Chapter 382
When Zachary heard this, he frowned and was about to respond, but Serenity interjected, “Jasmine and I will find other ways to compensate Elisa. We won’t take advantage of her.”
Serenity and Jasmine were unable to stop Elisa from placing those items in the bookstore. If they refused to accept them, they could only imagine how furious Elisa would become, so they felt compelled to accept them for the time being.
While tidying up earlier, Jasmine and Serenity had a rough idea of the value of those items. They planned to find an opportunity in the future to repay Elisa’s kindness.
“It’s not about taking advantage of her. Your store isn’t very large. You already have numerous bookshelves and storage boxes, yet Ms. Stone keeps adding items to your store. It’s not like you can sell them. Isn’t that just wasting space?”
In truth, Zachary was more annoyed that he did not occupy any space in his wife’s store while Elisa had taken the initiative.
Zachary felt that Elisa was monopolizing his wife’s attention, leading to a stronger dislike for her than he felt for his romantic rival, Shawn Lowe.
Moreover, since Elisa was a woman, he couldn’t say, “Serenity, I don’t like that you’re spending so much time with Elisa. It makes me jealous, so you should distance yourself from her.” If he were to say something like that, Serenity would look at him oddly, leaving him embarrassed.
“Our house is spacious. Why don’t I just move these things home instead?”
Zachary was left speechless.
He was already frustrated that Elisa’s belongings were taking up space in Serenity’s store, and now Serenity suggested moving them to their home?!
“Let’s go.”
Zachary lowered his head, not wanting to argue with Serenity over such a trivial matter. Serenity was a free-spirited person, and he often found himself more frustrated during their conflicts.
This was
something he had encountered previously.
When Serenity was upset, she indulged in a shopping spree, spending tens of thousands of dollars on his card. Despite this, she carried on with her day as usual and remained cheerful. In contrast, Zachary became so furious that he retreated to his villa. If Grandma May hadn’t intervened to help them reconcile, Serenity would still be ignoring Zachary.
“Okay,” she replied.
Serenity decided to drop the topic and joined Zachary as they closed the shop and got into his car.
Upon entering, she noticed a child safety seat in the back.
Zachary explained, “I drive you to work sometimes, and since Sonny is too young to sit alone, I bought a safety seat.” Serenity listened to his explanation, studying him in silence. After a long pause, she asked earnestly, “Mr. York, what would you do if I fell in love with you one day?”
His caring and thoughtful nature touched her heart.
Zachary gazed at her for a moment before leaning closer, wrapping his arm around her waist, and pulling her to his side. His handsome face moved nearer, and his lips brushed against hers. After a brief moment, he pulled away and whispered in her ear, “I don’t know what will happen because you haven’t fallen in love with me yet.”
Serenity was left speechless.
She raised her hand to gently push him away and fastened her seatbelt, acting as if nothing had happened. “So, where are you taking me to help me forget my worries?”
Zachary straightened up. “Since you’re in my car, just follow my lead.”
“Hmm… how about we go to the beach for some fresh air?” Zachary smiled. “Sure.” He started the car and then asked, “Did you pay for the bed and wardrobe?”
He hadn’t received any bank transaction notifications, so he assumed.
She used her own money.
“Yeah. I forgot to take the card you gave me for household expenses when I went shopping, so I ended up paying for them. We’re married, so there’s no need to be so calculating, right?” Zachary pursed his lips, knowing she was the one being calculating.
