Chapter 1116
The clock struck nine.
There were two more hours before the event ended.
Yet, Zachary had come all this way to take his wife home.
Mr. Jefferson smiled and said, “It’s nice that you dropped by, Mr. York. It’s my mother’s eightieth birthday. Can we
have the honor of you joining us at the party?”
Without replying to Mr. Jefferson, Zachary uttered in a low voice, “Jim.”
Jim stepped forward with a gift in his hands.
Zachary said, “I’m sorry to bother you. This is a little gift for the birthday girl. I wish nothing but happiness and
longevity to your mother.”
Although Zachary did not attend the celebration, he was giving Old Mrs. Jefferson all due respect by preparing a
gift.
Jim handed the present to Mr. Jefferson. He accepted the gift and thanked Zachary profusely.

Seeing that Zachary had no intentions of coming in, Mr. Jefferson did not insist and told the maid to fetch Serenity.
Mr. Jefferson did not have to do so as Zachary’s arrival stirred a huge commotion. Serenity, who was enjoying the
food in a corner, was startled. After finding out that Zachary was here, she put down her cutleries and told Elisa
that she would check out what was going on.
“Zachary.”
Coming out of the corner, Serenity realized that it was Zachary. She called his name and had to stop herself from
running when it dawned on her that she was wearing killer stilettos.
Zachary feasted his eyes on her. He had to admit that Serenity was a stunner on those heels. She was like a
princess, straight out of a fairy tale with her evening gown, light make- up, and jewelry.
He carried a deadpan face in front of Mr. Jefferson and the others. However, the second his gaze fell on Serenity,
his tensed facial muscles softened into a smile. Zachary only had eyes for her.
“Seren.”
Carrying the bouquet of roses, Zachary brushed past Mr. Jefferson and headed straight to his princess.
“Why are you here?” Serenity asked.
Zachary presented her with the flowers and uttered tenderly, “I had the flower bought from Spring Blossoms.”
Serenity would be happy to know that Zachary supported Camryn’s business.
With Serenity accepting the bouquet, he remarked in a husky voice, “I’m here to take you
home.”
Lifting her chin, Serenity looked at him and said with a smile, “It’s early. It’s only nine
o’clock.”
Zachary stared deeply into her eyes without a word.
Serenity blinked. Her promise to him jumped into mind. 1
She was speechless.
“I need to let Aunt Audrey and Elisa know.”
Since he was holding her to her word, Serenity had to make it happen.
Affection was written all over his eyes as he held her hand and brought her to the car. Zachary uttered, “We can
leave the message with Mr. Jefferson. He’ll relay it to your aunt

Serenity amusedly and speechlessly stared at him.
She whispered a promise in his ear the other day, and now he came early to pick her up at
the Jeffersons’ residence.
Serenity hoped she would be able to get up in time for work tomorrow.
“We’re heading off, Mr. Jefferson. Please let Mrs. Stone know that I’m taking Seren home.”
“Alright.”
The person who answered was Mrs. Stone.
Mrs. Stone and a few ladies were standing not too far away as they watched the scene
unfold.
“I got to go, Aunt Audrey.”
Mrs. Stone showed understanding, nodding her head with a smile.
Serenity felt embarrassed.
It was a shame that her man was shameless. As the public watched on, he led her into the
car and shut the door, stopping the people from prying further.
