Mrs. Lane smiled when she saw Serenity eat with such enthusiasm. As she watched, she suddenly felt hungry as well. She stopped looking at Zachary and started to eat with gusto.
While Mrs. Lane brought the dishes to the kitchen to wash them after the meal, Serenity pulled up a chair and slowly walked to Zachary.
Zachary instantly straightened up like a defensive hedgehog.
The difference this time was, he was not guarding against her. Instead, he was nervous and had no idea what his wife wanted to do to him.
“Mr. York, we have a guest room, but there’s no bed. After we pick Sonny up later, we’ll send Mrs. Lane and Sonny back to the store. We’ll have to go and buy a bed and sheets for her since we can’t let her sleep on the floor.”
The hedgehog’s quills flattened at once.
“You're the lady of the house. You can arrange it however you like.”
Zachary had an important meeting this morning and could not spare the time to accompany Serenity to buy the beddings.
“Have you run out of the ten thousand I gave you previously? When I get to the office later, I’ll use a computer to transfer some money to the living-expenses card. Although we hired Mrs. Lane as a nanny to take care of Sonny, we can’t treat her poorly. Buy a higher-quality bed and cabinet. Don’t feel bad about spending the money.”
“I haven’t used up the money, so you don’t have to transfer more. There’s enough money left to buy the furniture for Mrs. Lane. Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of person who would abuse the nanny.”
Serenity’s face reddened a bit when he mentioned the living-expenses bank card.
When they were having a cold war, she was in a bad mood and went out on a mad shopping spree. She swiped the card used for living expenses and spent quite a lot of his money.
Serenity decided to use her own money later when she went shopping as a way to make up for her act of abusing the living-expenses card.
In a family, both the husband and wife had to contribute.
She would not take advantage of him, and he would not scheme against her.
They coexisted peacefully and respected each other like a guest.
Zachary’s face was gentle, but his eyes were like a bottomless and unfathomable pit when he looked at her.
However, not a word came from him.
Serenity was used to his habit of staring at her silently.
In fact, she would find it abnormal if he spoke more.
