Chapter 704
Tania stared intently at her son for a while before breaking the silence. “You call the shots for your own affairs. I can only give you some advice. I’m going back before your dad gets worried. Are you and your wife coming home for New Year?”
“Didn’t Nana tell you? I’ll be back with Seren to the old residence for New Year.”
“The old residence. Oh, you’re referring to that mansion. No wonder your nana has been going there lately.”
It turned out her son wanted to take Serenity back to Whitmore Mansion to celebrate New Year’s holiday. The place had been through the vicissitude of life and reflected the former glory of the Yorks‘ ancestors.
“How long are you planning to keep up with the act?”
“I got it thought out, Mom. I know what I’m doing. I’ll let the whole of Wiltspoon know about my marriage to Seren when the time comes.”
He could get a start on wedding planning.
Zachary envisioned a beautiful ending, but only God knew how reality would pan out. Tania replied, “Sure. I’m off then.”

Out of the times Clive could have called, why did it have to be when he was doing the deed?
If Clive could read Zachary’s mind, he would argue that he could not predict his call came untimely.
“What do you want?”
Zachary tried to be kinder to Clive since Clive was his beloved wife’s cousin.
Nevertheless, there was no way he could be Mr. Nice Guy right away.
“See you at the Grand Hotel at midnight. I’ll meet you at your house if I don’t see you there.”
Zachary furrowed his brows. “Must I go?”
“What? Are you scared to see me?”
Peevish, Zachary callously blurted, “See you there!”
It was frustrating that Clive turned out to be his wife’s cousin!
