With nothing else to do, she figured she might as well work on her crafts.<\/div>\n<div>Just as Serenity began her project, a bouquet of flowers appeared in front of her.<\/div>\n<div>Looking up, she met Zachary\u2019s piercing gaze.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou\u2026 Why didn\u2019t you answer your phone? At least respond to your text messages.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Putting her crafting aside, Serenity accepted the bouquet and sighed.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary looked deeply into her eyes and explained, \u201cI\u2019m here now, so I didn\u2019t take the call. I was busy during the day to leave work early today.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Noticing she had finished a miniature tree, he picked up the copper wire creation to examine it.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cDidn\u2019t you hire help? Don\u2019t overwork yourself. You need to take care of your hands.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary set down the miniature tree and took her once-injured hand in his. Although the injury had healed, a scar remained as a reminder of her carelessness. He gently caressed the scar, his eyes reflecting concern.<\/div>\n<div>She had been hurt because of him.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe flowers are fresh.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Not wanting Zachary to feel guilty, Serenity withdrew her arm and changed the subject. \u201cDidn\u2019t Mr. Bucham buy out all the roses from every florist in Wiltspoon?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Since Josh needed a large quantity of flowers for his proposal, Serenity assumed that all the florists in Wiltspoon would be out of roses.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI was late because of these flowers.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity looked at him in disbelief. \u201cDon\u2019t tell me you went home to cut these flowers?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary affectionately tapped her button nose and<\/div>\n<p>gave her scarlet lips a quick pinch before replying, \u201cYou\u2019ve got that wrong. My home is your home. That is our home.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you remember asking Ms. Sox for a truckload of poultry? They were raised in the orchard near the estate and laid plenty of eggs. My mom always said that nothing beats homegrown eggs, so she told me to collect them. She also prepped a few birds for me to take with me.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI stopped by and picked some flowers from the garden.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity replied, \u201cI completely forgot about that\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She had done something foolish when he placed her under house arrest after she discovered his true identity. Serenity had a truckload of poultry dumped near the estate without giving it a second thought. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mom insists that free-range chickens are tastier, so she wanted me to bring you some. It\u2019s just the three of us\u2014Nana included\u2014and I doubt we can eat them all. I\u2019ll give some to Liberty later.\u201d Zachary always remembered to include his sister-in-law when it came to sharing the good stuff. <\/p>\n<p>Serenity appreciated this; he cared for and respected the people who mattered to her. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Bucham proposed to Jas.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary fixed her with a gaze, \u201cAre you envious, honey? I could propose to you in public.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, please. We\u2019re practically an old married couple at this point. We got our marriage license ages ago. I don\u2019t need a proposal.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary paused for a moment before saying, \u201cI\u2019ll give you the grandest wedding so you can be the envy of all women.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m already the envy of all women.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>As they reached the cash register, Zachary wrapped his arms around her from behind. Pressing his chest against her back, he whispered into her ear, unable to conceal the jealousy in his husky voice. \u201cWhy did Shawn come back? What did he say to you? I saw the look in his eyes when he\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>stared at you\u2026 Was it still as passionate as before?\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 1228 Unable to wait any longer, Serenity decided to call Zachary.
