Struck by a thought, Zachary flipped the lights on and hurried to Serenity’s bedroom. He flung the door
open and looked at the unchanged décor. Her things were still around.
He examined her closet and found a few pieces of clothing missing. Her suitcase was still beside the
wardrobe. She did not take all her things with her.
Zachary sighed heavily with relief.
He was so afraid of losing someone for the first time ever.
Sitting on Serenity’s bed, Zachary brushed his fingers along her sheets as if he could feel her through
her belongings.
“Seren…”
He murmured her name.
“I’ll prove to you through my actions that you won’t hear another lie from me again!
“You can ignore me for a year if I ever do anything to deceive or hurt you. Um… year’s a bit long.
Maybe three months.”
After much thought, Zachary believed he would go crazy from three months of no interaction with
Serenity. He mumbled to himself, “I think a week is fine. I lost my mind when you didn’t talk to me for a
day. A week would push me over the edge. I think it’s a hard enough punishment.”
Serenity would be speechless if she were there now.
Zachary stayed in her room for a while before going out to close the main door. He did not lock the
house in case Serenity woke up in the middle of the night from the cold and missed his warm embrace.
She might just come running home to him.
Of course, it was all wishful thinking and could hardly become a reality.
Even if Serenity was willing to talk to him, their relationship could not possibly go back to where it once
was right away.
That night, Zachary slept in Serenity’s bedroom.
It was a quiet night.
The following morning, Serenity got up early to make her sister and nephew breakfast just like when
she was still staying with her sister. After breakfast, Serenity grabbed her car keys and phone and went
out the door.
She had to return to the shop today and rush her orders out. Her clients were already asking for
updates.
Heartbreak was no big deal. It could not come in the way of her making money.
A day was good enough for her to let out all her bad feelings.
Since it was early, traffic was pretty decent.
Serenity brisked through traffic all the way to Wiltspoon School.
Pulling up outside the shop, Serenity got out of the car and saw Mr. Charles standing outside his shop
with a plate in hand. He greeted her with a wave and a smile.
“Morning, Mr. Charles. Having breakfast, are you?”
“Good morning, Serenity. I just had mine. Have you had yours?”
“I came after breakfast. I thought you’d only open for business on the first day of school.”
Mr. Charles replied with a grin, “The school term starts the day after tomorrow. We came early to tidy
up the place and prepare for the students‘ return.”
Still holding the plate, Mr. Charles drew close and added, “I thought you’d be close for business.”
Mr. Charles and the rest of the neighbors were aware that Serenity was Mrs. York. Mr. Charles even
told his wife smugly, “I told you Serenity is destined for riches and will move up in life, but you said I
was full of baloney.”
Unable to stand her husband’s gloating, Mrs. Charles snapped back, “Why don’t you tell my fortune if
you’re so good at it? When will I hit the jackpot and get a new husband?
“You might as well become a fortune teller or psychic. I bet business will be booming, better than our
shop here.”
Mr. Charles replied hesitantly, “It’s just a hobby.”
Anyway, he was right about Serenity. He would be entitled to bragging rights for a long time.
Even Jasmine would welcome a life of wealth and privilege. However, her family was well–off, to begin
with, so there was not much of a reversal of fortune for her, unlike Serenity who went from rags to
riches.
