Chapter 259
Zachary saw that Serenity’s attention was entirely focused on her phone and had the impulse to snatch her phone away.
The good thing was he had great self–control, so he did not actually do that, lest the relationship deteriorated again.
He walked closer, stood in front of Serenity, and said in his deep voice, “Honey.”
Bam!
Serenity was so shocked by him calling her “honey” that she dropped her phone on the floor.
She quickly bent over to pick her phone up. When she saw that her phone screen cracked really badly, she immediately said in dismay, “My phone case cost a hundred bucks.”
Zachary took the phone from her and had a look at it. Yeah, it was broken pretty badly. When he heard her words of dismay about the phone case, he said, “I’ll buy you ten in compensation.”
“You should buy a few more for me. I’m worried I’ll drop my phone case and break. them multiple times when you lose your marbles and call me ‘honey‘.”
The corner of Zachary’s mouth spasmed. He looked at her in silence for a moment. before saying gravely, “Serenity, we’re still husband and wife.”
It was a hundred percent normal and completely justified of him to call her “honey“.
Serenity took her phone from his hands and asked him bemusedly, “Tell me, what else do you want to say? I think you’d better go back to calling me by my name from now on. I’m not used to calling you ‘babe‘, and I’m not used to you calling me ‘honey‘ either.”
“I’m sorry.”
Zachary’s expression was serious. He thought his expression must have looked apologetic.
However in Serenity’s eyes, he looked so serious he resembled the head teacher in school, someone the students would take a detour to avoid running into.
That was wrong
“That night, I was a bit impulsive and I did some bad things to you. me, so I’m sorry.”
Serenity just looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Who knew that after those two sentences, he would just look at her? There was no continuation thereafter.
of
This was his apology for molesting her. He did not apologize for his misunderstanding of her and Shawn.
“There’s nothing between Shawn and I.”
Serenity had explained herself long ago, but still explained it once more. “I really don’t have any romantic feelings for him. I treated him to a meal to thank him for helping me. There wasn’t anything else to it. And anyway, it’s written in the agreement that we won’t interfere in each other’s private life.”
