Serenity took the fancy-looking bags from Zachary and asked in glee, “What are these?”
Taking his seat on the sofa, Zachary replied with a smile, “Well, why don’t you take a look inside?”
He removed the lid of the food container and dug into his wife’s specially-made dinner.
Serenity took a look and responded with a grin, “Skincare products. You’re giving me a lot more than Elisa has bought me.”
The guy had been jealous. He did not like her using the skincare products given by Elisa and insisted that she should only use
the ones he would give her. However, Zachary had not given her any.
Taking it as a passing remark, Serenity continued using Elisa’s skincare products. They worked well for her skin and were better
than the products she used before anyway. Serenity must admit that women should not skimp in terms of skincare.
“I’ll buy all the skincare products for you.”
Zachary had no idea about the brands used by women as skincare products were not something he had ever bought for women
before. He asked his mother in private and took a few of his mother’s suggestions.
He believed that his mother would recommend only the best since his mother had always been living a life of the privileged.
Serenity was the apple of his eye, so she only deserved the best.
She smiled and uttered, “Alright. You can buy skincare products for me.”
“Seren, do you want to have some food together?”
“It’s okay. I only made enough for one person. I wanted to invite Callum when I saw him just now, but you wouldn’t have had
enough if Callum stayed for dinner too. It was a good thing Callum left.”
If Callum was here, he would argue that he was pushed out of there.
Acting like nothing ever happened, Zachary remarked, “He knows better than to be a third wheel.”
Serenity burst into laughter.
Feeling chirpy as Zachary ate with gusto, Serenity brought up her run-in with Carrie again during her visit to Camryn’s shop.
“Camryn is really blind. She’s not acting.
“She said she lost her sight following an illness. She was lucky to survive. Her aunt has been taking her to the hospital to
examine her eyes, but no doctors could treat them.
“Ms. Carrie is a devil. I have never met a sister like her.”
Serenity had a good relationship with her sister growing up, so it was hard to swallow when she witnessed Carrie’s treatment of
Camryn.
The sisters were like enemies.
Carrie even said that Camryn was her personal amusement since she was not kicked out of the Newman family.
Zachary nonchalantly remarked, “That’s her business. Callum should learn more about her and dig into her history. The best we
can do is watch. We shouldn’t interfere.”
“But Callum isn’t doing anything though.”
Serenity was anxious for something to happen and be done.
She suddenly felt herself in Grandma May’s shoes. Grandma May had a lot of grandsons, and every one of them was an elite in
their own right. Nevertheless, her grandsons seemed to be out of luck when it came to love, and Grandma May was desperate to
push them in the right direction.
“Nana gave them a year. Why should we feel anxious when they aren’t pressed for time? No matter the progress, Nana will get
what she wants. There’s no stopping Nana once she sets her mind on something.”
Zachary had a pretty good understanding of his nana since the old lady raised him to be a successor to the family business.
“That’s true. We’ll just wait and see how everything turns out. I think things will be interesting for Callum and Kevin. It’s easy to
catch on to Callum’s love story since he’s here. Kevin is too far away. By the time we catch wind of anything, Kevin would
probably be bringing Mr. Queen home to meet the parents.
“Oh, I mean, Ms. Queen.”
Hayden’s disguise as a man left a deep impression on Serenity. She looked so cool.
Besides, Hayden introduced herself as the heir of the Queens in Jensburg. Serenity wondered how Grandma May saw through
Hayden’s disguise.
