Chapter 782
Serenity sat up and picked her phone up. “I’ll watch a movie.”
Zachary took her phone away. Then, he went to his study, picked a book at random, and shoved it into her hands.
“Why don’t you read something? It’s easy to fall asleep
this way.”
Holding the book he had shoved at her, Serenity looked at the title of the book and blinked. She was not seeing
things wrongly, was she? This book was…
She flipped it open to the first page.
Zachary placed her phone on the bedside dresser and turned back around to her. He was taken aback when he
glimpsed the contents of the book and instinctively snatched the book away. With slight embarrassment on his
handsome face, he said, ” I-I grabbed the wrong thing. Wait for a second–I’ll grab a magazine for you,” he said as
he left hastily, book in his hands.
Serenity came out of her stupor and laughed, “Zachary, so this is the sort of person
you are.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZachary blushed all the way to the tips of his ears.
That book had been given to him by Josh many years ago. He had never flipped through it but had never thrown it
away either and was left in his study.
Only when he developed feelings for Serenity that he had gone to read it in secret.
Of course, he never dared let Serenity find out.
A few minutes later, he returned to the bedroom, empty–handed.
Serenity deliberately asked, smiling, “Where’s the magazine you said you were going to grab for me?”
Zachary just looked at her with a burning gaze.
Familiar with that predatory gaze of his, Serenity stopped smiling and hurriedly tucked the blanket higher. She rolled
over so her back was facing him and said, “I’m going to sleep. I’m asleep now! Don’t talk to me anymore. If I
respond, I’m sleep talking.”
Zachary was at a loss for words.
He sat down by the bed and sensing Serenity’s nervousness, he hugged her from the back and said softly into her
ear, “Sleep well. I said I wouldn’t touch you anymore
tonight, so I won’t. I’ll let you have a good rest.”
Serenity relaxed with his guarantee. She turned over and faced him. Meeting his still- burning gaze, Serenity could
not resist pinching his face and said, “You’re up to something. If you’re not willing to tell me, I won’t ask. When the
time comes for when you’re ready to tell me about it, I’ll be all ears then.”
“I’m not.”
Zachary vehemently refused to admit it.
“I just want you to sleep earlier and rest well. Tomorrow, we’ll be heading out early. It’s quite some distance away
and you won’t be able to rest once we get there, so I’m worried you’ll get tired.”
Serenity did not believe him, but she did not ask further since he was not willing to
tell her about it.
After talking to him for a while, she soon started to feel sleepy and swiftly left to be in the arms of Morpheus.
Once she had fallen asleep, only then did Zachary gingerly get up and stealthily take
his leave.
Serenity was in slumberland but she slept fitfully. She dreamt that she had a
wedding with Zachary and at the wedding, she wore a white wedding dress while he wore a black suit. She was
charmingly beautiful and he was dashingly domineering. All the guests were saying they made a handsome couple

heaven.
Just as she felt she was the happiest woman in the world, she suddenly saw her newly found cousin, Elisa. Elisa
walked over, only to raise her hand and slap Zachary
across the face.
Everyone was stunned.
Even if it was just a dream, Serenity instinctively stood protectively in front of
Zachary and asked why Elisa just slapped Zachary.
“Seren, this man is a big liar. He’s been lying to you since the beginning. He’s a liar through and through! Don’t
marry him.”
Serenity was dumbfounded.
Zachary was a liar!
“Seren, don’t marry him! Hurry up and leave him and never forgive him! He’s a big fat liar who has never been true
to you! He’s been lying this whole time!”
Elisa yelled furiously at Zachary as she pointed at him in Serenity’s dream.
She told Serenity to leave Zachary and not to marry him nor forgive him because Zachary was a liar to the core.
