NovelEnglishChapter 986 Zachary did not have mixed feelings about it.
Sure, Elisa was younger than him by a few years, but she was Serenity’s older cousin, so he should not be awkward about acknowledging Elisa as the older cousin-in-law.
“Yeah, | cto pick Seren up. Did you skip work to chere?” Zachary replied in a husky voice, “I left early after finishing my work. No one will say anything.” Elisa pursed her lips. Zachary was the boss of York Corporation, so whatever he said goes. No one would say anything even if he skipped out on work for a whole month, much less the occasional early dismissals.
“Mr. York is a busy, busy man, but he has nothing to do when Seren is at stake,” Elisa teased.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZachary never had tto meet Elisa in the past. Now Elisa found out that it was not that he did not have the time-he simply was not interested in her.
He would make tfor Elisa no matter how busy Zachary was if he truly liked her.
With that registering in her mind, Elisa saw the light.
Zachary was a brilliant man, but she was no less a woman either. Only, she was not the woman for Zachary.
It did not matter. There were a lot of fish in the sea anyway. One day, she would find the right fish for her.
“Where's Seren?” “She said your stomach has been acting up recently, so she wanted to watch your nutrition intake. She made you an early dinner to deliver to you later, but you showed up here instead. At least she doesn’t have to make the trip. Hang on. I'll call Seren over.
Can't you bring a little something when you visit? | can't believe you cempty-handed. Where are your manners?” Zachary was speechless.
Elisa found it amusing that she stumped Zachary. Only Serenity, who did not care about formalities, could get used to Zachary.
Jasmine got up and went into the kitchen to take over as the cook, so Serenity could attend to Zachary.
“You're finished with work early, Zachary. | have the stew over the stove, but it should be ready soon.” With Serenity emerging from the kitchen, Zachary breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of his wife.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTruth be told, Zachary felt the pressure to get along with Elisa. He was too proud to kiss up to Elisa. At the stime, Zachary did not want to be nasty to Elisa in case the latter would tell on him to Serenity.
“Seren, have a talk with Zachary. I'll get in the kitchen to see if | can help out.” Refusing to be the third wheel, Elisa planned to take cover in the kitchen.
Prior to leaving, she leaned against Serenity’s ear and whispered, “Zachary really loves you. Stop putting up a front and cherish him. You'll becthe happiest woman in Wiltspoon.” Since Zachary quit being awkward around her and acknowledged her as a cousin-in- law, Elisa was glad to put in a good word for him.
Elisa soon turned on her heel and offered her help in the kitchen. Though, an heiress like her could not be of much help. She took up sspace in the kitchen while watching Jasmine and Mrs. Lane make dinner.
Once Elisa was gone, Zachary nervously asked Serenity, “What did she say to you? Is it something bad about me?” Serenity moved a chair over for him to sit down. She went behind the cash register to move her crafting tools aside, clearing the countertop.
“Elisa said that you're a brilliant man. She toldto cherish you. Apparently, I'll regret it if | pass up on you. Don't always assthe worst of Elisa. Honestly, she never said a bad thing about you to me.” Before the couple kissed and made up, Elisa had been advocating for Zachary.
The way Elisa put it, Zachary must be an outstanding man since someone of high standards like her ogled over Zachary for years. Serenity could trust him for the rest of her life.
As for Zachary’s actions of withholding his identity, Elisa told Serenity to stay mad but only for a couple of days as Serenity would regret it someday for taking things too far.
