He came to invite Jasmine to dinner. Jasmine and he watched as Serenity got into Zachary’s car. When Zachary’s car drove away, Josh nudged Jasmine’s arm and asked, “Have they made up? Zachary looked like he had just won the lottery when he came out of the office. He seemed ready to float away.”
“The money from a lottery win can’t compare to his savings,” Jasmine replied. “What does he have to be excited about? Serenity is only willing to talk to him now. They won’t reconcile that quickly; the issue needs to be resolved first. As I said, Serenity won’t run away from her problems. She just needs some time to calm down and think of solutions.”
Josh praised her, saying, “Yes, yes, yes, you’re the most beautiful lady. Everything you say is right.”
Jasmine glared at him. “That sounds more like sarcasm than a compliment. When have I ever commented on my appearance? Besides, I wouldn’t dare talk about my looks in front of someone important like you.”
“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said that.”
Josh laughed. “Let’s go. I’ll treat you to Italian.”
“Call Drake.”
Josh was taken aback and reluctantly replied, “Sure.”
Well, it was his mistake for pursuing the brother-in-law route first. Now, his future brother-in-law had become the third wheel. He really shot himself in the foot.
Back at Brynfield, Zachary said, “You watch TV first, Seren. I’ll go cook.”
Zachary entered the house, removed his suit jacket, and headed straight for the kitchen. He grabbed an apron from the hook and put it on. “We can talk after dinner.”
After receiving Serenity’s call, Zachary contacted Mrs. Lane and asked her to send groceries over. However, he insisted on cooking himself.
Serenity remained silent as she went to the balcony to water the flowers.
Zachary hurriedly rushed out and nervously reminded her, “Seren, be careful not to let water touch your hand. It could get infected.”
