With a phone in hand, Serenity scrolled for videos in bed until she gave in to the sandman’s dust. She dozed off without knowing her phone had fallen onto the bed. Zachary returned home with glee. Serenity promised him that she would be waiting for him in his room. Zachary deliberately left his bedroom door unlocked before he went out this morning to give Serenity access. He eagerly pushed his bedroom door open the moment he got back The room was brightly lit. Lo and behold, his wife was lying in bed, but she was asleep.
Serenity’s phone fell on the bed. Sure, Serenity had waited for Zachary, but sleepiness got the best of her. It was a blow to Zachary’s exhilaration.
He brought along two Eternal diamond rings that he bought from Nana with the intention to put one on Serenity’s finger. Yet, she was far off in dreamland.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Zachary reached out to pinch Serenity in the face. “You could sleep through an earthquake, little piggy.” After pinching her cheeks, he leaned down to kiss her face and hovered against her lips for a prod. He then grabbed her phone and put it on the bedside table.
Although his wife fell asleep waiting for him, at least she was in his bedroom.
That was what a certain Mr. York comforted himself with. The next day, Serenity woke up only to be blown away by a huge bouquet of flowers. Behind the flowers was Zachary’s handsome face.
She blinked.
Serenity sat up the moment she was certain she was awake, and it was Zachary before her eyes. She uttered with a smile, “You’re back.” “Good morning, darling.” Good morning? “Is it morning now? Did you work until morning?” “No. I came home last night. Somebody promised to wait for my return, but she dozed off on her own.” Serenity smiled embarrassedly as she reached out to accept the bouquet of beautiful flowers. “ Is there a florist that opens this early in the morning?”
“I can get flowers at any time.”
After Serenity took the bouquet, Zachary bent over and locked his dark eyes on her gorgeous face. He asked with a raspy voice, “shouldn’t you give me a morning kiss?” Zachary called the butler of the Yorks’ residence to cut the most beautiful blossoms in the garden, wrap them up, and deliver the flowers by car so he could give her the bouquet. Romanced by Zachary’s thoughtfulness and gift early in the morning, Serenity generously gave him a morning kiss.
“Seren.”
“Whatever it is, you can tell me.”
Serenity admired the bouquet. “Where did you get the flowers from? They bloom well and better than the ones on our balcony.”
“I made a phone call to order directly from a flower field and got it specially delivered. No florist is open at this hour.”
Zachary’s dark eyes were fixated on Serenity as he waited for her to feel moved and reward him with another kiss. “Is today a special day? You even got the bouquet specially delivered.” Sure, Serenity was moved, but it was not the kind of moving emotions that Zachary imagined it to be. “Why must it be a special day to give you flowers?” Zachary pulled out two jewelry boxes and opened them in front of Serenity. Taking the ring for Serenity, Zachary held Serenity’s left hand up and slipped the ring onto her ring finger. While doing so, he said, “We’ve been married for a while now, but you‘ve been missing a ring. It’s time I make it up to you. “Wear it at all times, especially in front of Shawn. Show off your hand so he can see the wedding ring on your finger.” Although surprised, Serenity did not refuse as Zachary put the wedding ring on her finger. She was amused by his statement though. “Uff, someone’s jealous early in the morning. I can feel it a mile away.” “Anyway, just put it on at all times. Zachary urged before extending his hand. “Seren, put the wedding ring on me too.” Putting down the bouquet, Serenity compliantly took the other ring and slipped it onto the ring finger of his left hand..
Serenity was putting the ring on Zachary’s finger when the latter tenderly uttered, “No matter what happens, we won’t talk about splitting up or a divorce, alright?”
Thinking the wedding bands were perfect for them, Serenity was in awe of Zachary’s good taste. Zachary was able to pick out a sụitable ring for her in her absence.
Serenity heard what he had to say and picked her head up to look at him. “I can’t promise you this. What if you turn out to be like Hank? Am I not supposed to bring up divorce? Cheating men should be dumped as soon as possible. Why should women keep these disgusting men around?”
Zachary wanted to bait a promise out of her in hopes she would not leave him when he came clean about his identity. To his surprise, she did not fall for it. Despite being caught in a tender moment, her head remained clear. She was deservingly the woman he fell in love with. “Um… In the context that I don‘t have an affair, you can’t ask me for a divorce no matter what happens. Our marriage is forever.”
Zachary would never cheat.
He was the type of guy who would stay faithful forever once he had fallen for the person. Hence why he was afraid. Zachary was afraid that Serenity would dump him the moment she found out he was the great Mr. York
“Did you do me wrong or something?” Serenity added, “You’re acting strange today. You had flowers specially delivered to me first thing in the morning, and now you even gave me a wedding ring. Although I can’t appraise jewelry, I can tell that the ring is expensive.
“It’s no coincidence. You must have done something to wrong me, so you’re trying to sweet talk me into falling into your trap. You’re trying to put me in a situation where I can’t get even with you on the matter.”
Zachary quietly stared at her. A while later, he extended his hand out to shuffle Serenity’s hair and said nonchalantly, “You sure have a wild imagination. “I put some effort into romancing you, yet you came up with conspiracy theories.” “Did I guess wrongly?”
The unchanged expression and confidence on his face made Serenity uncertain.
“So you didn‘t do me wrong?”
Zachary replied to her with a question, “What could I do wrong? Cheat on you? Impossible.
I’m not good with the ladies. In fact, I had been single until my nana had to arrange my marriage. Otherwise, I could be single for life. “There’s no way in hell I would have an affair.”
He did not carry much desire toward women. As a matter of fact, Zachary was amazed that his feelings for Serenity would develop so soon. Perhaps they were destined for each other. “No man would say they would have an affair early in the marriage. Everybody gets married, thinking it will be their forever.” Zachary choked. “Forget it. It‘s too soon to talk about this. We’ll revisit this when you’ve done something. I‘m getting up.”
