Serenity said she wanted to go to the beach for some fresh air, so her wish was Zachary’s command.
Of course, he could not bring her to the Seaview Villa.
Fortunately, during this season, the beach was not as busy as it was in the summer at this hour. There were only a few tourists scattered around the beach.
The couple walked on the soft sand while the waves crashed onto the shore. The sea breeze messed up Serenity’s hair and she was feeling chilly.
Zachary suddenly stopped in his tracks, so Serenity followed suit and asked him, “What’s wrong?”
He took off his suit jacket and handed it to Serenity. “It’s quite windy today. You should wear my jacket.”
Seeing that Serenity did not take the jacket from him, Zachary continued, “Are you gonna put it on yourself, or do you want me to help you?”
Serenity had no choice but to take his jacket and put it on. She asked, “Aren’t you cold?”
“I am, but I’m more afraid that you’ll catch a cold.”
Serenity looked at him and laughed, “Mr. York, your answer is different from the ones on TV shows. The male lead will usually say, ‘No, I’m not cold. You can wear it.’”
Of course, his answer was honest.
“If I’d known that the sea breeze was so strong and chilly, I wouldn’t have requested to come here.”
Serenity put on his jacket and instantly felt warm.
She tilted her head to look at him, and he happened to be looking at her. Their eyes met, and he said, “Although I feel cold, I won’t shrink up like you. I’m wearing a long-sleeve shirt, anyway. It’s definitely warmer than your short-sleeve blouse.”
“Well, now that you mention it, I feel less guilty.”
Zachary pursed his lips and said, “If you’re worried that I’ll catch a cold, you can hug me. That way, I can feel your warmth and won’t feel cold anymore.”
Serenity almost choked on her saliva.
Was he flirting with her?
Seeing that Serenity was silent, Zachary knew she would not hug him, so he continued walking forward.
