Filed to story: The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel
The sun set over the ocean in the west. The sky quietly darkened as night fell.
Back in Brynfield, Serenity was bustling about the kitchen. The aroma of food wafted out from time to time, attracting Zachary to the kitchen door. He wanted to help, but Serenity said she would do it all by herself since she was treating him to dinner and declined his help. He was watching TV in the hall but felt bored, so he might as well watch his wife cook.
Zachary looked at Serenity ‘s graceful movements with a deep and gentle gaze. Even though he had not noticed these changes in himself, he felt Serenity possessed many strengths.
“Serenity,” Zachary called out suddenly as a thought popped into his head.
Serenity turned her head to look at him while she continued to cook and asked, “Speak your mind, Mr. York.”
“You ‘ve taken good care of those few potted plants on the balcony. Can you spare me one to bring to the office so I can put it on my desk?”
Serenity replied matter—of—factly That pot is rather big. If you put it in the office, best not to put it on the table as ‘II take up too much space. Just pick a spot in the office and place it there.”
“But I want to put it on my desk. I heard from my colleagues that the plant symbolizes fortune, so I thought if I put it on my desk, it could help me attract fortune.”
“Then, you might as well buy a lucky cat and put it on your desk.”
Serenity scooped up the stir—fried vegetables and transferred them onto the plate while saying, if you want to put it on your desk, I can give you a miniature tree handicraft. It ‘s not big, so it won ‘t take up much space. It looks good and has a meaningful symbolism.”
Zachary spoke in such a big roundabout way because he wanted his wife to give him the handicrafts she made. His wife fell into his trap willingly, and he gladly played along “Do you have any in stock? Your handicrafts are intricate. Nana loves them so much that she puts them in the most conspicuous places in the house. Whenever anyone asks, she ‘II just sing praises of you.”
Nana praised Serenity highly, so much so she became Zachary ‘s wife.
“I do have some in stock, but they ‘re all orders for my customers. I won ‘t have to rush in giving it to you since we live together. I ‘II pass you a miniature tree tomorrow. Do you also want a lucky cat?”
Zachary did not mind as long as Serenity was willing to give him her handmade crafts. He would not steal from her customers.
Can you make a lucky cat?”
Zachary smiled. “Then I ‘II be greedy for once and ask for a lucky cat.”
Callum did not have a lucky cat, and now Zachary had one item more than Callum. “If your colleagues like them, please send them the link to my online store to support my business!”
After a moment of silence, Zachary said, “Many of my colleagues already know about your online store because Callum recommended it to them.” Callum stole Zachary ‘s opportunity and took the lead.
Zachary was in dismay. However, on second thought, Callum recommending Serenity‘s handicrafts would only mean more money for Serenity. Since Serenity was his wife, he could still reap some benefits from it. With this in mind, Zachary no longer felt too depressed about it.
When Serenity finished cooking, she brought all of the dishes and placed them on the table.
The couple took their seats and had dinner together.
Zachary was in a good mood and ate with much gusto.
He had to admit that Serenity had great cooking skills and he was blessed to have her.
After the meal, Serenity washed the dishes and picked up the bag of clothes from the couch. She retrieved the clothes from the bag and handed them to Zachary. “Mr. York, try these two sets of clothes and see if they fit?
“You‘ve been of great help to me, so I think treating you to a meal isn‘t enough. That‘s why I bought you two sets of new clothes and ties to match. They‘re all in black, your favorite color.”
Zachary had guessed long ago that these were for him, but he did not show it. He took over the clothes trom Serenity and asked while looking at her, “How do you know what my size is?”
“I asked Nana.”
Zachary left it at that.
“Do you want to try it on?”
“No, they ‘II fit.”
Serenity chose the color he liked. “Just ask me next time if you ‘re unsure what to buy.”
Zachary thought to himself, ‘Don ‘t ask Nana. If she finds out who knows what kind of tricks she ‘II pull behind my back? ‘
“You ‘re busy with work, so I don ‘t want to bother you,” Serenity replied. Zachary was without a word. He was busy and did not like her asking him about menial things.
“Mr. York, it ‘s still early, so let ‘s go for a walk. Speaking of which, I haven ‘t walked around the neighborhood yet after moving here for a while.”
Zachary hesitated before agreeing to her suggestion. He was also not familiar with Brynfield. His housekeeper was the one who helped him buy this unit in the first place. Then, for the first time, the couple went out for a walk together.
Zachary was calm in nature and a man of few words. Moreover, they were not like other couples who married for love. When they went downstairs for a stroll around the neighborhood , neither of them spoke after walking for a while.
After what seemed like a long time, Serenity found a topic to talk about and asked, “Mr. York, how far is your hometown from the city?”
I am so into this book. Love it real good.
