Jensburg and Wiltspoon were in different provinces.
Although with the established and ease of connectivity, it would still take a few hours to get from Wiltspoon to Jensburg, whether it was by plane or high–speed rail.
It was far away in Serena’s eyes.
She asked her man, “Does York Corporation have a branch in Jensburg?”
“Yes, but it’s not that big. We hired a manager to handle the branch there.
“Our family’s main industry in Jensburg is the hotels. There are six five–star hotels in Jensburg, two of which are owned by our family.”
Serena was struck by a realization. “No wonder Nana chose someone from Jensburg for Kevin.”
It was because Kevin was responsible for all the hotels under York Corporation.
Zack and Callum said in their hearts, ‘Nana won’t do anything she’s uncertain about.‘
Zack took Camryn’s photo from his beloved wife’s hand and handed it to Callum, then started to glare at the latter again.
Callum was speechless… “I’ll go now, Zack and Serena. You guys continue chatting. Eat more, Zack!”
What a cheapskate!
Serena said there was enough food for them to eat together, but Zack would not let him eat!
He could only find an excuse to leave, but he could not let Serena notice that it was because Zack was being stingy and not letting him stay.
Callum left, leaving the young couple in the office.
“Have you eaten, Seren?”
“I ate before I came here.”
Serena would not let herself go hungry.
Zack was just about to reach out for the food when his wife smacked his hand.
“You’re an adult. Use a spoon.”
She handed him the utensils. “Hurry up and eat. Cold food isn’t good for your stomach.”
Zack took the spoon and said to Serena, “I’ll eat now, honey.”
“Go ahead.”
Zack dug in.
“Seren, are you still feeling uncomfortable today? Does your stomach hurt?”
“No, I drank the hot cocoa you made for me. It doesn’t hurt this time.”
Zack hummed and asked tentatively, “Seren, let’s go to your sister’s place to get all your stuff back when we have time.”
“I didn’t bring many things to my sister’s place. It’s just a few sets of clothes. Just leave them there so I can stay over there anytime I want to.”
Zack smiled. “Okay. I’ll buy you a few more sets of clothes.”
“No need. I’ve spent almost all of my savings buying clothes, shoes, and formal dresses. My closet is stuffed to the brim.”
She had to learn from her aunt how to socialize.
Under her aunt and Elisa’s critical eyes, she was forced to buy many new clothes.
Her aunt told her that her identity was different now. If she did not dress well, she would be talked about by others. if she dressed well, she would become a goal worthy of people pursuing.
In short, she was now Mrs. York and all eyes were on her now.
“There’s plenty of money in the household card. You can swipe that card if you need to buy anything. There’s no need to spend your own savings.”
For people who lived in that circle, Serena’s many years of savings was nothing much to them.
Serena said nothing.
Zack leaned over and kissed her on the face.
She immediately pushed him away and wiped the spot he kissed with a napkin, saying, “Don’t kiss me when your mouth is oily.”
“Honey, I’m working hard to earn money to give you a good life. If you don’t spend my money, I’d be tiring myself out for nothing.”
“Do you lack money? You don’t need to work that hard. Even if you marry a hundred of me as your wives, we won’t be able to finish spending all your money. In the future, you have to go to work on time, but you’re not allowed to work overtime. Even if you do, you have to come home before ten at night.”
Zack’s eyes were full of indulgence. “I’ll do just that, honey.”
With the spring breeze called Serena Hunt blowing into York Corporation, the layers of ice in the company melted completely.
Serena stopped bringing up how Zack lied to her, and Zack sensibly did not take the initiative to mention it either.
In the future, he had to double his love for this woman.
“Mrs. Stone is pregnant. Should we send some supplements over?”
Zack casually raised the question as he pulled Serena’s hand over to play with after he finished eating.
The last time he met Clive, he even mentioned how Clive had not had a child despite several years of marriage. Now, Alice suddenly got pregnant.
He wondered when his Seren would get pregnant too.
Zack was not in a hurry to have a baby. He just liked the process.
After remaining chaste for so long, all the cells in his body were screaming at him, desiring Serena.
Unfortunately, he had to hold back for a while longer.
He pulled her hand up to check her injured finger and make sure that it was recovering well. Lowering his head, he tenderly kissed the wounded finger.
It was his fault that caused her to get hurt.
“I talked to Liberty about it. She’ll go buy some supplements. She’s a mother, so she knows more than I do. Once she buys them, we’ll send them over together.”
Serena was genuinely happy about Alice’s pregnancy.
“That’s fine. I’ll reimburse Liberty for the money she spent on the supplements.”
Serena hummed.
“Seren.”
“What?”
“I just wanted to call your name and hear your voice.”
Zack pulled her into his iron grip and wrapped her soft and delicate body tightly.” Seren, you don’t know how much I’ve missed you on days I couldn’t go to you.”
Serena leaned against his chest and listened to him whisper about his pain and longing.
In fact, she did not have a good time either.
Of course, she was still much better off compared to him.
“The others are still on their lunch break, so take a rest so you have the energy to continue your work later.”
“Will you accompany me?”
