Chapter 777
While Josh’s proposal had failed, elsewhere, Zachary and his wife were happily enjoying their
honeymoon phase.
After dinner, Serenity sat on the sofa watching television as Zachary washed the dishes in the kitchen.
A life like this made Serenity feel very fulfilled and also blissful.
After sitting for a moment, she got up and walked to the kitchen. Leaning on the doorway, she watched
Zachary wash the dishes.
“Don’t you want to watch TV anymore?”
Her stare was quickly noticed by Zachary. He turned his head to glance at her before he resumed
washing the dishes.
“I don’t follow any dramas, and I don’t know which ones are good. I didn’t find any that I wanted to
watch after flipping through the channels either. I feel like TV dramas aren’t as good as they used to be.
The special effects are over the top. Maybe I’m just old, but anyway, I can’t bring myself to watch
anything.”
Zachary laughed and said, “You’re so young, but you’re calling yourself old already. You normally come
back late at night too, so where would you have found the time to follow any dramas?”
After a pause, he continued, “I don’t have time to watch TV and I don’t follow dramas either, but I trust
your evaluation.”
“We have a film and television company under our group too. I wonder if you’d enjoy watching dramas
from productions.”
“Forget it. I’m not interested. What if I get addicted to it and just start binging on dramas all day, every
day, and give up on doing anything? I still have a lot of stock I haven’t used. I’m better off utilizing my
time to make handicrafts and earn money than to watch dramas.”
Speaking of work, Serenity suddenly asked Zachary, “Zachary, your mother recommended that I take
some etiquette classes before this. Should I? Does your mom think my conduct and manners aren’t
good enough so that’s why she suggested that I learn some etiquette?”
Zachary arranged the washed dishes neatly and replied, “There’s no such thing. My mother is very
satisfied with you. That day, she even wanted me to help out in the kitchen. She’s biased toward you. If
she didn’t like you, she wouldn’t help you out like that.”
Even if his mother had a bit of dislike for Serenity, it would not affect him whatsoever.He was not a
mommy’s boy.
“My mother felt that you had a pretty good disposition. If you took some etiquette lessons, it would only
improve. There’s no other meaning to it. Of course, you should go only if you want to. Otherwise, no
one would force you to. I think you’re pretty good as you are right now. I like you just the way you are.”
He had tried to change her, but that ended in a cold war between husband and wife.
Mrs. Lane had advised him not to try and change Serenity.
The reason being, the Serenity he liked was exactly the way she was right now. If he really managed to
change Serenity into someone who only revolved around him, put him on a pedestal, and no longer
had any opinions of her own, he would not like Serenity anymore.
Therefore, he gave up on trying to change her and wanted to keep her as she was.
Instead, in order to live a normal life as husband and wife with her, he kept doing things he had never
done before and continuously grew out of his shortcomings.
“I don’t mind taking some lessons, but it’s very hard for me to find the time to do it.”
After having been dragged to upper–class gatherings by Jasmine previously, Serenity knew that her
conduct and manners could not even be compared to those rich young ladies.
In the past, she had not cared, since she would never be part of the upper class in this lifetime. What
was the point in mimicking the behaviors of those rich young ladies then?
After hearing her mother–in–law’s suggestion and seeing that her in–laws were all incredibly well–
mannered, Serenity began to view the issue of etiquette seriously.
“You could take fewer online orders. You’d be able to make the time for etiquette lessons then.”
“So you do want me to take those classes, don’t you?”
