“Honey, will you let me suffer grievances?”
“No, absolutely not. I don’t care if anyone else does as long as that person isn’t my husband. I love my Mr. York the most. Zack, my love for you is like the Nile River. Its waters flow endlessly.”
“Pfft—”
The driver, as well as Jim sitting in the passenger seat, could not help but laugh.
The missus’s will to live was quite strong.
Only then did Serena remember that they were sitting in Zack’s Rolls Royce with the driver and Super Jim in the car with them.
Super Jim was the nickname that Serena gave him. He could do everything, so she called him so.
“I’m sleepy, Zack. I’ll take a nap.”
Serena simply threw herself into her husband’s arms and pretended to sleep.
In any case, she did not feel embarrassed. The embarrassed one was someone else.
Zack held her with a smile in his eyes. “Sleep. I’ll carry you upstairs when we reach home and wake you up to go back to the store at three in the afternoon.”
Serena hummed.
She really was sleepy.
She soon fell asleep in Zack’s arms.
Zack was sleepy too.
Serena got up early, since they slept in the same bed, how could he continue sleeping when she was already awake?
He embraced his wife, leaned back in the car seat, and also closed his eyes.
He thought of taking a short nap till they got home.
Thus, he surrendered himself to the sandman.
The sandman easily put them to sleep.
Serena returned to the bookstore at 2:50 pm.
Zack personally sent her to the store.
“I have a social function tonight,” Zack said somberly when Serena got out of the car.
Serena looked at him and instinctively asked, “What time will you leave the office? Don’t drink too much, and definitely don’t drink on an empty stomach. It’ll hurt your tummy.”
“I took medicine for three days. My stomach will be fine.”
Serena said, “Even if your stomach is fine, you still have to take care of it. I’ll send you some food before you leave work. Eat a little before going, but still, don’t drink too much.
It’s best if you can forgo drinking altogether.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll wait for you to send food to me before leaving.”
Enter title…
Zack’s dark eyes burned as he looked at Serena.
Serena instantly understood what he wanted and turned back to kiss his face. Then, she pinched his cheek. Just as Zack was about to strike, she slipped out of the car swiftly so he could not catch her.
Zack wanted to say something to her, but she did not hear.
Anyway, she agreed to let him do whatever he wanted after two more days.
Serena smiled and went into the bookstore.
Elisa and Jasmine were both in the store. One was holding a novel and reading it, and the other was fiddling with Serena’s half-weaved craft.
They looked at her at the same time when they saw her come in with a smile.
Elisa spoke first. “Jasmine, have you noticed that Seren is getting prettier and prettier?
Her smile is getting sweeter as well. It’s as bright as the morning sun.”
Jasmine closed the novel she had not finished reading. Elisa and Serena both did not understand why she loved reading novels so much.
“With love as nourishment, she’s naturally becoming more beautiful.”
Serena laughed and retorted, “That’s the pot calling the kettle black.”
Josh and Jasmine had eventually become a couple as they got along in their daily life.
They were an incredibly relaxed and sweet couple since they did not have to go through the twists and turns that Serena and Zack had.
Josh was well-tempered, and Jasmine was not pretentious, so they got along well.
Josh’s EQ was also much higher than his two friends, and he was someone romantic.
Jasmine could not resist his romancing and raised her hands in surrender very quickly.
The two ladies looked at Elisa in unison. Elisa was the only one among them who was still single.
“Don’t look at me. I’m not in the mood to date now. I want to learn to be a strong woman like my mom when she was young.”
Elisa grinned and touched her face, saying confidently, “I’m beautiful even without the nourishment of love.”
“That’s true. You’re always beautiful. You were born beautiful. I love how forthright you are.”
Serena walked to the cashier’s desk. Elisa gave up her seat and asked, “Is your online store still open?”
“Of course. I’m a person who can never have too much money. As long as there’s money to be made and I can cope with the workload, I’ll continue the online store.”
She sat down and continued to work on her craft while saying, “Elisa, have you finished the plan? Tell us about it. We’re both rookies, so we need you to take the lead.”
“Seren, you can hire people to help you with handicrafts. That way, you can continue the operation of your online shop while freeing up time to do other things. You’ll earn less money, but you’ll earn money all the same,” Elisa suggested.
Serena said, “I recently contacted several classmates who were in the same major as I was. They’re mostly housewives now and have no income. They also tried opening an online store but failed to keep it running. They said they’ll give me an answer tomorrow.”
She had more important things to do, so she could not focus entirely on the online store as she did before.
Her classmates who learned to weave crafts together with her did not succeed in starting an online business. However, it was not because they lacked skill. She was simply luckier than them and had Zack, his brothers, as well as Elisa to recommend her crafts to others.
Serena thought about Zack and herself. It seemed like she rarely coaxed him.
When she saw how easily Josh became elated when Jasmine coaxed him, she thought,
‘I’ll buy Zack a gift when I bring dinner to him later. I’m sure it’ll make him happy.’
“Jasmine, what are we eating tonight?” Serena asked.
