She complains that I\u2019m not much of a talker and that she prefers you,\u201d Zachary said.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity replied casually, \u201cWe can take Nana on vacation together.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Having achieved what he wanted, Zachary agreed, \u201cSure.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThere\u2019s a resort in the western suburb. I\u2019ll take you and Nana there tomorrow for some fresh air,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n<div>Liberty and Hank would begin their divorce proceedings the day after tomorrow, so as Liberty\u2019s family, they needed to be there to support her.<\/div>\n<div>This is why Zachary only had one day to spend with his wife.<\/div>\n<div>The resort was one of the Yorks\u2019 many properties, but it also operated as a profitable business open to the public. It attracted a high number of vacationers every year seeking a getaway.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI heard the place is beautiful and entertaining.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI\u2019ve never been there. I wonder what it\u2019s like,\u201d Serenity said.<\/div>\n<div>She pulled out her phone to look up pictures of the resort, and after viewing them, she began to anticipate tomorrow.<\/div>\n<div>Mr. York, clearly uninterested in eating alone, devoured Serenity\u2019s packed lunch in just a few minutes.<\/div>\n<div>He attempted to wash the food container, but Serenity stopped him. \u201cI\u2019ll handle it. You\u2019ve been working all morning. Rest for a bit. Your boss\u2019s office is cozy; you can lie down on his sofa. It\u2019s better than hunching over your desk.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Her thoughtfulness gave Zachary a warm feeling inside.<\/div>\n<div>Feeling fatigued, Zachary slumped onto the sofa and quickly fell asleep while Serenity cleaned the lunchbox.<\/div>\n<div>When Serenity returned, she found Zachary asleep. Moving quietly, she approached him and observed his sleeping face.<\/div>\n<div>The handsome man was still charming even in slumber.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity set down the lunchbox and sat beside him, watching him.<\/p>\n<p>sleep.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>This man was arrogant and indifferent, unwilling to waste his breath on her when they first signed away their single lives.<\/div>\n<div>Over time, however, Zachary began to act kindly towards her and engage in conversation. Trust gradually developed between them.<\/div>\n<div>It was said that spending time together was essential for bonding.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity believed in this idea.<\/div>\n<div>While she and Zachary may not have had an overly affectionate relationship, their connection was much better<\/div>\n<div>than when they first began.<\/div>\n<div>At least now, he would show concern for her, and she would reciprocate.<\/div>\n<div>Since he was lost in dreamland, Serenity reached out to gently caress his face, mumbling under her breath, \u201cI remember the first time I touched your face. Your reaction, as if I were a pervert, was priceless. Now I can explore as I please. Teehee.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Her chuckle revealed a sense of smugness.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary would likely challenge Serenity to move her hand lower if he were awake.<\/div>\n<div>But that was only if he was conscious.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity would probably retort that she had no \u2018balls\u2019 since she was a girl.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cZachary.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>She leaned closer to his ear, whispering, \u201cWe\u2019re getting along just fine now. How about we consider staying like this forever and avoid the divorce route?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Unfortunately, Zachary was too deep in slumber to hear her.<\/div>\n<div>Otherwise, he would have been thrilled.<\/div>\n<div>If he had known her thoughts, Zachary wouldn\u2019t have sneaked around to take the contract and eliminate the evidence.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI\u2019ll wait until the end of the contract term.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity felt they hadn\u2019t spent enough time together to make a lifelong commitment.<\/div>\n<div>The written contract\u2026<\/div>\n<div>It suddenly hit Serenity where she had placed the document\u2026.<\/div>\n<div>To Serenity, the contract was inconsequential as it was a<\/p>\n<p>From the beginning, it was a marriage of convenience. Therefore, she did not set aside the paperwork.
