He returned because his mother was unwell. He took two days off, which combined with the weekend gave him four days to visit her.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHe considered stopping by to see Jas since he was near the bookshop, but he didn\u2019t come specifically for me.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cJas mentioned that Shawn called her beforehand to check if I was at the shop. He only visited when he was certain I wasn\u2019t there. I happened to run into him just as he was leaving. Our conversation lasted no more than five minutes.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHarry and Milo were outside watching. You know your bodyguards will support you if anything happens.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity playfully pinched his face. \u201cOh, you. You\u2019re always so jealous. I\u2019ve told you that I see Shawn as a younger brother. I don\u2019t have any romantic feelings for him.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Taking hold of her hand, Zachary leaned into her palm and gazed deeply into her eyes. In a husky voice, he murmured, \u201cI\u2019m bothered by the fact that you and Shawn have known each other for many years. He spent a lot more time with you than I have. Not to mention, he loved you too.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing we can do about that. I met him first, and we\u2019ve been friends for over a decade. Can you turn back time? If you could, I wouldn\u2019t need to know him; I\u2019d only want you in my life.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>The man often brought up her history with Shawn whenever jealousy surfaced.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary pressed his lips together in silence.<\/div>\n<div>He had no power over time. If he did, he would rewind it and grow up alongside Serenity.<\/div>\n<div>Noticing his lingering discomfort, Serenity softened her tone to soothe him. \u201cShawn has moved on, babe. Shawn\u2026<\/div>\n<p>You may be the first to truly know me, and our friendship has spanned years, but you will be the one who remains with me for the rest of my life. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou could have decades with me if I pass away in my eighties. Isn\u2019t that longer than Shawn?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary replied, \u201cWe\u2019ll live to be a hundred.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He then added, \u201cYou say Shawn\u2019s name so effortlessly.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity responded, \u201cOkay, I won\u2019t refer to him by name. He\u2019s Mr. Lowe to me.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She continued to comfort him, saying, \u201cNow, enough of the jealousy.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust try not to see him again.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, I promise. He\u2019s hardly ever in Wiltspoon anyway.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCall me babe. Always call me babe,\u201d Zachary insisted, clearly enjoying the moment. <\/p>\n<p>Serenity typically referred to him as Zachary or Mr. York, using terms of endearment only when he was upset. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, okay. Babe. You\u2019re a babe. You\u2019re acting like such a baby,\u201d she teased. <\/p>\n<p>Zachary replied, \u201cIt sounds strange coming from you.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m more accustomed to saying your name.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>With a smile, Serenity pulled his head down and kissed his face, then purred, \u201cBabe.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>An electrifying sensation surged through his body. <\/p>\n<p>Now that was something special. <\/p>\n<p>As the tension in his facial muscles eased, Serenity let out a sigh of relief. <\/p>\n<p>The jealous man was finally calmed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen can we go back?\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 1229 Zachary\u2019s heated lips were close enough to brush against Serenity\u2019s cheek if she tilted her head back.
