Cupid's Arrow Hit On Me novel (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 84

Zachary was speechless.

He refused to budge from a stare-down before saying faintly, “It’s late. Get some early rest. Don’t fall asleep here again. It’s chilly at night. You’ll feel the pain when you catch a cold.”

Zachary then turned on his heel and left.

Soon, Serenity picked up on his door closing and locking.

Serenity murmured with glee, “Who is he trying to keep out by locking the door?”

It was her who Zachary was trying to keep out!

Back in his room, Zachary went straight to the bathroom, but not for a bath. He stood in front of the mirror and stared at his reflection. Judging by the faint blush, he did turn red on the face.

Lifting his hand, he traced his facial lines and rubbed the spot Serenity touched while searching for the tingles he got back when her fingers ran along his face.

He turned on the tap and washed his face.

Thinking back on his reaction, Zachary smiled and mumbled to himself, “I’ve never let anyone touch my face for as long as I can remember.”

Now that he had reached adulthood, his stern and aloof personality warded anyone off from invading his personal space. Besides, it was hard for young women to approach Zachary through his wall of bodyguards. There was no chance anyone could throw themselves at him or take liberties with Zachary.

Despite the impenetrable defense, Zachary dropped the ball on that one woman at home.

Serenity defiled the innocence of his face. Yet, she was his legal wife. It was not like he could do anything to her after she violated his face. Plus, his response was ridiculed in return.

Zachary took his time in the shower. Reminded by the woman on the balcony, he opened his bedroom door and put his foot forward before shrinking back into the room. He was giving the cheeky girl a free peep show if he were to walk out bare-chested without his dressing gown on.

A few minutes later, Zachary confidently took strides out of the room after he put on his dressing gown and tucked everything under, making sure nothing was showing. He went to the balcony to check on the woman.

Well, he might catch her asleep on the swing.

As expected, the girl had dozed off there.

Zachary was caught between emotions, especially after he told her not to fall asleep there.
