Chapter 504


    “My breakfast’s probably not warm anymore. I’ll go heat it up in the kitchen. Elisa, you‘re a regr here.


    Please keep Mrs. Stone entertained.”


    Elisa replied with a smile, “Don‘t worry. My mom and I won’t be strangers. Your shop is home to me.”


    Serenity thought to herself, ‘My shop is not up to your standard with the wealth your family owns.


    She took the breakfast packed by Zachary to the kitchen and heated it up before enjoying her meal in


    the kitchen.


    Zachary made her hot cocoa. Thanks to the insted cup, the drink was still warm.


    Her arms and legs were feeling cold since the weather turned chilly, and her Aunt Flo came to visit as


    well. Cupping the insted cup, Serenity felt the warmth in her belly after taking a sip of hot cocoa.


    Ring, ring, ring…


    Her phone rang.

    While sipping on her hot cocoa, she pulled out her phone for a look. It was Zachary. She took the call.


    “Are you at the shop?”


    Zachary looked at the time before calling.


    “Yes, I‘m at the shop.”


    “What are you eating?”


    “The breakfast you lovingly packed me this morning. I‘m now drinking the hot cocoa you made me. The


    cocoa tastes nice and light, and the hint of cinnamon really brings out the sweetness.”


    Zachary told her off, “What time is it, and you‘re only having your breakfast now?”


    “I wouldn‘t have to take my breakfast now if a certain petty fool didn‘t just turn around and run away.”


    Zacharymented, “That‘s on me. I promise I won‘t do that again.”


    “Don‘t give me any promises. That‘s just how you are. You can’t change that.”


    Serenity added with a giggle. “I don’t want the whole thing to blow up in your face again. You have a


    good-looking face. It wouldn’t be nice for it to be covered in smut after having things


    blown up in your face.”


    Zachary was speechless.


    Other than Nana, Serenity was the only one who would embarrass him.


    “Are youing over for lunch? I might not have time to make lunch though. I probably might eat out.”


    She intended to treat Elisa and Mrs. Stone to lunch.


    “Is Ms. Stone at your shop?”


    “Yeah. I’m going to buy them lunchter. Elisa has been a huge help to me.”


    Zachary grumbled in his mind. ‘I helped you a lot too, but you never treat me to a meal.‘


    Still, he said, “I’ll wire you some money. Take them to a hotel for lunch. I can’t get away from work this


    afternoon, so I’m not going over.”


    Serenity responded with a grin, “I have money. Don’t wire me any. Don’t worry. I may be stingy, but I


    won’t take someone like Mrs. Stone to a food truck.”


    She was not stingy anyway. Instead, Serenity was good with her money, spending on the necessities


    only.


    Serenity and Zachary were living the good life now, but that was because they did not have a child


    together. Once a baby came along, it would take a huge hit on their money and that could burn a hole


    in their pockets.


    “Achoo!”


    Serenity sneezed.


    Having caught that on the call, Zachary felt bad and med himself for it. “You must have caught a


    cold since you got out of the car without a coat. It was pouring and windy earlier.”


    “I’m fine. I sneezed because you missed me.


    “Don’t forget. I’m drinking the hot cocoa you made me.”


    Zachary grinned. “Okay. I miss you. I really miss you. I guess you don’t miss me since I didn’t


    sneeze.”


    Serenity opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.


    She started it by saying the sneeze meant that he missed her. Now, he was trying to get back at her by


    making her say that she missed him too.


    Well, he got another thinging if he expected her to say it out loud.
