Her social circle extends beyond just noble ladies, and she is well-versed in current trends, enabling her to help you select a dress that flatters you. She can also discern the quality of materials, so you don’t need to worry about being taken advantage of.”
Zachary was concerned that Serenity might hesitate to spend his money, so he transferred the funds to his mother in advance. His mother was reluctant to accept his money, but Zachary insisted that it was his duty to cover his wife’s expenses, and she shouldn’t have to help him with that burden.
Tania decided to stop arguing with her son and accepted the amount he sent.
“Alright, Zachary.”
“Call me Babe.”
Zachary gazed at her affectionately and whispered, “Say it softly and sweetly so I feel all warm and tingly.”
Serenity playfully slapped his arm and retorted, “You mean like how you say it? That doesn’t make me feel warm; it gives me goosebumps instead.”
“Come on, Seren. If you’re not used to being affectionate, just say it gently. Hearing it makes me feel good, boosts my energy at work, and helps me finish early so I can come back and spend time with you.”
Serenity felt powerless against his persistence and finally called him Babe.
“Even a mosquito is louder than you.”
Serenity was at a loss for words. “Just go to work already. I’ll buy a megaphone when I go shopping with Mom later and use it to call you Babe every day so the whole neighborhood can hear me, okay?”
“Really?”
“Absolutely.”
With Serenity’s persistent encouragement, Zachary reluctantly drove away in his car. After leaving Brynfield, he met up with his bodyguards, got into his private vehicle, and headed to York Corporation with their escort. Meanwhile, after Zachary left for work, Serenity went shopping for an evening dress with her mother-in-law.
