroom.”Aunt Flo might have come to ruin the atmosphere.The man did not understand. “There’s a bathroom in my room.”“Your bathroom doesn’t have what I need. I’ll come back to sleep in your bed after I use the bathroom, but—I won’t be able to sleep with you for a while.”Serenity playfully pinched his face. "Put on a little weight."No matter how slow Zachary was, he finally understood and slowly let go of his hand, letting her retu

Audrey took the tissue handed to her by her husband and wiped her tears. She then finally said, “Sonny does look somewhat similar to my sister. His mother, Liberty, would resemble my sister more if she was a little thinner.“When Elisa first met Serenity, she said she had a feeling of wanting to be close to the latter. I had that feeling too when I met Liberty and her son.“I think it’s because of our blood relation.“Darrell, maybe this time, I have really found my sister...”Audrey’s tears slipped down again when she thought about the fact that her sister was long gone.“But she’s no longer here. She died fifteen years ago. It’s no wonder I couldn’t find her despite searching for so long. How could I find her when she’s no longer in this world?”Darrell comforted her. “It’s just a feeling. Sometimes, fate acts in mysterious ways. Don’t cry yet and wait for the DNA test.”If his sister-in-law whom he had never met was dead, Darrell would feel shaken too.When he first met his

“I have no appetite.”“You haven’t eaten or drank anything all day. Do you know how worried I am about you? Your children are worried too. Even Anthony came back after hearing that you were feeling down.”They had three children. Their eldest was mature and steady, their second-born was never at home, and their youngest was the apple of their eye, who used to hover around Zachary all day in the past and only revert to her normal self a few days ago.“Think of it as me going on a diet.”Audrey then lay down on the bed. “I’m going to sleep.”Darrell was helpless when it came to Audrey.She did not want to eat, and he could not coax her into it.Her temper had always been very stubborn, and their daughter took after her.She loved Zachary for many years and refused to give up no matter how many people persuaded her to. She only turned around after hitting a dead end.The night passed without a word.The next day, it was drizzling again, turning the already cool morning into a ch

Zachary took the breakfast that Jim packed and placed them on the dining table. He had second thoughts and entered the kitchen again.He was brewing hot cocoa for Serenity.“I thought you made the breakfast yourself, but it turned out to be takeouts.”A teasing voice came through and Zachary did not even need to look back to know that it was his nana, neither did he say anything.“What are you making? It smells sweet and chocolatey.”Grandma May walked into the kitchen, uncovered the saucepan, and took a look.“I thought there was some progress.”The old woman muttered and glanced at her grandson in disdain before turning to leave.Zachary’s handsome face tensed. He could not help but defend himself, “I tried very hard.”There was originally a chance last night, but God played a trick on him.“The heart. You have to go after the heart first. Didn’t you see that all of Serenity’s ten fingers are still empty?”Zachary was speechless.He tried very hard to go after her heart.

The eldest son of the York family had never suffered from such a painful pinch in his life.It hurt!“Is Nana up?” Serenity asked as she turned over to get out of bed.She wanted to slip back into her room before Grandma May woke up.“She’s up.”“So early?”Serenity, who was ready to run, stopped in her tracks. “Nana will see me if I go out like this.”“We’re husband and wife.”Zachary did not like her sneaking around.Serenity grinned. “You’re right, we’re husband and wife. There’s nothing to hide. Nana will only be happy if she sees us like this. She knows that we’ve been sleeping in separate rooms since we got married and has always urged me to do all sorts of things to you.”Zachary looked at her without a word.He was also feeling utterly helpless with his nana.Of course, he was mostly grateful now. If not for her nagging, he would not have married Serenity.“I’m going back to my room to change. What do you want to eat today? I’ll cook for you.”“I went and got take

“I made you hot cocoa. I’ll put it in the insulation cup for you since you don’t have time to enjoy it now. Take it with you to your shop.” Serenity looked at Zachary in surprise. To think Zachary would make her hot cocoa. Zachary cleaned the insulation cup before pouring the hot cocoa into it. He then put the lid on and packed the insulation cup in a bag before handing it to Serenity. “Don’t forget to drink it.” Serenity took the bag and looked deeply into his eyes. She said, “See you.” She then took off. Standing there, Zachary watched her head out the door. Grandma May told him off, “Can’t you walk with her?” “She knows where the exit is.” Grandma May was speechless. She was about to praise his progress when reality gave her another slap in the face. This punk… left her with no words. “Nana, by the way Serenity was looking at me just now, I think she would’ve kissed me if you weren’t around.” She was stumped for words. With Zachary regrettably returning

Shawn uttered in agony. “Seren, I know you’re married, but it’s just a marriage of convenience. You’ll divorce. I like you, Serenity, and I’ve fallen for you a long time ago.“I know you can’t accept me now. I tried to keep my distance from you, but I couldn’t do it. All I can think about is you the first chance I get. Serenity, I want you to know that I love you.” Presenting Serenity with the bouquet once more, he looked her straight in the eye. “Serenity, would you give me a chance to go after you?” Jasmine had a talk with him and warned him against it. However, Shawn could not simply drop his feelings and give up. He really loved Serenity. Shawn regretted not confessing his feelings to Serenity the moment he fell in love with her. Serenity might wait until he was older rather than marry a stranger if he had come clean about his feelings. Serenity reached out and snatched the flowers before walking past Shawn to throw the bouquet into the bin at the door. Turning her
