Zachary smiled lovingly and embraced her tightly.
He felt like the luckiest man in the world to get to call himself her husband.
It did not take long before Serenity fell asleep.
After ensuring that she was asleep, Zachary took off his suit jacket and threw it over her, careful to not wake her up.
“Take us back to the hilltop villa,” Zachary instructed the driver in a low voice.
The driver nodded dutifully.
With that, Zachary leaned against the backseat of the car with his beloved wife in his arms. He closed his eyes and got some rest.
By the time they arrived at the villa, he had fallen asleep as well.
The driver stopped the car, then he turned around and peeked at Zachary and Serenity who were both sleeping soundly in the backseat. He turned to Jim in the passenger seat and asked, “Jim, should we wake Mr. Zachary and Missus up?”
Jim immediately remarked, “Of course. Are you going to just let them sleep in the car for the night? If you do that, you’ll be out of a job when they wake up tomorrow.”
The driver chuckled and beckoned, “Alright, Jim, why don’t you wake them up.”
“You’re the driver, I am just a bodyguard.”
“Mr. Zachary likes you more and gets on pretty well with you. And the missus is friendlier with you in general as well, isn’t she? I think it’s better that you wake them up. They probably won’t mind. They might get upset if I interrupt their sleep.”
Jim retorted, “Mr. Zachary only feels that way about me because I’ve always been very attentive and do the things he tells me to do. I had to keep up this image for a long time before I finally earned the missus’s trust.”
He had made a point of earning the missus’s trust for quite a while now.
Back then, it was Old Mr. and Old Mrs. York who ran things around the house. Things had changed since the missus showed up and he knew that if he was looking for a raise or a promotion, he had to make sure to earn the missus’s trust no matter what.
The Yorks had employed countless bodyguards, but the only bodyguard who the missus remembered by name was Jim. He considered it a medal for his efforts.
“Jim…”
“Alright, I’ll wake them up.”
Jim stopped bickering with the driver and proceeded to wake them in a bright voice, “Sir, we’ve arrived.”
Zachary barely budged.
