Chapter 1342
“You! Certainly.”
“Doesn’t that make me the matchmaker?”
Josh thought about it and answered, “Yes.”
“I’m giving you my bank details so you can send me a little token of appreciation for matching you two together. Come on, I’m not going to give you money as a wedding gift, I have better things in mind than something as impersonal as money. However, for my part, I would like some money because I am shallow. Consider it a thank–you gesture for my role as the matchmaker.”
Josh was struck speechless.
Serenity had transformed Zachary into a man who kept checks and balances even when it came to his interpersonal relationships.
This banquet continued well into midnight.
In the past, Zachary would only show up for ten to fifteen minutes at most, just as a formality. After that, he would immediately excuse himself. Tonight was an exception. He waited until the banquet was over before leaving with his beloved wife. His actions were a testament to the love and affection he had for his wife.
This also served as a public affirmation of Serenity’s position in the family. The rumors that she was not getting along with her mother–in–law were proven false, and the tales people spun about her having a tense relationship with the family were completely inaccurate.
The Yorks elders doted on her like they were her daughter, and the other members of the family respected her as much as they did Zachary.
The set of jewelry she wore tonight to complement her outfit was a gift from her mother–in–law. Anyone with an eye for jewelry could tell that it was an exotic piece that was worth hundreds of millions–why would Tania even splurge so much on her daughter–in–law if she did not like her?
After tonight, the rumors circulating Wiltspoon about Serenity’s tense relationship with her husband’s family were completely debunked.
Serenity, the one who was at the center of these rumors could hardly be bothered about such talks. It had hardly crossed her mind at all for as far as she was concerned, she was just attending an ordinary banquet with her dear husband.
After Zachary took her into the car, she tilted her body sideways to lean against Zachary and began mumbling, “I’m not drunk…”
Zachary playfully pinched the tip of her well–shaped nose and told her, “Look at you, you’re drinking like you are completely immune to alcohol. If your sister finds out, she’s going to lecture me about not keeping an eye on you again.”
Liberty had once told him to keep an eye on Serenity when she was drinking. She mentioned that Serenity liked drinking but could never hold her alcohol; even a bottle of beer was enough to knock her out.
