Chapter 255
Author: Gu Lingfei
Serenity got in her car and sped off.

Zachary watched her go before walking into the bookshop. He took a look at the materials that she had not put away yet. He could not make sense of it, so he turned away and went into the kitchen.

He washed the wok and put a little water in it before placing the leftovers from lunch into the wok, then turned on the gas to heat it up.

Out of boredom, he casually opened the fridge and saw that it was stuffed full of seafood.

They were all given by Elisa Stone.

Elisa Stone was pretty generous to Serenity, even dragging a carful of seafood back for her.

Thinking of how Serenity taught Elisa how to pursue him and that being the reason Elisa gave her so much seafood… and that he’d eaten quite a bit at lunch…

“Serenity? Serenity!”

Shawn Lowe’s cries came from outside.

Zachary immediately turned the fire down to its lowest and speedily ran into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

There was no other reason than for the fact Shawn Lowe had me

    Zachary only came out of the bathroom when he heard Shawn’s footsteps fade into the distance.He was thankful for two things right then and there. One for Nana calling him over, and two for himself resisting his pride and taking the out that Nana offered him. Otherwise, Shawn would have the chance to be alone with Serenity.Shawn walked out of the bookshop, got into his car, and drove away. However, just as he reached a junction, he stopped his car and called Serenity.Serenity quickly picked up his call.“What’s up, Shawn?”“Serenity, are you free later? Around 7:30 pm.”“Why?”Serenity did not say if she was free but instead straightforwardly asked him why.Shawn hesitated before saying, “I have to attend a business reception at Wiltspoon Hotel in a while. I need a female companion. You know me, I don’t have a girlfriend yet, so I wanted to ask for your help to accompany me to the reception.”“Get Jasmine to go with you. I’m not free. My husband’s still waiting in the booksh

    Despite Zachary having said there was no need to get anything else to eat, Serenity still ordered two freshly cooked dishes and two portions of white rice to go.After paying for the food, she walked out of the restaurant carrying the packed food and got into her car.Ring, ring, ring…Her phone started ringing again.This time, the call was from Zachary.Shawn came and went, but Zachary was overly sensitive about it, so he could not resist making a call to Serenity.“I’m coming back now,” Serenity immediately said without waiting for Zachary to speak first, and promptly hung up. Zachary, who was almost immediately hung up on by his wife, looked at his phone in silence for a long while.He knew Serenity was still mad at him in her heart.The two of them had not actually made up. Their current situation was only due to Nana’s interference and out of respect for her.Serenity did indeed return to the bookshop in a jiffy.“Have the leftovers been heated up? We can eat now.”S

    “If you want to, we can take a weekend trip to the seaside too and have seafood freshly caught from the sea.”This was Zachary’s first time suggesting that they take a weekend trip.“It’s already November.”“As long as the sun behaves normally, November in Wiltspoon is still hot, especially during the day. It’s even more suitable to go to the seaside for a holiday then. It won’t be too cold nor will it be too hot.” Serenity rubbed her stomach. “We can talk about this later. I can’t be sure now that I won’t have something else on that weekend.”Zachary gave a hum in response.As he cleared the table and brought the dishes into the kitchen to wash them, he heard his great and mighty wife remind him, “Don’t pour too much dishwashing liquid in and end up filling the sink with bubbles.”Zachary kept a straight face and did not respond.After ten minutes, Zachary was done with the dishes.Having looked in the fridge earlier, he knew there were some fruits in the fridge.He washed

    Zachary saw that Serenity’s attention was entirely focused on her phone and had the impulse to snatch her phone away.The good thing was he had great self-control, so he did not actually do that, lest the relationship deteriorated again.He walked closer, stood in front of Serenity, and said in his deep voice, “Honey.”Bam!Serenity was so shocked by him calling her “honey” that she dropped her phone on the floor.She quickly bent over to pick her phone up. When she saw that her phone screen cracked really badly, she immediately said in dismay, “My phone case cost a hundred bucks.”Zachary took the phone from her and had a look at it. Yeah, it was broken pretty badly. When he heard her words of dismay about the phone case, he said, “I’ll buy you ten in compensation.”“You should buy a few more for me. I’m worried I’ll drop my phone case and break them multiple times when you lose your marbles and call me ‘honey’.”The corner of Zachary’s mouth spasmed. He looked at her in silen

    Zachary was speechless for a moment. “Can’t you see the sincere emotions in my eyes? Shawn looks at you the same way I just looked at you. I’m a man so I understand how other men are. He has a crush on you, and he’s been crushing on you for a very long time.”It was just this silly woman who foolishly thought of him as a younger brother.Shawn did not want to be her younger brother, he wanted to be her man.As for her teasing, Zachary did not stop Serenity from teasing him again and taking advantage of him.“Are there emotions in your eyes? I can only feel killing intent.”Zachary’s expression darkened.His performance had been in vain.Serenity laughed embarrassedly. “Maybe your acting just wasn’t good enough. Any emotion in the eyes has to come from the heart. You don’t love me, so your gaze when you look at me naturally wouldn’t have any emotions then.”Zachary raised his hand.He finally smacked away her mischievous pair of hands.“Mr. York.”“Say it.”“I— Um, I think,

    Zachary’s expression immediately returned to its usual ice-cold state.He walked out from behind the counter with a perfectly calm expression.Serenity stood up straight and smoothed her slightly messy hair. She cursed Zachary a hundred times over in her heart when she saw Zachary act like nothing just happened.Then, she sat down, waiting for the trash to roll in.The only people who would yell at her like that had to be her trashy relatives.Not even a minute had passed when David Hunt and his wife entered in a threatening manner.Following behind them were Serenity’s four aunts and uncles.The corners of Serenity’s mouth rose upward. It looked like they were all in attendance.David Hunt and his wife rushed in and were about to rush toward Serenity who was sitting behind the counter when Zachary blocked their way.Zachary was tall and handsome but was extremely cold and aloof. Just standing there, his body exuded a cold and noble aura that made others feel small in comparis

    Stuart Hunt was speechless.That damned brat Serenity was very hard to deal with. Unexpectedly, the man she married was also just as hard to deal with.Zachary leaned against the counter and put his hands into his pockets.Serenity’s eyes sparkled. Wow! That was so charming of him!Cough, cough. This was not the time to be appreciating handsome men.Serenity hurriedly looked seriously at her uncles and aunts.“So tell me, what were you planning to do with Serenity? Beat her up because you have the numbers? Or were you going to intimidate her and pressure her to fork out a huge sum to pay for your old lady’s medical bills and even pay for your room, gas, and bridge tolls?”“How could we beat her when she’s a barbarian?”Abigail cried in anger. She was here to settle the score with Serenity.After finding out her son Noah had been detained by the police, everyone agreed to first get Noah bailed out before looking for Serenity.However, when they tried to bail Noah out, they wer

    David Hunt was the first to react, and he immediately turned to run after his wife and check on her.“Honey, are you alright?”Abigail was dragged out by Zachary and was pushed down to the ground without pain, but she looked like a wretch and felt like Zachary had held her face down and rubbed it against the ground.“Are you dead? Is this how you act as my husband? You didn’t even stop him when he dragged me out of the shop! You didn’t help me either and just watched him bully me, drag me out, and push me to the ground!”Abigail immediately pushed her husband away and started yelling at him while pointing at him after he helped her up.“After bullying my kid, you’re now bullying me! Is there any reason in this world? God, open your eyes and see. Strike these unfilial and vicious people who are disrespectful to their elders down with thunder!”David Hunt was the youngest of his brothers and sisters and had always been doted on by his parents and older siblings. And after his wife

    Austin replied, “Both Mr. Louis and Mr. Phillip woke up very early, especially Mr. Phillip. He gets up earlier than Mr. Louis every morning. It’s really hard on him, getting up so early in such cold weather.”Sometimes, he himself felt like staying in bed a little longer, reluctant to leave the warm comfort of his blankets.Even after the New Year, Satbury remained quite cold. In contrast, over in Wiltspoon, the temperatures had begun to reach a high of over seventy degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime, with nighttime lows around fifty degrees.The two provinces and cities were simply incomparable. The temperatures in Wiltspoon were just so very comfortable for Satbury locals.Isabella smiled and said, “Phillip is just afraid he’ll get here too late and that you’ll assume he’s not coming over for breakfast, then not prepare any for him. He's such a little foodie.”The house was never short of snacks for the little ones. In fact, any goodies were always reserved for them first.Yet,

    Even when she attended banquets, she would show up in formal clothing. Isabella did not remember the last time she wore a dress. Perhaps it was when she was in third grade. In fact, she liked wearing pretty princessy dresses when she was young. Her mother had told her that.As Isabella was the first child and extremely adorable, Delphine had dolled her up like a princess. Her pretty dresses filled the closet. Her parents, aunts, uncles, and relatives would always gift her many beautiful dresses. As she grew up, perhaps when she was in fourth grade, she stopped wearing dresses. Regardless of who gave her new pieces, she would refuse to wear them and give them to her cousins instead. After everyone realized she disliked dresses, they gradually stopped giving her them. Delphine had asked Isabella why she disliked wearing dresses. Isabella reasoned that she could not walk quickly enough while wearing one. She valued speed and efficiency. Delphine said she had alway

    While the private chefs Ms. Isabella had hired in the past were respectful, they were leaning toward flattery instead of sincere dedication, like how Austin was toward Ms. Isabella.Dominic was experienced. He could sense that Ms. Isabella treated Austin differently. She was also a special existence to Austin. It was normal for young people to be attracted to each other. Initially, Dominic wanted to advise Austin not to even think about dating Ms. Isabella. However, upon discovering that Austin was a young master of a wealthy family, he decided not to interfere. Dominic was glad that he did nothing.Austin returned to the house. Instead of heading straight to the kitchen, he went upstairs. He stopped outside of Isabella’s room and knocked on the door lightly. No response came from within the room. Perhaps Austin was too soft when he knocked. He knocked on the door again with more force and asked, “Are you up yet, Ms. Isabella? It’s time to have breakfast.”Isabella w

    Austin was extremely patient with the boys. Although they occasionally caused trouble, most of them were minor issues. They would never do something they were not allowed to do.After breakfast, Austin brought them their bags. With a boy in each hand, he left the house. It was to prevent the boys from saying he was playing favorites. Dominic was used to that scene. Initially, Austin was simply Ms. Isabella’s private chef. However, he gradually took on more responsibilities.He would take the two young masters to school. If he had time in the evening, he would also fetch them from school. Austin also made sure Louis and Phillip did their homework, supervised their hobby classes, and played with them. Sometimes, he would even teach them martial arts and train with them. Dominic felt Austin was an all-rounder. It seemed like there was nothing Austin could not do. No wonder Ms. Isabella thought highly of Austin. However, Austin was a young master of a wealthy family.

    Louis and Phillip were downstairs having the breakfast Austin had prepared for them. The food was different every morning, and everything was delicious.Having gotten used to Austin’s cooking, Louis and Phillip could no longer stand the food provided in the school. They thought the food there was terrible. Louis was enrolled in an elementary school not far from home. As he was a first grader, he did not need to stay in the dormitories and could have his lunch and dinner at home. Phillip, who was a year younger than him, was still in preschool. He would have breakfast and dinner at home. Actually, the preschool did provide breakfast, but Phillip refused to eat in school and insisted on having breakfast at home. In order to eat the breakfast Austin made, he would get up early in the morning without the adults waking him. After putting on his clothes and washing up, he would head to Louis’s place with his bag. “Austin.”Louis suddenly asked, “Did my sister come back last n

    Isabella had always thought Tati was teasing her. Therefore, she did not take her words seriously. She thought it was completely normal for Austin to treat her well as she was his boss. From Austin’s perspective, she was his source of income. Now that Isabella pondered about it deeper, she realized perhaps Austin did come to Satbury for her. It was not just to be her chef. He always said Grandma May only gave the York lads a year to pursue their fiancées. However, Austin had never left since he started working for Isabella. Even if he did, it was to accompany her on business trips. He was busy feeding and taking care of her every day and had never gone to pursue his so-called fiancée. He did not even try to gather information on her. Was he not anxious?A year would go by pretty quickly. Although it felt like it had not been long since Austin started working for Isabella, three months had passed. Time really flew. Three months had gone by in the blink of an eye. Neve

    When Austin reached the door, he stopped and turned to say, “Ms. Isabella, I only care about my future wife. Other young women are simply strangers to me.“I’m polite to other women when I need to be. If they’re unimportant, I’ll ignore them. Even if that woman is my boss, I won’t cross any lines. If I do, there must be a reason behind it.“Get some rest, Ms. Isabella. You might have a headache when you wake up tomorrow. I’ll prepare a warm honey drink for you in the morning.”After speaking, Austin left. Isabella turned to look at where he last stood. What did his words mean?He said he only cared about his future wife.Aside from this lady, he would not step out of line with any other young woman, even if she were his boss. What did he mean by crossing lines?Was it showing concern? Did he mean that if his boss was a young woman but not his fiancée, he would simply do what was required of him without any personal feelings involved? Was that what he meant?If so, was

    Isabella was cold sometimes, but that was not her true personality. She was a reasonable person. Austin was not worried that he would be mistreated as a live-in son-in-law. “Ms. Isabella.”Isabella looked toward him and waited for him to speak. He asked, “This may be abrupt, but may I ask what your ideal type is?”Isabella was stunned. Why did the question come to her? What was the type of man she liked?‘Someone like Austin,’ she thought. After a moment of silence, she said, “I like men who are capable, responsible, and have correct values. Even if his family isn’t as financially well-off as mine, I don’t mind so long as he’s honest, competent, and sincere about his feelings for me.“Of course, it’ll be great if we have the same social status. That way, we’ll have similar perspectives and more common topics. If we get married, we’ll be joining forces instead of it being a one-way financial aid.”“Although you can accept someone who isn’t from a similar family backgrou

    After a moment of silence, Isabella said, “It’s okay. I know I was forcing it.”There was no point in asking Austin if he did not want to reveal anything. If he wanted to tell her, he would do so without her asking. However, her curiosity spiked with his silence. She was eager to know who his fiancée was. He was already so protective of his fiancée even though he had not met her before. It made Isabella jealous. It was her first time feeling that kind of emotion throughout her life. Although it was not a strong feeling, she still felt it. “You weren’t forcing me to tell you. You were simply curious. Most people have a curious side. It’s only natural for you to be inquisitive as well.”Austin said gently, “It’s not just you. Those who knew that my nana had chosen fiancées for my brothers and me were also curious about who the ladies were.“To be honest, we didn’t even know Nana had been choosing fiancées for us since a few years ago until she handed their pictures to us
