Chapter 898
Serenity held the watering can in her right hand and raised it when she turned to look at him. She was showing him that she was using her right hand.
She injured her left hand.
“It’s tiring if you only use one hand too. I told Mrs. Lane to take good care of these flowers. You don’t have to worry about them.”
Zachary took the watering can from her hand and did not allow her to water the flowers. He pulled her to the swing chair and pressed her down to the seat. “Here’s your favorite spot. Just sit here and swing. I’ll go into the house and get you a coat.”
“I’m not cold.”
However, Zachary went inside as if he did not hear her. He brought her a jacket and wanted to put it on her, but she refused, so he draped it over her legs instead. That way, she would not feel cold when sitting on the swing chair.
“I’ll go cook now. Call me if you need anything. Don’t touch the water.”
Zachary exhorted her again and returned to the kitchen to prepare their dinner.
Serenity sat on the swing chair for a moment, then got up and went into the house. She watched quietly at the kitchen door as Zachary cooked dinner.

Zachary felt overwhelmed by favor. “I’ll do it myself, honey. Your hand is injured. I should be the one taking care of you.”
“I injured my left hand. It doesn’t affect my right hand from taking food. Eat. You’ve been busy the whole time since coming back. You need to eat more.”
She put more food on his plate as she spoke.
Zachary was nervous.
The better she treated him, the more nervous and scared he was. He did not know
what awaited him.
After the meal, Zachary went ahead and washed the dishes.
He deliberately dawdled and spent another hour cleaning up before walking over to sit across from Serenity.
With a serious expression like an elementary school student in class, he said, “Give me your verdict, Seren. I’m ready.”
Serenity was speechless. “I just want to talk with you. You make it sound like I’m sending you to the guillotine.”
He looked at her deeply and said, “To me, this moment feels exactly like that.”
