Chapter 1278


    “It’s nearly time for lunch. I don’t suppose your kitchen is ready yet. Do you want to join us?”


    Remy was quite at home at the Stones‘ residence since he had the pleasure of dining there a few


    times. He said, “My kitchen is still under renovation, so I don’t have any cooking facilities yet. There will


    be a lot of people dining in the hotel at this hour. I don’t think I can get a private dining room for myself.


    I’d love to have lunch at your ce.”


    With a smile, Elisa weed him into the house.


    As for Zachary and his wife, Elisa needed not to attend to them.


    Standing next to Zachary, Serenity stared at the backs of Elisa and Remy before telling her man,” They


    look good together.”


    Zachary only had his eyes on Serenity. Following herment, he took a quick nce at the pair and


    faintly uttered, “They do.”


    “It’s obvious that Mr. Johnson has the hots for Elisa, but he’s not being truthful to her about his feelings.


    Zachary–uh, I mean–Babe, can you try and put out feelers with Mr. Johnson?”


    Serenity was most eager for Elisa to start dating again.


    She could not shake the guilt that she stole Elisa’s love every time she and Zachary appeared before


    Elisa.


    Elisa was really into Zachary.


    Able to read his wife’s mind, Zachary held Serenity’s hand and interlocked fingers with her as they


    walked out of the gazebo. He replied, “Sure, I’ll try and get something out of Mr. Johnson. I’ll encourage


    him to go after Elisa if he’s romantically interested in her.


    “Don’t get wound up in this, Seren. Nothing will ever happen between Elisa and me even if you aren’t in


    the picture. She’s not my type.”


    Serenity refused to admit to it. “I’m not getting wound up. That reminds me, why did youe over? It


    must be exhausting for you to make trips back and forth.”

    The journey from York Corporation to the Stones‘ residence was a lot further than Zachary making his


    way to Wiltspoon Hotel.


    Zachary would have time for a quick afternoon nap if he kept to the same lunchtime routine.


    Now that he was here at the Stones‘ residence, Zachary would have to rush back to the office after


    lunch. He only had time for a quick shuteye in the car.


    “I came because I missed you.”


    Amused, Serenity answered, “We leave home together every morning. Yet, you still miss me.”


    “I miss you every time you’re not with me. I can’t stop thinking about you and can’t be bothered to do


    anything if you go somewhere far away and won’t be home for days.”


    As if Serenity would believe him. Still, his sweet nothings made her feel loved.


    He would only give his everything to his job and work his employees to the core when she was not


    around.


    “Is Clive still being a d*ck?” Zachary sullenly asked.


    “We managed to talk some sense into him. At least he stopped insisting on Alice getting an abortion.


    Aunt Audrey and my sister said that the abortion will only cause more harm to Alice. He didn’t want


    Alice to go through that, so he quit talking about it. I heard from Elisa that he was at it for days.


    “His attitude rubbed Aunt Audrey the wrong way. Pregnancy is hard enough. Men should cherish and


    love their wives who are willing to bear their children.”


    Women did not have it easy during pregnancy. Plus, childbirth could prove fatal. Women were basically


    exchanging their lives for the birth of their babies.


    Stopping in his tracks, Zachary turned his head and looked into Serenity’s eyes with deep affection. “I


    will always love and cherish you, Seren.”


    Serenity grinned. “We have not been married for a year. We’re still in our honeymoon period. Only time


    can tell whether you’re able to cherish me forever.”


    “I will use a lifetime to prove my love to you.”


    Lowering his head, Zachary nted a warm kiss on her forehead. As she closed her eyes to enjoy the


    tender moment, he pulled her into his arms and sealed her lips.


    Nevertheless, he quickly released her from his grip.


    Zachary could not take things too far since they were at the Stones‘ residence.


    Serenity did not share his thick skin.


    “Come on. Let’s have lunch.”


    Free from his hold, Serenity opened her eyes and locked fingers with him once again as they


    approached the magnificent house.
