Chapter 639
Married at First Sight
Zachary looked at the drawing.
His gaze deepened.
Serenity had drawn him particularly well, but she deliberately drew his heart outside, and a super duper small one at thatâ¦
Was she saying that he had a tiny heart? She meant to say he was petty and narrowâminded!
There was also water behind his portrait. Was it a lake or a pond? Furthermore, what did the circles on the surface of the water mean? There were no fish under the water. If there were, he could say that the bubbles were from the fish.
Zachary held the drawing and pondered while walking.
What did Serenity mean by her artwork?
The portrait was âZacharyâ, but what did the water and balls mean?
Jim was waiting for him downstairs.
âMr. Zachary.â
âMm.â
Zachary hummed. When he saw Jim looking at the paper in his hand, he got into the car and said, â
Serenity drew this for me.â
Jim did not see clearly what was on the paper, but since the missus drew it, then it must be a good drawing.
He thus complimented, âThe missusâs drawing must be beautiful.â
âYes, she drew me like a photograph.â
Zachary leaned back on the car seat and stared at the series of circles on the water.
Zachary was a whatâball?
âWater? No⦠Zachary is a slimeball!â
Jim perked up and turned to look at Zachary. âWhat did you say, sir?â
He seemed to hear the words âZachary is a slimeball.â
âIs Mr. Zachary calling himself a slimeball?
âOr are my ears playing tricks on me?â
âItâs nothing, just drive. Iâm in a hurry.â
Zachary sighed deeply upon deciphering the hidden meaning behind Serenityâs drawing. He folded the paper carefully and kept it. Although Serenity was calling him names, it was her first drawing for him.
It was especially meaningful and he had to cherish it wholeheartedly.
Ring ring ringâ¦
His phone rang again.
It was Josh calling.
âZachary, are you home or leaving for your business trip again?â
âIâm going on the trip.â
âThat sucks. You have to work over the weekend.â
Josh looked sympathetic.
âStop gloating.â
Zachary spoke in a bad mood. He did not have to return to the company during the weekend, but the, problems had not been fully managed. In addition to that, he had to visit a few of the injured employees.
The matters this time needed to be handled by him or Josh personally mainly because his employeesâ
lives were involved.
Fortunately, the injured workers were rescued.
The purpose of this business trip was to clean up the mess. The management of that subsidiary would have to be changed.
âZachary, have you seen your wifeâs drawing?â
âI saw.â
âHow do you feel?â
Zachary said faintly, âItâs incredibly lifelike. Itâs clear that she engraved me into her heart. She must love me very much to draw me so skillfully.â
Josh paused. âWell, you can think of it that way. What about those circles she drew? Do you understand what those mean?â
âYes, my Serenity canât bear to call me a slimeball to my face, so she used the drawing to express herself. Sheâs taking care of my reputation so I donât feel humiliated. Itâs clear that she likes me very much. She canât even bear to scold me in person.â
Josh said, âZachary, youâre the only person who can spin a completely different meaning to a drawing that was meant to scold you.
âArenât you angry? Did you tear that drawing?â
