Chapter 674
Serenity immediately put her arms up in surrender as she exclaimed, “Zachary, don’t talk that way. It doesn’t sound good when you elongate your creaky voice.

Zachary stared at Serenity begrudgingly. It was not like he wanted to do it. He did not know how to act cute anyway.

He whispered, “The last thing I expected was to catch a cold. I didn’t mean to make you worry about me. I didn’t have the appetite since you weren’t here to eat with me. Plus, the piling work and lack of appetite caused me to drop in weight.”
Truth be told, he did not lose any weight.
Nevertheless, he must have slimmed down if his wife said so.
He was what his wife said.
“Who would expect to get sick? You should put on layers. It’s colder here than in Wiltspoon.
