Chapter 583
After breakfast, Zachary transferred fifty thousand to Serenity.
Serenity saw the transaction and said, “I’m not short of money.”
There was sufficient money in the household card he gave her.
“I’ll be away from home on business and don’t know when I’ll be back. The new year is around the
corner so you’ll have to buy some stuff to ring the old year out. I wired fifty thousand to you so you can
get whatever you want.
“On the 28th, we’ll return to my hometown for the New Year’s. There are a lot of rtives, so we’ll need
to deliver an abundance of gifts. Ask Nana what to give and buy them in advance. Tell me if fifty
thousand isn’t enough and I’ll transfer more to you.”
Zachary’s reason was indisputable. Upon hearing his exnation, Serenity had to ept the fifty
thousand.
After so long, this was the first time he mentioned bringing her along to go back to his hometown.
In the past, whenever she met his parents, it was always him who informed his parents and rtives to
come over.
Grandma May’s eyes twinkled when she heard this, but she said nothing and simply smiled.
When Serenity went to the balcony to water the nts, Grandma May picked up Snowball and sat next
to her grandson and whispered, “Where are you staying if you’re bringing Seren back for the New
Year’s?”
Would it be at the old York residence or just a random house?
“Nana, we could still stay at Whitmore Mansion if we clean it up, right?”
Grandma May grinned. “Yes, indeed we could.”
The old York residence that Grandma May was currently residing at was a vi on a mountain built by
her and her husband. It was called Wildridge Manor.
Whitmore Mansion, on the other hand, was an ancestral house that was incredibly quaint and not far
away, with only a ten–minute drive from Wildridge Manor.
Grandma May would bring her children and grandchildren back to Whitmore for old times‘ sake and to
pay respects to their ancestors.
“We’ll stay for a few days during the New Year’s over at Whitmore then.”
Whitmore possessed a richer history aspared to Wildridge even though it was not asrge as the
latter, but most importantly, it would not raise any suspicion in Serenity if she stayed there.
“If that’s your decision, then all right.”
Bringing Serenity to Whitmore Mansion for the New Year’s was not lying to her per se since it really
was one of the York residences.
“I’ll make a call and tell them to clean for a few people to stay for a while and liven up the ce.”
Grandma May was ying along with her grandson. As for whether Serenity would be angryter…
Heh, that would be a headache for him to solve.
Serenity came in from the balcony after she was done watering the nts. She asked Zachary, “Can
we leave now? I’ll take you to the office first.”N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
“No need. You take Nana to pick up Sonny and Mrs. Lane. I’ll drive myself to the office.”
Zachary still had plenty of arrangements to make. It would not be good if Serenity found out about his
little secret now.
Serenity did not insist.
Since there was no need to see him off, she was happy to rx.
“I’ll wait for you downstairs, Seren.”
Grandma May was someone mindful and went ahead to bring the three pets downstairs, leaving some
space for the young couple to be alone.
Zachary got up and walked to Serenity. He reached out to embrace her and took her into his arms. “I
really want to take you with me.”
After a moment of silence, Serenity pushed him away and said, “I can’t help you even if I go be bored
and alone in a strange and unfamiliar city while you’re busy working. I might as well stay at home and
wait for your return,”
She raised her left hand and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll wear the wedding ring.
“I’ll think of you and I’ll be sure to send you a message every night before I go to bed.”
She felt more at ease if they did not interfere with each other’s lives, just like when they first got
married. Now, he was getting clingier by the day.
It was just a business trip, but he was dallying and looked as if he wanted to pack her into his suitcase
to take her with him.
