Chapter 613
Married at First Sight
When Serenity arrived at the store, she just so happened to see Josh coming out.
He turned his head and waved goodbye as he walked away. Serenity did not have to ask to know that he was speaking to Jasmine.
He greeted Serenity politely when he saw her.
Serenity smiled back. She was not familiar with Josh but was aware of his true identity, so she was a bit reserved.
Josh and Serenity had nothing to talk about either, and she was his friendâs wife. It was inappropriate for him to interact much with her when his friend was not around.
âIâll head back to the office, Ms. Hunt.â
âBye, Mr. Bucham.â
Josh smiled, got into the car, and quickly drove away.
Only then did Serenity enter the store.
As soon as she did, she saw a large bouquet of flowers placed on the cashierâs desk. At a glance, there seemed to be ninety-nine roses. In addition to the bouquet, there was a large bag beside it that was filled with a variety of snacks Jasmine ate regularly.
There were also a few sets of Jasmineâs commonly used and most loved skincare products.
Jasmine was sitting at the cash register with Sonny in her arms, opening up a bag of snacks to share with the boy. When she saw Serenity enter, she smiled and said, âThereâs food. Mr. Bucham delivered a lot of snacks. We wonât feel bored watching the store anymore.â
âAnt Swer,â Sonny greeted Serenity, with his gaze going back to the bag of snacks in Jasmineâs hand.
Jasmine tipped the bag and took a cracker from it to feed Sonny. Sonny ate while reaching out to the bag for more.
âDonât eat too much, Sonny. Itâll affect your appetite.â
After Jasmine gave Sonny a few more crackers, she stopped feeding him for fear he would snack on too much and refuse a proper meal later.
Serenity looked at the snacks in the bag as well as the sets of skincare products. She teased her friend, âMr. Bucham has figured out all your preferences. Theyâre all favorite flavors and the brands you like to use on a daily basis.â
your Zachary never bought her snacks or sent her skincare products.
All he knew was to get angry when she used the mask sent by Elisa. He even asked what brands she preferred using so he would buy them for her in the future and not use stuff from Elisa anymore.
All talk and no walk.
Zachary actually bought her snacks before, but he was still arrogant at that time and could not put aside his pride, so he said that they were for Sonny.
Jasmine said, âElisa already said that Mr. Bucham is from a family that deals with information. Iâm basically as plain as day to him. If I want to know something about him, Iâll never find out unless he voluntarily tells me himself.
âPeople from families that deal with intelligence are great at prying into other peopleâs affairs and equally great at protecting their own privacy.â
Serenity thought about it and agreed.
She laughed. âI feel as if youâre losing interest in him by the day whereas heâs come to like you more.
He has even started pursuing you.â
He hand-delivered such a large bouquet of flowers.
Meanwhile, her petty husband had never sent her ninety-nine roses before.
âItâs not that I hate it. I just feel like I donât have privacy in front of him.â
Josh was eloquent, gentle, polite, and attractive. Jasmine had a good first impression of him. She did not hate him, but she did not like him either.
After all, they had only met a few times.
âLetâs go one step at a time. You can think about the future when you develop feelings for each other. If you canât, then donât force yourself. You donât have to worry about Zacharyâs job. He hadnât just started building connections with Mr. Bucham now.â
Jasmine was indeed worried that her best friendâs husband would have his job affected by Josh if she rejected him.
After discovering Joshâs real identity, she searched the web for news related to him, but unfortunately, there was not much.
She only knew Joshâs position in York Corporation.
