Why that teacher look?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cDo you remember the first time you came to my shop to help? The students wouldn\u2019t even step inside because you were there.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary gently placed his hand on her face, stroking her soft skin with his thumb, a smile gracing his lips. \u201cYou rushed me back to the office. I was furious because you didn\u2019t appreciate my help. You even tried to hurry me along.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>In those days, he had always been uptight, grumpy, and sour-faced around her, acting as if everyone owed him something.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhat are you trying to say, Zachary?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity allowed him to continue brushing his finger across her cheek, relishing the intimate touch.<\/div>\n<div>It felt as though she was a precious gem to him.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThere\u2019s something I\u2019ve kept from you.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary hesitated before saying, \u201cYou have to promise not to get angry with me, Seren, and you can\u2019t take back your word.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity met his gaze, and he held it without flinching.<\/div>\n<div>After a moment of eye contact, Serenity nudged him away to create some distance.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cZachary, are you trying to trick me? You want to\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You expect me to promise I won\u2019t get angry and that I won\u2019t go back on my word before you share what\u2019s going on? What if you\u2019re about to tell me something that will make me explode? Am I supposed to just suck it up and pretend everything is perfect?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me make it clear: I won\u2019t be taking one for the team. I\u2019ll pinch and bite you when I\u2019m mad!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary reached out to hold her, but she slapped his hand away. \u201cDon\u2019t touch me. Tell me what you\u2019ve been hiding, and I\u2019ll decide if it\u2019s a good enough reason to not lash out at you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zachary replied, \u201cUm, I don\u2019t just have the property in Brynfield.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity crossed her arms and asked, \u201cAnd?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also own a villa on the hilltop in Regent Residences. I\u2019ve been living there until we got married. I only purchased the move-in-ready house in Brynfield at the last minute before we signed the papers.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity shot him a glare. Regent Residences? What was the price per square foot for those villas? <\/p>\n<p>She had been monitoring property prices as she calculated how to save for a down payment. Living in a villa was beyond her wildest dreams, so she hadn\u2019t paid much attention to luxury areas. <\/p>\n<p>Pulling out her phone, Serenity checked the online price per square foot in Regent Residences. That\u2019s when she realized it was an exclusive neighborhood, and the residents there were wealthy.<\/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 687 Despite spending every day with Zachary, Serenity found it impossible to kiss her husband, the love of her [&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-12553","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\/12553","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=12553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12553\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
