FreeNovelChapter 361
A few moments later, Serenity said, “After listening to what you‘ve said about your colleague, I think
he‘s better than all the blind dates Jasmine had gone to. I‘ll ask her what she thinks tomorrow.
“It‘s late now, Mr. York. I‘m going back to my room to wash up and sleep.” Serenity was exhausted from
shopping. Zachary got up as well and said faintly, “Oh, good night.”
Serenity replied with a good night and went into her room. She could not be bothered to even put away
the things she bought from shopping and planned to leave them for tomorrow morning.
Seeing how she went straight into the room without any intention to stay, Zachary stood where he was
and remained silent for a long time.
After a while, he walked out to the balcony, sat down on the swing, quietly looking at the night sky and
wondering how both of them would go on in the future.
Zachary was used to sleeping late, so he sat at the balcony until past eleven o‘clock before returning to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthis territory.
The husband and wife lived in the same house, but they stayed separately. He did not enter her room,
and neither would she step into his territory. Once the doors of the two rooms were closed, it was as if
they had nothing to do with each other.
It was Zachary himself who had caused this.
The night passed without another word. The next day, Serenity woke up at her usual time.
She habitually went to the balcony to tend to her flowers.
Then, she saw some tiny ants on the balcony. When she bent down to have a closer look and followed
the ant trail, she traced it back to them crawling out from several potted flowers.
She realized why there were so many ants in the area.
It was because the ants hatched from their eggs in the soil since she had not used any pesticide when
she made a garden out of the balcony
She usually watered the flowers without bending down, so she did not notice there were ants in the
flower pots.
After watering the plants, she took her purse and went out to the market to buy groceries for a home–
cooked lunch later in the store. She also bought a few packs of ant repellent and sprinkled them in the
flower pots.
In the future, Sue had to diligently kill insects and ants for her flowers, lest the pests go out of control.
Serenity was at the market for half an hour and came back with several bags of groceries.
When she went upstairs, she found a middle–aged woman standing in front of her house. The woman
was pulling out her cell phone, seemingly wanting to make a call. “Madam.”
Serenity walked over and called out to the woman, who was startled by her greeting. She smiled and
asked the woman,” Madam, may I ask who you‘re looking for?” Mrs. Lane blinked. ‘Is this the missus?
‘I was about to call Mr. Zachary and our conversation might give away his identity. Fortunately, she
interrupted me by calling out to me.
‘Otherwise, if he picked up my call and she heard me addressing him as Mr. Zachary by habit like how
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit is back in the main residence, it might raise suspicion to the ordinary man persona he painstakingly
crafted, or it could have also been exposed by me.‘ “Hello.”
Mrs. Lane smiled. “I’m Mrs. Lane, the nanny Mr. York hired. I‘m here to start work today as agreed. I
came here according to the address that Mr. York gave me. Are you Mrs. York?”
So it turned out to be Mrs. Lane.
Serenity took out her keys and opened the door, saying, “Mr. York told me about you. You can just call
me Serenity, Mrs. Lane. I‘m not too used to being called Mrs. York.” In reality, she still felt like she was
the same free and unfettered Serenity Hunt. She only remembered that she was married when she
saw Zachary. “That’s… not really…” Mrs. Lane was hesitant to call the missus by her name. When they
spoke, she had already sized up Serenity. She saw that Serenity was carrying several bags of freshly
bought groceries in her hands, and felt that Serenity was someone down–to–earth, just like Old Mrs.
York.
She was not arrogant or haughty like other rich ladies. Serenity invited Mrs. Lane into her home and
said with a smile,” Since you‘re coming to work with us, we have a professional relationship. You can
just call me by my name. There‘s no need to call me Missus.”
Hearing Serenity and Mrs. Lane‘s conversation, Zachary quickly put on his clothes and came out of the
room. “Mr. York.”
