Sonny was drawn in by the little animals. It had nothing to do with Zachary’s charms.
“Doggie… Doggie…”
Pointing at the dog, Sonny kept repeating the word “doggie”. While undoing her apron, Serenity asked, “Whose pets are these?”
Zachary placed the cat carrier on the floor and tied the dog leash to the leg of a shelf before picking Sonny up. He then answered his wife’s question, “I asked a friend to get the dog and cats for me. Do you like them?”
Serenity asked in glee, “Mr. York, are you saying that these pets are for me?”
Zachary acknowledged faintly. “You mentioned that it’s too quiet at home and that you want to keep a few pets. I bought them for you. The cats are ragdolls, but I can’t remember the breed of the dog.”
Serenity exclaimed cheerfully, “It’s fine. I don’t care about the breed. I love them all. They’re so cute and beautiful.”
The dog was not a large breed. She took an instant liking to the dog’s white fur.
“Ragdolls are expensive.”
Serenity went to play with the kittens. She said, “The ragdolls cost a few thousand dollars at the very least, and that’s a friends–and–family rate. The kittens must cost you over ten thousand dollars each.”
“The price doesn’t matter so long as you like them. Let’s be clear. They’re not allowed in my room. You’re responsible for their care if you want to keep them. You’re on poop duty.”
Serenity smiled widely. “Don’t worry. The pets and I won’t step into your territory. I will teach them that your bedroom is off–limits.”
Her delight amused Zachary.
However, Serenity’s words left Zachary dumbfounded.
It was not like he could argue since he forbade her from entering his bedroom in the first place.
Similarly, he was not allowed inside hers.
Once more, Zachary believed the agreement he signed was restricting himself instead.
He would never dream that he would be the first to be tempted to break the contract.
Zachary wondered if he could back out of it.
Where did she hide the agreement? Should he steal and destroy the contract when she was not at home?
It was simply a fleeting thought that Zachary quickly quashed.
The Great Zachary York would never do such a brazen act.
“What an adorable dog.”
Running her fingers down the dog’s fur, Jasmine could not get enough of the dog’s cuteness.
Zachary had a good eye. He picked out the most adorable dog and kittens.
Sonny fought to get down on the ground. He did not want Zachary to hold him as he wanted to play with the doggie.
Serenity pulled out her phone to take pictures of the dog and kittens. However, she did not post it on Facebook right away.
Zachary had always kept an eye on her Facebook posts, but now… he still had not added back her contact and Facebook account.
“Serenity, send me the pictures you took.”
While she basked in joy, Zachary set up a trap for her to jump in.
Serenity blurted, “You deleted my number. Why should I send the photos to you? You’re free to take however many pictures you want.”
Zachary fell silent.
A while later, he drew close to Serenity and quietly tugged on the hem of her blouse.
A suspicious flush crept onto his cheeks when Serenity shifted her eyes toward him. Zachary whispered, “I was wrong, Serenity. Can I have your number again?”
Blinking her eyes, Serenity stared at his reddening face. It was hard enough for a prideful man like him to concede but since he also gave her a dog and two kittens as pets, Serenity generously gave him her number.
“I’ll block your number if you delete my contact again.”
After adding her contact number, Zachary was back to his stoic self. He said in a husky voice, “I won’t make the same mistake twice.”
It appeared the couple had drawn the line at deleting contacts.
They would be cutting contact if he were to delete her number again.
“So, you know you were wrong?”
Pursing his lips, Zachary took a quick look at Jasmine and Sonny. He found the pair occupied with the dog so he leaned into Serenity’s ear and murmured, “I’m sorry. I was wrong about you, but you need to keep a distance from Shawn. He likes you.”
Serenity glanced at her best friend and matched his hushed tone. “I said, I won’t look for another man before we get a divorce.”
Zachary was at a loss for words.
Why was he unhappy again?
“Seren! Seren! I found a job!”
With Liberty’s voice coming through, her round figure soon emerged. She gleefully walked into the shop and yelled, ” Seren! I found a job! I’m starting tomorrow. I’ll be working in finance, a post I’m familiar with.”
“You’re here too, Zachary.”
Seeing that her brother–in–law was around, Liberty smiled at Zachary before picking up her son. Liberty smooched her son’s cheeks a few times until the little man was tickled pink.
“Liberty,” Zachary greeted his sister–in–law.
“Huh? Where did these cats and a dog come from? They’re so cute!”
Liberty noticed the new members in the shop after kissing her son.
“Zachary gave them to me. Liberty, did you find a job?” It had been quite some time since Serenity saw Liberty so elated as she did when she came in.
Liberty first praised the pets Zachary bought before answering her sister, “I got a job. It was unexpected. I didn’t think I’d bump into someone I know. Seren, do you know where I’ll be working?
“It’s Lewis & Co.”
Serenity did not pay much attention to the major corporations in town. She only recognized York Corporation, the most well known company in the city because her best friend would not stop talking about the heir. She became more familiar with the company after she got married to Zachary as the latter worked at York Corporation.
She remembered Stone Group because of Elisa while the names of other major corporations were not something she kept track of.
