Zachary looked down at her. “Oh? You‘ve imagined me hugging you?”
Serenity was speechless.
Zachary pursed his lips and smiled.
He hugged her a little tighter. “I was going to bring you to the beach for a nice seafood dinner this weekend, but since Liberty is going to talk to Hank about the divorce, I‘m guessing you won‘t be in the mood for a holiday with me here. I‘ll treat you to a seafood supper later tonight.”
“Now that you‘ve mentioned it, I‘m hungry. Let‘s go eat now.”
Zachary laughed. “Okay. I‘ll stay with you tonight no matter what.”.
Serenity stood up and said with a smile, “Don‘t make empty promises! Will you strip dance if I ask you to?” Zachary was at a loss for words.
Serenity laughed.
She suddenly wanted to see Zachary strip dance.
Zachary stood up and flicked her forehead and she winced from the pain.
“I don‘t even know what‘s in your head. You‘re always so unpredictable.”
Serenity put it out there again, “Nana always tells me to jump you, strip you, and sleep with you so she can have a great granddaughter. I‘m still thinking if I should fulfill Nana‘s wish.”
Zachary flicked her forehead again when he heard this. “Ouch!”
It was painful, so Serenity took revenge by pinching his cheeks. “Serenity.”
Zachary grabbed both of her hands and looked serious. Serenity‘s playfulness vanished abruptly when she met his deep eyes. She said cautiously, “Mr. York, just say what you want to say. Your serious look is scaring me.”
“Listen.”
“Mhmm, I‘m all ears.”
“Whether we sleep together or not, it‘s our privacy, so we should follow our hearts. Don‘t sleep with me just because someone tells you to.”
Zachary did not want their first time to be because of his grandmother‘s interference.
Just like when they got their marriage license, Zachary told his grandmother that how he treated Serenity was his business, and that his grandmother should no longer interfere in their affairs.
“Oh, you‘re worried about this?“.
Serenity felt relieved instantly. She pulled her hand back from his big palm, turned around, and walked back. She said as she walked, “I‘m just kidding. I won‘t do that just because of what Nana said.”
She also felt that romantic relationships should come naturally.
Zachary looked at her back in silence.
He felt like he was right, but at the same time, he was missing something
Zachary missed the chance for her to jump him, strip him naked, and sleep with him.
However… It was still too early for them to sleep together because they were not in love yet.
It was just like how Zachary answered Serenity‘s question earlier in the car when he said, “…because you haven‘t fallen in love with me yet.”
Zachary could finally see their situation clearly. He hurriedly strode forward and matched her pace. He treated his wife to a seafood feast at a beachfront restaurant for supper.
Serenity asked for two bottles of beer. “I like to order two bottles of beer when I have supper with Jasmine. It‘s nice to drink beer and eat at the same time.”
Zachary was deshelling the shrimps for her and replied, “Beer‘s the only thing you can drink with your level of alcohol tolerance.”
Serenity blushed. “I know I have a low alcohol tolerance, but I can take two bottles of beer. I‘ll just sleep soundly at most.
“Would you like a drink?” “If I drink, should we stay here for the night?” Serenity stuck out her tongue playfully and thought, ‘Right, he has to drive tonight, so he can‘t drink.‘
Thus, Zachary peeled the shrimp and debone the fish for Serenity while she ate, drank, and talked about her sister.
Zachary knew that Serenity was still worried about her sister‘s future even if he was spending time with her.
Serenity ate most of the food on the table. As a foodie, she had a big appetite, and Zachary finally witnessed it. Zachary thought, ‘At least she has such a hobby. That way, I can use this to win her over. I don‘t know what to do if she‘s always as invincible as she was when she beat up Noah Hunt and the thugs.‘
It was already dark by the time they were done eating and drinking. The couple headed back home. As soon as they got in the car, Serenity leaned against the passenger seat and said to Zachary,” I‘m going to take a nap. Wake me up when we get home.”
Zachary took off his suit jacket and handed it to Serenity. “Wear it and take a nap.”
Since they were no longer at the beach, Serenity accepted and covered her body with the suit jacket before she took a nap.
Zachary turned off the music in the car to not disturb her.
He drove the car in silence while Serenity took a nap. After a while, they arrived at Brynfield.
The bodyguards were wandering in the lobby because their boss was out of their sight all night. After the bodyguards saw Mrs. Lane came back with the missus‘ pets, they found out that their boss was taking his wife out on a drive. The bodyguards were anxious, but no one dared contact the boss for fear of disturbing the couple‘s privacy. At that moment when the bodyguards saw Zachary‘s car, they quickly dispersed as they were afraid that the missus would see them.
Jim ran the fastest and almost dove right into the bushes.
That was because the missus could recognize him.
Zachary pretended not to notice the bodyguards‘ reaction. Serenity was plain ignorant. Otherwise, she would have discovered that something was wrong since the bodyguards always hung around the lobby every day. Zachary parked the car, unfastened his seat belt, and called out,” Serenity, we‘re home.”
Serenity slept soundly and did not hear him.
It was probably because she had two beers.
Zachary nudged her twice, but Serenity fell to the side and did not show any signs of waking up.
“You fall into such a deep sleep after drinking only two bottles of beer. You‘d better drink less in the future.”
Zachary got out of the car, went to the passenger seat, and opened the car door. He leaned in and unfastened Serenity‘s seat belt before pulling her into his arms to carry her out of the car.
The bodyguards, who dispersed but did not go far, saw this scene and rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
After confirming that what they saw was real, the bodyguards turned around and hurried back to their apartments in the same building to sleep.
It seemed like the boss and his wife were doing great.
Zachary carried Serenity upstairs and rang the doorbell to their
house.
Soon after, Mrs. Lane came and opened the door. “Mr. Z–York, what happened to Ms. Hunt?” .
Mrs. Lane almost called him Mr. Zachary again.
“She had two bottles of beer and fell dead asleep.”
Zachary carried Serenity into the room.
