Chapter 1343
Zachary smiled lovingly and embraced her tightly.
He felt like the luckiest man in the world to get to call himself her husband.
It did not take long before Serenity fell asleep.
After ensuring that she was asleep, Zachary took off his suit jacket and threw it over her, careful to not wake her
up.
“Take us back to the hilltop villa,” Zachary instructed the driver in a low voice.
The driver nodded dutifully.
With that, Zachary leaned against the backseat of the car with his beloved wife in his arms. He closed his eyes and
got some rest.
By the time they arrived at the villa, he had fallen asleep as well.
The driver stopped the car, then he turned around and peeked at Zachary and Serenity who were both sleeping
soundly in the backseat. He turned to Jim in the passenger seat and asked, “Jim, should we wake Mr. Zachary and
Missus up?”
Jim immediately remarked, “Of course. Are you going to just let them sleep in the car for the night? If you do that,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou’ll be out of a job when they wake up tomorrow.”
The driver chuckled and beckoned, “Alright, Jim, why don’t you wake them up.”
“You’re the driver, I am just a bodyguard.”
“Mr. Zachary likes you more and gets on pretty well with you. And the missus is friendlier with you in general as
well, isn’t she? I think it’s better that you wake them up. They probably won’t mind. They might get upset if I
interrupt their sleep.”
Jim retorted, “Mr. Zachary only feels that way about me because I’ve always been very attentive and do the things
he tells me to do. I had to keep up this image for a long time before I finally earned the missus’s trust.”
He had made a point of earning the missus’s trust for quite a while now.
Back then, it was Old Mr. and Old Mrs. York who ran things around the house. Things had changed since the missus
showed up and he knew that if he was looking for a raise or a promotion, he had to make sure to earn the missus’s
trust no matter what.
The Yorks had employed countless bodyguards, but the only bodyguard who the missus remembered by name was
Jim. He considered it a medal for his efforts.
“Jim…”
“Alright, I’ll wake them up.”
Jim stopped bickering with the driver and proceeded to wake them in a bright voice, “Sir, we’ve arrived.”
Zachary barely budged.
Jim tried to wake hirn again.
Zachary seemed to be awake at last.
The driver suddenly chimed in, “Sir, we’re home.”
Jim threw a glance at him, the driver flashed a coy smile back at him.
Jim made no further comments, he understood that everyone was just looking out for what was best for themselves
at the end of the day.
After Zachary woke up, Jim and the driver got out of the car and opened the door for him.
Zachary did not attempt to wake Serenity. Besides, he doubted she would wake up since she was completely out
cold. She tended to fall into an eternal slumber whenever she drank and would not wake up even if there was a
raging thunderstorm outside.
He got out of the car with Serenity in his arms.
Sam the butler came out of the house and greeted him.
“Welcome back, sir.”
“Keep your voice down, she’s asleep,”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSam immediately zipped his lips upon hearing this before following Zachary into the house.
After entering the house, Zachary headed for the bedroom upstairs immediately with Serenity still sleeping in his
arms.
Sam waited until Zachary had gone up the stairway and gone out of sight before he turned around and headed
outside. He called over Jim who was just about to take a break and made sure to keep his voice down, “Did
anything happen to them at the banquet tonight?”
“Nothing unusual.”
“They did not get into a fight or anything like that, did they?”
Jim pointed out bluntly, “Sam, you’re not secretly hoping that they would get into a fight, right?” “You brat, I just
wanted clarification in case I say something I’m not supposed to say tomorrow.”
“No, they would never get into a fight. Have you seen how much Mr. Zachary pampers the
missus?”
Sam was relieved to hear this and told him, “This morning, the missus woke up earlier than usual to see her sister.
Mrs. Lane told me that when Mr. Zachary woke up to find the missus missing, he was rather upset.”
Mr. Zachary was a very loving husband toward the missus, but he could be overbearing at times.
