We won\u2019t take advantage of her.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity and Jasmine were unable to stop Elisa from placing those items in the bookstore. If they refused to accept them, they could only imagine how furious Elisa would become, so they felt compelled to accept them for the time being.<\/div>\n<div>While tidying up earlier, Jasmine and Serenity had a rough idea of the value of those items. They planned to find an opportunity in the future to repay Elisa\u2019s kindness.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cIt\u2019s not about taking advantage of her. Your store isn\u2019t very large. You already have numerous bookshelves and storage boxes, yet Ms. Stone keeps adding items to your store. It\u2019s not like you can sell them. Isn\u2019t that just wasting space?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>In truth, Zachary was more annoyed that he did not occupy any space in his wife\u2019s store while Elisa had taken the initiative.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary felt that Elisa was monopolizing his wife\u2019s attention, leading to a stronger dislike for her than he felt for his romantic rival, Shawn Lowe.<\/div>\n<div>Moreover, since Elisa was a woman, he couldn\u2019t say, \u201cSerenity, I don\u2019t like that you\u2019re spending so much time with Elisa. It makes me jealous, so you should distance yourself from her.\u201d If he were to say something like that, Serenity would look at him oddly, leaving him embarrassed.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cOur house is spacious. Why don\u2019t I just move these things home instead?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary was left speechless.<\/div>\n<div>He was already frustrated that Elisa\u2019s belongings were taking up space in Serenity\u2019s store, and now Serenity suggested moving them to their home?!<\/div>\n<div>\u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary lowered his head, not wanting to argue with Serenity over such a trivial matter. Serenity was a free-spirited person, and he often found himself more frustrated during their conflicts.<\/div>\n<div>This was<\/p>\n<p>something he had encountered previously.<\/p>\n<p>When Serenity was upset, she indulged in a shopping spree, spending tens of thousands of dollars on his card. Despite this, she carried on with her day as usual and remained cheerful. In contrast, Zachary became so furious that he retreated to his villa. If Grandma May hadn\u2019t intervened to help them reconcile, Serenity would still be ignoring Zachary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n<p>Serenity decided to drop the topic and joined Zachary as they closed the shop and got into his car.<\/p>\n<p>Upon entering, she noticed a child safety seat in the back. <\/p>\n<p>Zachary explained, \u201cI drive you to work sometimes, and since Sonny is too young to sit alone, I bought a safety seat.\u201d Serenity listened to his explanation, studying him in silence. After a long pause, she asked earnestly, \u201cMr. York, what would you do if I fell in love with you one day?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His caring and thoughtful nature touched her heart.<\/p>\n<p>Zachary gazed at her for a moment before leaning closer, wrapping his arm around her waist, and pulling her to his side. His handsome face moved nearer, and his lips brushed against hers. After a brief moment, he pulled away and whispered in her ear, \u201cI don\u2019t know what will happen because you haven\u2019t fallen in love with me yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Serenity was left speechless.<\/p>\n<p>She raised her hand to gently push him away and fastened her seatbelt, acting as if nothing had happened. \u201cSo, where are you taking me to help me forget my worries?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zachary straightened up. \u201cSince you\u2019re in my car, just follow my lead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHmm\u2026 how about we go to the beach for some fresh air?\u201d Zachary smiled. \u201cSure.\u201d He started the car and then asked, \u201cDid you pay for the bed and wardrobe?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He hadn\u2019t received any bank transaction notifications, so he assumed.<\/p>\n<div>She used her own money.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYeah. I forgot to take the card you gave me for household expenses when I went shopping, so I ended up paying for them. We\u2019re married, so there\u2019s no need to be so calculating, right?\u201d Zachary pursed his lips, knowing she was the one being calculating.<\/div>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"text-chapter-toolbar\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\"><i class=\"icon ion-md-settings\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 382 When Zachary heard this, he frowned and was about to respond, but Serenity interjected, \u201cJasmine and I will [&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-12134","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\/12134","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=12134"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12134\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12183,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12134\/revisions\/12183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
