Chapter 490


    The eldest son of the York family had never suffered from such a painful pinch in his life.


    It hurt!


    “Is Nana up?” Serenity asked as she turned over to get out of bed.


    She wanted to slip back into her room before Grandma May woke up.


    “She‘s up.”


    “So early?”


    Serenity, who was ready to run, stopped in her tracks. “Nana will see me if I go out like this.”


    “We‘re husband and wife.”


    Zachary did not like her sneaking around.


    Serenity grinned. “You‘re right, we‘re husband and wife. There‘s nothing to hide. Nana will only be


    happy if she sees us like this. She knows that we‘ve been sleeping in separate rooms since we got


    married and has always urged me to do all sorts of things to you.”


    Zachary looked at her without a word.


    He was also feeling utterly helpless with his nana.


    Of course, he was mostly grateful now. If not for her nagging, he would not have married Serenity.


    “I‘m going back to my room to change. What do you want to eat today? I‘ll cook for you.”


    “I went and got takeout for breakfast, so there’s no need to cook.”


    Serenity took a double take at him and left the room.


    Zachary’s expression darkened. What did those nces mean?


    Was it strange that he got takeouts for her? Would this make the sun rise from the west?


    “Morning, Nana.”


    Serenity went out and greeted the olddy as if nothing had happened.


    “Morning, Serenity.”


    Grandma May looked at her lovingly. “You must be hungry. Zack got up early and braved the cold wind


    and rain to Wiltspoon Hotel and packed breakfast home. He said that you like the food there.”


    Serenity’s heart warmed as she listened. She felt like she was being cherished.


    I’m not picky. He could’ve just packed any breakfast from a nearby restaurant.”


    Grandma Mayughed. “You‘ll get tired of eating those every day. It‘s good to try something different


    asionally. It‘s cold today, so go change your clothes and put on a jacket.”


    Serenity hummed and pretended to be calm as she went back to her room. Once the door was


    closed, she could not help butugh.


    Ring ring ring…


    The phone rang


    Serenity took out her phone, thinking it was her sister calling, but it turned out to be her best friend,


    Jasmine.


    “Jasmine, I‘ll be there soon.”


    Serenity thought Jasmine was urging her to go help out in the store because it was too busy.


    “Seren, I haven‘t gone to the store today. I have a cold. I was dizzy when I woke up in the morning, so I


    took my temperature and found out that I‘m running a high fever. I‘ll have to


    go to the hospitalter. I‘m just giving you a heads–up that you‘ll have to watch the store today.”


    “How did you catch a cold? Did you dress for fashion instead of warmth? It‘s raining today and it feels


    like winter. Wear a few moreyers. The store belongs to us, so it‘s only natural for me to watch it.


    Please don‘t stand on ceremony with me.


    “Quickly get yourself to the hospital. Don‘t drive and ask your brother to send you there.”


    Jasmine hummed in response. “My mom will take me to the hospital, so I won‘t bother my brother. I‘ll


    go see the doctor first.”


    “Okay, take care.”


    “You too. Wear moreyers.”


    After exhorting each other, Jasmine hung up first.


    She could not go to the store today, so Serenity could not dally as usual. She changed her clothes as


    fast as she could and washed up.


    Then, she took the purse she always carried and went out.


    “Nana and Zachary, I‘ll go to the store first. I‘ll bring breakfast there to eat.”

    In one swift series of motions, she walked to the table, picked up her portion of breakfast, stuffed it into


    her bag, and left.


    “Wait, Serenity.” Zachary called out to her.
