Zachary said without inflection, “I don’t remember anymore. She hasn’t shown up before me as of late.”
“You don’t remember?”
“Do I have to? I don’t like her, so what’s the point of remembering? If I did remember and you got jealous, what should I do then? You’re the person I’m going to spend the rest of my life with, so I only need to remember you. To me, all other women are just passersby. I probably couldn’t even remember what they looked like even if they stood in front of me.”
Zachary was very much indifferent to women and was naturally unappreciative.
In this life, he would not fall for another woman except Serenity.
Serenity laughed, saying, “I won’t get mad and I won’t get jealous either. You don’t have to be so defensive.”
“I’m really not being defensive. I’m telling the truth. Other than my relatives, you’re the only one I care about. I don’t care about anyone else.”
“Then we’re even. Shawn Lowe may admire me but you have an admirer too.”
Zachary wanted to say that Shawn Lowe was much inferior to Elisa Stone who had the resolution to give up when she said she would, but he swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
It was probably because Shawn Lowe was young, so he took love seriously.
To add to that, he had had a crush on Serenity for many years and could not give up so easily in such a short amount of time.
The couple meandered along the streets as they held hands. As Serenity had said, the streets were not as bustling and crowded as they used to be. No matter if it was the number of people or cars, it was indeed much fewer.
They were not the only ones on the streets as others had also come out for a walk after dinner with the current quietness in mind.
The husband and wife talked as they walked, discussing anything at all, although most of the time, Serenity was the one speaking as Zachary listened.
After strolling for more than an hour, they returned home.
Zachary took advantage of the time Serenity was in the shower to sneak out to the balcony and call Josh. When Josh picked up, he said in a low voice, “Josh, help me contact Mr. Lowe and get him to wait for me at the Wiltspoon Hotel. I’ll go over later to have a chat with him.”
