He carried Serenity back to her room, placed her on the bed, and covered her with the quilt before calli

“You don‘t have to call anymore.”
“I don‘t? I was thinking about whether to spam you.”
Zachary‘s lips twitched.
“Have you eaten? Do you want to eat together?”
“No. Why aren‘t you asking Ms. Sox instead?”
“Wouldn‘t it be humiliating if she rejected me? We exchanged numbers after we met, but she didn‘t tak
e the initiative to contact me. I don‘t know what she thinks of me.”
Zachary paused before saying, “I can understand now why my nana feels disappointed in me.”
Josh was stumped, but he managed to ask, “So… Should I ask her out for a meal now?”
“It‘s up to you. Anyway, you have to be thick–skinned when chasing your wife.”
“Looks like you‘re pretty thick–skinned now.”
Zachary touched his face. “I haven‘t measured, so I don‘t know how thick it is.”
Tosh burst into laughter. “Serenity is definitely the woman I admire most in the world. There’s no one
like her!”
“Get lost!”
Zachary snapped at him and hung up the phone.

asleep in the car and was carried back by Zachary.
Where was he?

“You‘re awake?”
He walked over and asked in a warm voice. His eyes when he looked at her seemed to be able

How could she have thought that his eyes were sharp and cold in the past?
“What time is it now?”
“Six in the evening.”
“I slept that long?” She rubbed her stomach. “No wonder I feel hungry.”
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?»
