Chapter 756
Chapter 757
Zachary did not linger in Annenburg after departing from FC Manor. He returned to Wiltspoon on the same day, choosing not to inform Serenity of his flight in order to surprise her with his arrival.
During his journey, Zachary reflected on Ben’s advice.
Ben had suggested that he be honest with Serenity about everything.
Elisa’s feelings should not factor into his decision.
It was Elisa’s issue that she loved Zachary; he had never flirted with her.
God knew how long it would take for Zachary to reveal his true identity to Serenity if he waited for Elisa to move on, as Clive had mentioned.
Moreover, Elisa meant nothing to Zachary.
Why should he heed Clive’s counsel?
Eventually, a fallout between Serenity and Elisa was inevitable. There was no way to avoid it.
Zachary needed to choose a special day when Serenity was happy to disclose who he really was…
“Jim,” Zachary called out gravely.
“Sir,” Jim responded respectfully, ready for Mr. Zachary’s instructions.
“What days are considered special p>
Jim was puzzled.
What did Mr. Zachary mean by special?
How special was he referring to?
After considering it, he asked for clarification, “Special in what way, Sir p>
“Um… What days are significant for lovers? Something memorable that brings joy p>
At that point, Jim understood that Mr. Zachary was speaking about the missus.
He replied, “Wedding anniversaries, birthdays, and Valentine’s Day are occasions that lovers typically celebrate p>
Jim then added, “Sir, I don’t have a girlfriend or any experience in this area, so I hope I’m correct p>
Zachary shot him a glance. “What? Are you trying to recruit my help in finding a girlfriend p>
“Sir,” he said. It wasn’t as if Mr. Zachary could simply ask him to find a girlfriend. It was actually Old Mrs. York who had assisted Mr. Zachary in leaving behind his single life.
“Wedding anniversary…” Zachary murmured to himself. When had he and Serenity obtained their marriage license? The details eluded him at the moment.
Uh-oh. Zachary couldn’t even recall their wedding anniversary. He needed to retrieve the marriage license from the safe when he got home to confirm the date. He planned to engrave it in his memory so he would never forget it again. That date marked the day he and Serenity tied the knot.
Zachary also had no idea when Serenity’s birthday was. Uh-oh again. He professed his love for Serenity, yet he didn’t even know the day she was born. He had caught a glimpse of her birthdate when they were applying for the marriage license, but he hadn’t deemed it necessary to remember. However, he was confident he had saved her birthdate somewhere in his phone.
Zachary quickly checked his phone for Serenity’s birthday and found it—it was in September. That felt like a long wait to be honest about everything. While he couldn’t recall the exact date of their marriage, he was certain it was somewhere in October. That meant their wedding anniversary was an even longer wait.
Should he consider Valentine’s Day instead? It was fast approaching.
“Sir, your wedding anniversary is on the 10th of October,” he was informed.
