Chapter 1228
Unable to stand the wait, Serenity gave Zachary a call.
The phone was ringing, but Zachary did not pick up.
“Is he really jealous?” she mumbled to herself as she gave up calling him.
She placed her phone on the cash register and sat in silence for a while before taking out her crafting tools. She might as well pick up on crafting since she had nothing to do.
Serenity was only getting to it when a bouquet of flowers appeared before her eyes.
Lifting her chin, Serenity met a pair of beady eyes.
“You… Why didn’t you pick up your phone? You could’ve at least answered your text message.”
Dropping the crafting, Serenity took the bouquet and groaned.
Zachary looked deeply into her eyes and replied, “I’m here now, so I didn’t take the call. I was busy during the day so I could get off work early today.”
Seeing that she had finished a miniature tree, he picked up the copper wire product for a look.
“Didn’t you hire people? Don’t tire yourself out. You need to watch your hands.”
Zachary put down the miniature tree and held her once–injured hand. The injury was no more, but a scar was left behind as evidence of her carelessness. He caressed the scar, reflecting the heartache in his eyes.
She got hurt because of him.
“The flowers are fresh.”
Not wanting Zachary to blame himself further, Serenity withdrew her arm and changed the topic. “Didn’t Mr. Bucham buy out all the roses from every florist in Wiltspoon?”
Since Josh needed to use a lot of flowers for his proposal, Serenity assumed all florists in Wiltspoon would run out of roses.
“I dropped by and cut the bunch of flowers in the garden.”
“Mom said the free–range chickens are tastier, so she wanted me to bring you some. We’re only two people, plus Nana. I doubt we can finish all of them. I’ll give some to Liberty later.” Zachary never forgot to include his sister–in–law for the good stuff.
