Chapter 169


    Chapter 169 It was eleven o‘clock at night by the time Serenity closed the shop.


    She rode her e–bike home. “Drive safe, Serenity.” The female store owner from next door graciously


    said.


    Serenity replied with a smile, “I will.” Watching Serenity‘s receding figure, the female store owner


    muttered, “She‘s such an independent child with a sad past.


    It was a good thing she stood up to her bloodsucking rtives and refused to sumb to their absurd


    demands. “Just watch her.


    Serenity will rise above all the bad.


    Her good fortune is written in the stars, and she‘s bound for sess.


    Things are difficult before they are easy.


    Those who picked on her will be sorry.” The female store owner then nced at her husband and


    pursed her lips.


    “You‘re always into the mystic mumbo jumbo.


    Why don‘t you start a business on fortune telling or something? Why don‘t you give me a reading?


    When will I be rich? “Hurry up and move the stuff into the shop so we can close for the day.


    We should wash up and get some sleep.” It was unlikely that her husband would be an expert at


    reading tarot cards after flipping through a few books on astrology.


    Anyone could be a fortune teller if it were that easy. Serenity reached home at half past eleven at night.


    She opened the door to the house and was weed by darkness.


    Since Zachary was not home yet, she left the door unlocked The huge house was only upied by the


    duo.


    The ce appeared rather deserted as the couple were often at work. Feeling a little hungry, Serenity


    went into the kitchen and opened the fridge to check for existing ingredients.


    In the end, she took out butter, milk, and parmesan cheese to make a nice te of macaroni and


    cheese. Following a rattle at the door, Serenity came out of the kitchen and watched Zachary enter the


    house. “You‘re back, Mr.York.” Zachary turned his head around to look at her and hummed a response.


    After locking the door behind him, he approached her and asked, “Did you just get back?” “Jasmine


    had to leave early, so I was on duty at the shop tonight.


    I usually get home at half–past eleven at night.


    I‘m making mac and cheese for supper.


    Do you want some?” Zachary shook his head.


    “No, thank you.” Food and drinks were served during his social engagement tonight, so he was not


    hungry. Since Zachary did not want supper, Serenity only made a te of mac and cheese for herself.


    Seeing that Zachary quietly sat on the sofa without turning the TV on or looking at his phone, Serenity


    got the impression that he was bothered by something.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    She asked out of concern, “Do you have something on your mind, Mr.York?” “No.” Zachary pulled out


    his phone and put it on the coffee table before standing back up to take off his suit jacket.


    He then stared at Serenity.


    Taking the hint, Serenity put down her te and went to take his suit jacket.


    With a smile, she inquired, “Should I take off the tie for you?” She was happy to be of service to a hunk.


    Zachary‘s silence was his consent.


    Hence, Serenity attentively removed his tie and examined it before saying, “You tie looks familiar.


    Did I buy this for you?“. Zachary murmured to himself, “That took a while.‘ Still, he remained his usual


    nk face and gave a nod. Serenity was surprised as she thought he would not wear the clothes she


    got him.


    It was unexpected of him to wear them to work right away. “Should I wash the jacket and tie for you?”


    “No.


    Just hang them up.


    I‘ll put the washer onter.” The couple had their individual washing machine in their rooms.


    They did their ownundry. After hanging the suit jacket up as told, Serenity went to sit down at the


    dining table.


    She took out her phone to scroll the news while enjoying her mac and cheese. “Is my maneki – neko


    ready?” Zachary asked out of the blue.
