Chapter 561
Sitting up, Serenity took the cup of hot cocoa and slowly sipped on it.
She had no idea whether it was Zachary’s care for her or the hot drink working its magic, but she felt a
lot better after the cup of cocoa and another lie-down.
By the time Zachary was back with something to relieve her pain, Serenity was scrolling the news on
her phone.
“Why are you on your phone when you’re sick?”
Zachary drew close and snatched the phone out of her hands before stuffing the pain-relief medicine
into her hands. He said, “It’s late. The pharmacy was
closed. I went to the nearby hospital and got a doctor to prescribe you some pills. Take some and go
back to bed.”
Lifting her chin, Serenity quietly stared at him.
“What’s the matter?”
She jolted up and stood before him, bringing her arms around his waist while emotionally uttering,
You’re so good to me, Zachary.”

dotingly remarked, “You’re my wife. Who’s going to be good to you if not me?”
Now that Serenity could see he was good to her, Zachary hoped she would not dump his sorry *ss
when she found out later that he lied to her. Hopefully, she would look back and think about his
dedication, love, and concern for her.
Nana said that he had to go for her heart.
Sweet talk was not his thing. Plus, she cringed at it too. Zachary had to knuckle down on the tiny
details in life and melt her heart bit by bit until she was willing to open her heart and let him in. Only
then, they could have a future together.
“Zachary.”
“Yes?”
“Do you know what you were wearing when you went out? It’s a dressing gown.”
Dumbstruck, Zachary nudged her away and lowered his gaze to his clothes. Indeed, he had his
dressing
gown on.
“You also wore loafers out.”
Zachary took a look at his feet. No wonder his toes were feeling the chill when he was out.
It turned out that he wore his house loafers out.
It was a good thing that he went out late at night, so no one saw him.
Otherwise, he would hit the headlines in Wiltspoon’s local paper tomorrow.
“I was so concerned about you that I didn’t notice what I was wearing when I went out.”
Zachary held her to sit back on the bed and held her hands. Unable to feel the ring, he immediately
raised her hand up high.
With a scowl, he asked, “Where’s the wedding ring I gave you?”
“I didn’t feel comfortable wearing it while working, so I took it off when I got to work.”
Peering at his grimacing face, Serenity immediately added, “I’ll put it on right away when I get to the
shop tomorrow. I won’t ever take it off again.”
“I told you not to remove it once it was on you. You have to show Shawn that you’re married or he will
always pine after you and never give up. By taking the ring off, he would think that our relationship is
rocky
and that he has a chance.’
Her tender hand loomed up against his face and stroked him gently.

“My bad, Zachary. Don’t be angry, okay? You’ll get wrinkles from frowning constantly. You’re only a few
years older than I am. You should take good care of yourself before I dump you for aging a lot faster
than me.”
“Don’t you dare!”
Clutching her against his chest, he lowered his head to ravish her lips as a punishment before letting
her
“I’ll drive you to the shop tomorrow. I’ll only leave for work when you put the ring back on. If I ever find
you without the ring, I’ll buy all the rings in every jewelry store in Wiltspoon and put them on all ten of
your fingers to declare my entitlement over you!”
Serenity murmured, “Do you have that kind of money?”
She kept her voice pretty low.
Did he fancy himself as the dominant CEO in fiction? It was not like he was loaded to the point he could
buy
all the rings in every jewelry store in Wiltspoon.
Picking up on her mumbles, Zachary made a moue at
her.
