Serena woke up hungry.
As she regained her senses, she habitually touched her side but did not feel the wolf.
She tilted her head to look and saw that the pillow next to hers was empty.
There was no warmth even under the blanket. That wolf had gotten up long ago.
Serena thought the sky had just turned bright, but when she took her phone to check the time, she froze for a while and then sat up abruptly.
It was almost noon!
No wonder she felt hungry.
Given that she had slept so long and just woken up, it would only be strange if she was not hungry.
Zack did not wake her up.
Serena quickly took a set of clothes into the bathroom to change into them. Following that, she washed up and hurried downstairs without putting on any makeup.
While she was still on the stairs, her phone rang.
It was the wolf who had called..
“Zack.”
Serena stopped to answer his call. As soon as she did, she complained about him in a low voice, “You didn’t wake me when you got up. I just woke up. It’s already noon.”
Zack chuckled on the other end of the call. “I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn’t wake you and let you sleep a little longer. I called Ms. Sox for you and told her that you’re a little tired today and would only return to the store in the afternoon.”
Jasmine would imagine things if that was what Zack told her. Nonetheless, Serena and Zack were quite unrestrained and unbridled last night.
“You’re off work, right?”
“I just finished a meeting and am about to have lunch. You should eat before coming out.”
Zack reminded Serena, afraid that she would leave without eating anything.
“It’s lunchtime, so I’ll definitely eat before going out. Go and have your lunch then. I’m going downstairs.”
“Okay, I love you.”
Serena smiled. “I’m not very used to hearing your sweet words. I love you too.”
Following that, she kissed the phone, which was what she learned from Jasmine’s phone call with Josh the last time. She laughed and asked Zack, “I kissed you. Did you feel it?”
Zack laughed with joy and responded, “I felt it.”
After setting up a romantic night for Serena last night, she had indeed become much more passionate toward him.
Zack thought he would be more romantic in the future so his wife would always be passionate toward him.
Serena giggled and hung up the phone.
As Zack could not hear his wife’s cheeky laughter anymore, he was reluctant to move his phone away from his ear.
He hoped he could always cling to Serena.
At this moment, Zack finally understood why his father immediately retired and did not care about anything anymore once he could take over York Corporation. His father spent time with his mother every day instead… Sure enough, if one could grow old together with someone for life, one would not give it up for anything in the world.
Unfortunately, unlike his father, Zack did not get married and have kids early. He only got married at the age of thirty and turned thirty one this year. His successor was nowhere to be found.
He would have to last at least twenty to thirty years in York Corporation before he could retire.
Serena did not know that his wolf was already thinking about retirement. As soon as she was downstairs, Mrs. Lane greeted her with a smile, “Missus, you’re up. You must be hungry. Lunch is just ready.”
Serena hummed. She felt that Mrs. Lane was looking at her meaningfully.
She pretended not to notice and went into the dining room to eat as if nothing was wrong
It would not be enjoyable for her to eat by herself, so she asked Mrs. Lane to join her.
Once Serena filled her stomach, she then had the mood to admire the interior of the house. Zack had not asked anyone to tidy up the house, so the romantic scene from last night was preserved.
At this time, Jim walked in.
“Missus.”
Jim walked to Serena’s front and stopped, then he handed a small transparent bag containing a dozen strands of Old Mr. Hunt’s hair to Serena and said, “Missus, this is what Mr. Zack ordered me to do when he left home this morning. It’s done.”
“These are? My granddad’s hair?” Serena asked as she took the bag.
The result of her discussion with Zack last night was that she decided to use Noah to help them obtain Old Mr. Hunt’s hair. Afterward, she would take them for a DNA test.
“Yes.”
Serena thanked Jim and asked, “Noah was willing to help?”
“He’s quite afraid of you, Missus. I brought you up to scare him, then he conscientiously went to pluck a dozen strands of his grandpa’s hair.”
As for how Noah coaxed Old Mr. Hunt into letting him pluck his hair, Jim was not bothered.
Jim only wanted the result.
Serena laughed. “That kid is just young and impetuous. He doesn’t have a bad nature.”
Noah was still two or three months short of turning eighteen. He was indeed young and vigorous at that age.
After receiving Old Mr. Hunt’s hair, Serena asked Jim to send her to the test center to do another DNA test.
Serena did the DNA test with Mrs. Stone last time, so she knew where the center was.
Jim asked Zack for instructions before he sent Serena to the test center.
When they walked out of the test center, they saw that Zack’s convoy had just arrived.
Serena walked toward the tall man who had gotten out of the car. She said to him while walking, “You must be so free in the afternoon to come and pick me up. Jim could’ve sent me home.”
Zack took two steps forward and held her hand. He led her to the car and said in a low voice, “As long as I’m free, I hope I’ll be the one to pick my wife up.”
Serena no longer wanted to say anything about how domineering he was.
Fortunately, his domineering behavior now came with respect. He gave her enough freedom, unlike before when he disregarded her feelings.
“I went to Liberty’s place this morning to pick Sonny up.”
Zack used a normal tone as he was subtly claiming credit from his wife.
“Voutes so busy at work. How will you take care of Sonny if you let him stay with you?”
Zack replied, “My office is big, so I let him play in my office. He was very obedient and didn’t throw tantrums.”
