“Why aren’t you in bed at this hour? What’s the point of calling me in the middle of the night?”
“I’m at your gate.”
“Oh.”
“Ms. Sox, is Seren asleep? Can you call her out? I’ll take her home.”
Jasmine replied, “Have you checked the time? She’s asleep. Come back in two days. She said she’d stay with me for a few days and will go home after my engagement party.”
Zachary paused for a moment before saying, “It’s still before midnight. Is Seren really asleep, or does she not want to see me?”
To Zachary, it was still early; however, for most people, it was late at night.
“It’s good that you realize that.”
Zachary fell silent.
“Mr. York, I’ve told you what Seren wants. You can either go home or wait here until morning to see if she wants to meet you. I’m going to bed. Good night.”
Jasmine hung up before Zachary could respond.
She then silenced her phone, ensuring she wouldn’t hear anything even if Zachary flooded her with calls.
Zachary helplessly put his phone back in his pocket and looked up at the Soxes’ house. He noticed a light coming from a room on the third floor, which he assumed was Jasmine’s bedroom.
Given the close friendship between Serenity and Jasmine, they must be sharing a room.
Zachary wanted to shout but was concerned about waking anyone else.
He stood at the gate for a while, inspecting the surrounding walls of the Soxes’ residence. They were quite tall. Although the gate to the yard was high, climbing over the wall seemed easier.
Zachary contemplated whether he should scale the wall and take Serenity home.
However, he knew it would make him appear like a thief.
He could never…
He would never show his face in town if word got out. In the end, Zachary pulled out his phone again to call Jasmine, but she did not answer. However, she quickly sent him a text message: “Seren doesn’t want to go back with you.” After receiving Jasmine’s message, Zachary assumed Serenity was still awake; she just didn’t want to take his call or acknowledge him. He decided to climb over the gate to reach her.
