Chapter 423 Rain poured the whole night and only stopped at first blush. Serenity woke up at her usual time.
Opening her eyes, she had a full front view of Zachary‘s handsome face. Serenity was caught in a daze until last night‘s events entered her mind. She sat up and tried to tiptoe her way out of there.
After much thought, she looked back and stared at Zachary before nudging him. Zachary was lost in dreamland, but it made sense since he survived yesterday by drinking coffee. He took off work today anyway, so he should sleep in.
Although Serenity did not want to disturb Zachary, what she was doing was harassment.
With his aesthetically pleasing face right in front of her, Serenity could not help but steal a few kisses. She murmured to herself, “You have a better – looking face than mine. I would‘ve gotten it on with you if you didn‘t always have a long poker face. I‘ve got to toughen myself before I can canoodle with you.”
It took a few smooches before Serenity remembered the matter at hand. His bedroom was off–limits to her, and she was in here for a chance. While Zachary was asleep, Serenity should steal the contract and get rid of it.
Otherwise, she would always feel the odds were not tipped in her favor since he inadvertently destroyed her copy of the contract.
With that in mind, Serenity secretly rummaged through his room to find the contact while Zachary was in deep sleep. She dared not make a big commotion in case of accidentally waking him.
It was a pity she could not uncover Zachary‘s written agreement despite going to the point of checking under his bed.
There was a safe in his room that she could not open.
“Could it be in the safe?” Serenity murmured. It was only a contract. Yet, he locked it up in the safe.
She was right about him keeping the contract somewhere safe.
Following the fruitless search, Serenity carried her pillow and slipped out while it was still early and everybody was still in bed. She returned to her bedroom and pretended to be in the same bed with Grandma May the entire night.
Nana was no longer snoring.
However, it was already the break of dawn.
After a change of clothes, she brushed her teeth and got ready to go out when Grandma May got up.
