Chapter 1116
The clock struck nine.
There were still two hours remaining before the event concluded.
Nevertheless, Zachary had made the journey to take his wife home.
Mr. Jefferson smiled and said, “It’s wonderful that you could stop by, Mr. York. It’s my mother’s eightieth birthday. Would you honor us by joining the party?”
Instead of responding to Mr. Jefferson, Zachary spoke quietly, “Jim.”
Jim stepped forward, carrying a gift.
Zachary said, “I apologize for the intrusion. This is a small gift for the birthday girl. I wish your mother happiness and longevity.”
Even though Zachary would not be attending the celebration, he showed respect for Old Mrs. Jefferson by preparing a gift.
Jim handed the present to Mr. Jefferson, who graciously accepted it and thanked Zachary profusely.
Standing there, Zachary looked quite dashing. The bouquet appeared stunning under the night lights.
Noticing that Zachary had no intention of entering, Mr. Jefferson refrained from insisting and instructed the maid to fetch Serenity.
However, Mr. Jefferson did not need to do this, as Zachary’s arrival created quite a stir. Serenity, who had been enjoying food in a corner, was startled. Upon realizing Zachary was there, she set down her cutlery and told Elisa she would see what was happening.
“Zachary.”
As she exited the corner, Serenity recognized Zachary. She called his name and had to stop herself from running when she remembered she was wearing high stilettos.
Zachary’s gaze was fixed on her. He had to admit that Serenity looked stunning in those heels. She resembled a princess straight out of a fairy tale, adorned in her evening gown, light makeup, and jewelry.
He maintained a serious expression in front of Mr. Jefferson and the others. However, the moment his eyes landed on Serenity,
His tense facial muscles relaxed into a smile as Zachary focused solely on her.
“Seren,” he said, carrying the bouquet of roses. He brushed past Mr. Jefferson and made his way directly to his princess.
“Why are you here?” Serenity inquired.
Zachary presented her with the flowers and replied softly, “I bought these from Spring Blossoms.”
Serenity would be pleased to know that Zachary supported Camryn’s business. As she accepted the bouquet, he said in a low voice, “I’m here to take you home.”
Lifting her chin, Serenity smiled and responded, “It’s early. It’s only nine o’clock.”
Zachary gazed deeply into her eyes, remaining silent. Serenity blinked, recalling her promise to him. She found herself at a loss for words.
“I need to let Aunt Audrey and Elisa know,” she said. Since he was holding her to her word, she had to follow through.
Affection radiated from his eyes as he held her hand and led her to the car. “We can leave a message with Mr. Jefferson. He’ll relay it to your aunt and cousin,” Zachary suggested.
Serenity looked at him, both amused and speechless. She had whispered a promise in his ear just the other day, and now he had come early to pick her up from the Jeffersons’ residence. She hoped she could wake up in time for work tomorrow.
“We’re leaving now, Mr. Jefferson. Please inform Mrs. Stone that I’m taking Seren home,” Zachary said.
“Alright,” came the reply from Mrs. Stone, who was standing nearby with a few other ladies, watching the scene unfold.
“I have to go, Aunt Audrey,” Serenity called out.
Mrs. Stone nodded in understanding, smiling warmly. Serenity felt…
embarrassed.
It was unfortunate that her partner lacked any sense of shame. As onlookers observed, he guided her into the
car and closed the door, preventing anyone from probing further.
