However, he had second thoughts and re-entered the kitchen.<\/div>\n<div>He was preparing hot cocoa for Serenity.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI thought you made breakfast yourself, but it turns out it was takeout.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>A teasing voice chimed in, and Zachary didn\u2019t need to turn around to know it was his nana; he chose to remain silent.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhat are you making? It smells sweet and chocolaty.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Grandma May entered the kitchen, uncovered the saucepan, and took a peek.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI thought you were making progress.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>The old woman muttered, casting a disdainful glance at her grandson before walking away.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary\u2019s handsome face tightened. He couldn\u2019t help but defend himself, saying, \u201cI tried very hard.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>He had an opportunity last night, but fate had other plans.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou need to pursue the heart first. Didn\u2019t you notice that all of Serenity\u2019s ten fingers are still bare?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary was at a loss for words.<\/div>\n<div>He had genuinely tried to win her heart.<\/div>\n<div>Long ago, he bought two wedding bands and even wore his ring multiple times, but that was merely to encourage Elisa to move on from him.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity\u2019s ring remained with him, as he had yet to give it to her.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI have a pair of diamond rings that your grandfather bought while he was still alive. We were meant to wear them as a couple, but your grandfather purchased far too many. I can\u2019t wear them all, so I left some in the jewelry vault.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThey\u2019ll just take up space if I leave them there, so I\u2019ll give them to you. Do whatever you wish with them.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Grandma May\u2019s jewelry vault was filled with treasures. The diamond ring she always wore was her wedding ring. Although her husband had gifted her many more diamond rings over the years, she still preferred the one she wore on her wedding day.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThank you, Nana.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary knew that the jewelry in his grandmother\u2019s vault surpassed anything found in jewelry stores, as many of the pieces were antique treasures.<\/div>\n<div>Every husband and wife from his parents\u2019 generation received a pair of diamond rings from Nana.<\/div>\n<div>Now, it was the grandchildren\u2019s turn, and he was the first to be gifted a diamond ring by his grandmother.<\/div>\n<div>He hoped to use the diamond ring she presented to him to win Serenity\u2019s heart for a lifetime.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cLearn to express sweet words. Everyone enjoys hearing kind things. Don\u2019t keep that tense expression; it will make Serenity feel like she owes you a fortune.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary was left speechless.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI\u2019m already old, yet I still worry about your marriage. You\u2019ll disappoint me if you don\u2019t make me a great-grandmother by next year.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cEven your grandfather found your marriage a headache when he was alive.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary felt exasperated and thought, \u2018Am I really that difficult?\u2019<\/div>\n<div>\u201cIt\u2019s quite cold today.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Grandma May walked to the balcony and shivered in the chilly wind. She quickly retreated inside. \u201cIt finally feels like winter in Wiltspoon.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary chose not to respond.<\/div>\n<div>When the hot cocoa was ready, he emerged from the kitchen and headed to his room.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity had just awakened but remained in bed with a blank expression.<\/div>\n<div>A large<\/p>\n<p>A slightly cold hand touched her face, giving it a gentle pinch. In his low voice, Zachary asked, \u201cWhy are you spacing out?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity took his hand and pinched the back of it firmly. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSerenity!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He exclaimed, his voice low and startled. <\/p>\n<p>She squeezed harder. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoes it hurt?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you think I\u2019m an iron wall that can\u2019t feel pain?\u201d he replied. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I thought I was dreaming, so I pinched you. Now that I\u2019ve heard your cry of pain, I believe this is reality. I slept in your bed again last night.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary was left speechless. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018If she suspected she was dreaming, why didn\u2019t she pinch herself instead? She\u2019ll only know she\u2019s not dreaming if she feels the pain herself. Why pinch me so hard?\u2019<\/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 489 Zachary took the breakfast that Jim packed and set it on the dining table.
