Cupid’s Arrow Hit On Me by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 653

Chapter 653
Alice took Serenity around the residence before excusing herself to take a nap.
“Go and have your break, Alice. I’ll sit here and enjoy the view.”
Serenity did not want to go back into the house. Compared to the lavishly
furnished home, she preferred the natural scenery in the yard.
She saw a few garden patches along the fence and guessed that her aunt must
have done the gardening herself.
Mrs. Stone was the lady of a wealthy and powerful family, but it did not change
the fact that she grew up in an orphanage. It made sense that she would be
hands–on with gardening after going through poverty and retiring from a desk
job.
“Are you cold? I’ll send someone to fetch you a jacket if you are.”
Serenity and Liberty did not bring extra clothes as they were here for a meal.
They thought they would go home after a meal and a good chat.

Serenity chuckled as the frustration she had toward him gradually diminished.
She tapped on the button for a video chat.
Zachary quickly picked up.
“Seren.”
His deep but hoarse voice was heard. It somehow pained Serenity to hear him
like this.
It must have taken a toll on Zachary after the couple had another fight, and she
went drinking at a bar while he was away on business. He rushed back on the
same day to check on her and hurried back to
work soon after.
“Didn’t you sleep well?”
“It’s not that. I might have caught a cold.”
His health took a hit as he often bathed in cold water during winter.
Serenity told him off, “You better layer up and have your meals on time. I was
fine. I only went for a few drinks to let some steam off.”
Zachary stared at her for a moment before uttering, “I’m sorry, Seren. It was all
my fault.
“I was overly sensitive and self-centered without any regard for your feelings.
You’re an independent
woman. I’ve known that from the start. Yet, I kept trying to get you to rely on me
