But why didn\u2019t you just paint your entire face black from the start?\u201d Serenity said as she guided him toward the kitchen.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary followed her but halted after two steps. He frowned and asked, \u201cWhy are you taking me to the kitchen?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThere\u2019s a sink in the kitchen. I can\u2019t go into your room, so how can I wash your face without taking you to the kitchen? Or you could just wait here while I grab a wet towel to clean your face.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary was at a loss for words. He felt like he had shot himself in the foot, and it hurt. After a brief silence, he replied nonchalantly, \u201cI have a men\u2019s facial cleanser in my bathroom that should remove these stains.\u201d He then turned and headed toward his room. After opening the door, he looked back and commanded, \u201cCome over and help me wash my face!\u201d Serenity scoffed and approached him. \u201cZachary, you invited me into your room! I\u2019m not sneaking in, so you can\u2019t hold this against me if we argue in the future. I\u2019ve always kept my promises and followed our agreement.\u201d Zachary was left speechless. When she got closer, he couldn\u2019t help but flick her forehead and asked, \u201cAre you hoping for us to argue again?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cArguments are unavoidable when living together. Which married couple doesn\u2019t argue?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>She then thought, \u2018Especially when it\u2019s someone as petty as you\u2026 You\u2019ll delete my WhatsApp whenever we have a disagreement.\u2019<\/div>\n<p>A fight ensued, and he gave her the cold shoulder. Serenity couldn\u2019t promise that they wouldn\u2019t have conflicts in the future. Zachary opened his mouth to respond, but he found no way to refute her statement. Grumpily, he turned and walked into the bathroom. Serenity muttered to herself, \u201cWhy does he even want to wash it off? His face is just as dark anyway\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary suddenly halted and turned to glare at her. \u201cWhat are you mumbling about?\u201d he asked in a low voice. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said you\u2019re more handsome than a movie star. It\u2019s a shame you\u2019re not in showbiz. Why not become a celebrity? I could be your agent! I promise you\u2019ll be so popular that your hands will cramp from counting all the cash!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary shot her another glare. \u201cKeep up with me!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She thought he was deaf and couldn\u2019t hear her speaking ill of him behind his back. Hand cramps from counting money? Zachary didn\u2019t need to be a celebrity for that; he had already made enough money that she could count until her hands ached. She could even use cash to wallpaper her room!<\/p>\n<p>Serenity obediently caught up with him and entered the ensuite bathroom in his room. She noticed that his bathroom was larger than hers, featuring a spacious bathtub that could fit two people. <\/p>\n<p>Huh? <\/p>\n<p>Her thoughts wandered to more intimate places, and she quickly shook off those random ideas. When she snapped back to reality, she saw Zachary removing his clothes. <\/p>\n<p>Why was he undressing when he only needed to wash his face? How should she react? Should she cover her face and scream, or simply enjoy the view?<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 398 Serenity had a revelation after being gazed at intently and cautiously asked Zachary, \u201cMr. York, would you like [&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-12150","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\/12150","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=12150"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12150\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12199,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12150\/revisions\/12199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
