When Zachary heard that, he frowned and wanted to say something, but Serenity continued, “Jasmine and I will compensate Elisa in other ways. We won’t take advantage of her.”Serenity and Jasmine could not stop Elisa from putting those things at the bookstore. If they did not accept it, they could not imagine Elisa’s degree of anger, so they had to accept it first.When Jasmine and Serenity were tidying up earlier, they had a good idea of ​how much those things were worth.In the future, they would find an opportunity to return the favor to Elisa.“It’s not a matter of taking advantage of her. Your store isn’t that spacious. You already have so many bookshelves and storage boxes, yet Ms. Stone keeps stuffing things into your store. It’s not like you can sell them. Isn’t that just taking up unnecessary space?”Actually, Zachary was just annoyed because he did not occupy any space in his wife’s store, and Elisa beat him to it.Zachary thought Elisa was always monopolizing his wife,

Serenity laughed.She suddenly wanted to see Zachary strip dance.Zachary stood up and flicked her forehead and she winced from the pain.“I don’t even know what’s in your head. You’re always so unpredictable.”Serenity put it out there again, “Nana always tells me to jump you, strip you, and sleep with you so she can have a great-granddaughter. I’m still thinking if I should fulfill Nana’s wish.”Zachary flicked her forehead again when he heard this.“Ouch!”It was painful, so Serenity took revenge by pinching his cheeks.“Serenity.”Zachary grabbed both of her hands and looked serious. Serenity’s playfulness vanished abruptly when she met his deep eyes. She said cautiously, “Mr. York, just say what you want to say. Your serious look is scaring me.”“Listen.”“Mhmm, I’m all ears.”“Whether we sleep together or not, it’s our privacy, so we should follow our hearts. Don’t sleep with me just because someone tells you to.”Zachary did not want their first time to be because o

Zachary acted on his idea. He sneaked around Serenity’s room and rummaged through her things like a thief.After searching all the places where Serenity might hide the agreement, Zachary still could not find her copy of the agreement.Where did she put it?Zachary stood in front of the dresser as he stared at it while trying to recall any corners which he might have left out.He had rummaged through all the drawers.Finally, his gaze landed on a piece of paper on the table with a golden hairpin drawn on it.He picked up the paper.Serenity’s drawing was excellent.Why did she draw this golden hairpin?Zachary could not guess Serenity’s intention of drawing a golden hairpin. He flipped it over and saw that it was the agreement he was looking for.Serenity doodled on the reverse side of her agreement.No wonder he could not find the agreement after he ransacked her room.Zachary folded Serenity’s copy of the agreement and stuffed it into his pants pocket. He then walked to th

Liberty knew that she had to take care of her son and could not leave her son home alone at this hour just so she could catch the cheating pair in the act.Liberty was contemplating if she should call her sister.Should she disturb her sister at this time?After hesitating for a while, Liberty felt that it would be beneficial to her to seize this opportunity to capture more evidence of Hank’s adultery.Thus, she called Serenity.Serenity slept so soundly after drinking two bottles of beer that she did not know Zachary carried her upstairs.Liberty called Serenity repeatedly, which forced Serenity to wake up.Serenity took her phone and answered the call without looking at the caller ID.“Hello, who is it…?”“Seren, it’s me, Liberty.”“Liberty, what’s wrong?”Serenity, who was gradually regaining her senses, remembered that Liberty was going to bring up divorce to the scumbag Hank and thought they got into a fight again. Serenity’s sleepiness instantly disappeared. She sudden

Zachary locked the front door and pulled Serenity out. As he walked, he explained, “My friend found out that your brother-in-law is now at Grand Hotel, which is owned by the Stone Group. I work at York Corporation, and the two companies aren’t on good terms with each other. I don’t want people from the Stone Group to recognize me, so I painted half of my face black. No one will be able to recognize me now.”Serenity glanced at the birthmark that he drew.Even when they were in a rush, Zachary could think of this detail, which showed how meticulous he was.No wonder Zachary could be a white-collar executive at York Corporation.Serenity finally believed Grandma May’s praises for Zachary that he was a very attentive man.Of course, Zachary would only be attentive if he cared about someone.“Wash it off with soap water when we come back later.”Serenity ran a bookstore that sold stationeries, so she knew how to clean marker stains on the skin.Zachary wanted to say that she could
