Chapter 840
“Honey.”
When the door opened, Serenity saw Zachary’s handsome face, which immediately broke into a charming smile.
On most days, however, he wore a stern expression and rarely smiled, making Serenity suspect that his smile might be insincere.
“Honey, I’ve brought your change of clothes,” he said, handing her two sets: one pair of pajamas and an outfit for the next day.
“Let me bring them inside for you, alright?”
Serenity wouldn’t let him enter the room. After taking the clothes, she stepped back and firmly shut the door, locking it from the inside.
Zachary was left speechless.
Instead of leaving, he stood by the door, contemplating when Serenity would unlock it and come looking for him.
Sure enough, two minutes later, he heard the sound of the door unlocking. He immediately straightened up and put on a bright smile.
As soon as Serenity opened the door, he beamed and gently asked, “Honey, is there anything else you need? Just let me know. I’ll be here to serve you tonight.”
“I need two more shirts and some daily necessities. Please bring them to me.”
Zachary quickly replied, “Alright! Just a moment. I’ll get them for you right away.”
He then turned and hurried off.
After a brief wait, he returned with a bag of daily essentials. “Honey, check this out and tell me if you need anything else. Just let me know, and I’ll get it for you immediately.”
Serenity casually inspected the bag and found that it contained everything she needed. Once again, she retreated, preparing to close the door.
“Honey.”
Serenity refused to close the door. Rubbing his hands together, he said sheepishly, “Honey, even though the New Year has passed and spring is here, a cold front is moving in from the south. The temperature has dropped significantly, and it’s especially chilly. There’s no heater in the guest room, so if you sleep alone, you’ll definitely feel the cold.”
“I have another excellent function: providing warmth. I promise I won’t take advantage of you. I’m just here to keep you warm.”
Serenity felt exasperated; that man was utterly shameless.
“Honey, let me come inside and be your warmer. The room is spacious, and even if you close the windows, it will still be cold. This is when I can be of service as your warmer.”
“No need!”
Serenity commanded, “Withdraw your leg, or I’ll close the door, and you’ll end up with a crushed leg. Then I can look down on you openly!”
“Honey.”
“Stop calling me Honey. Who do you think your Honey is? I’m just a materialistic girl who is interested in your wealth and status. I wouldn’t have married you if you were poor and unattractive.”
Heartbroken, Zachary replied, “Seren, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have hidden the truth from you for so long. Don’t talk about yourself like that. You’re the best woman in the world. You’re one of a kind to me…”
“You liar! Doesn’t your face hurt from all the lies? You’ve been lying and getting slapped for it. Who would trust you? Let me be clear: I won’t believe anything you say from now on!”
