I believe things will improve for your sister.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>After some contemplation, Serenity replied, \u201cThat\u2019s true. I don\u2019t sense any chemistry between my sister and Mr. Lewis. I suppose whatever happens, happens. As you said, Mr. Lewis is his own person and takes charge of his own life. I trust he\u2019ll make my sister happy if he feels that way about her.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cExactly, whatever will be, will be. We shouldn\u2019t get ahead of ourselves.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary handed her a fresh set of clothes. \u201cGo take a bath.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity accepted the clothes and kissed him on the cheek before heading into the bathroom.<\/div>\n<div>Half an hour later, the couple lay in bed, discussing their day.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHoney, when will you accompany me to social events?\u201d Zachary inquired.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhen do you need a plus-one for those gatherings?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity felt that her trial runs with her aunt at social parties had boosted her confidence. She also credited Zachary for his unwavering support.<\/div>\n<div>Accompanying him to business dinners wouldn\u2019t pose much of a challenge anymore.<\/div>\n<div>At the very least, she wouldn\u2019t freeze up in social situations, and she could walk gracefully in heels.<\/div>\n<div>With Aunt Audrey mentoring Serenity, she learned everything she needed to know. Aunt Audrey generously shared her insights.<\/div>\n<div>Elisa may not have been interested in mastering social etiquette, but as long as she was eager to learn, Aunt Audrey was more than willing to impart her decades of experience.<\/div>\n<div>Mrs. Stone hoped her nieces would grow into strong and independent women.<\/div>\n<div>Elisa was born into privilege, with her father and brothers always supporting her. Therefore, it didn\u2019t matter if she became strong or independent, as no one would challenge her. Nevertheless, Mrs.<\/p>\n<p>Stone\u2019s nieces were in a different situation. These girls needed to establish their place in society to gain respect from others. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have deals to finalize every day. We\u2019ll be caught up with our own tasks during the day, so I won\u2019t take up your time then. I\u2019ll take you to evening social events that I believe are suitable for you.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Some venues where men discussed business were not appropriate for women. <\/p>\n<p>Zachary did not want to take his wife to such places. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright. Just let me know when you need me. It\u2019s time for me to fulfill my responsibilities as Mrs. York.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>With a smile, Zachary lowered his head and kissed her gently, then affectionately said, \u201cI\u2019m sure my wife will excel. Get some rest, darling.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He pulled Serenity into his arms, gave her a firm hug, and then released her. He tenderly added, \u201cI won\u2019t touch you tonight. You can enjoy a good night\u2019s sleep without any worries.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary practiced self-restraint regarding their intimacy, ensuring he wouldn\u2019t go too far. <\/p>\n<p>Last night was the only time he lost control. <\/p>\n<p>He must have frightened her. <\/p>\n<p>Sighing in relief, Serenity sweetly said, \u201cGoodnight, babe.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary brushed his lips against her forehead and replied, \u201cGoodnight, honey. Sweet dreams.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity smiled. <\/p>\n<p>Since the day the couple reconciled with a kiss, Serenity\u2019s reality felt as delightful as her dreams. <\/p>\n<p>The next morning, Duncan went downstairs and was surprised to find his best friend wearing an apron and preparing breakfast in the kitchen. <\/p>\n<p>He teased Zachary, \u201cZachary, you always brag to Josh and me about having a wife, claiming that married men are different because your wife cooks for you every day. You return home to a warm house after a long day at work. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, it can also be quite the opposite.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary turned around and gave Duncan an incredulous look before\u2026<\/p>\n<p>returning to searing his steak.<\/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 1161 Zachary reassured his wife, \u201cDon\u2019t overthink it.
