I\u2019ll go over and talk to Serenity,\u201d Zachary instructed in a low voice before striding toward her.<\/div>\n<div>The bodyguards wisely refrained from following him.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cDid Mr. York spot someone he knows?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>The clients watched in astonishment as Zachary approached an unfamiliar woman. After all, unless she was family, he typically kept women at least three meters away.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYes, they\u2019re acquaintances,\u201d Josh replied with a smile as he guided the clients toward their cars. <\/div>\n<div>Noticing that Josh wasn\u2019t going to elaborate, they understood their boundaries and stopped asking.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cSeren.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary reached Serenity and adjusted her jacket. \u201cWhat are you doing here? Did you come just to wait for me because you knew I was meeting clients?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>The rain had stopped by noon, but it was still chilly.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity observed the group of men in suits getting into their luxury cars and driving off. She asked with a smile, \u201cAre those your colleagues?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI invited Mrs. Stone and Elisa to have a meal here. I didn\u2019t expect to run into you,\u201d Zachary replied, glancing at the departing cars. \u201cYes, they are my colleagues. Several clients we met today were prominent executives from other companies, and our firm placed great importance on them, which is why many of my colleagues came to meet them.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhere\u2019s Mrs. Stone?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cMr. Stone called her, and she left with Elisa. Zachary, I did a DNA test with Mrs. Stone, and the results will be available in a few days.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary\u2019s dark eyes flickered momentarily, but his expression remained unchanged. He said warmly, \u201cLet\u2019s wait for the results. For now, we\u2019ll act as if\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing happened,\u201d Serenity sighed. \u201cI can\u2019t pretend that nothing has occurred. I was worried Elisa might think I\u2019m trying to climb the social ladder, but everything is very complicated now\u2026 I just wish my mom were still alive.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary reached out and gently embraced her shoulders as they walked toward her car. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though your mom isn\u2019t here anymore, if Mrs. Stone is your aunt, reconnecting with her could be wonderful. It would also provide comfort to Mrs. Stone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The greatest fear when searching for a loved one is discovering that you may be the last surviving member of the family. That realization can be incredibly painful. <\/p>\n<p>Although his mother-in-law had passed away, she had left behind two sisters. If Audrey could reconnect with her nieces, it would help soothe her heart as she searched for her sister. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I feel better now. Are you going to sit in my car?\u201d Serenity asked. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat? Does my wife not want to drive her husband to work?\u201d Zachary replied, his tone unexpectedly flirtatious as he helped her into the car. He leaned in and playfully sniffed her cheek.<\/p>\n<p>Serenity laughed. \u201cSure. Get in, and I\u2019ll take you to work.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll drive,\u201d he said, moving around the car to the driver\u2019s seat. As he fastened his seatbelt, he asked, \u201cWho\u2019s watching the store?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI closed it for the day. The students had their finals over the past two days, and their winter holidays will likely start next week. Once they\u2019re on break, stores like mine that cater to students will need to close early for the New Year.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary inquired, \u201cYour online store won\u2019t close that early for New Year\u2019s, right?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, but even if I temporarily stop shipping, I\u2019ll still be incredibly busy. There are too many orders, and I\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t have enough stock on hand. I plan to take advantage of the New Year\u2019s holiday to knit more, and I\u2019ll be able to ship everything out after the holiday,\u201d she said. Zachary cautioned, \u201cDon\u2019t overwork yourself, especially these days. Avoid sitting for long periods; it can easily strain your back.\u201d Serenity recalled how uncomfortable her waist felt from sitting too long when Aunt Flo visited. His words warmed her heart, and she responded with a hum. Jim, who had been hiding in the hotel, only ventured out when he noticed Zachary leaving with Serenity.<\/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 522 He could still act. \u201cJosh and Callum, you two take the clients back to the company.
