Cupid's Arrow hit me hard! novel Chapter 782

Chapter 782

Serenity sat up and picked her phone up. “I’ll watch a movie.”

Zachary took her phone away. Then, he went to his study, picked a book at random, and shoved it into her hands. “Why don’t you read something? It’s easy to fall asleep this way.”

Holding the book he had shoved at her, Serenity looked at the title of the book and blinked. She was not seeing things wrongly, was she? This book was…

She flipped it open to the first page.

Zachary placed her phone on the bedside dresser and turned back around to her. He was taken aback when he glimpsed the contents of the book and instinctively snatched the book away. With slight embarrassment on his handsome face, he said, ” I-I grabbed the wrong thing. Wait for a second–I’ll grab a magazine for you,” he said as he left hastily, book in his hands.

Serenity came out of her stupor and laughed, “Zachary, so this is the sort of person you are.”

Zachary blushed all the way to the tips of his ears.

That book had been given to him by Josh many years ago. He had never flipped through it but had never thrown it away either and was left in his study.

Only when he developed feelings for Serenity that he had gone to read it in secret.

Of course, he never dared let Serenity find out.

A few minutes later, he returned to the bedroom, empty–handed.

Serenity deliberately asked, smiling, “Where’s the magazine you said you were going to grab for me?”

Zachary just looked at her with a burning gaze.

Familiar with that predatory gaze of his, Serenity stopped smiling and hurriedly tucked the blanket higher. She rolled over so her back was facing him and said, “I’m going to sleep. I’m asleep now! Don’t talk to me anymore. If I respond, I’m sleep talking.”

Zachary was at a loss for words.

He sat down by the bed and sensing Serenity’s nervousness, he hugged her from the back and said softly into her ear, “Sleep well. I said I wouldn’t touch you anymore tonight, so I won’t. I’ll let you have a good rest.”

Serenity relaxed with his guarantee. She turned over and faced him. Meeting his still- burning gaze, Serenity could not resist pinching his face and said, “You’re up to something. If you’re not willing to tell me, I won’t ask. When the time comes for when you’re ready to tell me about it, I’ll be all ears then.”
