Chapter 1116


    The clock struck nine.


    There were two more hours before the event ended.


    Yet, Zachary hade all this way to take his wife home.


    Mr. Jefferson smiled and said, “It’s nice that you dropped by, Mr. York. It’s my mother’s eightieth


    birthday. Can we have the honor of you joining us at the party?”


    Without replying to Mr. Jefferson, Zachary uttered in a low voice, “Jim.”


    Jim stepped forward with a gift in his hands.


    Zachary said, “I’m sorry to bother you. This is a little gift for the birthday girl. I wish nothing but


    happiness and longevity to your mother.”


    Although Zachary did not attend the celebration, he was giving Old Mrs. Jefferson all due respect by


    preparing a gift.


    Jim handed the present to Mr. Jefferson. He epted the gift and thanked Zachary profusely.


    Standing there, Zachary appeared rather dashing. The bouquet looked brilliant under the night light.

    Seeing that Zachary had no intentions ofing in, Mr. Jefferson did not insist and told the maid to


    fetch Serenity.


    Mr. Jefferson did not have to do so as Zachary’s arrival stirred a hugemotion. Serenity, who was


    enjoying the food in a corner, was startled. After finding out that Zachary was here, she put down her


    cutleries and told Elisa that she would check out what was going on.


    “Zachary.”


    Coming out of the corner, Serenity realized that it was Zachary. She called his name and had to stop


    herself from running when it dawned on her that she was wearing killer stilettos.


    Zachary feasted his eyes on her. He had to admit that Serenity was a stunner on those heels. She was


    like a princess, straight out of a fairy tale with her evening gown, light make- up, and jewelry.


    He carried a deadpan face in front of Mr. Jefferson and the others. However, the second his gaze fell


    on Serenity, his tensed facial muscles softened into a smile. Zachary only had eyes for her.


    “Seren.”


    Carrying the bouquet of roses, Zachary brushed past Mr. Jefferson and headed straight to his princess.


    “Why are you here?” Serenity asked.


    Zachary presented her with the flowers and uttered tenderly, “I had the flower bought from Spring


    Blossoms.”


    Serenity would be happy to know that Zachary supported Camryn’s business.


    With Serenity epting the bouquet, he remarked in a husky voice, “I’m here to take you home.”


    Lifting her chin, Serenity looked at him and said with a smile, “It’s early. It’s only nine o’clock.”


    Zachary stared deeply into her eyes without a word.


    Serenity blinked. Her promise to him jumped into mind.


    She was speechless.


    “I need to let Aunt Audrey and Elisa know.”


    Since he was holding her to her word, Serenity had to make it happen.


    Affection was written all over his eyes as he held her hand and brought her to the car. Zachary uttered,


    “We can leave the message with Mr. Jefferson. He’ll ry it to your aunt and cousin.”


    Serenity amusedly and speechlessly stared at him.


    She whispered a promise in his ear the other day, and now he came early to pick her up at the


    Jeffersons’ residence.


    Serenity hoped she would be able to get up in time for work tomorrow.


    “We’re heading off, Mr. Jefferson. Please let Mrs. Stone know that I’m taking Seren home.”


    “Alright.”


    The person who answered was Mrs. Stone.


    Mrs. Stone and a fewdies were standing not too far away as they watched the scene unfold.


    “I got to go, Aunt Audrey.”


    Mrs. Stone showed understanding, nodding her head with a smile.


    Serenity felt embarrassed.


    It was a shame that her man was shameless. As the public watched on, he led her into the car and


    shut the door, stopping the people from prying further.
