It then dawned on Zachary the differences between various levels of independence.
If Serenity did not have a job, she would end up like Liberty before her divorce, relying on Zachary’s financial support, which he might eventually grow weary of.
Unlike his mother, Serenity did not transition from one wealthy family to another. Even without a job, his mother had financial independence through profits from her family trust fund and inheritance.
Tania once mentioned that her parents were concerned she might struggle with her in-laws after marrying Zachary’s father, the heir to the York family. To alleviate their worries, her parents named her one of the primary beneficiaries of the family inheritance.
Zachary’s mother owned a company that evolved into a publicly traded corporation over the years. She now managed a business that generated billions in revenue.
Suddenly, Zachary understood why Serenity sought independence and time to integrate into his social circle.
Serenity smiled. “I can take care of myself. You should, too p>
It had been a long time since Zachary had seen her smile.
Her smile tempted him to reach out and caress her face. Concealing his deep longing behind his eyes, Zachary spoke in a husky tone, “Seren, your smile is the ray of sunshine that melts my cold heart p>
With no one else in the elevator, he pulled Serenity and Sonny into his arms. Sonny found himself sandwiched in between, his head pressed against Zachary’s chest. Zachary quickly captured Serenity’s red lips with his own.
As their lips met, Zachary sighed.
The urge to kiss her had been overwhelming.
Unfortunately, Sonny disrupted the moment before he could deepen the kiss.
Squished in the middle, Sonny struggled to breathe and fought until Zachary finally released him.
Zachary adopted an innocent expression, acting as if nothing had occurred while he held Sonny and asked, “What’s wrong, Sonny p>
Sonny gazed at his uncle-in-law’s serious face. He opened his mouth several times but couldn’t find the words. The expression on Sonny’s face greatly amused Zachary.
With a warm smile, he kissed Sonny’s cheeks and said, “I really like you, Sonny p>
Zachary imagined he would be smiling in his sleep if he and Serenity had a son as adorable as Sonny.
Of course, having a daughter would also be wonderful.
“Seren, have you had your checkup recently p>
Zachary’s mind drifted back to their passionate night after New Year, and he wondered if Serenity might be pregnant.
Although they hadn’t discussed their issues, both knew their marriage was still strained, with Serenity living with her sister.
Zachary believed that if Serenity were to become pregnant, it would be a sign that God was on his side.
The child could serve as a turning point for their relationship.
“I’m healthy. I usually get a health examination once a year p>
Serenity was unaware of the underlying implication.
“When do you typically go for a checkup p>
“During the summer holidays. Business is slow then, so I schedule my health screening when I have free time. It doesn’t interfere with making money p>
Zachary was left speechless.
It was March, and if she were pregnant, her belly would likely begin to show by summer.
He didn’t want to wait that long.
However, he couldn’t outright tell Serenity to take a pregnancy test.
As they spoke, the elevator took them to the first floor.
When the doors opened, Serenity quickly exited, carrying her nephew.
Zachary hurried to follow her.
The employees of Wiltspoon…
The hotel observed as the CEO’s wife walked ahead, carrying a child in her arms, while the CEO followed closely behind, resembling a shadow.
