Chapter 259<\/div>\n
Zachary noticed that Serenity was completely absorbed in her phone, and he felt an urge to snatch it away from her.<\/div>\n
Fortunately, his self-control prevailed, and he refrained from doing so, mindful of not jeopardizing their relationship again.<\/div>\n
He stepped closer, positioned himself in front of Serenity, and said in a deep voice, \u201cHoney.\u201d<\/div>\n
Bam!<\/div>\n
Serenity was so startled by his use of \u201choney\u201d that she dropped her phone onto the floor.<\/div>\n
She immediately bent down to retrieve it and gasped when she saw the screen was severely cracked. \u201cMy phone case cost a hundred bucks!\u201d she exclaimed in dismay.<\/div>\n
Zachary took the phone from her to inspect the damage. It was indeed broken quite badly. Upon hearing her lament about the phone case, he replied, \u201cI\u2019ll buy you ten as compensation.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cYou should get a few more for me. I\u2019m worried I might drop my phone case again and break them multiple times if you keep losing your temper and calling me \u2018honey\u2019,\u201d she quipped.<\/div>\n
The corner of Zachary\u2019s mouth twitched. He regarded her in silence for a moment before responding seriously, \u201cSerenity, we\u2019re still husband and wife.\u201d<\/div>\n
It was completely normal and justifiable for him to call her \u201choney.\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity took her phone back from him and asked, bemused, \u201cSo, what else do you want to say? I think it would be better if you start calling me by my name from now on. I\u2019m not used to calling you \u2018babe,\u2019 and I\u2019m not accustomed to you calling me \u2018honey\u2019 either.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/div>\n
Zachary\u2019s expression was earnest; he believed he appeared apologetic.<\/div>\n
However, to Serenity, he looked so serious that he resembled a strict head teacher\u2014someone students would go out of their way to avoid.<\/div>\n
That was not the intention.<\/div>\n
\u201cThat night, I acted a bit impulsively.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry for the things I\u2019ve done to you,\u201d he said, his gaze fixed on her as if expecting her to respond.<\/p>\n

Serenity simply stared back, waiting for him to elaborate. It was surprising that after those two sentences, he fell silent, leaving her in a state of confusion.<\/p>\n

This was his apology for the way he had mistreated her; however, he offered no acknowledgment of his misunderstanding regarding her relationship with Shawn.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing between Shawn and me,\u201d Serenity reiterated, having explained it before but willing to clarify once again. \u201cI don\u2019t have any romantic feelings for him. I took him out for a meal to thank him for his help. That\u2019s all there was to it. Plus, our agreement states that we won\u2019t interfere in each other\u2019s private lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

She had kept her end of the bargain.<\/p>\n

Zachary was at a loss for words. He regretted ever making her sign that agreement; it hadn\u2019t restricted her but had instead become a burden he couldn\u2019t shake off.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, Jasmine was concerned that you might think she was trying to set me up with Shawn, so she asked me to clarify that neither she nor I have ever considered that,\u201d Serenity continued.<\/p>\n

With this revelation, Zachary finally believed that Serenity had no romantic interest in Shawn. He pursed his lips and asked, \u201cAre you aware that Shawn has a crush on you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Serenity was taken aback. Shawn had feelings for her? That seemed unlikely\u2026 didn\u2019t it? After all, she was three years older than him.<\/p>\n

\u201cAside from the day you saw Shawn and me having lunch, when else have you met him? How do you know he has a crush on me? Did he tell you?\u201d she inquired.<\/p>\n

Zachary leaned forward, resting his hands on the counter, his attractive face now inches from hers.<\/p>\n

Serenity blinked, her wide eyes reflecting her surprise.<\/p>\n

He truly is handsome. Every time Serenity found herself close to him, she felt an irresistible urge to touch his face. She had tasted those thin lips before and had to admit that his demeanor was cold and aloof by nature. However, when he kissed her, his passion ignited like a fierce flame, as if he wanted to melt her entire being. <\/p>\n

\u201cLook into my eyes,\u201d Zachary commanded in a low voice. <\/p>\n

Serenity met his gaze. What did she see there? <\/p>\n

It was just his eyes. <\/p>\n

\u201cDo you see it?\u201d he asked. <\/p>\n

\u201cI see your eyes,\u201d she replied. <\/p>\n

The corner of Zachary\u2019s mouth twitched slightly. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat exactly do you want me to see? I can tell your eyes are quite large. They\u2019re very nice, just like your face. Mr. York, you are truly blessed by the heavens; you possess all the virtues of a handsome man.\u201d <\/p>\n

Unable to resist teasing him, Serenity cupped his face with both hands and pinched his cheeks. \u201cYou always wear such a stiff expression. I thought your face would feel as hard as marble, but it\u2019s surprisingly soft. I\u2019ve heard that people with soft facial muscles tend to have a good temperament. You have a rather bad temper, yet your face feels soft when I pinch it.\u201d<\/p>\n
