“Go back to the room and change out of your dress.
Zachary wanted to pick Serenity up as he spoke, but she stopped him.
“I can walk.”
Serenity stood up. Her legs felt much better after Zachary’s massage.
“Seren, you won’t even give me the chance to perform. I want to train my arm
strength. Carrying you around is a good way of training.”
Serenity pinched his face lightly. “What do you mean you want to train your arm
strength? You work out every day. Let’s go to sleep already.”
“I’ll draw the bath for you.”

her. Then, he brought her pajamas so she could sleep comfortably after soaking

Zachary kissed her back. “Good night. Sweet dreams.”
“I rarely have nightmares.”
Serenity lay down and habitually snuggled into his arms.
Zachary embraced his beloved wife and slept in contentment.

Tania, who was far away in Wildridge Manor, received a call from a person she
had played cards with several times before.

“Don’t you know that your daughter-in-law went to the Dowling family’s banquet
last night? She went with Mrs. Stone instead of accompanying her mother-inlaw. Do you two not get along?
“I didn’t go to the Dowlings’ banquet, but if you ask me, the Dowlings’ status isn’t

Camryn to drink. In the end, she made Ms. Carrie drink the wine instead.
“Soon after that, Ms. Carrie said that she was feeling hot and tried to undress.
Mrs. Newman was heartbroken and furious. She probably hates your daughterin-law’s guts out now. Everyone

but that’s between the sisters. It’s no wonder your daughter-in-law offended Mrs.
Newman with her meddling.”
