“What’s wrong?” Zachary saw Serenity staring at the flower pots and said warmly, “If you like them, let’s take a few pots back and keep them on the balcony.” “Zachary.” Serenity turned to him and asked, “Back then, I asked you to buy flowers from the florist. Did you buy them at the flower shop or have they been sent over from here?” There was no need to hide the truth anymore, so Zachary admitted honestly, “I called Sam and asked him to arrange for someone to send some potted flowers over. I know you like large flowers with complicated petals, so I specifically asked them to pick those flowers and send them over.” “No wonder I always felt that the flowers you bought were more beautiful than the ones I bought. It’s because they’re a variety carefully cultivated by your gardener.” The flowers here were much better than the ones found in flower shops.
“Are you angry, honey?” “What’s there to be angry about? The time to be angry has already passed.” Zachary stood in front of the gardener and wrapped an arm around Serenity’s shoulder, turning her to walk out of the greenhouse. He deliberately lowered his voice, probably because he did not want the gardener to hear his words.
“I was terrified back then, I was so afraid that I’d lose you.” Serenity pinched his face and let him go.
“The house appliances I told you to buy were probably also sent by Sam, weren’t they?” “Yes, Sam sent the appliances over when you weren’t at home.” Serenity laughed wryly. “It must have been really hard on you when you were lying to me.” “I promise I won’t lie to you again in the future. I really had a tough time. I had to rack my brains to keep covering my tracks, but the lies only snowballed.” “I thought you lied so much that it became your nature.” Zachary let out a low chuckle. In the end, his lies really became natural Wildridge Manor was enormous. Due to time constraints, the eldest missus of the York family, could not finish strolling around the manor on her first visit.
Liberty’s breakfast diner would be opening tomorrow, so the lady herself declined the York family’s offer for her to stay Liberty once again got into Duncan’s car and left the manor to return to the city.
Serenity and Zachary stayed at the manor for the night.
Like Liberty, Elisa and the others left after having dinner.
