Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2009

Jasmine chuckled.

Her best friend had Zachary wrapped around her finger, but Zachary had Seren wrapped around his too.

It was because the husband and wife had a good relationship. Without love, they could not have influenced one another.

Serenity cleared her throat before picking up Zachary’s call.

“Babe.”

She deliberately made her voice cuter and addressed him.

On the other end of the call, Zachary’s hand trembled. His phone almost dropped to the ground.

He thought he had called the wrong person. After moving his phone away from his ear and taking a look, he verified that he was indeed calling his wife.

He placed the phone by his ear again and asked Serenity with a laugh, “What bad deed have you done that you don’t wish for me to find out? Or did you badmouth me behind my back?”

“Nothing. I just miss you. Did your bones tingle from me calling you like that? Or did you dislike it?”

Zachary smiled and said, “I was startled and thought I dialed the wrong number. You must’ve been badmouthing me behind my back and were interrupted by my call. You called me in such a cute way because you felt guilty. Otherwise, you would’ve just called me Zachary. You usually call me that.”

“No. I really didn’t. What do you want to tell me, babe?”

The guilty Serenity quickly changed the topic and asked Zachary why he called.

“Can’t I call you because I miss you? You’re at the bookstore, right?”

“Yup. I just got here.”

Zachary asked whether Jasmine was present as well. He only got to the point after obtaining a reply. He told Serenity, “Kevin called me just now and told me something. I didn’t want to tell you about it, but I can’t bypass you. I’ll let you know, but you mustn’t meddle in this. Leave it to Aunt Audrey to deal with it.”

“What trouble is it that requires Aunt Audrey to handle it?” Serenity asked out of curiosity.
