Chapter 174
Josh would be the first to quit and stay as far away as possible if Zachary were interested in
men.
Problem with his manhood?
Zachary had not fallen head over heels for Serenity. Well, he would show her once he took a fancy to her and consummate the marriage!
It took a while before Zachary got up and made an abrupt exit to his room. He slammed the door behind him.
The loud bang was a reflection of his foul mood.
Serenity waited until he closed his bedroom door before getting up. She picked up the paper, crumpled it into a ball, and tossed it into the bin while mumbling under her breath, “It was a good thing I thought it through. Otherwise, I’d have lost to him.”
The lesson today was not to make a bet before getting full intel on the opponent. There was a risk of things blowing up in her face.
As for her proposal of a wager and her sudden change of heart, Serenity was not concerned at all. It was normal to back out of a deal since they had not signed a contract.
While humming a tune, Serenity turned off the living room lights and returned to her little haven. She sprawled on the bed to play on her phone before washing up and turning in for the night.
The following morning, Serenity rout pproached her window and withdrew the heavy curtains. With the window pushed open, a chill crept into her room. Shivering in the cold, she quickly closed the windows.
By the looks of the gray sky, it was going to rain.
The earlier chill announced the drop in temperature.
