Chapter 687

Even though Serenity had been hanging around Zachary every day, he could not kiss. his wife, the love of his life.

Zachary had trouble keeping it in his pants.

Now that the ban was lifted, he could not keep his hands off Serenity and demanded kisses.

A while later, Serenity rested against his chest and caught up on her breathing.

“Seren.”

Serenity lifted her chin to meet him at eye level.

With Zachary looking rather solemn, Serenity blinked her eyes. That was quite a quick change of mood. She asked, “What’s the matter? Why do you have that teacher look?

“Do you still remember the first time you came to my shop to help? The students didn’t even dare set foot into the shop because you were there.”

Zachary put his hand on her face, caressing his thumb against her soft skin. There was a smile across his face. “You rushed me to go back to the office. I was furious because you didn’t appreciate that I was trying to help you. You even tried to hurry me along.”

In the past, he was always stuck–up, grumpy, and sour–faced in her presence. He acted as if everybody owed him.

“What are you trying to say to me, Zachary?”

Serenity did not stop Zachary from brushing his finger against her face as she enjoyed the intimate caresses. It felt as though she was a gem to him.

“There’s one thing I’ve kept from you.”

“What’s that?”

Zachary fell silent before saying, “You must promise that you won’t get angry with me, Seren, and you can’t go back on your word.”

Serenity stared at him, and he did not shy away from her gaze.

After looking into each other’s eyes, Serenity nudged him away to create a distance between them.

“Zachary, are you trying to trick me? You want me to promise that I won’t get angry and that I won’t go back on my word before you tell me what’s up. What if you’re going to tell me something that will make me blow up? Am I supposed to suck it up and pretend everything is sunshine and roses?

“Let me put it out there I won’t take one for the team. I’ll pinch and bite you when I’m mad!”

Zachary reached out to hold her.

However, she slapped away his hand.

“Don’t touch me. Tell me what you’ve been hiding from me, and I’ll decide whether it’s enough reason not to abuse you.”

Zachary uttered, “Erm, I don’t just have the property in Brynfield.”

Folding her arms, Serenity asked, “And?”

“I have a villa on the hilltop in Regent Residences. I have been living there until we tied the knot. I only brought the ready–to–move–in house in Brynfield at the last minute before we signed the papers.”

Serenity glared at him.

Regent Residences?

What was the price per square foot of the villas there?

Serenity had been keeping an eye on property prices as she was doing the math to save for a down payment. She would not dream of living in a villa. Hence, Serenity did not pay much attention to the luxury areas.

Pulling out her phone, Serenity checked online for the price per square foot in Regent Residences. It was then she realized Regent Residences was an exclusive area, and those living there were loaded.
