Chapter 489

Zachary took the breakfast that Jim packed and placed them on the dining table. He had secondthoughts and entered the kitchen again.

He was brewing hot cocoa for Serenity.

“I thought you made the breakfast yourself, but it turned out to be takeouts.”

A teasing voice came through and Zachary did not even need to look back to know that it was his nana,neither did he say anything.

“What are you making? It smells sweet and chocolatey.”

Grandma May walked into the kitchen, uncovered the saucepan, and took a look.

“I thought there was some progress.”

The old woman muttered and glanced at her grandson in disdain before turning to leave.

Zachary‘s handsome face tensed. He could not help but defend himself, “I tried very hard.”

There was originally a chance last night, but God played a trick on him.

“The heart. You have to go after the heart first. Didn‘t you see that all of Serenity‘s ten fingers are stillempty?”

Zachary was speechless.

He tried very hard to go after her heart.

He bought two wedding bands long ago, and he even wore his ring several times. However, it was justto make Elisa give up on him.

Serenity‘s ring was still with him since he had not given it to her.

“I have a pair of diamond rings that your grandfather bought when he was alive. We were supposed towear it as a couple, but your grandfather bought too many diamond rings. I can‘t wear all of them, so Ileft some of them in the jewelry vault.

“They‘ll just take up space if I leave them there, so I‘ll give them to you. Do as you please with thern.”

Grandma May‘s jewelry vault was full of treasures. The diamond ring that she always wore was herwedding ring. Although her husband gave her many more diamond rings, she still liked to wear the oneshe had when she got married.

“Thanks, Nana.”

Zachary was well aware that the jewelry in his grandmother‘s vault were better than those in the jewelrystores, with many being antique treasures.

Every husband and wife from his parents’ generation would receive a pair of diamond rings from Nana.

Now, it was the grandchildren’s turn. He was the first to receive a diamond ring from his

grandmother

He hoped that he could use the diamond ring presented to him by his grandmother to ensnare Serenityfor the rest of her life.

“Learn how to say sweet words. Everyone likes hearing nice words. Don’t keep wearing that tenseface. It‘ll make Serenity think that she owes you a fortune.”

Zachary was speechless.

“I‘m already old, but I still have to worry about your marriage. You‘ll be letting me down if you don‘tmake me a great–grandmother by next year.

“Even your grandfather had a headache when it came to your marriage when he was still alive.”

Zachary was exasperated and thought, ‘Am I that bad?‘

“It‘s quite cold today.”

Grandma May walked to the balcony and shivered from the cold wind. She hurriedly retreated inside. “Itfinally feels like winter in Wiltspoon.”

Zachary did not speak.

When the hot cocoa was ready, he came out of the kitchen and went into his room.

Serenity had just woken up, but she was still lying in bed with a blank expression.

A large and slightly cold hand felt her face, pinching it softly, and in his low voice, Zachary said, “Whyare you spacing out?”

Serenity grabbed his hand and pinched the back of it harshly.

“Serenity!”

He let out a low shout.

She pinched him with all her might.

“Does it hurt?”

“Do you think I’m an iron wall who can’t feel pain?”

“No, I thought I was dreaming, so I pinched you. Now I believe that this is reality after hearing your cryof pain. I slept in your bed again last night.”

Zachary was speechless.

‘If she suspected that she was dreaming, why didn‘t she pinch herself instead?

She‘ll only know she’s not dreaming if she herself feels the pain. Why did she pinch me then, and sohard at that?‘
