Chapter 19


    “I’m taking a trip back to my hometown after meeting your parents this weekend. I want to chop down a


    few bamboos to make the rails.”


    Zachary replied faintly, “No need, I’ll get someone to install the rails tomorrow.”


    Thedy of the York house wanted to go all the way to her hometown to chop down some bamboo and


    haul them back forundry-airing purposes. The only person who coulde up with this is Serenity.


    “Sure. Thanks.”


    “This is also my home.”


    “Yeah,” Serenity answered before carrying herundry to her bedroom. She pushed open her bedroom


    door before turning around to look at Zachary. “If you want, you can leave your dirty clothes out after


    shower. I’ll wash your clothes when I’m doing myundry.”


    “It’s fine. Thank you. I’ll get someone to deliver two washing machines tomorrow. It’d be easy to have a


    washing machine in each of our bathrooms.”


    “Alright. Tell me how much you pay for the washing machines. I’ll split with you.”


    Serenity could not let him foot the bill for the washing machines too since he had already given her a


    debit card for household expenses.


    Zachary faintly uttered, ‘Two washing machines won’t cost a lot. I can afford a few thousands. Besides,


    they’re white goods for our house.”Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    In case she thought he was horrible with household nning, Zachary added. “I’m usually busy with


    work, so I send my clothes to the dry cleaners. That’s why I didn’t get a washing machine.”


    It was not a question of the incapability of managing a house, but simply because Zachary did not take


    a lot of things into ount, nor is he knowledgeable about quotidian needs. For the past thirty years,


    he had lived in true fashion thefortable life of an heir. Even so, Zachary would do as much as he


    could by himself.


    Theundry though, was something he had never attempted before.


    “Got it.”


    Serenity understood that highly skilled white cors often made do with life due to their busy schedule.


    They did not have time to think about their daily necessities.


    “Get some early rest, Mr. York.”


    Serenity entered her room before shutting and locking the door behind her.


    The sound of the door locking saw a gloom clouding his eyes. He believed she was keeping her guard


    up against him. Nevertheless, Zachary soon realized they were even since he too locked his bedroom


    door and closed the window when he slept at night.


    In a way, they had a good system going on.


    Serenity set her boundaries while he set his. They respected one another and gave each other space


    to breathe.


    Most notably, Serenity never expected him to fulfill his part of the marital duty.


    A momentter, Zachary whipped out his phone to call Sam, the butler. With the call connecting,


    Zachary: solemnly instructed, “Sam, get two washing machines delivered to Brynfield. You can decide


    on the


    brand. Don’t make it too expensive or too cheap.” Sam respectfully heeded the request.


    Zachary hung up and stared at the shut door. He then got up and returned to his room.


    The night passed amid the silence.


    The following morning at six o’clock, Zachary was woken up by a call.


    He grabbed his phone for a look. It was Serenity calling him. Although annoyed, Zachary sucked it up


    and took Serenity’s call.


    “Are you awake, Mr. York? We agreed to get flowers at the florist at six.”


    “I’m up.”


    “I’ll wait for you. If you could hurry up.”


    “Sure.”


    Since he said he would take her there yesterday, Zachary swiftly got up, got dressed, washed up, and


    went out the door despite his sleepiness.


    Serenity was holding a purse, containing her phone, keys, and the debit card given by Zachary. She


    was going to check the ount bnce at the ATMter. She had to buy things within her means after


    all.
