Chapter 712


    Since no children were in the picture yet, the couple could enjoy the finer things in life.


    The expenses would be costly when the family grew. It would take a lot of money to raise


    children.


    “I have an ie, and I’m part of the family. I’ll pay for some of the household expenses. Save some


    money and clear the mortgage early if you can. At least then. you’ll have spare cash once the house


    loan is out of the way.”


    Serenity did not propose chipping in on the mortgage.


    Zachary bought the vi before they were married, and he was still paying the mortgage like Hank.


    Even though Serenity and Zachary were no longer married in name and could not be in a better ce


    in their marriage, Serenity did not want to end up on the same path as her sister. It was his house, and


    she would not covet it nor help with the mortgage.


    What if she and Zachary were not meant to be? The divorce would be ugly with the division of assets


    and quarrels.


    It was better to keep their assets apart right from the start.


    Propping his chin on her shoulder, Zachary affectionately said, “Don’t worry about the mortgage, Seren.


    Although I don’t have a lot in savings, I can manage the payments. Besides, New Year ising. I’ll


    get a year–end bonus. The bonus is pretty good for senior executives.


    “I told you when I married you that I will provide for you. I won’t go halves with you.


    “Although I’m still paying for the vi, I put down a hefty sum for the down payment. The mortgage fee


    isn’t too bad. Don’t forget that your husband makes millions a year.”


    Serenity pried open his hand over her and turned around to face him squarely. She said, “So long as


    you know what you’re doing.”


    Being in the high–ie bracket, Zachary was used to dining at high–end restaurants and paying the


    premium price for things.


    She had pointed it out to him. It was not her ce to speak more on the matter if he did not want to


    listen.


    “I’m going back to our house in Brynfield when you get to workter. I’m morefortable living there.


    It’s much more essible.”


    While the environment here was better, the vi was far from the ces she hung out.


    With a smile, Zachary replied, “Both ces are our home. We can live in Brynfield if you prefer there.


    We can take short breaks over the weekend or festive holidays. here.”


    “Okay,” Serenity answered. It was a waste to get a vi if it was only for a short stay.


    Zachary probably would not buy a property in Brynfield if it were not for their whirlwind marriage.


    Ultimately, he kept the vi from her because he suspected that she was a conniving gold digger.


    Zachary thought twice before letting her know that he brought home millions in ie.


    Serenity had not once asked about his sry since they tied the knot.


    “What are your ns today?”


    Zachary drew a chair back for her to sit down. He then took a seat next to her.


    “I’m on my leave now. I don’t have much to do other than my crafts, but I intend to visit my sister’s


    rented shop to see what I can do to help.”


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Zachary nodded.


    “Jasmine and I are checking out an Italian ce tonight.”


    Zachary said, “I’m not free tonight.”


    “I didn’t say I’m taking you.”


    Zachary was lost for words.


    “Jasmine and I agreed that it’ll only be the two of us. We can eat to our hearts‘ content. She said she’s


    been tagging along to Drake’s dinner appointments while I wasn’t around. She didn’t have enough to


    eat.”


    Zachary buried his head in his breakfast. It got nothing to do with him anyway.
