Serenity said, “My sister said she’s not coming over for lunch because her office is quite far from here. It’s troublesome to go back and forth since she doesn’t have a long lunch break. They have an office cafeteria, so she’ll be eating there.”
Zachary hummed.
“When Liberty comes back from work in the evening, you should ask her if she can adapt to the company and if anyone bullies her. I’m quite close with Mr. Lewis, so if someone bullies her, I will ask Mr. Lewis to back her up.”
Serenity turned her head to look at him again. “No wonder my sister loves you so much. She always tells me to treat you well.”
Zachary blushed slightly.
He had always been on his best behavior in front of his sister –in–law.
Due to time constraints, Serenity prepared a simple lunch.
Fortunately, Zachary ate with relish and did not dislike it at all.
Serenity thought that apart from not eating bacon, green onions, garlic, and coriander, he was actually quite easy to please.
After the meal, Zachary did not leave immediately.
Serenity washed the dishes and came out of the kitchen. Seeing that Zachary was still there, she took out her phone and checked the time. She walked over to him and asked, ” Mr. York, don’t you have to go to work in the afternoon? It’s past one o’clock. I remember you used to hurry back to the office at about one o’clock.”
Serenity noticed that Jasmine and Sonny were missing, so she shot another question, “Where are Sonny and Jasmine?”
“Ms. Sox said she was going to the supermarket to buy something, and Sonny followed her.” Zachary felt that Jasmine went out deliberately to give the couple some privacy.
It seemed that Jasmine truly had no intention of matchmaking Shawn and Serenity.
Zachary’s opinion of Jasmine improved greatly.
“Oh.”
Serenity walked back to the cashier and sat down.
“Serenity.”
Zachary was in a dilemma. When Serenity looked at him, his words were stuck in his throat again, and he could not say anything
Before Zachary could say the next sentence, Serenity asked with concern, “Mr. York, have you encountered any difficulties? I can tell that you’re very troubled. You can share them with me and I’ll see if I can be of any help.”
Zachary was speechless.
He did not have any trouble.
No, he was actually in trouble.
He bought a bunch of flowers for his wife, but he did not know how to give them to her. “Is it a financial issue?”
Serenity definitely could not help Zachary with his work problems. Furthermore, he would not look so troubled in front of her because of his work.
“How much do you need?”
“I’m not short of money.”
“Then tell me what is it? What’s wrong? You don’t go to work when it’s time to leave, and you don’t speak your mind. Why can’t you just tell me straight? I told you that I’m stupid and can’t read your mind.”
Zachary was silent again.
When he thought about the agreement, he could not bring himself to say anything. He felt that giving flowers to Serenity was a slap in the face.
Serenity was anxious because of his stoic expression.
“Mr. York, you don’t have to tell me anything if you don’t want to. I just feel anxious looking at your troubled face.” Zachary still did not speak. Nana was eloquent and talkative, but her grandson was a man of few words.
Serenity suddenly understood why Nana was trying to matchmake her with Zachary.
Nana must have been worried that Zachary would stay single for life.
Zachary looked at Serenity silently for a moment and was still keeping mum. He then turned around and left.
Serenity opened her mouth and wanted to stop him, but she gave up. Since he did not want to say anything, it was useless even if she pried his mouth open.
“His silence is so annoying. Why can’t he just say it frankly?”
Serenity criticized Zachary’s reticence.
Humans were curious beings, and Zachary piqued Serenity’s curiosity by being so hesitant to speak. She always wondered what he was trying to say.
Within two minutes, the quiet man came in with a bouquet of roses.
Serenity looked at him, dumbfounded.
She could not believe that Zachary was holding a bunch of flowers.
Serenity rubbed her eyes and looked at him again to confirm that the man was indeed Mr. York.
‘Is he going to give me the flowers?’
For some reason, Serenity’s heart raced, and every nerve in her body suddenly tightened. Hell, she was so nervous! Zachary did not hand the bouquet to Serenity. Instead, he
placed it on the cashier. The man of few words said, “I passed by the florist and saw the flowers were blooming beautifully, so I just bought a bouquet for you. It doesn’t mean anything.”
After he finished his sentence, he turned around before she could react. He strode away and left.
He did those in one smooth motion.
It was as if he was afraid that Serenity would pick up the bouquet and slap his face if he paused for a few more seconds.
“Mr. York!”
Serenity came back to her senses. Without another thought, she rushed out of the store and called out to him.
However, Zachary got into the car and drove away quickly as if he was being chased by a ghost. In the blink of an eye, his car was out of sight.
Serenity was speechless.
After a long while, she sighed. “He’s so fast! This is so unexpected.”
Serenity thought about how funny that was and could not help but smile brightly and laugh loudly.
Zachary was hilarious sometimes.
When she had her fill of laughter, she returned to the store and sat down in front of the cash register. She looked at the bouquet of roses for a moment and picked it up. “I don’t have any vases in the store.”
She walked around the store and put the bouquet back on the table.
“Serenity!”
Shawn suddenly called out to her.
Shawn swiftly walked in. He was dressed in a black suit. He looked handsome and courteous like a successful businessman.
However, Serenity still thought the best looking person in a suit was her husband. Perhaps it was Zachary’s temperament that gave people the impression that he was a successful person. His maturity and calmness was not something Shawn could match.
Shawn was still too young.
“Isn’t it working hours now? Why are you here?” Serenity asked instinctively.
“I just sent a document to my dad at the hotel and passed by here, so I came in to have a look. Is Jas here?”
Shawn did not dare to say that he missed Serenity. That was the real reason he stopped by.
