Chapter 126
Zachary was in dismay. However, on second thought, Callum recommending Serenity‘s handicrafts would only mean more money for Serenity. Since Serenity was his wife, he could still reap some benefits from it. With this in mind, Zachary no longer felt too depressed about it.
When Serenity finished cooking, she brought all of the dishes and placed them on the table.
The couple took their seats and had dinner together.
Zachary was in a good mood and ate with much gusto.
He had to admit that Serenity had great cooking skills and he was blessed to have her.
After the meal, Serenity washed the dishes and picked up the bag of clothes from the couch. She retrieved the clothes from the bag and handed them to Zachary. “Mr. York, try these two sets of clothes and see if they fit?
“You‘ve been of great help to me, so I think treating you to a meal isn‘t enough. That‘s why I bought you two sets of new clothes and ties to match. They‘re all in black, your favorite color.”
Zachary had guessed long ago that these were for him, but he did not show it. He took over the clothes trom Serenity and asked while looking at her, “How do you
know what my size is?”
“I asked Nana.”
Zachary left it at that.
“Do you want to try it on?”
“No, they‘ll fit.”
Serenity chose the color he liked.
“Just ask me next time if you‘re unsure what to buy.”
Zachary thought to himself, ‘Don‘t ask Nana. If she finds out, who knows what kind of tricks she‘ll pull behind my
back?‘
“You‘re busy with work, so I don‘t want to bother you,” Serenity replied.
Zachary was without a word.
He was busy and did not like her asking him about menial things.
“Mr. York, it‘s still early, so let‘s go for a walk. Speaking of which, I haven‘t walked around the neighborhood yet after moving here for a while.”
Zachary hesitated before agreeing to her suggestion. He was also not familiar with Brynfield.
His housekeeper was the one who helped him buy this unit in the first place.
Then, for the first time, the couple went out for a walk together.
Zachary was calm in nature and a man of few words. Moreover, they were not like other couples who married for love. When they went downstairs for a stroll around the neighborhood , neither of them spoke after walking for a while.
After what seemed like a long time, Serenity found a topic to talk about and asked, “Mr. York, how far is your hometown from the city?”
Serenity had not been to Zachary‘s hometown , but she heard from Grandma May that they lived in the suburbs.
Since they signed the agreement, Serenity was mentally prepared for a divorce at any time. Thus, she did not care much about her husband‘s hometown and did not bother to visit.
It was just too awkward to keep walking in silence, so she thought of this topic to kill time.
“With smooth traffic, it‘ll take less than an hour by car. It‘s not far, but it‘s not that close either.”
The Yorks also owned many villas in major high–end neighborhoods in the city. They had houses everywhere.
They would only go back to the main residence on occasion
“Nana mentioned that your family also has farmland that grows a lot of crops.”
“Yeah,” Zachary hummed. That was true.
Serenity did not probe further knowing that what Grandma May said was the truth. The Yorks were just ordinary farmers. Thus, Serenity knew that she did not marry up the social ladder because she and Zachary stood in the same social class.
