Chapter 410
Zachary answered her call immediately.
“Mr. York, how are you feeling this morning? Are you managing alright? If not, you should take the rest of the day off to rest after your meeting.”
Her concern made Zachary feel happy. Leaning back in his black swiveling chair, he replied while spinning, “I only managed to get through because I had a cup of coffee after returning to the office. Work is almost done. I can sleep soon.”
“Aren’t you going to eat?”
“I’m too tired and don’t have an appetite. I really don’t feel like it.”
“That’s not acceptable. You worked all morning. If you skip lunch, you might end up with gastric issues, which will make it harder to fully recover later.”
Zachary replied softly, “I just don’t feel like eating.”
“After you finish work, you should get some rest. I’ll bring some food over shortly and call you when I arrive at your office.”
He had lost sleep due to her sister’s issue, and for the sake of their public image, Serenity couldn’t allow Zachary to skip lunch.
“Alright then. I’ll take a nap in the office for a while. Call me when you arrive. Drive safely.”
“I slept for half the day at the shop, so I’m feeling good. It’s fine. You should take care of what you need to do. Once you’re finished, make sure to get some rest.”
After saying that, Serenity hung up.
She then got up and entered the kitchen, retrieving an insulated lunch box. As she washed it, she told Mrs. Lane, “Mrs. Lane, Mr. York won’t be back for lunch, so I’m sending some food over. You all can eat first. Just save some for me, and I’ll come back to eat later.”
Mrs. Lane quickly replied, “The food is already prepared. They can eat as soon as you’re ready.”
Serenity’s sister arrived, prompting her to suggest, “Why don’t you eat first? If you wait until you get back, it will likely be past one o’clock, and you might end up with gastric issues.” Serenity paused to consider this advice. Realizing it was sound, she allowed Mrs. Lane to fill the lunch box with pasta and various side dishes, even including some soup for him. Eventually, the insulated lunch box was packed to the brim.
In a hurry, Serenity quickly consumed a bowl of soup and devoured a bowl of pasta, barely touching the side dishes. After filling her stomach in just a few moments, she picked up the insulated lunch box and said to Mrs. Lane, “I’m going to drop off the food first, Mrs. Lane. Please keep an eye on Sonny while it gets busy later.”
The students were generally respectful and required little supervision; Jasmine only needed to manage the cash register.
“I will. You should hurry and take the food to Mr. York,” Mrs. Lane urged, concerned that Zachary might be hungry.
After finishing a call with his wife while still in the office, Zachary happily sent a text to Josh.
Zachary: [You can go ahead and eat at the hotel without me. I’m not going anymore.]
Josh: [Are you going to Mrs. York’s shop again?]
Zachary: [I’m too sleepy, so I’ll take a nap to catch up on some rest first. My wife is worried about me and is sending over some food herself.]
Josh felt no inclination to respond further. It felt as if a public display of affection had been thrust in his face. He suspected that Zachary was intentionally flaunting his marital bliss to provoke him into looking forward to his own marriage and date with Jasmine even more, so Zachary could have bragging rights as the matchmaker.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
This interrupted Zachary, who had been eager to demonstrate the affection between him and his wife.
The person outside didn’t wait for his response; they simply pushed the door open and walked in.
It was Nana.
“Nana, why are you here?”
And at this particular moment, too.
Serenity would be arriving soon as well. Did Nana rush over just to be a third wheel?
Not only did she come by herself, but she also brought a suitcase with her.
Seeing Nana drag in that luggage, Zachary’s expression soured. His brows knitted together as he asked, “Nana, what are you doing?”
