Chapter 17


    “Yeah.”


    Zachary answered in a deep voice.


    Serenity drew close, holding a carrier bag in hand.


    “I bought cranberries. Do you want same?”


    ck in the face, Zachary gave her a dirty look. All she did was eat at the dinner party. Yet, she still


    had room for more.


    She was such a glutton!

    “Cranberries can taste bitter when eaten raw, but there’s a sweet aftertaste thates through. It was


    once the favorite of my most cherished man.”


    Taking the seat next to Zachary, Serenity opened the container of cranberries. Zachary discreetly


    scooted to the side to pull away from her. He did not want his clothes stained.


    “Your most cherished man?”


    “The man on the hundred-dor bill.”


    Zachary, “…” Money to him was a series of numbers in his ount.


    “Do you want to try a bite? It’s tasty. For real. It’s delicious. I can’t get enough of it.”


    “No. Knock yourself out. One more thing. Can you take it to the dining hall? I can’t stand to see the


    furniture stained.”


    Seeing that Zachary was a clean freak, Serenity carried her container away while mumbling to herself,”


    The high wage earners must be very particr over the finer materials in life.”


    Serenity was having a st snacking in the dining room.


    With a grimace, Zachary stared at her back, but who was he to judge?


    To each their own.


    “Mr. York, since you did not workte tonight, can youe home early tomorrow too?”


    From the dining hall, Serenity threw a question at the man.


    Zachary fell silent for a moment before coldly inquiring “What for?”


    The man must be born indifferent as his tone had always been unemotional and t since their first


    encounter.


    Serenity grumbled in her mind. Nevertheless, they were merely roommates under the guise of


    marriage. They could just divorce if things did not work out !


    “I need you to drive me to the market florist tomorrow. I want to buy a few potted nts to put on the


    balcony. It’s more convenient since you have a car.”


    Zachary was without a word.


    “If you can’t get up that early, you can lend me your car I’ll get myself there.”


    What time?”


    After an internal struggle, Zachary asked for the time in the end. He decided to get up early in the


    morning and go with her to the market florist for nts to furnish their balcony.


    “Six o’clock. We can have breakfast before getting the nts. We might as well get a few essentials for


    the house too.”


    Serenity noticed the house was missing a lot of items when she moved in on the first day. She


    suspected that Zachary did not live here prior to her upying the space as there was no hint of life in


    the ce. “Sure.”


    Zachary answered.


    Once Serenity finished her cranberries and came to the living room, Zachary asked, “Why did you


    close shop early tonight?”
