Chapter 735

Tania, who felt cheated by her son, deliberately treated Serenity well during breakfast. Her son got jealous and said bitterly, “Mom, was I adopted?”

She gave him a sidelong glance and said, “This is how I treat my daughter and my son.”

It was the brat’s fault for tricking her.

Zachary was speechless.

After the meal, Serenity sent Zachary off downstairs.

“I actually have an evening dress, so there’s no need to buy a new one.”

Serenity said to her husband, “Evening dresses are a little expensive, and I only wear one once a year.

If I buy another, it’s just going to stay untouched at home. It’ll be a waste if I gain weight and can’t wear it anymore. I think having one dress is enough, so there’s no need to buy a new one. We still need a lot of money to buy Christmas gifts.

“You didn’t tell me about this earlier, and now you had Mom come over.”

Zachary listened to his wife’s complaints. Before getting in the car, he gently brushed Serenity’s pretty nose and said, “Seren, I told you before that we’ll live within our means. I would never do this if I was financially strained. I’m doing this to show you that we’re still pretty well off.

“Don’t worry, I still have enough money to add two evening dresses to my wife’s closet. We’ll just buy a few things for Christmas and some gifts for the elders. We’ll receive a lot of gifts in return, especially you. It’s your first Christmas at my place, so they’ll shower you with lots of gifts.”

He deliberately added, “You have to share half of your presents with me. It’s because of me that you became a wife of the York family.”

Serenity could not help but laugh. “Sure, I’ll split my presents with you.”

“I already transferred the money for the evening dresses to my mom in advance. Her social circle is not limited to just the noble ladies, and she understands the trends, so she can help choose a dress that suits you. She can also tell if the material is good or bad, so don’t worry about being scammed.”

Zachary was afraid Serenity would not spend his money, so he transferred the money to his mother in advance.

His mother did not want his money, but Zachary said that his wife’s expenses were his responsibility, and there was no reason for his mother to help him bear those expenses.

Tania stopped arguing with her son and simply accepted the amount he transferred to her.

“Okay, Zachary.”

“Call me Babe.”

Zachary looked at her tenderly and whispered, “Say it in a gentle and mushy voice so that I feel warm and tingly all over.”

Serenity slapped his arm and said, “Like the way you say it? I don’t feel warm all over. I get goosebumps instead.”

“Come on, Seren. If you’re not used to being mushy, then just say it gently. I feel good after hearing it.

I’ll have more energy at work, and I’ll be able to finish work early to come back and accompany you.”

Serenity was helpless against his stubbornness and called him Babe.

“Even a mosquito is louder than you.”

Serenity was speechless. “Go to work already. I’ll buy a megaphone when I go shopping with Mom later and use it to call you Babe every day so the entire neighborhood can hear me, okay?”

“Really?”

“Absolutely.”

Under Serenity’s repeated urging, Zachary reluctantly drove away in his car.

After driving out of Brynfield, he met up with his bodyguards, got into his exclusive car, and went to York Corporation with their escort.

When Zachary left for work, Serenity went shopping for an evening dress accompanied by her mother-

in-law.
