Chapter 245
Zachary quietly looked at Serenity.
He had not seen her for two days and suddenly felt that he liked seeing her face.
The couple stared at each other.
In the end, Serenity broke the silence. “Wash your hands and help me bring the dishes out. They’re ready to serve.”
Zachary neither refused nor explicitly agreed. He pursed his thin lips and asked in a low voice, “Why did you buy so much seafood?”
That was because he did not receive any notice of expenditure from the bank.
Did Serenity buy all the seafood from her own pockets?
Although they were at an impasse, Zachary still felt that it was his duty as a husband to support the family.
“How much did they cost? I’ll transfer the money to you later. I agreed to pay for the living expenses.”
Serenity turned to look at the seafood feast she prepared. She then smiled and explained, “It didn’t cost a cent. Ms. Stone brought these back from her beach vacation and gave me aplenty. When you send Nana home later, you can bring some back to your parents. They’re all very fresh.”
Zachary’s handsome face twitched slightly.
It turned out Elisa was the one who gave Serenity all these.
Elisa and Serenity were supposed to be love rivals, but because Zachary had deliberately concealed his identity, the two ladies seemed to have some interaction. It seemed that they were even becoming good friends.
“We shouldn’t receive gifts for no reason. Ms. Stone gave you so much seafood, so we shouldn’t owe her a favor. I’ll transfer some money to you. Buy something for Ms. Stone and consider it a return gift for all the seafood.”
In short, Zachary just wanted to transfer money to Serenity.
That was because the couple deleted each other’s WhatsApp.
He did not want to admit to it by taking the initiative to add Serenity back, so he decided to transfer her some money.
As long as Serenity was willing to accept his money transfer, she would have to give him her account number. That way, he could openly add his wife on WhatsApp without
shame.
Serenity did not think as much as Zachary and downright rejected Zachary’s offer. She
said, “Ms. Stone and I are already friends, so don’t mind the courtesy. If I’m calculative. with her, she’ll be angry and think that I’m looking down on her.
“Also, I taught Ms. Stone a trick, so Ms. Stone giving me all this seafood can bet considered payment for me being her relationship consultant.”
Zachary was speechless.
“Wash your hands quickly and help serve the dishes. The seafood won’t be nice when it gets cold.”
Serenity took a plate of shrimps and went around Zachary to go out.
“Serenity.”
Zachary called out to her in a low voice.
Serenity stopped, turned to look at him, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Zachary looked at her but he was stumped for words.
Seeing that Serenity was impatient and was about to leave again, he did not say anything to reconcile their relationship. He just said, “Nothing.”
Serenity glared at him, turned around, and walked out of the kitchen.
Zachary was the only one left in the small kitchen.
He was a little frustrated.
After a minute of silence, he finally washed his hands and helped to serve the dishes.
Elisa gave Serenity many kinds of seafood. Serenity cooked a portion of each, which filled the table.
Jasmine also bought a few bottles of drinks.
Everyone sat around the table and had a great meal.
Even Sonny enjoyed his meal.
Sonny liked shrimps, but he was too young to peel the shells, so his mother had to peel them for him.
Serenity loved her nephew and felt sorry for her sister, who was exhausted from walking around all morning looking for a job. Thus, she put on disposable gloves, peeled the shells for her nephew, and said to her sister, “Liberty, eat some. I’ll take care of Sonny.”
“I’m fine. You can eat.”
Liberty took some fish for her son and asked him to eat some fish instead of just shrimp. Grandma May admired the strong bond between the Hunt sisters.
