Chapter 687


    Even though Serenity had been hanging around Zachary every day, he could not kiss. his wife, the love


    of his life.


    Zachary had trouble keeping it in his pants.


    Now that the ban was lifted, he could not keep his hands off Serenity and demanded kisses.


    A whileter, Serenity rested against his chest and caught up on her breathing.


    “Seren.”


    Serenity lifted her chin to meet him at eye level.


    With Zachary looking rather solemn, Serenity blinked her eyes. That was quite a quick change of


    mood. She asked, “What’s the matter? Why do you have that teacher look?


    “Do you still remember the first time you came to my shop to help? The students didn’t even dare set


    foot into the shop because you were there.”


    Zachary put his hand on her face, caressing his thumb against her soft skin. There was a smile across


    his face. “You rushed me to go back to the office. I was furious because you didn’t appreciate that I was


    trying to help you. You even tried to hurry me along.”


    In the past, he was always stuck–up, grumpy, and sour–faced in her presence. He acted as if


    everybody owed him.


    “What are you trying to say to me, Zachary?”Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Serenity did not stop Zachary from brushing his finger against her face as she enjoyed the intimate


    caresses. It felt as though she was a gem to him.


    “There’s one thing I’ve kept from you.”


    “What’s that?”


    Zachary fell silent before saying, “You must promise that you won’t get angry with me, Seren, and you


    can’t go back on your word.”


    Serenity stared at him, and he did not shy away from her gaze.


    After looking into each other’s eyes, Serenity nudged him away to create a distance


    between them.


    “Zachary, are you trying to trick me? You want me to promise that I won’t get angry and that I won’t go


    back on my word before you tell me what’s up. What if you’re going to tell me something that will make


    me blow up? Am I supposed to suck it up and pretend everything is sunshine and roses?


    “Let me put it out there I won’t take one for the team. I’ll pinch and bite you when I’m mad!”


    Zachary reached out to hold her.


    However, she pped away his hand.


    “Don’t touch me. Tell me what you’ve been hiding from me, and I’ll decide whether it’s enough reason


    not to abuse you.”


    Zachary uttered, “Erm, I don’t just have the property in Brynfield.”


    Folding her arms, Serenity asked, “And?”


    “I have a vi on the hilltop in Regent Residences. I have been living there until we tied the knot. I only


    brought the ready–to–move–in house in Brynfield at thest minute before we signed the papers.”


    Serenity red at him.


    Regent Residences?


    What was the price per square foot of the vis there?


    Serenity had been keeping an eye on property prices as she was doing the math to save for a down


    payment. She would not dream of living in a vi. Hence, Serenity did not pay much attention to the


    luxury areas.


    Pulling out her phone, Serenity checked online for the price per square foot in Regent Residences. It


    was then she realized Regent Residences was an exclusive area, and those living there were loaded.
