Cupid's Arrow Hit On Me novel (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 83

Tilting her head, Serenity stared at Zachary as he met her gaze.

The couple looked into each other’s eyes.

A long while later, Zachary flicked her forehead. “Don’t look at me like that. Are you doubting the authenticity of my words? Serenity, we’ll go to bat for your sister so long as she’s in the right.”

The Yorks held their family values in high regard. The husbands and wives had nothing but love for each other. Growing up, Zachary had never witnessed a case of domestic violence.

Dad said that men who abused their wives were losers!

“Mr. York.”

“Yes?”

Serenity probed and asked, “I want to lean on your shoulder.”

Zachary hesitated.

“Just for a while. I won’t cross the line,” Serenity said while her head was a step ahead, leaning forward and finding its spot against his shoulder.

Serenity could feel his body stiffening. Although it was also a strange feeling to her, Serenity needed companionship right now.

It felt great to have a shoulder to lean on!

It took a while for Zachary’s tensed muscles to relax. Although he was not fond of the abrupt invasion of his space, Zachary did not push her away. The only thing was he did not know where to put his arms. His awkward placement amused her.

Serenity suddenly reached out to touch his face.

Zachary jolted away.

It was a good thing Serenity braced herself for his reaction. Otherwise, she would have tumbled from the swing by his sudden flight.

“Serenity!”

With a solemn face, Zachary said, “Please keep our agreement in mind, and know your place.”
