Female Novel
Chapter 2980
“The alcohol smell isn’t that strong and even thunder can’t wake me when I’m asleep. You don’t have to
resort to spending the night in the study,” Serenity said as she took Zachary’s hand that was on her
stomach.
“I’ve showered and drank two glasses of water as well as chewed two pieces of gum to get rid of some
of the alcohol smell.”
After a pause, he added, “And Austin said that I was reeking of alcohol.”novelbin
Serenity grumbled a little about her brother-in-law.
If Austin could hear her, he would swear that he was telling the truth.
The moment Zachary opened his mouth, he could smell the alcohol. It indeed was strong and besides,
Zachary himself had said that he was worried the smell would affect Serenity.
“He was waiting for you. Did he manage to catch you?” Serenity asked.
Zachary hummed in confirmation. “He said he wants to go to Satbury. The O’Connors are looking for a
private chef and he wants to apply for it.
“Nana has chosen Isabella O’Connor, their eldest daughter, for Austin.”
“I know. The moment Mom told me about this I guessed that Nana had picked someone out for Austin.”
Zachary chuckled. “My wife is so smart.”
“I’ve never been stupid.”
“That’s true. My wife has always been very clever.”
He would not have fallen for her if she had been stupid.
“The people Nana picked for the rest are living quite far away.”
Only Camryn and herself were Wiltspoonians.
After a moment of thought, Zachary said, “When you put it like that, it looks like Callum and I are
Nana’s favorites because she picked Wiltspoonians for us.”
He gave Serenity a few more pecks after he said this.
He truly wanted to take his beloved wife to bed.
For the sake of Lil’ Bun though, he would do his best to endure.
“Where are Dylan’s and Peter’s future brides from?”
“No idea. They didn’t tell me either, but they aren’t Wiltspoonians for sure. They haven’t been in
Wiltspoon much lately, after all.”
Zachary walked out of the study with an arm around Serenity.
He walked her back to the room and said gently, “Daybreak is still a long way off, Seren. You should
sleep for a while more. They’ll take care of their matters themselves. As long as they don’t ask us for
help, we’ll just pretend we don’t know anything and wait for them to bring their brides back to greet us.”
Serenity laughed. “I’m not worried about them. I wouldn’t worry about that when we have Nana to worry
about it.”
If Serenity took Grandma May’s job and the old lady got bored, her grandchildren would suffer instead.
She loved messing with her grandchildren.
That included Zachary, but how could Serenity bear to let Grandma May mess with Zachary?
Was it not obvious with the way their elders did not try to take Grandma May’s job and just let her be?
All they had to do was sit and wait for their future daughters-in-law to come to them.
Apart from the younger few, the engagement and bridal gifts of the rest would have already been
prepared by their parents early on.
All the parents were waiting for was their sons’ announcement to propose to their future brides and
they could finally bring their generous gifts to attend the grand engagement party.
“That’s right. Nana’s around to worry about it, so just leave it to her.”
Zachary walked into the bedroom with his arm around his wife and the couple sat down on the bed.
“You should go back to sleep. I’ll head back to the study.”
Serenity looked at him.
Zachary whispered something into her ear.
After a moment of silence, Serenity said, “Actually, it’s fine as long as we’re careful.”
“We’ve been looking forward to this child for a year. I won’t allow any slip-ups.”
“I just drank a little, which makes me a little impulsive. It’s fine if we sleep separately.”
Serenity pushed him away.
Amused, she said, “You’re afraid you’ll be impulsive, but you’re still teasing me?”
Did he think her flame would not be stoked?
To avoid making it difficult for everyone.
