Chapter 56 Should Serenity call Zachary to wake him up? Nana mentioned that Zachary would be furious if anyone
were to disrupt his sleep.
Serenity looked at the time. It was past midnight. Zachary must still be awake since he usually came
home around this time. Serenity took the plunge and called Zachary. Zachary was wide awake. In fact,
he locked the door from the inside on purpose, albeit he had no idea of the reason behind his own
actions.
Anyway, it triggered Zachary to see Serenity and Shawn together , looking like a match made in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtheaven. The conniving woman was in a rush to look for her next sugar daddy since she could not get
much out of him. She had Nana completely fooled.
At the end of the day, Nana had only known Serenity for three months. How well could Nana know
Serenity? Yet, Nana, driven by gratitude, put a lot of trust in Serenity and nagged Zachary to marry
her… Zachary’s phone rang but he refused to pick up Serenity’s call. The ringing stopped after a while
but not for long as Serenity called again. Zachary left Serenity high and dry for three call attempts
before picking up “Are you asleep, Mr. York?” “What do you want?” Zachary seethed. “You locked the
door.
I can’t get in.” After a brief silence, Zachary’s flat but sarcasm tinted voice came through. “I thought you
were going to stay at a hotel tonight.” The spite came out of nowhere for Serenity. Why would she stay
at a hotel? What was with the sudden lash out? Did she step on his toes in any way? “Can you open
the door, Mr. York?” Being the bigger person, Serenity let his tone slide.
Zachary remained without a word. The couple settled into an awkward tension before Serenity broke
the silence. “Mr. York, I’m fine if you want me to stay at a hotel. I can always use the debit card you
gave me to pay for the night at Wiltspoon Hotel.” Zachary, “…” “Hang on!” He callously uttered before
hanging up. A few minutes later, he got out to open the door. Zachary turned on his heel and walked
away the second the door was opened. Serenity walked into the house and locked the door behind her.
With Zachary making his way to his bedroom, Serenity called him back. “Wait, Mr. York.” Zachary
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmstopped in his tracks without looking back. “Mr. York, what’s with the salty and sarcastic tone tonight?
Did I offend you in any way? Just tell me directly if you have a problem. Don’t bring the issues to bed
and give me that sassy attitude. I can move out if you intend to lock me out every day. This is your
house anyway. Your house, your rules.” Serenity was annoyed too.
Zachary turned around. His dark eyes bore into hers with the chills of a dark and stormy night. Serenity
reckoned she would be frozen solid by the time he was done with her. “How did you come home
tonight?” “What?” Serenity was confused by the question. “Who took you home?” Serenity was
dumbstruck. How did he know Shawn drove her back when she got off at the community gate? Did he
have telescopic vision? Perhaps Zachary caught her getting out of Shawn’s car while on his way home.
Regardless, Serenity did not notice Zachary at all.
