Zachary quietly looked at Serenity.
He had not seen her for two days and suddenly felt that he liked seeing her face.
The couple stared at each other.
In the end, Serenity broke the silence. “Wash your hands and help me bring the dishes out. They’re ready to serve.”
Zachary neither refused nor explicitly agreed. He pursed his thin lips and asked in a low voice, “Why did you buy so much seafood?”
That was because he did not receive any notice of expenditure from the bank.
Did Serenity buy all the seafood from her own pockets?
Although they were at an impasse, Zachary still felt that it was his duty as a husband to support the family.
“How much did they cost? I’ll transfer the money to you later. I agreed to pay for the living expenses.”
Serenity turned to look at the seafood feast she prepared. She then smiled and explained, “It didn’t cost a cent. Ms. Stone brought these back from her beach vacation and gave me aplenty. When you send Nana home later, you can bring some back to your parents. They’re all very fresh.”
Zachary’s handsome face twitched slightly.
It turned out Elisa was the one who gave Serenity all these.
Elisa and Serenity were supposed to be love rivals, but because Zachary had deliberately concealed his identity, the two ladies seemed to have some interaction. It seemed that they were even becoming good friends.
“We shouldn’t receive gifts for no reason. Ms. Stone gave you so much seafood, so we shouldn’t owe her a favor. I’ll transfer some money to you. Buy something for Ms. Stone and consider it a return gift for all the seafood.”
In short, Zachary just wanted to transfer money to Serenity.
That was because the couple deleted each other’s WhatsApp.
He did not want to admit to it by taking the initiative to add Serenity back, so he decided to transfer her some money.
As long as Serenity was willing to accept his money transfer, she would have to give him her account number. That way, he could openly add his wife on WhatsApp without shame.
Serenity did not think as much as Zachary and downright rejected Zachary’s offer. She said, “Ms. Stone and I are already friends, so don’t mind the courtesy. If I’m calculative with her, she’ll be angry and think that I’m looking down on her.
“Also, I taught Ms. Stone a trick, so Ms. Stone giving me all this seafood can be considered payment for me being her relationship consultant.”
