NovelEnglishChapter 504
“My breakfast’s probably not warm anymore. I’ll go heat it up in the kitchen. Elisa, you‘re a regular here.
Please keep Mrs. Stone entertained.”
Elisa replied with a smile, “Don‘t worry. My mom and I won’t be strangers. Your shop is home to me.”
Serenity thought to herself, ‘My shop is not up to your standard with the wealth your family owns.
She took the breakfast packed by Zachary to the kitchen and heated it up before enjoying her meal in
the kitchen.
Zachary made her hot cocoa. Thanks to the insulated cup, the drink was still warm.
Her arms and legs were feeling cold since the weather turned chilly, and her Aunt
Flo came to visit as well. Cupping the insulated cup, Serenity felt the warmth in her belly after
taking a sip of hot cocoa.
Ring, ring, ring…
Her phone rang.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile sipping on her hot cocoa, she pulled out her phone for a look. It was Zachary. She took the call.
“Are you at the shop?”
Zachary looked at the time before calling.
“Yes, I‘m at the shop.”
“What are you eating?”
“The breakfast you lovingly packed me this morning. I‘m now drinking the hot cocoa
you made me. The cocoa tastes nice and light, and the hint of cinnamon really brings out the sweetnes
s.”
Zachary told her off, “What time is it, and you‘re only having your breakfast now?”
“I wouldn‘t have to take my breakfast now if a certain petty fool didn‘t just turn around and run away.”
Zachary commented, “That‘s on me. I promise I won‘t do that again.”
“Don‘t give me any promises. That‘s just how you are. You can’t change that.”
Serenity added with a giggle. “I don’t want the whole thing to blow up in your face again. You have a
good-looking face. It wouldn’t be nice for it to be covered in smut after having things
blown up in your face.”
Zachary was speechless.
Other than Nana, Serenity was the only one who would embarrass him.
“Are you coming over for lunch? I might not have time to make lunch though. I probably might eat out.”
She intended to treat Elisa and Mrs. Stone to lunch.
“Is Ms. Stone at your shop?”
“Yeah. I’m going to buy them lunch later. Elisa has been a huge help to me.”
Zachary grumbled in his mind. ‘I helped you a lot too, but you never treat me to a meal.‘
Still, he said, “I’ll wire you some money. Take them to a hotel for lunch. I can’t get away from work this a
fternoon, so I’m not going over.”
Serenity responded with a grin, “I have money. Don’t wire me any. Don’t worry. I may be stingy, but I wo
n’t take someone like Mrs. Stone to a food truck.”
She was not stingy anyway. Instead, Serenity was good with her
money, spending on the necessities only.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSerenity and Zachary were living the good life now, but that was because they did not have a child toge
ther. Once a baby came along, it would take a huge hit on their money and that could burn a hole in the
ir pockets.
“Achoo!”
Serenity sneezed.
Having caught that on the call, Zachary felt bad and blamed himself for it. “You must have caught a col
d since you got out of the car without a coat. It was pouring and windy earlier.”
“I’m fine. I sneezed because you missed me.
“Don’t forget. I’m drinking the hot cocoa you made me.”
Zachary grinned. “Okay. I miss you. I really miss you. I guess you don’t miss me since I didn’t sneeze.”
Serenity opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
She started it by saying the
sneeze meant that he missed her. Now, he was trying to get back at her by making her say that she mi
ssed him too.
Well, he got another thing coming if he expected her to say it out loud.
