Zachary gave her a comb for her to brush her hair and said, “You didn‘t eat at noon, so it‘s only natural you feel hungry.”
She slept soundly, so he did not wake her up for lunch.
“Did my sister call?”
“No, but I called Mrs. Lane. Sonny doesn’t have a fever anymore. He‘s just sleeping.”
Serenity was relieved. His care and attention to Sonny warmed her heart.
She could not help but like him more with each passing day.
Even if her feelings started from gratitude, the affection she felt for him was real.
“Do you want to shower before eating?”
“I’ll shower later. I’m staying at my sister’s place tonight.”
Zachary was silent.
Serenity leaned closer to him. Her eyes twinkled as she teased him, “Why? Can‘t bear for me to leave?”
Zachary said stubbornly, “No!”
“Really?”
“Really!”
Serenity straightened her back and said with a regretful expression, “I was thinking that if you didn‘t want me to leave, I could tell Mrs. Lane to stay at my sister‘s house while I accompany you. Since you don‘t need it, I‘d better go keep my sister company.
“The weather is getting colder. It sure feels like winter is approaching. I always feel uncomfortable sleeping alone during this time.” Serenity sighed.
Zachary was speechless.
‘Is she implying that if I said I didn‘t want her to leave, she would hug the pillow and quilt and hog my bed?
Serenity was still carrying a regretful look. She reached out and patted his face twice, before trailing her finger down to his neck, and finally rubbing his chest. When Zachary‘s eyes deepened and he stared intently at her, she withdrew her wandering hand.
“I‘m hungry. Let‘s eat. I want to see if the dishes my husband cooked for me are any good.”
Serenity was done teasing him and left.
She walked past Zachary.
He turned around at once and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
“Do you think you can leave after teasing me?”
He teased with his husky voice with his hands around her waist like an iron grip. She could not break free from him even though she practiced kickboxing,
“Loosen up,” Serenity said as she could not pry his hands away.
Zachary planted a kiss on her cheek before he loosened his grip. She turned around while in his embrace and looked up. Her pretty face was flushed from the teasing, and her beautiful eyes twinked like stars in the dark night.
In Zachary‘s eyes, she looked incredibly seductive at that moment.
“Serenity.” “I like it when you call me Seren.”
“You often call me Mr. York,” Zachary said that with a bit of grievance.
She did not address him intimately.
“I‘m already calling you Zachary. How about I call you Zacky instead?”
Zachary was silent briefly before saying, “You can just call me Zachary.”
Zacky. Geez, I have goosebumps just hearing that name.‘
“Haha.”
Serenity already knew that he would not let her call him Zacky.
Zachary was a little aggravated. When she got carried away laughing, he sealed her lips with his.
After the kiss, he said in her ear hoarsely, “Stay home tonight.”
“Hm?”
“Didn‘t you say it‘s cold and you‘re uncomfortable when sleeping alone? I‘ll let you use my warmth.”
Zachary‘s handsome face blushed inexplicably when those words left his lips.
Serenity was amazed.
The way he looked when he blushed was just too adorable!
“I haven‘t figured out if what I feel for you is gratitude or affection.”
Zachary glared at her and gritted her teeth. “You‘re really good at raining on other people’s parades!”
“Thanks for the compliment!”
As she said that, Serenity’s stomach was heard growling.
“I‘m hungry, Zachary. Let‘s eat.”
Zachary did not let her go.
“Be good, Zacky. Let‘s go out and eat.”
Zachary raised his chin.
What an arrogant guy.
Helpless, Serenity tiptoed and kissed him on the lips. She then laughed and said, “I surrender. I admit defeat. Zachary York, you‘re the best man in the world.”
“I‘ll only be the best man in your heart.”
He softened and let her go.
After regaining freedom, she immediately took his warm and large hand and pulled him out.
She casually responded, “You‘re already the best man in my heart for now.” No one knew if anyone would beat him in the future.
After flirting with each other before and over dinner, Zachary showered Serenity with meticulous care.
Serenity was a little overwhelmed by it.
At the same time though, she thought, ‘Sure enough, a good husband has to be trained by onesell.
‘I hope the husband that I‘ve trained won’t be snatched away by others.’
The couple went to Liberty‘s house together after dinner.
Sonny had woken up but refused to play by himself. He stuck to his mother like a piece of gum.
Serenity was the only other person he allowed to hold him. He even refused Mrs. Lane to carry him.
“Liberty, are you going to work tomorrow?” Serenity asked while she was hugging her nephew.
Liberty looked at Sonny and deliberated before saying, “Seren, I want to quit and start my own business.”
She was feeling uneasy with the way Sonny was now. However, she had just started her job. It would be easy to lose her job if she took a leave of absence.
After a day of consideration, she decided to take her son with her to start her own business.
“Have you thought about which line of work?”
Liberty said tentatively, “I want to open a breakfast restaurant. What do you think? Apart from working a desk job, the only thing I‘m confident in is my cooking skills, so I want to open a breakfast restaurant. I’ll only be busy in the mornings and can rest in the afternoon to take care of Sonny.”
“Having your business during breakfast hours requires you to get up early. It‘ll be exhausting. Can you manage by yourself?”
Serenity could come over to help at first, but she could not come by every day.
“I‘ll start small and only serve toasts and pancakes. When I earn money, I‘ll get a shop front and hire someone to help.”
Zachary, who had been keeping silent, supported Liberty‘s idea to start a small business. He interjected, “Liberty, do you have your eye on a location yet? Where will your stall be? How much capital do you need?”
“It‘ll be best if I can rent a place in the market, but it‘ll be difficult. Otherwise, I’d like a place
that’s near large company buildings. It’s best if the company does not have a cafeteria, but those locations are already taken up.”
Unless someone relocated.
