Chapter 85<\/p>\n

As Zachary admired the balcony garden, he softly remarked, \u201cOnce we move into a bungalow, we could fill the entire yard with roses. Just imagine how beautiful they would look as they climb up the walls in full bloom.\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity smiled at his vision but responded, \u201cThe property prices have soared to an all-time high. I can hardly gather enough for a deposit on a studio apartment, let alone a bungalow.\u201d In truth, Serenity had entertained the idea of a bungalow, but only in her dreams. Who wouldn\u2019t want to live in a bungalow if it were within reach? The privacy of a standalone building was appealing, especially since apartments often lacked soundproofing, making them less than ideal sanctuaries.<\/p>\n

Zachary chose to remain silent. The current place they were living in had been a rushed purchase before their marriage. Before this, he had resided in a vast mansion. <\/p>\n

\u201cYork, grab some breakfast,\u201d he instructed. \u201cI\u2019ll join you after I finish watering the flowers.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cSure,\u201d Serenity replied, as Zachary turned and made his way to the dining hall. Although Serenity\u2019s breakfasts were simple, she always found ways to switch up the recipes, keeping things interesting. She was a fantastic cook, capable of making even toast and homemade jam taste delightful. Zachary, whose taste buds had been spoiled by the finest gourmet meals, found Serenity\u2019s humble dishes refreshingly delicious.<\/p>\n

Today, Zachary was the first to leave the house. On his way to the office building, he encountered Josh, who raised an eyebrow at him. Zachary maintained a neutral expression as Josh asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s with the hot and bothered look?\u201d <\/p>\n

As they walked side by side, Josh teased him in a whisper, \u201cWhat\u2019s going on? Can\u2019t keep your lady satisfied?\u201d Zachary turned to Josh, giving him a sharp glare before continuing on his way.<\/p>\n

his breakfast order. <\/p>\n

\u201cKnowing you, you couldn\u2019t possibly have had a wild night,\u201d Zachary shot back, a hint of annoyance in his tone. <\/p>\n

\u201cOh?\u201d Josh leaned in, clearly interested in Zachary\u2019s current situation. \u201cWhy do you look like you didn\u2019t get enough rest last night then?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cHow can you tell?\u201d Zachary questioned. It was perplexing. How could he possibly appear disheveled when he had never experienced an exhilarating night? Moreover, Serenity didn\u2019t exactly make his heart race, nor did he feel any primal instincts when he was with her. <\/p>\n

Reflecting on this, Zachary had to concede that he was somewhat emotionally detached. <\/p>\n

\u201cI saw it with my own two eyes,\u201d Josh replied knowingly. \u201cAnyway, I ordered breakfast. Have you eaten? Come join me.\u201d <\/p>\n

Zachary turned back to his friend, pursing his lips before responding, \u201cI have a wife. I get out of bed to find breakfast already prepared. Only singles would think to order breakfast in the office.\u201d <\/p>\n

Josh appeared momentarily taken aback. <\/p>\n

\u201cGeez,\u201d he muttered under his breath. Zachary\u2019s marital status certainly gave him a unique edge. <\/p>\n

Curiosity piqued, Josh asked, \u201cSo, how\u2019s everything going with your investigation? Don\u2019t forget to send that file to my office later.\u201d <\/p>\n

With a grin, Josh reassured him, \u201cYou know you can count on me. I\u2019ll make sure it gets delivered to your office right away.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cGood,\u201d Zachary replied, pleased with the arrangement. <\/p>\n

After their brief exchange, Zachary headed to his personal elevator, making his way to the top floor. Since Josh\u2019s office wasn\u2019t located there, he preferred not to share the elevator with his stoic boss. <\/p>\n

In the office, while Zachary was often perceived as a cold figure, Josh had a much warmer reputation and was well-liked among their peers. Unlike Zachary, he wasn\u2019t seen as a mere wax figure. <\/p>\n

As Zachary settled into his office, he was greeted by Josh, who entered with\u2026<\/p>\n

His breakfast delivery.<\/p>\n
