Serenity was elated that he had the thoughtfulness to do so, but she still rejected the idea.
Just as Zachary was about to anxiously say something, with one arm hugging the flowers, she hooked
her other arm around his neck. She pulled his head lower, leaned in closer and said softly, “Don’t put
too many flowers at home, or else the owner will be easily charmed.”
After she said that, she even patted Zachary’s chest–she was telling him not to be easily charmed by
others.
Zachary was at a loss for words.
Was there such a saying?
He would have to ask Josh about this another day.
Serenity got into his car.
Zachary returned to his car and as he started it, he asked, “How’s Sonny?”
“The swelling hasn’t gone away completely. Last night, he had a fever and cried the whole. night. This
morning, his fever finally went down but he was so tired from crying he only fell. asleep in my sister’s
arms then.”
Serenity’s good mood deflated again once Sonny was mentioned.
“Zachary,”
Serenity looked at him with her head tilted and said, “If, and I’m saying if, in the future we also have
children, no matter what happens or how our relationship has changed, don’t hurt the children, okay?”Zachary immediately stepped on the brake.
He too turned to look at Serenity.
The pair of husband and wife looked each other in the eyes and both could see the seriousness in
each other’s gazes.
He had never said to her that he loved her, but his feelings toward her had seeped into his every
action.
She had never said to him either that she had fallen for him, but she had gradually relied on him.
Both of them knew that their worlds were starting to integrate with each other, little by little.
Zachary reached out his hand and lightly caressed Serenity’s face. He leaned his body over and his
handsome face got closer. When Serenity closed her eyes, light kisses landed on her
forehead, her face, and her lips.
“Serenity, if you treat me sincerely, I will definitely love you back tenfold.”
“I have very little room in my heart. If I let you in, there’s only room for you, and none for anyone else.
Our relationship will never change. If we have children… Then that’s just a continuation of our lives. I’d
rather get hurt myself than ever touch a hair on our children’s
heads.”
Serenity opened her eyes and looked straight into his deep gaze. His eyes were as dark and deep as
an abyss, but yet held a sort of magnetism that attracted her. She could not help but want to jump into
those deep pools and sink into its depths with him.
“Zachary.”“Yeah?”
“I think I’ve fallen for you.”
Zachary chuckled and pecked her lips once more. “I’m a ship that’s heading toward the shore of
happiness. If you’re willing, I’ll welcome you aboard to sail with me.”
Pausing for a moment, he then said, “But it’d be best if you thought about it and figured out if what you
feel for me is love or gratitude. Don’t confuse the two.”
Serenity was silent for a moment before she replied, “You’re right. I should think about it properly.”
Was what she felt for him love or gratitude?
“If there really is only gratitude for you and not love, what then?”
Zachary was struck speechless.
Seeing the way he could not respond to that, she laughed and pushed him away. “You should drive.
Don’t stop here and block others‘ way.”
Zachary sat straight and returned to his usual serious look, as if he was not the very person who had
said those touching words earlier. He started the car again.
Serenity had a feeling that this incident with Sonny and having had the conversation earlier had pulled
the distance between their hearts closer.
Inside the car, the couple did not speak and only the music was heard playing.
As they were making their way to the lobby of Liberty’s place, Zachary suddenly said, “Divorce really
causes a lot of harm to the kids.”Serenity replied, “But there truly isn’t a need to maintain some marriages. If those sorts of marriages
don’t end, it’ll still cause harm to the kids.”
novelbinZachary remained silent.
