and said casually, “You certainly have a vivid imagination. I made an effort to romance you, yet you concoct conspiracy theories.” “Did I misjudge?”
The unwavering expression and confidence on his face left Serenity feeling uncertain.
“So you didn’t do anything wrong?”
Zachary responded with a question, “What could I have possibly done wrong? Cheat on you? Not a chance. I’m not great with women. In fact, I was single until my grandmother arranged this marriage for me. Otherwise, I might have remained single for life. There’s absolutely no way I would have an affair.”
He had little desire for relationships. In fact, Zachary was surprised that his feelings for Serenity had developed so quickly. Perhaps they were meant to be together. “No man would admit to having an affair early in the marriage. Everyone enters marriage believing it will last forever.” Zachary hesitated. “Forget it. It’s too soon to discuss this. We can revisit this topic once you do something. I’m getting up.”
Serenity’s thoughts were consumed by her sister’s separation from Hank earlier that day. She climbed off the bed but soon returned, playfully pushing Zachary back down. Grasping his face, she planted a big kiss on him and smiled, “I’m really happy to receive a bouquet and the wedding ring first thing in the morning.” Not long ago, they had been sleeping in separate rooms, and he had even hesitated to give her flowers.
Serenity recognized that some things came more naturally to men. It didn’t take long for them to compensate for their lack of experience with practice. This was true for Zachary; he quickly mastered the art of sweet talk and romance. Releasing him, Serenity spun around and headed to the bathroom. Zachary sat up, touching the spot where she had kissed him. Pursing his lips, he murmured, “Didn’t Nana tell her to jump me and strip me?”
“Naked, and eat me up?” She certainly jumped him, but she didn’t undress him. If Serenity could read his thoughts, she might quip that she wanted to fatten him up before consuming him. Zachary could only hope he wasn’t being treated like a piece of meat! A while later, Serenity emerged from the bathroom. Zachary remained seated on the bed as she approached. In a tender tone, he said, “I’m leaving for a business trip in two days.”
“For how long?” Serenity asked, aware that senior executives at major companies often traveled for work.
