Serenity and Zachary York



Austin said, "Nana has chosen someone for me. Unlike Dylan, I don't have someone else I love. Since Isabella will be my wife, it's only natural that I protect her.

"Didn't Nana choose a picky eater as my wife because I like cooking? We're a good match because she enjoys eating too. Besides, how can I improve my cooking skills if no one critiques my food?"

Zachary chuckled. "You're right. That was exactly what Nana thought when she selected a picky woman for you. Since Isabella brought you along on her business trip, it means she trusts you. If you take good care of her and let her notice your strengths, it should be easier for you to court her."

"I'm not in charge of anything aside from her meals. There's no need to rush. We've only known each other for a few days. I haven't even developed feelings for her."

There was no love at first sight for Austin with Isabella.

After learning that she was the candidate Nana had selected for him, he unconsciously viewed her as his wife and acted like a doting husband. It was a characteristic of all York men.

"Will you be back for New Year's Eve?"

"I guess not. If Isabella needs me on a business trip, what will she do if I were to return home?"

Austin sounded helpless. However, he was secretly enjoying it.

After a short silence, Zachary said, "You should've gone there after New Year's Day."

"I wouldn't have become Isabella's private chef if I came here that late. I'll leave Mom and Dad in your and Serenity's care while I'm not home this New Year's Day, Zachary."

"You're coming back for Callum's wedding, right?"

"Of course. Aren't Callum's and Kevin's weddings scheduled for next year?"

The weddings were initially planned for sometime after New Year's Day. However, Camryn and Hayden said they were too busy and postponed the weddings to March. They would get married when the weather was just nice.

"Yeah. You can return early. Ask if Isabella is willing to come with you as well."

March was not far away.

Austin could not guarantee anything. He probably had not even developed feelings for Isabella by March.noveldrama

Without love, Isabella most likely would not return home with him.

"Dylan sent me a message, Zachary. You should go rest, don't stay up too late. I'll ask Dylan something."

Zachary replied, "You have to wake up early and prepare breakfast for Isabella. You should go to bed soon.” The siblings ended their conversation.

Zachary lingered on the balcony and looked into the distance. Everything within his line of sight belonged to him.

Zachary and Serenity lived in a huge villa. The balcony could only offer a view of their territory. They would have to head to the top floor to look beyond the villa's area.

He returned to the bedroom after ten minutes or so.

After thinking, he exited the room and went to the children's room next door.

Sonny had kicked his blanket away. His body was curled into a ball. Although he was cold, he did not look for his blanket.

Serenity was worried Sonny might catch a cold from kicking his blanket off at night, so she put two layers of clothes on him and closed the window. However, the children's room was big. Even if the windows were closed, the room was still chilly.

"There he goes kicking his blanket off again."

Zachary covered Sonny with the blanket and adjusted his sleeping position.

He sat by Sonny's bedside and caressed his face. He truly treated Sonny as his son.

Zachary bent over and pecked Sonny on the cheek. After that, he took a remote control and turned on the heater.

That way, Sonny would not catch a cold even if he was not covered with the blanket.

After Zachary was done, he finally returned to his bedroom and fell asleep with his wife in his arms.
