Grandma May later told Serenity that Zachary would bring her back for a visit one day.
However, Zachary had never mentioned taking her back to his hometown.
Serenity thought about the agreement and stopped asking about her husband‘s birthplace. She felt that if they could not grow old together, knowing where her husband‘s hometown was would not matter.
However, it was undeniable that everyone in Zachary‘s family was extremely well–educated. Zachary‘s brothers and cousins were tremendously well–mannered and showed her due respect.
“Your parents are very open–minded.” Zachary smiled. “The elders in my family are all very open minded.”
Serenity agreed. After a while, the stain on Zachary‘s face was washed off.
“Don‘t paint your face like this again. Luckily, we went to a hotel. If we were out shopping, children would think that they saw a ghost, and you would‘ve scared them to death.”
Zachary was speechless. “You didn‘t rest well last night. Do you still have to go to work? Can you ask for a day off? Why don‘t you take the day off to make up for your sleep?”
Serenity thought she could take a nap at the store later.
“I have a meeting in the morning, so I can‘t take the day off.”
Serenity looked at him for a long time and said apologetically,” I‘m sorry you couldn‘t rest well.”
“Then how will you make it up to me?”
Serenity looked at the time and said, “You still have an hour before you need to go to work, so you should take a nap first while I cook up your compensation.”
What she meant was she would make him breakfast.
Zachary smiled and did not stop her.
When she turned to leave, he reminded her. “You should go back to your room and take a shower first. You slept so soundly last night that you wouldn‘t wake up no matter how I tried to call out to you or push you. I had to carry you upstairs.” Serenity‘s face inexplicably turned red.
She fled right after she hummed a response.
Zachary stood there and watched her slip away. After some thought, he murmured, “Did she just blush? She ran away so fast!”
He did not do anything and only told her that he carried her upstairs last night. Was that enough for her to blush?
Zachary could not understand why she was shy because she did not even blush when he kissed her. A woman‘s heart was truly unfathomable.
Serenity returned to her room and closed the door behind her. She leaned against it and touched her burning face.
She had no clue why she blushed.
Maybe she saw something when she accompanied Liberty to catch Hank and Jessica in the act last night.
After standing there for a while, Serenity hurriedly went into the shower because she had to make breakfast for Zachary later.
Before that, Serenity suddenly thought of Mrs. Lane and called her. After Mrs. Lane answered the phone, Serenity said, “Mrs. Lane, you can take Sonny to my store later, so you don’t have to rush back.”
“Okay.”
“How’s my sister?”
“She’s acting like she’s okay and says she’s going to work after breakfast. I’m making a cup of coffee for her to boost her energy because she didn’t sleep well last night.”
Serenity felt sorry for her sister, but she also knew that it was not appropriate for Liberty to take the day off. After all, Liberty had only just started work a few days ago.
“Ask
my sister to be careful when she rides her bike to work.”
“I will.”
Serenity hung up the phone before heading for her shower.
When she was done, she habitually walked to the dresser and sat down, wanting to brush her hair.
Something was missing from the dresser.
Where was the golden hairpin she drew?
That was the sample she sketched because she wanted to make some hair accessories to sell online.
It took her two nights to draw it.
Serenity combed her hair while looking for her drawing.
She searched for a while but could not find it.
“How can it disappear? I put it on the dresser, and no one has been in my room…”
Serenity recalled what Zachary said about how soundly she slept last night for him to carry her upstairs.
Zachary was in her room.
However, it was a drawing of a golden hairpin. Why would a big man like Zachary take her golden hairpin? Moreover, it was only a drawing, not even the real thing. He had no reason to take her drawing.
Mrs. Lane had been following Serenity to the store since she started work. Even if Mrs. Lane came back before Serenity last night, Mrs. Lane probably would not have thrown away her drawing as scrap paper, right?
Serenity thought about it for a while and did not call to ask Mrs. Lane about it. It was just a drawing, so there was no need to question Mrs. Lane on her second day of work. That would easily cause a misunderstanding with Mrs. Lane.
Worst comes to worst, Serenity could spend two more nights redrawing it.
With that thought, Serenity went to make breakfast.
Zachary did not sleep last night and still had to go to work as usual later, so Serenity made at cup of coffee for him.
When the couple had breakfast together, Serenity asked, “Mr. York, did you see the drawing on my dresser when you carried ine back to my room last night?”
Zachary looked up at her and did not answer right away. He was waiting for her to continue. “I think my handicrafts are a bit monotonous, so I thought of adding some new designs to my online store vintage hair accessories. But I rarely do these, so I drew a sample to start off. That drawing is a sample of a golden hairpin.”
Zachary thought, ‘I see…‘
He replied honestly, “I saw that drawing. You drew it excellently, and it looked like a photo.”
“Where is that drawing? I just found out that it’s missing.”
“I flushed it down the toilet.”
“What?!”
Serenity was stunned. “How could you…”
“When I took you back to your room last night, you suddenly sat up and threw up on my hand as soon as I put you down. So, I grabbed a piece of paper and wiped my hands with it, only to find out later that it was a drawing. But since it was already soiled, I flushed it into the toilet along with other tissues.”
Serenity was speechless and thought, ‘Did I throw up last night?‘
Serenity had no recollection of it at all.
She only drank two bottles of beer. Although she fell asleep afterward, she was not considered drunk. How could she vomit if she was not drunk?
Did she vomit because she ate too much last night?
