“That‘s hard to say. I’ll be back once my work there is done.” “Let me know when’s your trip. I’ll help you pack and drive you to the airport.” Since Serenity did not have a change of clothes in his bedroom, she intended to return to her room to get dressed and wash up. With Serenity about to leave, Zachary reached out to pull her back. His dark eyes were fixed on her beautiful face. “That‘s it?” Serenity was without a word.
She blinked, unable to get the message he was trying to convey.
What else if not that? Was he expecting her to see him off at the city he was conducting business in? “Can family tag along too?” Zachary was twitching by the corners of his mouth. “Since I can‘t go with you, is it not enough that I‘ll drive you to the airport?” Zachary’s hand over hers loosened.
Serenity stared at his hand and uttered with a frown, “I thought you had been slick with your words lately, but you lost it now. You just keep me guessing by leaving things hanging. I‘m not smart enough to read your mind. “I‘m going to change out of my pajamas. Are we going out for breakfast or having it at home?” Serenity asked while walking out. “You can decide.” Detecting the grumpiness in his tone, Serenity stopped at the bedroom door and looked back at him before opening the door and leaving. As Serenity came face-to-face with Grandma May, she wished the old face a good morning like nothing ever happened. “Good morning, Nana.” “Morning.” Grandma May watched happily as Serenity came out of her grandson’s bedroom, Although the couple did nothing, at least they were sleeping in the same bed. This was progress. They ended up having breakfast at home. Serenity made the grandmother and grandson a simple breakfast. Ring, ring, ring… Serenity’s phone rang.
Thinking it was her sister, Serenity grabbed her phone and looked at the display screen. It was an unfamiliar number.
She grimaced. Any foreign number that showed up on her phone basically belonged to her unscrupulous relatives. Since Elisa stood up for her the last time, these people had called it quits for a while. What were they up to now that they were calling her again? With no desire to take the call, Serenity rejected it.
They dialed her number once more. She cut the call.
