Chapter 1305
Serenity bent over to hold the cat up.
"Missus, you might want to sweet-talk Mr. Zachary. He hasn't eaten anything since he got up."
Mrs. Lane had no words for her boss's sudden tantrum.
She would not know Zachary had a childish side to him if she did not work here.
While stroking the cat, Serenity remarked, "Mrs. Lane, you must let me know why he's angry before I can calm him down. I didn't
do anything."
Mrs. Lane whispered, "I think Mr. Zachary is angry that you went out early in the morning. He must be hoping you would spend
time with him since he's home for the weekend."
Serenity replied, "I went to help my sister at her diner... Although it's the weekend, many factories are not closed. The workers
still went to work. My sister's breakfast place was going to be packed, so I left early to help her. But I came home early. I'm back
before ten o'clock.”
It did not cross her mind that Zachary would sulk over a trivial matter.
Mrs. Lane was at a loss for words.
"I'll go in and cheer him up."
Knowing what her man was like, Serenity helplessly carried the cat into the room.
It struck Mrs. Lane to remind Serenity from taking the cat into the room when Serenity walked through the door. Alas, it was too
late.
Mrs. Lane guessed it would only put Mr. Zachary in a worse mood.
Serenity set foot into the bedroom with the cat in her arms.
Zachary stood behind a window with his back facing the bedroom door.
He did not turn around when the door was pushed open.
Serenity drew close and stood next to him, admiring the view outside the window with him. She asked, "What are you looking
at?"
Tilting his head, Zachary moved his gaze to her, only to find she was holding a cat. He furrowed his brows and made a sharp
turn to take strides away from the window.
"Babe."
Serenity followed right behind him.
"You were still sleeping when I got up. I thought I should let you sleep in since you're always busy with work. That was why I
didn't wake you. I didn't go anywhere. I just went to help my sister.
"I thought you might wake up at this hour, so I hurried home. It’s still busy at my sister's diner. I didn't want you to wake up
without me by your side. I rushed home."
Serenity did not stop walking when she tried to explain.
Zachary stopped, turned around, and locked eyes with her. He asked, "Do you love me, Serenity?"
It had been a while since he addressed her by her name. He would usually call her "Seren".
Serenity moaned in her mind. 'Don't tell me he's kicking up a fuss with me because of this?'
Still, she took no time to consider an answer. "I do. I love you, Zachary. I love you."
Her quick reply softened the hard edges across his face. Still, he kept a straight face and said in a hurt voice, "Do you really love
me though? Why can't you remember that I hate furry animals if you love me? You even carried it into my room."
Serenity was speechless.
She lowered her head for a look. "Oh!"
Embarrassed, she said, "I'm sorry, Zachary. I forgot I have the cat in my arms. I’ll carry it out right away. Don’t worry. I have been
holding it the whole time, so the fur will only be stuck to me. I promise you no furs in your room.”
She quickly carried the ragdoll out of there.
Despite the cat being beautiful and cute, Zachary could not warm up to the furry little thing. He even questioned her love
because she brought the cat into the bedroom.
Sigh.
After bringing the ragdoll out, Serenity put the cat on the ground, got up, and said to Mrs. Lane, "Why didn't you warn me that I
was still holding the cat, Mrs. Lane? Your boss can be so anal. He's already having a fit, but now he's questioning whether my
love for him is true just because I brought the cat in."
