Every year, we make a decent amount of money selling flowers and fruits. We\u2019re not wealthy, but we\u2019re also not struggling financially.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cEven though the elders are retired, they manage a few small businesses that may not be highly profitable or exhausting, but they keep them engaged and provide a sense of fulfillment in their lives.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI\u2019ve offered my parents money, but they always refuse. I once gave them some, but they returned twice that amount to me so I could save it for my wife.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity recalled her last visit with her father-in-law. Although he was older, he was a well-groomed gentleman with admirable composure.<\/div>\n<div>Her mother-in-law wasn\u2019t particularly fond of Serenity but was gracious enough not to show it. She spoke kindly and appeared youthful; Serenity felt that outsiders might mistake them for sisters if they walked side by side.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity and Zachary had been married for some time, and among Zachary\u2019s family, she got along best with Grandma May. She had only met the others during a dinner invitation last time, and Zachary\u2019s family had seldom made an appearance since. She was unaware of where they lived, either.<\/div>\n<div>Grandma May had a strong bond with Serenity. When Serenity inquired about their residence, Grandma May told her they lived at the top of a specific mountain. There were many houses there, and Serenity had no idea which one belonged to them.<\/div>\n<div>Later, Grandma May mentioned that Zachary would eventually take her back for a visit.<\/div>\n<div>However, Zachary had never brought up the idea of returning to his hometown.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity reflected on the agreement and ceased to ask about her husband\u2019s birthplace. She felt that if they could not grow old together, knowing where her<\/p>\n<p>Zachary\u2019s hometown would not matter. However, it was clear that everyone in his family was highly educated. Zachary\u2019s brothers and cousins were exceptionally well-mannered and showed her the respect she deserved. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour parents are very open-minded,\u201d Zachary smiled. \u201cThe elders in my family are also very open-minded.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity agreed. After a while, the stain on Zachary\u2019s face was washed away. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t apply makeup like this again. Thankfully, we were at a hotel; if we had been out shopping, kids might have thought they saw a ghost and would have been terrified.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary was left speechless. \u201cYou didn\u2019t get enough rest last night. Do you still have to go to work? Can you take a day off? Why not take the day off to catch up on sleep?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity thought she could take a nap at the store later. \u201cI have a meeting in the morning, so I can\u2019t take the day off.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She looked at him for a long moment and said apologetically, \u201cI\u2019m sorry you couldn\u2019t rest well.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen how will you make it up to me?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity glanced at the time and replied, \u201cYou still have an hour before you need to work, so you should take a nap while I prepare your compensation.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>What she meant was that she would make him breakfast. <\/p>\n<p>Zachary smiled and let her go. <\/p>\n<p>As she turned to leave, he reminded her, \u201cYou should go back to your room and shower first. You slept so soundly last night that no matter how much I called out to you or nudged you, I had to carry you upstairs.\u201d Serenity\u2019s face inexplicably flushed red. <\/p>\n<p>She quickly left after humming a response. <\/p>\n<p>Zachary stood there, watching her disappear. After some thought, he murmured, \u201cDid she just blush? She ran away so quickly!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t do anything further.<\/p>\n<p>He only mentioned that he had carried her upstairs the previous night. Was that sufficient to make her blush? Zachary couldn\u2019t comprehend why she felt shy, especially since she hadn\u2019t blushed when he kissed her. A woman\u2019s heart is indeed mysterious.<\/p>\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 400 Zachary paused for a moment before saying, \u201cMy parents still earn an income, and our family farmland has [&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-12152","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\/12152","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=12152"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12152\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12201,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12152\/revisions\/12201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
