Chapter 485
After comforting Serenity, Grandma May yawned gracefully. She put down the TV remote control, got up, and said to the young couple, “I‘ll head in to rest up. I‘m old and can‘t stay up late.”
She took a few steps and stopped before turning around to ask Serenity, “Seren, should I bring your pillow out?”
Serenity smiled and said, “No need. There are pillows in the guest room for me.”
Grandma May glanced at her grandson twice, but did not say anything. She proceeded into Serenity‘s room.
By the time Serenity went in to take a shower, the old lady was already snoring loudly.
Serenity was speechless.
Ten minutes later.
She came out of the room in her pajamas. Just after closing the door, she saw her man in his robe, leaning against the door of his room with his arms across his chest.
“Not sleeping yet? You have to work tomorrow.”
Serenity casually said to him, pretending to not remember teasing him earlier. She walked past him toward the guest room.
However, when she pushed open the door to the guest room, she was dumbfounded.

“There‘s still money in the household expenses card you gave me.”
Serenity flipped over the marriage license to look at their wedding photo, which appeared very unnatural
“Look at your face back then. You‘re like an iceberg. I was worried I‘d freeze and turn into an ice sculpture after taking the wedding photos.”
Zachary sat down beside her and took a look at the photo on the license. “You weren‘t particularly enthusiastic either. The photographer kept telling you to lean closer, but you were frozen stiff. You didn‘t budge an inch.”
Serenity was speechless.
It was the pot calling the kettle black
“Seren, don‘t mention the agreement again. It‘s gone. Even if it wasn’t gone, I would have probably flushed it down the drain already.”
Serenity looked at him and dove into the deep abyss of pondering what he could mean
He was going back on his word, that was what he meant. He took advantage of that night when
She was a little drunk to destroy her copy of the agreement. He was afraid she would wake up and look for it, so he destroyed his own copy as well.
When she remembered to ask him, he shamelessly denied it and said that she had been worrying too much lately and was hallucinating.
He was clearly saving himself from shooting himself in the foot again. Serenity mulled over his words but did not poke at his lies.
