Love at First Novel

Chapter 3631

In the next room, Serenity waited until Sonny left before saying some kind words to Zachary. Zachary said, “Honey, you and Sonny stay at Johnson’s house, have fun, and don’t worry about anything. When I’m done, I’ll come pick you both up and take you home.” Serenity replied, “You look tired. You should get some good rest and delegate tasks to others. Don’t try to do everything yourself—it’s exhausting. Just because you’re young doesn’t mean you can keep staying up late. It will age you prematurely and harm your health, increasing the risk of something serious happening.” She added, “Zachary, remember, you’re not just a man anymore. You’re going to be a father. The baby and I are waiting for you to come back home.” Zachary smiled gently, “I know, honey. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful and take care of myself. I didn’t say it before, but now, I’ll definitely think about you and the baby. Just relax and wait for me to pick you and Sonny up to celebrate the New Year.” Serenity looked at him for a moment and then said, “You should go to bed early. From now on, don’t call me after 10:30 p.m. It’s not that it disrupts my sleep, but it’s affecting your rest. You’re tired, staying up late, and waking up early. You’re not getting enough sleep. I’ve noticed you don’t seem as energetic as before. Sometimes you don’t even shave, and you look older.” Zachary instinctively touched his chin, feeling the stubble. He hadn’t shaved recently. He then touched his face again and asked his beloved wife over the video call, “Honey, do I really look old? I’m only in my early thirties—am I aging? I’ve always taken care of myself and used men’s skincare products regularly. Do I have gray hair? Am I aging prematurely? You’ll have to take good care of me when I get back.” Serenity smiled, “I’m just teasing. You’re still so handsome, you could charm a truckload of girls. You’re the kind of handsome guy everyone loves. No gray hair. I’ll take care of you when you come back. Mom made some nourishing soup for me; you can share it with me. But it seems like you’ve lost a little weight since your business trip. You gained two pounds from all that soup, but now you’ve lost it again.” Zachary touched his waist and belly, still satisfied with his fit, model-like physique.

“Don’t get too fat, just stay as you are. If you get too fat, you’ll lose your looks, and I might not like that. Being fat can ruin everything. My body will change after giving birth, and I might gain some weight. I just hope you won’t dislike me then. But how could I dislike you unless you become a 300- pound man? Then I might have second thoughts.” Zachary smiled, “To me, you’ll always be the most beautiful. In the eyes of a lover, every woman is a beauty. You’re not just my wife—you’re my lover. You’re my one and only, so to me, you’ll always be beautiful. I’ll also take care of myself, stay handsome, and keep my gentlemanly demeanor, so no one will dare to covet you or try to take you from me.” Serenity smiled, “Who would try to take me from you? It seems like you don’t have any rivals. In Wiltspoon, everyone knows I’m your wife, and they know you, Zachary, are not someone to mess with. Only a man with nothing better to do and a desire for bankruptcy would dare look at me twice.” “Who would dare covet my wife?” Zachary immediately said, full of confidence.
