Chapter 361<\/div>\n
A few moments later, Serenity commented, \u201cAfter hearing about your colleague, I believe he\u2019s far better than all the blind dates Jasmine has been on. I\u2019ll ask her what she thinks tomorrow.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s late now, Mr. York. I\u2019m heading back to my room to wash up and get some sleep.\u201d Serenity felt exhausted from shopping. Zachary also stood up and replied softly, \u201cOh, good night.\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity returned the sentiment and entered her room. She was too tired to put away her shopping items and decided to leave them for the morning.<\/div>\n
Noticing her immediate retreat without any desire to linger, Zachary remained silent for a long time in the same spot.<\/div>\n
Eventually, he stepped out onto the balcony, settled onto the swing, and gazed at the night sky, contemplating how their future would unfold.<\/div>\n
Zachary was accustomed to staying up late, so he lingered on the balcony until past eleven before finally returning to his space.<\/div>\n
Although the husband and wife shared the same house, they led separate lives. He refrained from entering her room, and she did not venture into his. Once the doors of their respective rooms were closed, it felt as though they were complete strangers.<\/div>\n
This situation was a result of Zachary\u2019s own actions.<\/div>\n
The night passed in silence. The following day, Serenity awoke at her usual time.<\/div>\n
She instinctively went to the balcony to tend to her flowers.<\/div>\n
While there, she noticed some tiny ants on the balcony. Bending down for a closer look, she followed the ant trail back to their source in several potted plants.<\/div>\n
She understood why there were so many ants around: they had hatched from eggs in the soil since she hadn\u2019t used any pesticides while creating her balcony garden.<\/div>\n

She usually watered the flowers without bending down, so she didn\u2019t notice the ants in the flower pots. After tending to the plants, she grabbed her purse and headed to the market to buy groceries for a home-cooked lunch. While there, she also picked up a few packs of ant repellent and sprinkled them in the flower pots. <\/p>\n

From that point on, Sue knew she had to diligently eliminate insects and ants to protect her flowers, lest the pests spiral out of control. Serenity spent half an hour at the market and returned with several bags of groceries. <\/p>\n

Upon arriving upstairs, she spotted a middle-aged woman standing in front of her house, pulling out her cell phone as if to make a call. \u201cMadam,\u201d Serenity called out. <\/p>\n

The woman was startled by the greeting but smiled in response. Serenity continued, \u201cExcuse me, may I ask who you\u2019re looking for?\u201d Mrs. Lane blinked, taken aback. \u201cIs this the missus?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI was just about to call Mr. Zachary, and our conversation might reveal his identity. Luckily, you interrupted me,\u201d she thought. \u201cOtherwise, if he had answered and I addressed him as Mr. Zachary out of habit, it could raise suspicion about the ordinary persona he has carefully crafted, or I might have inadvertently exposed him.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cHello,\u201d Mrs. Lane replied with a smile. \u201cI\u2019m Mrs. Lane, the nanny Mr. York hired. I\u2019m here to start work today as planned. I came according to the address Mr. York provided. Are you Mrs. York?\u201d <\/p>\n

So it was Mrs. Lane, after all. Serenity took out her keys and opened the door, saying, \u201cMr. York mentioned you. You can just call me Serenity, Mrs. Lane. I\u2019m not used to being called Mrs. York.\u201d In truth, she still felt like the same free and unfettered Serenity Hunt, only remembering her marriage when she saw Zachary. \u201cThat\u2019s\u2026 not\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cReally\u2026\u201d Mrs. Lane hesitated to address the woman by her name. As they spoke, she had already assessed Serenity. Noticing that Serenity was carrying several bags of freshly purchased groceries, Mrs. Lane perceived her as down-to-earth, much like Old Mrs. York. <\/p>\n

Unlike other wealthy women, Serenity did not come across as arrogant or haughty. She welcomed Mrs. Lane into her home with a smile, saying, \u201cSince you\u2019re joining us for work, we have a professional relationship. You can just call me by my name; there\u2019s no need to call me \u2018Missus.’\u201d <\/p>\n

After hearing the exchange between Serenity and Mrs. Lane, Zachary quickly got dressed and emerged from his room. \u201cMr. York.\u201d<\/p>\n
