Chapter 996
Zachary: [So late? Did you manage to walk in the stilettos?]
Serenity was stunned and asked: [How did you know I was wearing stilettos?]
She was wearing flats when she left the bookstore.
Zachary replied honestly: [Elisa took a video of you walking and sent it to me. Thank you, Seren. You’re really working hard.]
[Thank you for willing to try to fit into my circle for my sake.]
Serenity was a laid-back person and usually dressed for comfort. However, she was changing for him. The hardships she had to face broke his heart, yet he was grateful for it.

Serenity: [So Elisa betrayed me. I must have looked funny walking in heels. I keep wanting to throw them away. Sandals are way more comfortable.]
The people in Wiltspoon usually walked around in sandals.
[We met Mr. Johnson and invited him to sit down, so we left a little later.]
Serenity answered her husband’s earlier question.
Zachary was a little surprised and asked: [How did you meet Mr. Johnson?]
Serenity: [He bought the large villa next to Aunt Audrey’s house. We bumped into him while he brought an interior designer to look at the house, so Elisa invited him in for tea.
After all, they’ll be neighbors in the future.]
The couple communicated through text, so Serenity boldly told her husband her speculation.
[Zachary, I think Mr. Johnson bought the Zimmers’ villa because he wants to be neighbors with Elisa.]
When her hand was injured and Elisa accompanied her to the hospital for an IV drip, Remy was there too because of a bad stomach.
Remy had been cradling his stomach weakly, but the moment he saw Elisa, he immediately straightened up, raised his head, and pretended to be fine.
It was because he did not want Elisa to see him so listless.
He cared about what Elisa thought of him.
Back then, Serenity already thought Remy was interested in Elisa. However, Elisa had just given up on Zachary, so she did not dare ask questions and simply watched silently
from the side.
Now, Remy bought the Zimmers’ villa and became neighbors with the Stones.
Serenity could not help but speculate that it was because Remy was preparing for the future.

Zachary was not interested in who Elisa ended up with as long as she stopped pestering him.
He replied to his beloved wife: [Remy is a good man.]
“Seren, who are you texting? Your phone is vibrating nonstop.”
Elisa suddenly leaned over, and Serenity quickly said, “It’s nothing. I’m just chatting with Zachary and asking what he was doing.”
Hearing that Serenity was messaging Zachary, Elisa sat upright and teased, “You two just made up, and you’re already showing off your love in front of us. You’ll make us
jealous if you keep acting all lovey-dovey.”
Audrey and Serenity said in unison, “If you’re jealous, then hurry up and find a boyfriend.”
Elisa was speechless. She forgot that her mother was also in the car.
