FreeNovelChapter 485
After comforting Serenity, Grandma May yawned gracefully. She put down the TV remote control, got
up, and said to the young couple, “I‘ll head in to rest up. I‘m old and can‘t stay up late.”
She took a few steps and stopped before turning around to ask Serenity, “Seren, should I bring your pill
ow out?”
Serenity smiled and said, “No need. There are pillows in the guest room for me.”
Grandma May glanced at her grandson twice, but did not say anything. She proceeded
into Serenity‘s room.
By the time Serenity went in to take a shower, the old lady was already snoring loudly.
Serenity was speechless.
Ten minutes later.
She came out of the room in her pajamas. Just after closing the door, she saw
her man in his robe, leaning against the door of his room with his arms across his chest.
“Not sleeping yet? You have to work tomorrow.”
Serenity casually said to him, pretending to not

However, when she pushed open the door to the guest room, she was dumbfounded.
The bedsheet was gone.
The quilt was gone.
The pillow was also gone.
She had clearly bought a set of bedding products. Where did they go?
Were they stolen?
That did not seem right, a thief would not just steal bedding.
She turned her head to look at the proud man who was still standing against the door. He must have
taken advantage of the time she was in the shower to take away all the bedding in the guest room.
Zachary kept silent and simply looked at her.
Serenity turned around and walked back toward him. She paused in front of him and then walked into
his room.
While entering, she said, “I remember a certain someone mentioned that he’d keep the door
of the room open for me to search for the agreement.”
Zachary waited for her to enter the room before following her. He closed the door behind him and said
calmly, “Be my guest. If you can‘t find it, then don‘t bring up the agreement again in the future, because
it doesn‘t exist.”
Apart from the safe that had not been open yet, she had already scoured every inch of the room
Serenity pretended to casually rummage through the room before heading over to his safe and patted it
. “Open it and let me see. You must have hidden it here.”
Zachary walked over and unlocked it.
Serenity looked at him before opening the safe. There was only one thing inside–a
small document. It was the marriage license of the two of them.
There was nothing else.
She removed the marriage license before inspecting the safe. There really was nothing left.
“There‘s not even a penny here. What did you buy a safe for?”
Zachary said as a matter of fact, “To keep our marriage license.”
“If you‘d like to put money inside, I‘ll go to the bank tomorrow after work to get some
cash and bring it back to place it in the safe. You can use it whenever you want to.”
“There‘s still money in the household expenses card you gave me.”
Serenity flipped over the marriage license to look at their wedding photo, which appeared very unnatur

“Look at your face back then. You‘re like an iceberg. I was worried I‘d freeze and turn into an ice sculpt
ure after taking the wedding photos.”
Zachary sat down beside her and took a look at the photo on the license. “You weren‘t particularly enth
usiastic either. The photographer kept telling you to lean closer, but you were frozen stiff. You didn‘t bud
ge an inch.”
Serenity was speechless.
It was the pot calling the kettle black
“Seren, don‘t mention the agreement again. It‘s gone. Even if it wasn’t gone, I would
have probably flushed it down the drain already.”
Serenity looked at him and dove into the deep abyss of pondering what he could mean
He was going back on his word, that was what he meant. He took advantage of that night when
She was a little drunk to destroy her copy of the agreement. He was afraid she would wake up and look
for it, so he destroyed his own copy as well.
When she remembered to ask him, he shamelessly denied it and said that she had
been worrying too much lately and was hallucinating.
He was clearly saving
himself from shooting himself in the foot again. Serenity mulled over his words but did not poke at his li
es.
