Chapter 48

The video sent by Nana suddenly came to Zachary‘s mind. Serenity was breathtaking when
she was focused on making her crafts.

Still denying that fact, Zachary watched the video multiple times nonetheless. He was captivated by the
charm exuded by a confident woman at work. It was eye catching.

It was said that women with confidence were the prettiest.

All he saw was confidence in Serenity.

She was a strong and independent woman.

“I‘ve never known and will never know what jealousy is... Oh, you‘re up?”

Zachary was caught off guard by Serenity‘s sudden presence in the living room as she emerged from
the balcony. While still on the line, Callum replied, “I‘m going to bed soon, but I thought of giving you a
call before I turn in for the night.”

Zachary terminated the call. Callum, “...”

Callum, “…”

Wincing his face, Zachary told her off, “The night breeze can be freezing. Careful not to catch a cold.”

“Thank you for your concern.”

Serenity yawned. “I‘m off to bed now, Mr. York.”

Nothing much was mentioned about tonight.

Zachary watched her retreat to her room without a word.

He was unsure if she overheard his conversation with Callum, and if so, how much of it?

Sigh. Now that there was a wife occupying his space, Zachary felt like he had no privacy anymore.



Well, he found out during the next day‘s breakfast of how much Serenity had heard because there was
a dictionary on the table with a page earmarked on the letter J.

Breakfast was avocado and toast.

The couple enjoyed generous servings of avocados and toasts.

They had salad on the side too.

Serenity took out a bottle of dressing from the fridge and added to her toast and salad. She pushed the
bottle toward Zachary. “Do you want some? It‘ll add flavor to your food.”

“No, thanks.”

Zachary turned down the offer.

Serenity put the lid back on and put the bottle of dressing aside. She then grabbed a sheet of paper to
read. “I love a good read during breakfast.”

Zachary kept quiet.

“I got the ‘Word of the Day‘ printed out. Have a look. It‘s interesting.”

Before Zachary had a chance to say anything, Serenity shoved the paper in his face.

She said, “Have a look.”

Zachary stared at her and shifted his gaze onto the paper. Lo and behold, the word of the day was –

“What do you think?”

Zachary blurted.

“Now that you‘ve seen the word, don‘t go around and say you have no clue of its definition. People
would think that you‘re mentally challenged.” Zachary, “...”
