Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 692
Zachary would usually take his Rolls Royce, but the chauffeur drove the sedan back to the old residence and was on standby
during his business trip.
“Your company’s parking lot is like a car show. You can see an array of cars here.”
Serenity commented as she got into the car. She saw many luxury sedans.
“We have a lot of senior executives in the office. People tend to get better cars when their incomes are high. No man can resist
cars. Well, you know I prefer properties to cars. The value will only increase with time.”
Serenity would not take Zachary’s word for it if she knew the cars in his garage could rival a car exhibition.
“Men love cars, and women love properties. You can make a home out of a house.”
Serenity had been saving up to buy a house. The car she had was a gift from Zachary.
Her usual mode of transportation to work was her e–bike.
“Have you texted your sister?”
“I sent her a text, but I haven’t received a reply. She must be occupied with something. Jasmine mentioned that my sister has
been busy. She lost quite a bit of weight too. Ten pounds in a week. I think my sister could be in a weight loss ad.”
Liberty was a good example of determination to shed ten pounds in seven days.
Serenity looked forward to the day her sister would reach her weight goal. She bet her sister’s transformation would give Hank
something to feel sorry about.
“Liberty is strong–willed. She’ll lose weight since she puts her mind to it.”
“Yeah,” Serenity answered.
Serenity had never been to Regent Residences. The rich community was not an area she ever kept her eye on.
Since entering the residential area, Serenity had her eyes glued to the window as she looked at the view.

Zachary’s villa was on the hilltop. By hilltop, it was more like the top of a hillock.
There were about five villas on the hilltop, the one that took up the most square footage was the biggest villa around there.
“Which is yours?” Serenity asked the man beside her.
“The most hidden one. It was slightly cheaper than the rest because of its remote. location. I enjoy the peace and quiet. I won’t
be bothered by neighbors if the property is further away.”
Serenity believed every word he said.
He did enjoy the peace and quiet.
Several minutes later, Zachary pulled up at the gate of the villa that was on the very end.
Serenity watched as he stopped the car and was ready to remove the car keys to open the gate. The house keys were strung
together with his car keys.
“Is there anyone at home?”
“No. I lived alone in the house before I married you.”
Serenity was speechless.
She thought he would invite his parents and nana to live together in such a big house.
It never occurred to her that he would live by himself.
It was likely that his parents did not want to stay with him. Serenity understood that many elders did not like living in a bustling
city. They preferred to remain in the family home as it was their comfort space. They were surrounded by familiar neighbors
whereas, in the city, people barely knew their neighbors.
