Zachary kept silent and simply looked at her.
Serenity turned around and walked back toward him. She paused in front of him and then walked into his room.
While entering, she said, “I remember a certain someone mentioned that he’d keep the door
of the room open for me to search for the agreement.”
Zachary waited for her to enter the room before following her. He closed the door behind him and said calmly, “Be my guest. If you can‘t find it, then don‘t bring up the agreement again in the future, because it doesn‘t exist.”
Apart from the safe that had not been open yet, she had already scoured every inch of the room
Serenity pretended to casually rummage through the room before heading over to his safe and patted it. “Open it and let me see. You must have hidden it here.”
Zachary walked over and unlocked it.
Serenity looked at him before opening the safe. There was only one thing inside–a small document. It was the marriage license of the two of them.
There was nothing else.
She removed the marriage license before inspecting the safe. There really was nothing left.
“There‘s not even a penny here. What did you buy a safe for?”
Zachary said as a matter of fact, “To keep our marriage license.”
“If you‘d like to put money inside, I‘ll go to the bank tomorrow after work to get some cash and bring it back to place it in the safe. You can use it whenever you want to.”
“There‘s still money in the household expenses card you gave me.”
Serenity flipped over the marriage license to look at their wedding photo, which appeared very unnatural
“Look at your face back then. You‘re like an iceberg. I was worried I‘d freeze and turn into an ice sculpture after taking the wedding photos.”
Zachary sat down beside her and took a look at the photo on the license. “You weren‘t particularly enthusiastic either. The photographer kept telling you to lean closer, but you were frozen stiff. You didn‘t budge an inch.”
Serenity was speechless.
It was the pot calling the kettle black
“Seren, don‘t mention the agreement again. It‘s gone. Even if it wasn’t gone, I would have probably flushed it down the drain already.”
Serenity looked at him and dove into the deep abyss of pondering what he could mean
He was going back on his word, that was what he meant. He took advantage of that night when
She was a little drunk to destroy her copy of the agreement. He was afraid she would wake up and look for it, so he destroyed his own copy as well.
When she remembered to ask him, he shamelessly denied it and said that she had been worrying too much lately and was hallucinating.
He was clearly saving himself from shooting himself in the foot again. Serenity mulled over his words but did not poke at his lies.
Serenity climbed into his bed and lay down comfortably, saying, “I‘ve only slept in your bed once, but I feel like it‘s particularly warm. Maybe it‘s my imagination.”
She pulled the quilt up to cover herself and smiled. “Good night, Zachary.”
Zachary‘s dark eyes flashed. He stared at her for a long time before suddenly lifting the quilt off her and was about to pin her down.
However, she sat up and removed herself from the bed at once. She put on her slippers and left.
“Serenity.”
Zachary reached out to pull her back.
“I, uh–I need to use the bathroom.”
Aunt Flo might have come to ruin the atmosphere.
The man did not understand. “There‘s a bathroom in my room.”
“Your bathroom doesn‘t have what I need. I‘ll come back to sleep in your bed after I use the bathroom, but I won‘t be able to sleep with you for a while.”
Serenity pinched his face regretfully. “Fatten up a little.”
No matter how slow Zachary was, he finally understood and slowly let go of his hand, letting her return to her room.
A while later, Serenity re–entered his room. Zachary had his back to her while hugging a pillow with both arms, seemingly sulking.
Serenity hesitated and thought, ‘Should I sleep in a different room?
Maybe I should. I’ll go back and sleep with Nana for the night.‘
She turned around to leave.
“You‘re not even going to let me hold you?”
Huh?
Serenity stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the man who was sulking
“I‘m afraid you‘ll have a hard time if you hold me.”
“It‘s better than sleeping alone.”
Since he was not afraid of being tormented, she did not hold back
Serenity then cheerfully returned to Zachary‘s side, lifting the quilt while saying, “C‘mon,
don‘t give me that look. You look like a moping kid now.”
“I‘m a man.”
“Fine, a moping man.”
Zachary suddenly reached out and pinned her down. He leaned in and kissed her fiercely before he felt better.
Embracing his wife, he asked in a low and husky voice, “How many days?”
“Seven plus three.”
“That long?”
“I cherish my body. If you don‘t want to wait, we‘ll continue to sleep in separate rooms.”
It was not appropriate to do anything right after Aunt Flo left.
Her body was hers. She would not harm her body for the sake of his pleasure.
Zachary held her tightly. “Don‘t make it sound like I‘m a beast. Go to sleep. You have to work tomorrow.”
He pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead. “Good night.”
“Good night.”
Serenity adjusted her sleeping position and soon fell asleep peacefully.
Meanwhile, in the Stone family‘s villa.
Audrey sat on the bed, holding an old yellow photo she had kept for decades. As she looked at her sister in the photo and thought that the latter might no longer be alive, her eyes started to redden again.
A large hand reached out and took the photo from her hands.
“You‘ve been staring at it all day. You refuse to eat and drink, and not even speak. Are you trying to worry me to death?”
Darrell was feeling distressed as he handed a tissue to his wife. “It‘s yet to be determined, but you‘re already crying. Maybe it‘s not true this time either.”
The DNA test was not carried out yet, so it was still up in the air if Hunt sisters were truly his sister-in-law‘s daughters.
Audrey took the tissue handed to her by her husband and wiped her tears. She then finally said, “Sonny does look somewhat similar to my sister. His mother, Liberty, would resemble my sister more if she was a little thinner.
“When Elisa first met Serenity, she said she had a feeling of wanting to be close to the latter. I had that feeling too when I met Liberty and her son.
“I think it‘s because of our blood relation.
“Darrell, maybe this time, I have really found my sister…”
