Chapter 48 The video sent by Nana suddenly came to Zachary‘s mind. Serenity was breathtaking whenshe was focused on making her crafts.

Still denying that fact, Zachary watched the video multiple times nonetheless. He was captivated by thecharm exuded by a confident woman at work. It was eye catching.

It was said that women with confidence were the prettiest.

All he saw was confidence in Serenity.

She was a strong and independent woman.

“I‘ve never known and will never know what jealousy is... Oh, you‘re up?”

Zachary was caught off guard by Serenity‘s sudden presence in the living room as she emerged fromthe balcony. While still on the line, Callum replied, “I‘m going to bed soon, but I thought of giving you acall before I turn in for the night.”

Zachary terminated the call.

Callum, “…”

Wincing his face, Zachary told her off, “The night breeze can be freezing. Careful not to catch a cold.”

“Interesting.”

Zachary blurted.

“Now that you‘ve seen the word, don‘t go around and say you have no clue of its definition. Peoplewould think that you‘re mentally challenged.” Zachary, “...”
