Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238

“It’s a pair of phoenixes, a male and a female.”
Serenity got up and walked to the big box where she stored her crafts to bring out a delicate and beautiful box. She placed the box in front of Elisa and said, “They’re inside.”
Elisa opened the box and retrieved two well-woven phoenixes from it, and complimented, “They’re so lifelike. Serenity, your hands are amazing. How much are these phoenixes? I’ll buy them.”
“We’re close, and you think of me as a friend, so I’ll just charge you the cost for the materials.”
Elisa placed the two phoenixes back into the box and said,” It’s precisely because we’re friends that I can’t take advantage of you. I’ll pay however much it’s worth. I can’t just pay you for the cost of the materials. I’ve seen the price of your goods on the online store. I don’t remember the exact number, but these two phoenixes seem to cost a few hundred.”
She took out her purse from her Hermès bag and withdrew a small stack of cash. Without even counting, she shoved the bank notes into Serenity’s hands and said, “Keep the change and don’t count the amount. Just take it. If Mr. York accepts my gift, I’ll help you market your products. I guarantee that your sales will increase by several fold.”
“In that case, I’ll thank you in advance.”
Since Elisa was so firm, Serenity did not refuse. She did not find change or count the money, and simply stuffed the small stack of bills into the cashier’s drawer.
“I’ll go and send him the gift now, Serenity. I’ll definitely give you a grand thank-you as my advisor when I successfully court Mr. York.”
Serenity grinned. “Go ahead. I’ll pray for your swift success. All the best!”
Elisa sent a car full of seafood to Serenity and left after buying two phoenixes at a heavy price. Her giving the phoenixes to Zachary would be equivalent to saying she wanted him as a partner.
“Hehe, what a meaningful gift.’
At that thought, Elisa grew even fonder of Serenity. She truly thought of Serenity as her love advisor. Old Mrs. York waited until Elisa left before coming out of the washroom.
Jasmine said, “Grandma May, Serenity and I were going to break down the door if you hadn’t come out now.”
Old Mrs. York was old, so they were afraid she might have fallen inside the washroom. Sometimes, the elderly would fall in the washroom while no one was home, so no one would know about it. It would be too late by the time they were discovered.
Old Mrs. York smiled and brushed the topic aside. “Nana, are you okay?” Serenity asked with concern She thought Old Mrs. York was constipated.

“I’m fine. I just got carried away while watching a video and spent too much time inside.” Serenity and Jasmine were speechless. “Who came just now? I think I heard you guys talking,” Old Mrs. York asked with a curious expression.
“She’s a new friend I made. She went to the beach for a vacation and sent me a lot of seafood now that she’s back. Nana, stay here for lunch. We’ll cook a seafood feast for you.” Elisa sent them an excessive amount of seafood.
Serenity wanted to ask Old Mrs. York to bring some back with her so her in-laws could have a taste as well.
Although she and Zachary were not living together, and she had never been to his old home, Serenity felt she had to offer good food to her in-laws so they remembered her presence. “Sure. I’d stay even if you didn’t ask me. I often eat alone at home, so even the most delicious food doesn’t taste as good. You can make more. I’ll call Zachary and ask him to come over for lunch.”
Serenity opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she merely hummed.
