Chapter 193
“Duncan asked us out for lunch tomorrow at our usual spot. That guy always goesback to the same place with us every time! I know the food at Grace’s Diner is delicious, but I wouldn’t bother to go if it wasn’t for Grandma May’s Beans and Cream next door.
At least we can hang out at the cafe.” “We used to go there often.
Duncan is such a nostalgic guy,” Zachary chimed in.
Before they got to their current positions in the company, Zachary was not yet a manager and was still in training.
Even then, he also did not like to reveal his identity, so he would often eat at regular diners with his friends
Beans and Cream was the largestand fanciest care in Wiltspoon.
The clothing stores and restaurants nearby were not exactly low-end either.
That was because low-end stores would not be able to receive the flow of customers coming from Beansand Cream.
The patrons of Beans and Cream were mostly working professionals who liked to treat themselves.
They would often try out other restaurants or buy some clothes nearby Beans and Cream.
Therefore, the bustling street red around Beans and Cream had a range of mid to-high-end stores.
“Are you going?” “Of course, especially since it’s his treat!” Zachary had a rare smile on his face, which showed how great hisfriendship with Josh and Duncan was.
Part of the reason Zachary decided to join Duncan for lunch was because of their friendship.
Another reason was to avoid meeting Serenity at home, which would be too awkward.
“Then I’ll go too.
It’s finally the weekend when I can relax! After lunch, let’s chill at your nana’s cafe andhave a barbecue by the beach at night?” Zachary refused.
He would rather play golf than go for a barbecue.
Josh chattered on for a long time before leaving.
After Josh left, Zachary called his grandma.
“Zack, did Serenity tell you?” “Yes.” Zachary said in a low voice, “Nana, you’re so forgetful at your age, so let me remind you again.
I’ve already fulfilled your wish to marry Serenity, and you promised not to interfere in our relationship after our marriage.”
The old ladywas speechless.
What a hot-tempered punk! If Grandma May did not intervene, how long would she have to wait to get a great granddaughter? Sigh! She was so anxious! Zachary did not care about his grandmother’s reaction and hung up the phone when he finished speaking.
He started to focus on his pile of work after drinking half a cup of coffee.
It was not until late at night that Zachary finished liis work and went home.
When he got home, it was already past one o’clock in the morning, and Serenity was already asleep.
Their big house was quiet with no signs of life as Serenity would say.
Serenity wanted a pet dog, but Zachary really disliked pets.
She was enough for him.
After sitting quietly in the hall for a while, Zachary returned to his room.
The night was silent and uneventful.
The next day, Zachary woke up mid-morning.
Serenity was no longer at home, but she had thoughtfully bought him breakfast and put it on the dining table so he could see it as soon as he cameout of his room.
Zachary walked over and saw a note on the table.
He picked up the note that read, “I’m going to my sister’s house and won’t come back for lunch.
You can sort it out by yoursell.” Zachary crumpled the note into a ball and threw it in the trash can.
It so happened that he was going to have lunch with his friends at noon, so they went their separate ways.
Zachary lifted the lid of the disposable box and saw the breakfast Serenity bought for him – a breakfast burrito.
He did not feel like eating it, so he closed the lid, took the box, and was about to throw it in the trash.
However, he suddenly stopped.
