“Seren, are Mrs. Stone’s and your DNA test results nearly out?”
Zachary decisively changed the subject to end the gossip about himself.
He was only flaunting his relationship to announce his marriage on Facebook. It never crossed his mind that it would bring about a stir that occupied his wife’s day with gossip.
“Elisa said they’ll collect the results tomorrow.”
“Oh.” Zachary quickly added, “You’ll meet them again if the results show you’re related to Mrs. Stone. I might not be able to go with you to the Stones’ house. I’m going away on business tomorrow.”
Serenity picked her head up to meet his eyes. “I thought you didn’t have to do business trips.”
Zachary stared at her in silence.
He knew it; she looked forward to him leaving soon.
Zachary was scared that she would forget who he was when he returned from his trip.
“Have you booked the flight yet? What time is the flight? I’ll drive you to the airport.
“I’ll get up early tomorrow to pack for you.”
Serenity believed she was rather considerate to pack his things and see him off at the airport for his business trip.
“I’m taking the 10:35 AM flight. No need to drive me to the airport. I need to head to the office to pick up some paperwork before leaving with a colleague. The company arranged for an airport transfer.”
“Oh.” That would save her the trouble.
“Send me a text message when you get the DNA test results. I’ll be busy during the trip, so I’ll only have time late at night to read the messages. I won’t miss your messages.”
“Okay. I’ll text you when I get the results.”
