Chapter 259
Zachary saw that Serenity’s attention was entirely focused on her phone and had the impulse to snatch her phone away.
The good thing was he had great self–control, so he did not actually do that, lest the relationship deteriorated again.
He walked closer, stood in front of Serenity, and said in his deep voice, “Honey.”
Bam!
Serenity was so shocked by him calling her “honey” that she dropped her phone on the floor.
She quickly bent over to pick her phone up. When she saw that her phone screen cracked really badly, she immediately said in dismay, “My phone case cost a hundred bucks.”
Zachary took the phone from her and had a look at it. Yeah, it was broken pretty badly. When he heard her words of dismay about the phone case, he said, “I’ll buy you ten in compensation.”
“You should buy a few more for me. I’m worried I’ll drop my phone case and break. them multiple times when you lose your marbles and call me ‘honey‘.”
The corner of Zachary’s mouth spasmed. He looked at her in silence for a moment. before saying gravely, “Serenity, we’re still husband and wife.”
It was a hundred percent normal and completely justified of him to call her “honey“.
Serenity took her phone from his hands and asked him bemusedly, “Tell me, what else do you want to say? I think you’d better go back to calling me by my name from now on. I’m not used to calling you
‘babe‘, and I’m not used to you calling me ‘honey‘ either.”
“I’m sorry.”
Zachary’s expression was serious. He thought his expression must have looked apologetic.
However in Serenity’s eyes, he looked so serious he resembled the head teacher in school, someone the students would take a detour to avoid running into.
That was wrong
“That night, I was a bit impulsive and I did some bad things to you. me, so I’m sorry.”
Serenity just looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Who knew that after those two sentences, he would just look at her? There was no continuation thereafter.
of
This was his apology for molesting her. He did not apologize for his misunderstanding of her and Shawn.
“There’s nothing between Shawn and I.”
Serenity had explained herself long ago, but still explained it once more. “I really don’t have any romantic feelings for him. I treated him to a meal to thank him for helping me. There wasn’t anything else to it. And anyway, it’s written in the agreement that we won’t interfere in each other’s private life.”
She hadn’t interfered in his private life.
Zachary was speechless.
Once more, he regretted making her sign that agreement in the beginning. It had not. tied her down at all but instead had become a burden he could not get rid of.
“Also, Jasmine was worried you thought she was trying to help matchmake me and Shawn, so she asked me to make sure I explained it to you clearly that neither I nor Jasmine has ever thought of setting me up with Shawn.”
Zachary now truly believed Serenity had no romantic feelings for Shawn at all. He pursed his lips and asked, “Shawn has a crush on you, don’t you know?”
Serenity was stunned.
Shawn had a crush on her?
That could not be possible… could it?
She was older than Shawn by three years.
“O–other than the day you saw Shawn and I eating lunch together, when else have your met him? How do you know he has a crush on me? Did he tell you that?”
Zachary propped his hands on the counter and leaned across it, his handsome face suddenly approaching Serenity’s face closely.
Serenity looked at him, blinking her big eyes.
This iceberg really is handsome.
Every time she saw his face in close proximity, Serenity had the urge to touch his face.
She had tasted those thin lips of his before. She had to say, his temperament was cold. and aloof by nature, but when he kissed her, he was truly passionate; his passion as fiery as a burning flame, almost seeming as if he wanted to melt her whole being.
“Look at my gaze,” Zachary commanded in a low voice.
Serenity looked at him. What was in his gaze?
There were his eyeballs.
“Do you see it?”
“I see your eyeballs.”
The corner of Zachary’s mouth twitched.
“What do you want me to see? I see your eyes are very big too. They’re very nice, just like your face. Mr. York, you really are blessed by the heavens. You have all the merits of a man’s appearance.”
Serenity could not resist teasing Zachary.
She ambushed his face with both her hands, pinching his cheeks, and said, “You’re always making such a stiff expression. I thought your face would be as hard as marble, but pinching it now, your face feels quite soft. I heard that people with soft facial muscles have a good temper. You have such a bad temper, but your face still feels soft when I pinch it.”
