Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 127
A lot of people were taking a stroll in the neighborhood. Most of them were parents bringing their children out for walks while
others included young couples holding hands intimately.
Despite seeing how affectionate other couples were, Serenity and Zachary just walked side by side, without taking the initiative
to extend their hand to the other.
However , many people turned to look at them because they were a good-looking couple.
Finally, Serenity stopped by a children’s playground and said to the man beside her, “Let’s sit here to watch the kids play.”
Serenity liked children.
She loved her nephew, Sonny.
Zachary did not speak and followed her silently to sit on a stone bench.
“If Sonny was here, he’d definitely have a good time.”
Zachary hummed in response.
Serenity tilted her head to look at him. Zachary felt weird that she was looking at him like that, so he asked her defensively, “Why
are you looking at me like this?”
“You look exquisitely handsome, so I thought of soothing my eyes by taking a good look at you.”
Zachary was rendered speechless.
“Mr. York, you’re good-looking and capable, which means you have really good genes. If you have children in
the future, they’ll definitely be smart.”
“You want to have children with me?”
Serenity laughed. “Nana kept saying I should just jump your bones so she could have a great-granddaughter.”
Hearing this, Zachary quietly moved his butt to pull away from Serenity.

Serenity did not notice this subtle movement and continued, “I know you don’t have feelings for me. I don’t have feelings for you
either, so we’re just a couple without any foundation of love. Even if I were to jump you, it wouldn’t feel right as we don’t share
any emotional attachment. It’ll be more like hiring a gigolo. All that’s left is to pay you for your service.”
Zactiary was at a loss for words.
“We won’t have children. Let Nana urge Callum and the rest,” she added.
“Would they not have children?” Zachary pondered.
He tell uncomfortable when he heard what Serenity had to say about having kids, but he did not refute her and
pursed his lips.
“Mr. York, do you suspect that I’m a conniving woman?”
‘Can you be any more direct?’ Zachary thought sarcastically and remained silent.
“Actually, I did have a motive in marrying you, Mr. York. It’s because you have a house. If I marry you, I can move in and live with
you for free. That way, I can save on rent.”
“I know.”
That was why he did not have a good first impression of her. Zachary married her reluctantly because of his Nana.
“You knew?” Serenity tilted her head to look at him again with admiration in her eyes. “You’re really smart, Mr. York. Your eyes
are so sharp that it makes me feel like you can read my thoughts when you look at me like that.”
Zachary looked at her and said, “I can’t read your thoughts, so I don’t know why you’re talking about this now.”
“There’s no reason for it. I just thought that we don’t talk very often. You won’t take the initiative to chat either, so I have to find a
common topic to talk about to reduce the awkwardness.”
