Jasmine’s heart ached for her cousin, but all she could do was offer him comfort. With her character, she could not support her cousin in pursuing Serenity and disrupting her marital happiness. Moreover, Zachary was now in love with Serenity and treated her exceptionally well. For Serenity’s sake, Zachary even bowed to Elisa and recognized her as his cousin-in-law. Regardless of his feelings for Serenity, they were still legally married, and Jasmine was unwilling to let her cousin interfere in her best friend’s marriage.
He would be a homewrecker, and the Sox family did not have homewreckers among their relatives.
“There’s no one for now, but I’m afraid you’ll attract a rival as remarkable as I am as you continue to improve in the future,” he said.
Serenity laughed, “I won’t ever surpass you, no matter how hard I try. Besides, we are worlds apart. Even if I wanted to flatter myself, there’s no way I could attract a rival on your level. Everyone in Wiltspoon knows I’m your wife.
Many people may not have seen me, but they are familiar with my name. As soon as they hear ‘Serenity Hunt,’ no one would dare try to steal me away.”
As they walked and talked, they strolled for a while before arriving at their building. They took the elevator to the eighth floor and returned to their cozy home. The lights were on, and the TV was playing, indicating that Zachary had been watching television while waiting for her to come back.
“Where’s Mrs. Lane?”
“She’s not here. I’m not in a rush to call her back,” he replied, wanting to spend some private time with Serenity first.
Once inside, Zachary quickly retrieved Serenity’s indoor slippers from the shoe rack and urged her to change out of her shoes.
Serenity sighed contentedly after slipping into her slippers. “Slippers are the best,” she said.
“If you’re not accustomed to wearing high heels, just stick to flats in the future. You’re already quite tall, and you’ll still be taller than most without the heels,” Zachary advised. He wanted to ensure that his beloved wife wasn’t putting her feet through unnecessary pain.
