“You chose such great timing. We’re just about to eat.”
While speaking, Serenity opened the gate of the villa for Zachary.
Zachary said shamelessly, “I’m here to sponge food off you.”
Serenity replied with a friendly sneer, “I feel really sorry for you.”
He shamelessly came to the Stones to sponge food off them for Serenity’s sake.
It would be a lie to say that he was calm. Serenity knew that when she was angry at him for lying to her, he was silently changing his ways for her.
Zachary stared at her deeply and said affectionately, “I’ll show respect for those you care about. I’ll be wherever you are without any fear.”
“Don’t make it seem as though my aunt’s house is frightening. She’s very nice.
“By the way, Elisa is at home too.”
Serenity reminded Zachary.
Undoubtedly, she would not misunderstand Zachary for having feelings for Elisa. As he said, he did not accept Elisa’s love or promise her anything. It was Elisa’s own decision to be interested in him and pursue him. This had nothing to do with Zachary. Furthermore, Elisa had the freedom to do so.
Serenity was worried Zachary would feel awkward.
“Oh.”
Elisa’s presence did not stop Zachary from walking into the house afterward.
When Zachary and Serenity walked in together, he asked Serenity, “What does Aunt Audrey like?
“I have no idea what she likes, so I casually bought some tonics.”
Serenity took a glimpse of the things held by Jim and the chauffeur before she said, “My aunt has everything. What matters is that you follow the etiquette rules.”
Zachary laughed. “You actually treat your aunt as your elder. This is my first time paying a visit, so I hope to do my best.”
