He said, \u201cIt\u2019s late. The pharmacy was closed, so I went to the nearby hospital and had a doctor prescribe you some pills. Take them and go back to bed.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity lifted her chin and gazed at him silently.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>She jumped up and wrapped her arms around his waist, emotionally exclaiming, \u201cYou\u2019re so good to me, Zachary.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>As Zachary held her, he sensed that the cup of cocoa had made her feel better. He affectionately replied, \u201cYou\u2019re my wife. Who else is going to take care of you if not me?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Now that Serenity recognized his kindness, Zachary hoped she wouldn\u2019t abandon him once she discovered that he had lied to her. He wished she would remember his dedication, love, and concern for her.<\/div>\n<div>Nana had advised him to pursue her heart.<\/div>\n<div>Sweet talk was not his forte, and she found it cringe-worthy. Zachary needed to focus on the little details of life and gradually win her heart until she was ready to let him in. Only then could they build a future together.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cZachary.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYes?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cDo you realize what you\u2019re wearing? It\u2019s a dressing gown.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Stunned, Zachary pushed her away and glanced down at his attire. Indeed,<\/div>\n<p>He had his dressing gown on. \u201cYou also wore loafers outside,\u201d she remarked. Zachary glanced down at his feet and realized why his toes had felt so cold while he was out. He had worn his house loafers. Fortunately, he had gone out late at night, so no one had seen him. Otherwise, he would have made headlines in Wiltspoon\u2019s local paper the next day. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was so worried about you that I didn\u2019t even notice what I was wearing when I left,\u201d he said. He guided her to sit back on the bed and took her hands in his. Not feeling the ring, he immediately lifted her hand high. With a frown, he asked, \u201cWhere\u2019s the wedding ring I gave you?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t feel comfortable wearing it at work, so I took it off when I arrived,\u201d she explained. Noticing his displeased expression, Serenity quickly added, \u201cI\u2019ll put it on right away when I get to the shop tomorrow. I promise I won\u2019t take it off again.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told you not to remove it once it was on. You need to show Shawn that you\u2019re married; otherwise, he might think our relationship is unstable and believe he has a chance.\u201d Her gentle hand caressed his face softly, followed by her soothing voice. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Zachary. Please don\u2019t be angry, okay? Frowning too much will give you wrinkles. You\u2019re only a few years older than me; you need to take care of yourself before I end up leaving you for aging faster than I do.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t you dare!\u201d he replied, pulling her close to his chest. He leaned down to kiss her lips passionately as a playful reprimand before releasing her. \u201cI\u2019ll drive you to the shop tomorrow. I won\u2019t leave for work until you put the ring back on. If I ever find you without it, I\u2019ll buy every ring in every jewelry store in town.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWiltspoon and adorn all ten of your fingers to assert my claim over you!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity whispered, \u201cDo you really have that kind of money?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She kept her voice quite soft. <\/p>\n<p>Did he think of himself as the dominant CEO found in fiction? It wasn\u2019t as if he was wealthy enough to purchase all the rings in every jewelry store in Wiltspoon. <\/p>\n<p>Noticing her quiet comments, Zachary made a face at<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 561 Sitting up, Serenity took the cup of hot cocoa and savored each sip.
