She experienced abdominal pain. “Not right now, but I probably will tomorrow,” she said. During the first two days of her period, she often felt uncomfortable, suffering from either abdominal cramps or backaches, which made her quite irritable. After those two days, however, she would feel fine.
Zachary sat in silence for a moment before offering, “I’ll make you some hot cocoa.”
“Okay, thanks,” she replied. Just as Zachary was about to leave, he added, “Seren, we’re husband and wife. You don’t need to be so formal with me.” A couple who interacted so courteously couldn’t truly be in love.
Serenity pursed her lips and stayed silent. Zachary gazed at her thoughtfully for a moment before getting up to make the hot cocoa in the small kitchen.
Beep beep! Serenity received a new message. She pulled out her phone and saw it was from Jim.
“Missus, the boss hasn’t eaten yet.”
Serenity quickly replied, “Got it.”
Putting her phone down, she stood up and walked into the kitchen as well. Since the sisters frequently ate out, the kitchen was almost bare. Serenity peeked into the fridge and quietly closed the door.
“Seren, what are you looking for? What do you want to eat? Just tell me, and I’ll make it for you,” Zachary offered.
“It’s nothing. I’m just checking if there are any groceries left. If not, I’ll need to go to the supermarket tomorrow morning,” Serenity explained before turning to leave the kitchen.
Back on the sofa, she texted Jim, “Jim, please order some fast food for your boss and send it over here.”
Jim quickly responded, “Missus, I’ve ordered the fast food and will send it up ASAP.”
She couldn’t help but admire Jim in her heart for his quick wit. Soon after, the doorbell rang. Serenity stood up to answer the door, and there was Jim. Upon seeing her open the door, he respectfully greeted her with, “Missus.”
