Chapter 83


    Chapter 83 – Tilting her head, Serenity stared at Zachary as he met her gaze.


    The couple looked into each other’s eyes. A long whileter, Zachary flicked her forehead. “Don’t look


    at me like that. Are you doubting the authenticity of my words? Serenity, we’ll go to bat for your sister


    so long as she’s in the right.” The York’s held their family values in high regard.


    The husbands and wives had nothing but love for each other. Growing up, Zachary had never


    witnessed a case of domestic violence. Dad said that men who abused their wives were losers! “Mr


    York.” “Yes?” Serenity probed and asked, “I want to lean on your shoulder.” Zachary hesitated “Just for


    a while .


    I won’t cross the line,” Serenity said while her head was a step ahead, leaning forward and finding its


    spot against his shoulder. Serenity could feel his body still ending. Although it was also a strange


    feeling to her, Serenity neededpanionship right now. It felt great to have a shoulder to lean on!


    tensed muscles to rx.


    It took a while for Zachary’s Although he was not fond of the abrupt invasion of his space, Zachary did


    not push her away. The only thing was he did not know where to put his arms. His awkward cement


    amused her. Serenity suddenly reached out to touch his face. Zachary jolted away.

    It was a good thing Serenity braced herself for his reaction . Otherwise , she would have tumbled from


    the swing by his sudden flight. “Serenity!” With a solemn face, Zachary said, “Please keep our


    agreement in mind, and know your ce.” His weighty stance put Serenity in a good mood.


    Slumping against the seat, Serenity unhurriedly sipped on the ss of water while her bright eyes


    seemed to stare into Zachary’s soul. For some reason, her gaze could make him blush. Perhaps


    rosiness had crept onto his face.He could feel the flush “You’re thirty now, Mr.


    York.Have you never been in such close contact with a woman? That’s a pretty exaggerated response


    from me touching your face. People might think I did something to you,” Serenity teased. She thought


    to herself, ‘Grandma York has her reason to push Zachary into marriage.


    Zachary would never find his other half without a push from the family. He would probably still be single


    when he hits eighty.’ LI Nevertheless, it was fascinating to hit on him. A touch on his face brought about


    quite a huge reaction. What if she took it up a notch and kissed him? Zachary’s stare could burn holes


    in her head.


    Serenity was in high spirits to start taking his re seriously. She responded with a smile, “Do you want


    to touch my face to get even? You can do it twice as long.” Zachary winced. He had to admit that he


    behaved rather excessively over a brief skin contact. Zachary was overwhelmed by an unfamiliar


    feeling when she quietly rested against his shoulder.


    However, she caressed his face before he could read into his emotion. For a moment, Zachary thought


    she was going to take the intimacy one step further. Her teasing rubbed Zachary the wrong way, but his


    manners refrained him from engaging in the nonsense with her.


    All he could do was call her names in his mind’ Cheeky girl! “Do you feel better now?” Zachary asked.


    “Yeah. Not bad. I feel a lot better than before.” Zachary ground his teeth and hissed through clenched


    teeth, “You’re taking pleasure in the pain of others.” “Mr. York, that’s a good use of hyperbole.
