On the other hand, Zachary spoke to Mr. Lewis on behalf of Liberty and probably put in the good word for her too, so Mr. Lewis knocked a few thousand dollars off.

Of course, nine thousand bucks were a great deal of money to Liberty now. It would serve as a painful lesson to keep her eyes peeled on the street and stay away from luxury sedans!

“Is your husband coming back soon?” asked Liberty.

“Yeah. He‘ll be back tomorrow.”

“Great. My husband and I will be there ahead of time. Are you cooking? I‘ll help out.”

Having lived independently with her sister for many years, Liberty had so much on the ball from her career, and social life, to domestic life. Now that she was held down by a child and without an income, her husband pressured her to become a housewife.

The sisters exchanged small talk on the phone before ending the call.

“Mr. York, do you work late every day?”

“Why?”

“It‘s almost the weekend that Nana and your parents will

come over for dinner. We need to spruce up the place. I‘m thinking of looking at furniture in the next few days and getting what we need.”

Zachary went quiet.

His job took up a lot of his time. It was hard to find time in his busy schedule to shop for furniture with her.

Faced with his silence, Serenity showed understanding. “I can get them myself if you don‘t have the time.” Zachary replied, “Alright. You‘re the lady of the house. You can make decisions over household affairs. Just let me in on the bigger things.”

He had no time to spare for every single trivial matter of the house.

“Sure. I‘ll let Jasmine know that I won‘t be coming in for work today. I‘ll get the stuff.”

She needed to sort out their home.

Zachary was without a word.

Turning on his heel, he returned to his bedroom.

It did not take long before he emerged from his room and said, “I‘m going to work.”

“Drive safe,” Serenity casually cried. With the wrapped hash brown and apple juice still in hand, Zachary took off.

Getting behind the wheel of his undercover MPV, Zachary drove out of Brynfield.

Out of the neighborhood, Zachary pulled up at the side of the road where his Rolls Royce and convoy were parked.

“Sir.”

The bodyguards swiftly got down from their cars. Shielding Zachary with their bodies, they approached the Rolls Royce and opened the door for him. A bodyguard respectfully asked, “Should I throw it away for you, Sir?”

He was talking about the breakfast Zachary was holding.

Zachary gave the uneaten hash brown to the bodyguard without a word. The bodyguards were free to do whatever with it.

With the car door shut, the car purred its silent engine and merged into traffic. Serenity spent a day running about before she filled all the missing pieces to complete the home.

The online order of kitchenware was also delivered to the house.

Zachary arrived home late that night, and by then, Serenity was fast asleep. Careful not to wake her, he walked around the house and feasted his eyes on her

interpretation of a home. The woman took time to smell the roses for sure.

Perhaps she was not a scheming witch. The woman might not be looking for anything out of the marriage but a place to call home.

After all, she had been living under her sister and brother in–law‘s roof.

Of course, Zachary needed more than a few days to observe Serenity‘s character. He would not be so quick to slap a label on her. Only time could reveal a person‘s true colors. Her true nature would either shine through or rear its ugly head through the couple‘s day–to–day interaction.

Time passed very quickly at the busiest times. Soon, it was Saturday.

Last night, Serenity stayed up late for Zachary to come home so she could make plans with him to shop for groceries on Saturday morning. Serenity called Nana the night before to get a headcount. As it turned out, Zachary’s brothers and cousins were also coming along. The way Nana saw it. Serenity was part of the York family now that she was married to Zachary. By meeting the family, Nana wanted to bring together everybody to introduce the family tree.

Since there was going to be a lot of food, Serenity would not be able to carry all the groceries on her own. Hence, she requested Zachary to take her to the market by car.

Like the other day, Zachary was startled awake by Serenity’s morning call at six o’clock sharp.

Feeling grumpy from the early rise, Zachary had to bottle up his grievance to stop himself from yelling at Serenity.

“Mr. York.”

Serenity’s clear voice washed away some of the unpleasantness in the morning.

With eyebrows pinched together, Zachary answered gruffly, “Give me ten minutes.”

“Sure. I made some pancakes. Come and have some when

you’re washed up. We can get to the market after breakfast.” Zachary asked, “… What time did you get up?” It was only six in the morning. Yet, Serenity had breakfast ready.

“About five.”

It was time-consuming for one person to prepare a feast. Serenity made an early start to get the ball rolling. Without another word, Zachary terminated the call.

She did not take the family event lightly. Zachary was more than pleased with her attitude toward meeting his family.

Ten minutes later.

Zachary emerged at the dining table , dressed in casual wear.

She was enjoying her breakfast. With a smile , she said, “ Try my pancakes. My sister said I make the best pancakes.”

Zachary took a glance at the breakfast spread. As the pancakes looked sumptuous and appetizing, he finished a whole plate. It was delicious indeed. She was a good cook.

He was lucky in that sense.

Zachary felt more comfortable having her home-cooked

meal than takeouts.

Serenity cleared the table and washed the dishes in the kitchen.

“Mr. York, do you only have dark-colored clothes?”

Zachary’s silence was his admission.

“What’s your size? I’ll add color to your wardrobe when I go shopping next time. You have a stern face, to begin with, so it’s hard to approach you when you wear dark colors too.”

Seeing chills in his eyes, Zachary revealed his feelings through an icy voice, “Stay out of my wardrobe choices!” He loved dark colors, so if she had a problem with that, she could poke her eyes blind for all he cared!

Sensing the indifference and displeasure in his tone, Serenity kept to herself before breaking the silence. “I’m sorry. I went too far. To each their own. I shouldn’t force my habits on you.”

Zachary left the conversation at that.

He took strides to the balcony.

The calming view of the mini garden saw the tension on his face easing up

A few minutes later.

Serenity grabbed her purse and cried, “Let’s go, Mr. York.”

Zachary returned from the balcony without a word and quietly took his keys. The couple left the house together.

They were prudent not to bring up the unhappy episode from just now.

The couple was getting to know each other, still figuring things out together in a shared living space. There were bound to be more unexpected clashes between them later on.

Serenity had an eye for detail and sorted the menu for today. She had even listed the ingredients. It would be a breeze getting the items with a shopping list ready. Zachary thought highly of Serenity’s conduct in life.
