Chapter 773
Jim had only walked for a few minutes before he received a call from Zachary.
“Jim, come back. We need your help again to move stuff. This time, the things have to be moved to the eighth floor. There are
quite a few things too, so the moving fee... Seren, how much should we give Jim?”
Zachary pulled the phone away as he asked Serenity.
Serenity looked at all the gifts her aunt had sent over. It was too much, even if half of them were her sister’s. It would take some
time for Jim to move all of them alone, so she said, “Ask Jim to come back first. He can take a look and name a price.”
After dealing with him a few times, she felt she was now pretty familiar with Jim. It would be embarrassing if she gave him too
little for the moving fee, but it would be a loss to give him too much as well, so she simply decided to get Jim to name a fee.
Jim looked like an honest and trustworthy person and did not seem like he would charge an astronomical amount.
“Alright. Jim, just come over first.”
“Sure!” Jim happily replied. He would be able to get a few hundred bucks allowance out of his boss once again!
Half an hour later.
“Seren, I haven’t eaten yet,” Zachary said as he closed the door.
After Jim finished moving the gifts into Serenity’s place, he sent Liberty and Sonny home and while at it, helped to move Liberty’s
portion of gifts from Mrs. Stone up her
apartment.
As for the moving fee, Zachary had paid for it in advance.
It was pretty good. Ever since Jim had come back from Annenburg with his boss, he had managed to earn quite a bit of
allowance from him.
Serenity was still in the middle of organizing the gifts from her aunt when she heard him say that. She instinctively replied, “I
haven’t eaten either. I trawled the supermarket for hours. Luckily, you came back, or else I’d be super tired after moving all those
things upstairs.”
That was because she would not have thought of asking Jim for help.
If Jim could hear her thoughts, he would agree, “If the boss had not returned, he
would not have been able to help either.”
“If you need help with anything in the future, just let Jim know. He’s reliable and he charges reasonably. He does everything
competently, too. I’ll go make dinner.”
Zachary thought that his esteemed wife would cook a delicious meal for him upon. his return from his business trip.
Now, seeing his wife busily organizing the things before her, he resigned himself to
the kitchen.
As he did so, he took off his suit jacket and placed it on the sofa. He then unbuttoned the cuffs of his sleeves and rolled them up.
“You were wearing just a jacket and a shirt?”
Zachary’s movements paused and he said, “I don’t feel cold.”
“The weather gets colder and it rains more over the new year. It’s pretty cold out. You should wear a few more layers unless you
still want to get jabbed with long needles every day. I won’t care then. I won’t say anything even if you go naked.”
Zachary was at a loss for words.
“I bought new clothes for you. They’ve already been dry–cleaned. They’re in your
dresser.”
A smile spread across Zachary’s face immediately. “Seren, you’re so good to me.”
“If I go shopping with my sister and don’t buy at least a few sets of new clothes for you, she’ll nag me. In my sister’s eyes, you’re
more favored than her own sister.”
Zachary walked over to Serenity and bent down. His handsome face approached hers and his warm lips covered hers.
Serenity instinctively pushed him away and chided him, “Be serious. Don’t just kiss me without warning.”
Just as she finished her sentence, she pulled him back and forwardly kissed his thin lips.
The difference was, this kiss was a little frenzied and dazed her, unconsciously
making her craving more.
Her man did as she wished and picked her up to head into the bedroom.
“Zachary...”
“Call me Babe.”
Serenity laughed and sweetly called him “Babe“.
They did
say absence makes the heart grow fonder.
The husband and wife proceeded to experience the frenzy of reunion.
In the end, the only person who came out of the room was Zachary.
He entered the kitchen in great spirits, humming as he began to prepare a sumptuous dinner for his beloved wife.
