Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 481 Zachary went back to their little home with Serenity in his arms.
As soon as the door was open, the pet dog rushed over.
“Get out of the way!”
Zachary gave a hushed roar, and the little thing lay on the ground obediently, not daring to come any closer.
It knew that its male owner did not like it very much.
Fortunately, he did not abuse it or deprive it of food and water.
Ring ring ring.
Zachary‘s phone rang.
He was still carrying Serenity and could not spare a hand to answer the phone.
The phone stopped ringing.
It should be from Josh. Zachary instructed him to call every ten minutes so he would have an excuse to leave.
However, there was no need for that now.
Audrey and her daughter had already left Liberty‘s house.
He carried Serenity back to her room, placed her on the bed, and covered her with the quilt before calling Josh.
“You don‘t have to call anymore.”
“I don‘t? I was thinking about whether to spam you.”
Zachary‘s lips twitched.
“Have you eaten? Do you want to eat together?”
“No. Why aren‘t you asking Ms. Sox instead?”

“Wouldn‘t it be humiliating if she rejected me? We exchanged numbers after we met, but she didn‘t take the initiative to contact
me. I don‘t know what she thinks of me.”
Zachary paused before saying, “I can understand now why my nana feels disappointed in me.”
Josh was stumped, but he managed to ask, “So... Should I ask her out for a meal now?”
“It‘s up to you. Anyway, you have to be thick–skinned when chasing your wife.”
“Looks like you‘re pretty thick–skinned now.”
Zachary touched his face. “I haven‘t measured, so I don‘t know how thick it is.”
Tosh burst into laughter. “Serenity is definitely the woman I admire most in the world. There’s
no one like her!”
“Get lost!”
Zachary snapped at him and hung up the phone.
He sat down at the edge of Serenity‘s bed, quietly looking at her sleeping face. The lines on her face had loosened up. He
leaned down, pressed a kiss on her cheek, and whispered softly in her ear, “I admire you too, Serenity. You took half my soul
away so easily.”
He gently touched her face again. The tenderness in his eyes was undisguised.
After lingering for a good long while, he finally left her room.
Serenity slept until the evening and only woke up from hunger.
When she opened her eyes to see the familiar environment, she knew that she had fallen asleep in the car and was carried back
by Zachary.
Where was he?
The door was suddenly pushed open.
Zachary came in wearing a floral apron. It seemed like he had just been busy in the kitchen.

“You‘re awake?”
He walked over and asked in a warm voice. His eyes when he looked at her seemed to be able to steal her heart and soul.
How could she have thought that his eyes were sharp and cold in the past?
“What time is it now?”
“Six in the evening.”
“I slept that long?” She rubbed her stomach. “No wonder I feel hungry.”
Zachary gave her a comb for her to brush her hair and said, “You didn‘t eat at noon, so it‘s only natural you feel hungry.”
She slept soundly, so he did not wake her up for lunch.
“Did my sister call?”
“No, but I called Mrs. Lane. Sonny doesn’t have a fever anymore. He‘s just sleeping.”
Serenity was relieved. His care and attention to Sonny warmed her heart.
She could not help but like him more with each passing day.
Even if her feelings started from gratitude, the affection she felt for him was real.
“Do you want to shower before eating?”
“I’ll shower later. I’m staying at my sister’s place tonight.”
Zachary was silent.
Serenity leaned closer to him. Her eyes twinkled as she teased him, “Why? Can‘t bear for me to leave?»
