Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 489
Zachary took the breakfast that Jim packed and placed them on the dining table. He had second thoughts and entered the
kitchen again.
He was brewing hot cocoa for Serenity.
“I thought you made the breakfast yourself, but it turned out to be takeouts.”
A teasing voice came through and Zachary did not even need to look back to know that it was his nana, neither did he say
anything.
“What are you making? It smells sweet and chocolatey.”
Grandma May walked into the kitchen, uncovered the saucepan, and took a look.
“I thought there was some progress.”
The old woman muttered and glanced at her grandson in disdain before turning to leave.
Zachary‘s handsome face tensed. He could not help but defend himself, “I tried very hard.”
There was originally a chance last night, but God played a trick on him.
“The heart. You have to go after the heart first. Didn‘t you see that all of Serenity‘s ten fingers are still empty?”
Zachary was speechless.
He tried very hard to go after her heart.
He bought two wedding bands long ago, and he even wore his ring several times. However, it was just to make Elisa give up on
him.
Serenity‘s ring was still with him since he had not given it to her.
“I have a pair of diamond rings that your grandfather bought when he was alive. We were supposed to wear it as a couple, but
your grandfather bought too many diamond rings. I can‘t wear all of them, so I left some of them in the jewelry vault.

“They‘ll just take up space if I leave them there, so I‘ll give them to you. Do as you please with thern.”
Grandma May‘s jewelry vault was full of treasures. The diamond ring that she always wore was her wedding ring. Although her
husband gave her many more diamond rings, she still liked to wear the one she had when she got married.
“Thanks, Nana.”
Zachary was well aware that the jewelry in his grandmother‘s vault were better than those in the jewelry stores, with many being
antique treasures.
Every husband and wife from his parents’ generation would receive a pair of diamond rings from Nana.
Now, it was the grandchildren’s turn. He was the first to receive a diamond ring from his
grandmother
He hoped that he could use the diamond ring presented to him by his grandmother to ensnare Serenity for the rest of her life.
“Learn how to say sweet words. Everyone likes hearing nice words. Don’t keep wearing that tense face. It‘ll make Serenity think
that she owes you a fortune.”
Zachary was speechless.
“I‘m already old, but I still have to worry about your marriage. You‘ll be letting me down if you don‘t make me a great–
grandmother by next year.
“Even your grandfather had a headache when it came to your marriage when he was still alive.”
Zachary was exasperated and thought, ‘Am I that bad?‘
“It‘s quite cold today.”
Grandma May walked to the balcony and shivered from the cold wind. She hurriedly retreated inside. “It finally feels like winter in
Wiltspoon.”
Zachary did not speak.
When the hot cocoa was ready, he came out of the kitchen and went into his room.

Serenity had just woken up, but she was still lying in bed with a blank expression.
A large and slightly cold hand felt her face, pinching it softly, and in his low voice, Zachary said, “Why are you spacing out?”
Serenity grabbed his hand and pinched the back of it harshly.
“Serenity!”
He let out a low shout.
She pinched him with all her might.
“Does it hurt?”
“Do you think I’m an iron wall who can’t feel pain?”
“No, I thought I was dreaming, so I pinched you. Now I believe that this is reality after hearing your cry of pain. I slept in your bed
again last night.”
Zachary was speechless.
‘If she suspected that she was dreaming, why didn‘t she pinch herself instead?
She‘ll only know she’s not dreaming if she herself feels the pain. Why did she pinch me then, and so hard at that?‘
