Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179

Serenity drove to the shop and saw a familiar car parked out the front. It was Shawn.

Shawn came by to deliver food to his cousin again. Instead of breakfast, he brought along some pastries made by his family’s personal chef. His excuse was that the pastries were too much for the family to finish, so he came to share them with his cousin.

Jasmine did not read too much into his excuse as she and Serenity would not say no to food. Plus, Jasmine knew that all the pastries at the Lowes were baked fresh every day.

Since Shawn brought them over, Jasmine helped herself to quite a bit.

Shawn was worried his cousin would finish the pastries before Serenity made it to the shop. Looking out the shop, Shawn asked, “Jas, is Serenity coming today?”

“She will but a little later.” Jasmine answered, unconcerned.

As Jasmine lived rather close to the shop, she usually set up the shop and took care of business in the morning.

Serenity was in charge of watching the shop at night.

“There’s a difference between a married and a single woman. Serenity would often help with the house chores, cooking, and groceries before her brother-in-law nitpicked on her when she was living at her sister’s place. Not much has changed after she’s married. She always keeps herself busy.”

Jasmine peered at her cousin and said with a smile, “Don’t worry about me finishing the pastries. I can eat, but I can’t eat everything all at once. I’ll save some for Serenity.”

With Jasmine reading his mind, Shav ed in embarrassment and replied, “Serenity loves pastries. My family’s chef went to Beans and Cream to pick up a bit of their technique and experimented at home. I think the food tastes better than before.”

“The food at Beans and Cream is indeed delicious.”

Jasmine had been there on a blind date. Although the date was not a success, Jasmine enjoyed a good meal because the pastries were absolutely tasty.

Hearing a car pulling up, Jasmine said to her cousin, “Can you see who’s there?”

“Oh.” Shawn caught Serenity getting out of the car when he walked out. He said with a smile,’ When did you get a car, Serenity?”

“I

“It was bought a while ago, but I haven’t been driving. My sister is off to look for a job today, so she asked me to care for Sonny. I thought it would be safe for Sonny if I took the car instead

of the bike.

“Aren’t you working today, Shawn?”

“Yeah, I am. I dropped by to deliver some pastries the chef baked. You girls can have a little taste. I’m heading off to the office soon. Serenity, about tomorrow’s lunch…”

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to back out from buying you lunch. Be there or be square.”

Tomorrow was Saturday.

She promised to treat Shawn to lunch on Saturday as a thank-you for driving her home and getting her e-bike fixed.

Shawn replied with a grin, “I wasn’t worried that you’d go back on your promise. I was concerned you might be too busy and want to take a rain check, that’s all.”

“Nah.”

Serenity was grabbing the diaper bag when Shawn came up to help her with it.

“Thanks.”

After expressing her gratitude, Serenity reached into the backseat to carry her nephew out. She complimented the little man. “You’re such a good boy, Sonny. You didn’t make a fuss or cry. Let me give you a kiss.”

She then gave her nephew a smooch on the cheek.

Shawn was envious, wondering when he would ever get a kiss from Serenity too.

“Sonny, this is Shawn.”

Serenity taught her nephew Shawn’s name.

“Hello, Shan.” Sonny greeted Shawn with his cutesy voice.
