After all, Duncan started noticing Liberty only because of Zachary.
Zachary and Serenity suddenly got married, and Liberty became Zachary’s sister-in-law. For his friend’s sake, Duncan undercharged Liberty for the repair fee when she scratched his car.
He knew that his friends had misunderstood him for having a crush on Liberty.
However, he could not be bothered to offer an explanation. The more he tried to do so, the more suspicious he would appear; he would come off as defensive.
When the men joined, Zachary ordered two bottles of wine. Duncan did not drink because he had to drive later while Josh and Zachary drank a little without getting themselves drunk.
After their meal, everyone was ready to leave when Josh suddenly said, “Zachary, Duncan, how am I supposed to go home? I can’t drive ’cause I drank.”
Duncan knew in an instant that Josh was doing this on purpose because the latter wanted Jasmine to bring him home.
“I’m busy, so I’ll leave first,” Duncan quickly said and slipped away.
Zachary chimed in, “I also drank and can’t send you back, Mr. Bucham. Ms. Sox, can I trouble you to send Mr. Bucham home?”
Serenity was just about to say that she would call a substitute driver for Josh, but she quickly swallowed her words.
She was their matchmaker, so she had to create opportunities for Josh.
In the end, Jasmine sent Josh home.
When Serenity and Zachary returned to their home in Brynfield, they found that Mrs. Lane was not around. Serenity was just about to call her when Zachary said, “I gave Mrs. Lane the night off so we can have a good time alone.”
As he spoke, he walked behind Serenity and wrapped his arms around her waist. He took her into his embrace, lowered his head to bury into her neck, and whispered, “Seren, call me Babe.
“I like it when you call me that.”
Serenity’s neck felt sore, and she wanted to push him away, but he refused to let go. She could only say, “Stop that, I’m ticklish.”
Zachary deliberately kissed her cheeks, earlobes, and neck. His feather-light kisses were intoxicating Serenity.
She could not stand being teased by him like this. It was unbearable.
