“Yeah.”
Zachary answered in a deep voice.
Serenity drew close, holding a carrier bag in hand.
“I bought cranberries. Do you want same?”
Black in the face, Zachary gave her a dirty look. All she did was eat at the dinner party. Yet, she still
had room for more.
She was such a glutton!
“Cranberries can taste bitter when eaten raw, but there’s a sweet aftertaste that comes through. It was
once the favorite of my most cherished man.”
Taking the seat next to Zachary, Serenity opened the container of cranberries. Zachary discreetly
scooted to the side to pull away from her. He did not want his clothes stained.
“Your most cherished man?”
“The man on the hundred-dollar bill.”
Zachary, “…” Money to him was a series of numbers in his account.
“Do you want to try a bite? It’s tasty. For real. It’s delicious. I can’t get enough of it.”
“No. Knock yourself out. One more thing. Can you take it to the dining hall? I can’t stand to see the
furniture stained.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing that Zachary was a clean freak, Serenity carried her container away while mumbling to herself,”
The high wage earners must be very particular over the finer materials in life.”
Serenity was having a blast snacking in the dining room.
With a grimace, Zachary stared at her back, but who was he to judge?
To each their own.
“Mr. York, since you did not work late tonight, can you come home early tomorrow too?”
From the dining hall, Serenity threw a question at the man.
Zachary fell silent for a moment before coldly inquiring “What for?”
The man must be born indifferent as his tone had always been unemotional and flat since their first
encounter.
Serenity grumbled in her mind. Nevertheless, they were merely roommates under the guise of
marriage. They could just divorce if things did not work out !
“I need you to drive me to the market florist tomorrow. I want to buy a few potted plants to put on the
balcony. It’s more convenient since you have a car.”
Zachary was without a word.
“If you can’t get up that early, you can lend me your car I’ll get myself there.”
What time?”
After an internal struggle, Zachary asked for the time in the end. He decided to get up early in the
morning and go with her to the market florist for plants to furnish their balcony.
“Six o’clock. We can have breakfast before getting the plants. We might as well get a few essentials for
the house too.”
Serenity noticed the house was missing a lot of items when she moved in on the first day. She
suspected that Zachary did not live here prior to her occupying the space as there was no hint of life in
the place. “Sure.”
Zachary answered.
Once Serenity finished her cranberries and came to the living room, Zachary asked, “Why did you
close shop early tonight?”
