Chapter 561
Sitting up, Serenity took the cup of hot cocoa and slowly sipped on it.
She had no idea whether it was Zachary’s care for her or the hot drink working
its magic, but she felt a lot better after the cup of cocoa and another lie-down.
By the time Zachary was back with something to relieve her pain, Serenity was
scrolling the news on her phone.
“Why are you on your phone when you’re sick?”
Zachary drew close and snatched the phone out of her hands before stuffing the
pain-relief medicine into her hands. He said, “It’s late. The pharmacy was
closed. I went to the nearby hospital and got a doctor to prescribe you some
pills. Take some and go back to bed.”
Lifting her chin, Serenity quietly stared at him.
“What’s the matter?”
She jolted up and stood before him, bringing her arms around his waist while
emotionally uttering, You’re so good to me, Zachary.”
As Zachary embraced her, he could guess that she must be feeling better after
a cup of cocoa. He
dotingly remarked, “You’re my wife. Who’s going to be good to you if not me?”
Now that Serenity could see he was good to her, Zachary hoped she would not
dump his sorry *ss when she found out later that he lied to her. Hopefully, she
would look back and think about his dedication, love, and concern for her.
Nana said that he had to go for her heart.
Sweet talk was not his thing. Plus, she cringed at it too. Zachary had to knuckle
down on the tiny details in life and melt her heart bit by bit until she was willing
to open her heart and let him in. Only then, they could have a future together.
“Zachary.”
“Yes?”
“Do you know what you were wearing when you went out? It’s a dressing
gown.”
Dumbstruck, Zachary nudged her away and lowered his gaze to his clothes.
Indeed, he had his dressing
gown on.
“You also wore loafers out.”
Zachary took a look at his feet. No wonder his toes were feeling the chill when
he was out.
