Chapter 174

Josh would be the first to quit and stay as far away as possible if Zachary were interested in

men.

Problem with his manhood?

Zachary had not fallen head over heels for Serenity. Well, he would show her once he took a fancy toher and consummate the marriage!

It took a while before Zachary got up and made an abrupt exit to his room. He slammed the doorbehind him.

The loud bang was a reflection of his foul mood.

Serenity waited until he closed his bedroom door before getting up. She picked up the paper, crumpledit into a ball, and tossed it into the bin while mumbling under her breath, “It was a good thing I thought itthrough. Otherwise, I’d have lost to him.”novelbin

The lesson today was not to make a bet before getting full intel on the opponent. There was a risk ofthings blowing up in her face.

As for her proposal of a wager and her sudden change of heart, Serenity was not concerned at all. Itwas normal to back out of a deal since they had not signed a contract.

While humming a tune, Serenity turned off the living room lights and returned to her little haven. Shesprawled on the bed to play on her phone before washing up and turning in for the night.

The following morning, Serenity rout pproached her window and withdrew the heavy curtains. With thewindow pushed open, a chill crept into her room. Shivering in the cold, she quickly closed the windows.

By the looks of the gray sky, it was going to rain.

The earlier chill announced the drop in temperature.

Since Wiltspoon and Annenburg were in the same region, the weather was roughly the same. It wascold in the mornings and nights during late fall and early winter. Once the sun rose, so would thetemperature. It would be warm then.

The temperature drop along with the rain was only a reminder to the people that it was time to layer upwith a thin jacket.

Serenity stretched and went to brush her teeth. She then changed out of her pajamas and went fromher bedroom to the kitchen to make Zachary a pasta dish. That was his request yesterday. Opening thefridge door, Serenity realized that they were out of fresh produce. The milk was barely enough. Shealso ran out of cheese which was essential for any pasta dish.

Serenity decided to make a quick run to the market.

She exited the kitchen as Zachary came out of his room. Dressed in a blue tracksuit and sneakers,Zachary looked like he was going for a run.

“It’s a little chilly today. It’s likely to rain too. Are you going out for a run? Don’t forget to bring along anumbrella, so you don’t get soaked.”

Seeing that Serenity was carrying her purse that contained her phone and keys, he asked, “Are yougoing to the market?”

“Our fridge is running low on inventory. I’m going to get groceries from the market. Do you want tocome along? You can run to the market and back.”

Considering the distance between Brynfield and the market, Zachary shook his head. “I’m just going tojog around the neighborhood. You can get groceries from the nearby supermarket. There’s no need togo to the market.”

Serenity responded to Zachary while making her way out, “The supermarket prices are more expensivethan in the market. We can’t just spend extravagantly. We must be budget conscious.”

Zachary had no words as he stared at her back.

“The allowance I gave you should be enough for us to live comfortably. Don’t be too frugal. You got totreat yourself. What’s the point of earning money? It’s so we can eat better, have better clothes, andlive life without reservation.”

Serenity stopped outside the door and waited for Zachary to come out before closing and locking thefront door. She then replied, “Be grateful that you married a wife who is budget conscious and carefulnot to splurge. Do you think you can afford me if I waste a few hundred thousand dollars on a bag?”

Patting Zachary on the chest, she added. “Consider yourself lucky, pal. You got a good thing going on.”

Zachary was speechless.
