Chapter 278


    Grandma May must have her reasons to take a shine to Serenity.


    Zachary fell silent for a while before replying, “What’s there to see? She has two eyes, a nose, and a


    mouth just like everyone else.”


    “Haha.”


    Duncan burst outughing.


    He got the hint that his best friend had no intentions to let them meet with Serenity.


    Josh probably had met Serenity and knew her well because Josh was nosy and had an information


    network to get all the info on her.


    Duncan left the conversation at that. Knowing that his best friend was busy, he quickly hung up the call.


    Time passed quickly.


    It was soon dead into the night.


    Sitting inside the Rolls Royce, Zachary knitted between his brows as the weariness began to take its


    effect.


    He must be in over his head in thest few days for trying to cram three days of work into one. Of


    course, he was tired.


    “Sir, should I drive to Regent Residences?”


    The chauffeur asked.


    Slumping against the seat, Zachary closed his eyes and took his time to answer the chauffeur.


    Two minutester, he spoke in a gruff voice, “To Brynfield.”


    “Sure.”


    Hearing that, Jim could rx.


    The lives of the bodyguards would be better with Mr. Zachary finally returning to the missus‘ side.


    Although Mr. Zachary did nothing to the bodyguards, the squad had been on tenterhooks, afraid they


    might slip up and get it from Mr. Zachary as Mr. Zachary had not been in the best of moods for the past


    few days.


    Zachary was not on his way back from the office as he had been out at a business dinner. The journey


    home would take some time.

    It took twenty minutes before he arrived at Brynfield.


    Zachary opened the door to the house and was weed by darkness.


    Was Serenity not home yet?


    He turned on the lights and looked at the time. It was eleven o’clock at night. The girl would be home


    soon. It was a good thing he came upstairs quickly, or his cover would be blown if she caught him


    stepping out of the Rolls Royce.


    Zachary had not been home for three days.


    Yet, he had the feeling that he had been away for a long time.


    The silent treatment, the temporary separate living arrangement, and the deleting of contacts felt like a


    long time ago.


    In reality, it had only been three days.


    The silent treatment would have carried on if Nana did not intervene to give Zachary an out.


    There was a maneki–neko and a dragon on the coffee table.


    Those were the crafts Serenity promised him.


    Zachary went over and picked up the maneki–neko. Serenity was


    good with her hands, breathing life into her crafts.


    There was a noise at the door.


    Zachary swiftly put the maneki–neko back on the coffee table, wanting to pretend that he had only


    come out of his bedroom. However, he still had his suit on. Besides, Serenity already had one foot


    inside the house. Hence, Zachary gave up on putting up the front.


    Their gazes met.


    Serenity broke the silence. “Did you juste home, Mr. York?”


    “Yes. I just arrived.”


    Zachary calmly picked up the golden dragon. “When did you finish these products?”


    “I put them out on the night you didn’t return home.”


    Serenity said while approaching him, “Since I’m not allowed in your bedroom, I didn’t put the crafts in


    your room and put them here instead. I was thinking you’d spot the crafts when youe back and


    take them into your room.”
