Chapter 257
Despite Zachary having said there was no need to get anything else to eat, Serenity still ordered two freshly cooked dishes and two portions of white rice to go.
After paying for the food, she walked out of the restaurant carrying the packed food and got into her car.
Ring, ring, ring…
Her phone started ringing again.
This time, the call was from Zachary.
Shawn came and went, but Zachary was overly sensitive about it, so he could not resist. making a call to Serenity.
“I’m coming back now,” Serenity immediately said without waiting for Zachary to speak first, and promptly hung up.
Zachary, who was almost immediately hung up on by his wife, looked at his phone in silence for a long while.
He knew Serenity was still mad at him in her heart.
The two of them had not actually made up. Their current situation was only due to Nana’s interference and out of respect for her.
Serenity did indeed return to the bookshop in a jiffy.
“Have the leftovers been heated up? We can eat now.”
Serenity asked Zachary who was seated behind the counter as she walked in, carrying the packed food.
“It’s done.”
Seeing that she had returned, Zachary immediately stood up and walked out from behind the counter. He walked into the kitchen to grab plates and utensils for them and then returned to the kitchen to bring out the heated food.
Serenity placed the packed food on the counter. Zachary saw that there were new dishes. and said, “Did I not say there wasn’t a need to get anything else?”
“I was worried you wouldn’t be used to eating leftovers, so I got two dishes, especially for you. The food from this restaurant is pretty good. When I get takeout, I order it from this restaurant often.”
Hearing that the two dishes were specially ordered for him, Zachary’s gaze on her deepened.
For the pair of husband and wife to get along, he was putting in the effort, and so was
she.
He was changing, bit by bit, and so was she.
