Chapter 108
“You don‘t have to transfer the money for the car.” Zachary changed the subject back to the recent car purchase.
As Serenity did not have Zachary‘s bank account details, she had been sending fifty thousand dollars to his mobile device every day.
However, Zachary had not once accepted the transaction.
The first transaction of fifty thousand dollars had made its way back to Serenity‘s bank account.
“I got you a car, so it‘ll reflect nicely on me. Presentation is important after all. I might be busy with work, but there are occasions I‘d need to bring you to business dinners too. It will be humiliating for me if people find out that my wife rides a malfunctioning e–bike.”
Zachary saw the car as keeping up appearances.
“I thought it was an apology gift,” Serenity retorted.
Zachary replied after a pause, “It works both ways.”
“Well, don‘t give me any more living allowances for the year since you already got me a car.”
Zachary lifted his chin and stared at her without saying yes or no.
Serenity took his silence as his affirmation on the matter. It was a weight off her shoulder as she believed she owed him nothing now.
“Pay no mind to your relatives for now. They might stick to their guns now, but it won‘t last long. They‘ll apologize to you. You and your sister can bring your grandparents to court over your parents‘ house.
You should make them pay half if not all.
“No need to go soft on people who prey on you and walk all over you.”
If Zachary had a choice, he would make the Hunts‘ lives a living hell.
This was Serenity‘s personal business. He could offer suggestions on what to do, but ultimately, it was her choice to make.
“I‘ll go to court to repossess my parents‘ home after Grandmom‘s surgery.” “Okay,” Zachary answered. They were her grandparents after all. Serenity tried to show a bit of leniency as they were still family.
After breakfast, Serenity went into the kitchen and brought out two containers. She said, “Most of the breakfast is untouched, so I‘ll pack it up for you. You can bring it with you to the office and have it when you‘re hungry. We shouldn‘t waste food.”
Zachary pulled a long face as he believed bringing packed lunch to the office was beneath him as the CEO.
“I‘m full. I don‘t need any packed lunch.” “Okay then. I‘ll bring the food to the shop. Jasmine loves my breakfast, and Shawn too. He‘d usually pass by the shop on his way to work. I‘ll text him now to drop by for breakfast on his way to work.” She should never go heavy on making breakfast ever again. Despite knowing that Serenity‘s feelings for Shawn were restricted to friendship, the mention of Shawn still put Zachary in a foul mood. He fell silent for a while before making the sacrifice.” Give me the packed food. Callum‘s working in the same office too. I‘ll bring him some.”
It was better than letting Shawn have it.
“Don‘t make too much food even if it‘s just to thank me. It‘s just the two of us. How many are you trying to feed?” Serenity always had a huge appetite, but she had overdone herself today. She would not be
able to finish all that food alone.
“Callum, is it? Yes. Share the food with him.”
Zachary‘s younger brothers and cousins struck quite an impression with Serenity. It was mainly because they
were charming hunks in their own way.
Who would forget a beautiful face? “Sure,” Zachary responded.
After putting food into the containers , Serenity cleared the table and washed the dishes. She then went to the balcony to water her plants. With the flowers in a beautiful bloom today, Serenity took a bunch of photos as usual and shared them on Facebook.
Zachary was rarely on Facebook, but since having a wife, he would keep an eye on her latest update. Her activity on Facebook would give Zachary an idea of her personality.
He was always the first to check out Serenity‘s post of flowers. However, he would never like her posts because he did not want her to know he had been keeping up with her.
