“You! Certainly.”
“Doesn’t that make me the matchmaker?”
Josh thought about it and answered, “Yes.”
“I’m giving you my bank details so you can send me a little token of appreciation for matching you two
together. Come on, I’m not going to give you money as a wedding gift, I have better things in mind than
something as impersonal as money. However, for my part, I would like some money because I am
shallow. Consider it a thank–you gesture for my role as the matchmaker.”
Josh was struck speechless.
Serenity had transformed Zachary into a man who kept checks and balances even when it came to his
interpersonal relationships.
This banquet continued well into midnight.
In the past, Zachary would only show up for ten to fifteen minutes at most, just as a formality. After that,
he would immediately excuse himself. Tonight was an exception. He waited until the banquet was over
before leaving with his beloved wife. His actions were a testament to the love and affection he had for
his wife.
This also served as a public affirmation of Serenity’s position in the family. The rumors that she was not
getting along with her mother–in–law were proven false, and the tales people spun about her having a
tense relationship with the family were completely inaccurate.
The Yorks elders doted on her like they were her daughter, and the other members of the family
respected her as much as they did Zachary.
The set of jewelry she wore tonight to complement her outfit was a gift from her mother–in–law. Anyone
with an eye for jewelry could tell that it was an exotic piece that was worth hundreds of millions–why
would Tania even splurge so much on her daughter–in–law if she did not like her?
After tonight, the rumors circulating Wiltspoon about Serenity’s tense relationship with her husband’s
family were completely debunked.
Serenity, the one who was at the center of these rumors could hardly be bothered about such talks. It
had hardly crossed her mind at all for as far as she was concerned, she was just attending an ordinary
banquet with her dear husband.
After Zachary took her into the car, she tilted her body sideways to lean against Zachary and began
mumbling, “I’m not drunk…”
Zachary playfully pinched the tip of her well–shaped nose and told her, “Look at you, you’re drinking
like you are completely immune to alcohol. If your sister finds out, she’s going to lecture me about not
keeping an eye on you again.”
Liberty had once told him to keep an eye on Serenity when she was drinking. She mentioned that
Serenity liked drinking but could never hold her alcohol; even a bottle of beer was enough to knock her
out.
She did manage to get some practice with Mrs. Stone and improved her alcohol tolerance slightly, but it
ended up bolstering her confidence disproportionately. When she was chatting with people about
potential future business deals, she ended up getting too much ahead of herself and drank. two more
glasses than she should have.
It was only a short ten–minute period when Zachary just happened to have his attention
somewhere else.
“Good wine, good wine…”
Serenity was still conscious enough to playfully slap Zachary’s hand away. She began mumbling
incoherently about the wine she drank.
Zachary chuckled and said, “Well, the wine was pretty good, but I don’t think you could handle all
that.”
He did not even take a sip of alcohol tonight, regardless of who came to give him a toast. He would tell
them that his wife did not like it when he drinks and that he did not want to reek of alcohol. Everyone
was very understanding and did not pressure him into drinking. They even complimented his devotion
to his wife.
What they did not say out loud was that they thought his wife was too controlling and that he was
a slave.
Zachary did not care what people had to say about him.
He made a point of not getting drunk because he knew that his duty was to take care of his now-
drunk wife.
Serenity could barely process Zachary’s lecture. She heard nothing but loose strings of words in her
head. She weakly pried her eyes open and took in the sight of the handsome face of her man before
mumbling, “Zachary, my head is spinning, I’m going to fall asleep.”
She raised her hand and brushed her fingers against Zachary’s face. She then put her hand on
Zachary’s chest, burying her weight into him before shutting her eyes. She babbled incoherently before
drifting off to sleep, “I’m going to sleep, I’m going to bed…”
“Remember to invite me if there’s good wine next time.”
Zachary teased her, “Did you forget that we have a collection of wine at home?”
Serenity was still muttering about something but Zachary could barely hear her at this point. If he had
to guess, she was probably complaining about him not letting her drink as much as she
wanted.
Just as Liberty said, Serenity was fond of drinking despite her poor alcohol tolerance. If Zachary let her
roam free in his wine cellar, chances were that she was going to get alcohol poisoning in
no time.
“I just need the vegetables to grow well, finding customers won’t be a problem…” Serenity said
suddenly when Zachary thought she had fallen asleep. She uttered this with a bright smile, looking as
beautiful as ever
With that, she stretched lazily in Zachary’s arms and wrapped her arms as tightly as she could around
him. Her eyes were shut the entire time and there was no way to tell if she was just talking
in her sleep, but she did giggle as she confessed, “Zachary, it’s wonderful being your wife… So
wonderful!”
