Please don\u2019t order takeout for lunch; it\u2019s not healthy to rely on it too much.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cSeren, keep an eye on Sonny,\u201d she added.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity didn\u2019t try to stop her sister from going to get the ingredients; instead, she reminded Liberty to be cautious while on the road.<\/div>\n<div>Today, Serenity chose to ride her e-bike to work instead of driving her new car. It was simply more convenient and faster, especially since she wanted to avoid the dreaded rush hour traffic.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cLiberty, I\u2019ll send you some money,\u201d she called out.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity wanted to ensure that her sister wouldn\u2019t have to dip into the food budget provided by her husband, so she transferred some funds to Liberty.<\/div>\n<div>Liberty hopped on her e-bike and headed to the market, confident she had enough money to buy groceries for her sister as well.<\/div>\n<div>After watching Liberty ride away, Serenity went back inside the store. Sonny, having visited the store before, was familiar with Jasmine and was calm\u2014he didn\u2019t cry or fuss when his mother left him. Instead, the little boy wandered around, eagerly exploring the books and pens within his reach.<\/div>\n<div>His curiosity was clearly aroused.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cDid your husband call?\u201d Jasmine teased, giving her a knowing wink. \u201cHe must really miss you to reach out during work hours.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHe called to check if my money-hungry relatives had been in touch,\u201d Serenity replied with a chuckle.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cOh, that\u2019s just him showing he cares,\u201d Jasmine said. \u201cSeren, have you thought about pursuing a real relationship with Mr. York?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI do believe he\u2019s a good man after spending so much time with him, but we\u2019ll see how things develop,\u201d Serenity responded thoughtfully.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary still seemed to keep his distance from her, maintaining a wall around himself. Serenity didn\u2019t want to come on too strong, so she decided to take a more laid-back approach for now.<\/div>\n<p>The flow.<\/p>\n<p>Serenity reflected on the light kiss they shared that morning, surprised that neither of them took things further. She felt as though she had struck gold, realizing how innocent Zachary was in that regard. It\u2019s quite uncommon for a man his age to possess such innocence.<\/p>\n<p>This also indicated that Zachary was indifferent to romantic relationships. It was no surprise that his grandmother had to put in so much effort to bring them together. Without Nana\u2019s involvement, Zachary\u2019s temperament suggested that he might be lucky to find a partner by the time he turned fifty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJasmine, what are some good gifts for men?\u201d Serenity asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you planning to give your man a gift?\u201d Jasmine responded with curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has helped me so much, and I want to show my appreciation,\u201d Serenity explained.<\/p>\n<p>Jasmine\u2019s enthusiasm was palpable. \u201cI\u2019ve noticed that my mother usually buys my father clothes, ties, watches, and shoes. He enjoys drinking, so sometimes she gifts him fine wine as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLULU\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m unsure about his size, and his wardrobe is entirely black. I suggested he try some color, but he immediately dismissed the idea. He looked glum, and his tone was icy when he told me not to worry about his clothing choices,\u201d Serenity admitted.<\/p>\n<p>Jasmine chuckled. \u201cYour man seems tough and unyielding; wearing a black suit only enhances that stern demeanor. I can tell he\u2019s climbed high on the corporate ladder, outpacing many of his peers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust consider what he enjoys and choose a gift based on that,\u201d she advised.<\/p>\n<p>However, Serenity felt lost. The main issue was that she had no idea what his preferences were.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou could ask Grandma May for help,\u201d Jasmine suggested, offering a solution.<\/p>\n<p>Serenity thought this was a great idea and promptly called Grandma May for advice.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 117 Serenity tucked her phone into her pants pocket, preparing to head back into the store when she spotted [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11769\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
