\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zachary felt a twinge of jealousy toward his grandmother but couldn\u2019t say it aloud.<\/p>\n

It made sense that Grandma got Serenity\u2019s call before him\u2014she was the elder, practically an ancestor, and he had to defer to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you been good, baby?\u201d Zachary asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeventh Brother has someone he likes? Then Grandma can rest easy. She\u2019s been worried about him and Eighth Brother settling down. But if you ask me, there\u2019s no need to stress. When fate arrives, nothing can stop it,\u201d Serenity said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarriage and children happen when the time is right.\u201d<\/p>\n

She chuckled. \u201cIf Grandma hadn\u2019t pressured you, would you have even married me? You\u2019d probably still be single.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary laughed. \u201cThat just means our destiny had arrived. If it had, even if Grandma forced me, I\u2019d marry you. If it hadn\u2019t, no amount of forcing would have worked\u2014not even two years of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026Fair enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was right.<\/p>\n

It was fate.<\/p>\n

\u201cOld Seven is a bit interesting, but I think neither of them fully understands their feelings yet. He might realize it sooner, but Miss Lan probably won\u2019t catch on as quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the way,\u201d Serenity added, \u201cOld Seven\u2019s \u2018enemy\u2019 is Lan Ruoruo, the daughter of the Lan family in Yangcheng.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary said casually, \u201cHer surname or family doesn\u2019t concern me. Once Seventh Brother marries her and she becomes part of our family, then I\u2019ll start paying attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter all, once we\u2019re family, it\u2019s only right to know each other\u2019s names and faces.\u201d
\nSerenity said to him, \u201cYou\u2019re the eldest brother, so you don\u2019t need to worry about your younger brothers as much as Grandma does.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWife, you know I fell for you the moment I laid eyes on you,\u201d Zachary replied. \u201cYou\u2019re the only one in my heart and my eyes. Other women mean nothing to me. Why would I worry about my brothers\u2019 marriages? Honestly, aside from you, I don\u2019t even look at other women.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI really can\u2019t tell who\u2019s good or bad. You\u2019re the eldest sister-in-law\u2014please forgive me for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDarling, enough about others. You\u2019ve been gone so long\u2014did you miss me? I missed you terribly. Ever since you left, I\u2019ve been distracted. Just now in a meeting, my mind was completely on you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serenity laughed. \u201cI just left today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStill, when you\u2019re not by my side, I can\u2019t focus. You\u2019re my emotional anchor. Come back soon, please.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour husband misses you like crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serenity smiled. \u201cWe\u2019ll come back in ten days. If the kids are having too much fun and don\u2019t want to leave just yet, we might stay a few extra days.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust focus on your work for now. Finish anything important. Once we\u2019re back, we\u2019ll let the grandparents look after the kids, and you and I can sneak away to the beach for a few days\u2014just the two of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary immediately understood what \u201ca world for two\u201d meant and felt both excited and slightly disheartened. Ten days or even half a month felt too long to wait.<\/p>\n

\u201cWife, don\u2019t you miss me? Are you really okay waiting that long to come back?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you want the truth or a lie?\u201d she teased.<\/p>\n

Zachary replied, \u201c\u2026Tell me a lie. I know the truth doesn\u2019t favor me. I\u2019d rather hear a lie that makes me feel loved.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI do miss you,\u201d Serenity said playfully, \u201cbut once I\u2019m out having fun, I get caught up in the moment. I only think of you when I have a quiet moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlus, I\u2019ve got two kids to look after\u2014so there\u2019s even less time to miss you.\u201d<\/p>\n
