Stuart Hunt was the boss of the family. At this time, he came forward and sized up Zachary. Forcing a smile, he asked politely, “Are you Serenity’s husband? I’m her oldest uncle, Stuart. Hello.”
Zachary glanced at the group of Hunts and said icily, “What are all of you doing here in the middle of the night? Are you trying to frighten my wife to death? I’m warning you, my wife is
timid. She can’t suffer frights like that.”
The Hunts were speechless.
Serenity, timid?
If she was considered timid, there were no brave people left on earth.
Although Serenity knew he was taking her side in front of outsiders, hearing him call her his wife still felt somewhat strange to her.
Hmm. Maybe because theirs was a marriage of convenience and was not the type that involved feelings, they were unable to be as intimate as regular couples were.
