Chapter 3923

Zachary only had eyes for Serenity. He did not fancy any woman other than her. While Zachary did scold Austin badly, he would not actually distance himself from his brother. After all, he only had one biological brother. However, Zachary decided that he would never say another word about Austin’s love life. If Austin were to look for him to talk again, Zachary would only lend an ear to his issues. It had been exasperating. “Alright. You’re twenty-seven. You can think for yourself. You shouldn’t tell me about your love journey in the future though. What do you take me for? You all come looking for me whenever you face problems. Am I a love advisor? “None of you can replicate my love story with Seren, so don’t tell me anything from now on.” Austin smiled sheepishly. He knew Zachary’s anger had not completely subsided. He quickly asked after Serenity and the unborn baby to change the topic, which softened Zachary’s tone. After some time, their call finally ended. Austin sighed a breath of relief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Despite the long distance, and through a phone call at that, angering Zachary had caused Austin to panic. He slapped his mouth several times and thought, ‘Who told you not to think before you speak? Zachary won’t be my love advisor anymore because of this.’ Indeed, Zachary still had some anger remaining in him. If Austin had been right in front of him, he would have given him a good kick. At that moment, Serenity entered the room. She got tired after chatting with the elders and decided to retire for the night. Upon entering the room, she spotted Zachary with a cold and angry expression. Serenity closed the door and walked over to him. She bent over to get close. Then, Zachary wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into an embrace. Before she knew it, she was already comfortable in his hold after he adjusted her position. Although Zachary’s movements were sudden and strong, he took care to protect Serenity’s baby bump. Even when hugging her, his large palms had been supporting the bump throughout. Serenity wanted to look at him. However, he hugged her tightly and whispered, “Don’t move, honey. Let me hug you properly.” Serenity stopped moving and relaxed comfortably in his embrace. Winters in Wiltspoon were not cold, so they did not turn on the heater or close the windows. Zachary loved leaving the windows open during winter. He said the cold air could not enter if the windows were closed. If that happened, he would not be able to feel that winter was arriving. Nevertheless, Zachary liked sharing his warmth with Serenity by hugging her. He had a big build with plenty of body heat. Being in his embrace felt like having a mini heater behind her back. Serenity almost suspected whether Zachary was leaving the windows open on purpose to let the cold air enter. That way, she would have to snuggle up to him for warmth. Zachary rested his chin on her shoulder. “Seren. “I love you.” Serenity reached backward and patted his head. She smiled. “What’s wrong with you tonight? “You looked angry when I came in just now. Who angered you?”
