Chapter 18

"I wasn't at the shop tonight. My friend wanted to attend a dinner party and asked me to tag along. Oh, right. Mr. York, I want to ask you about something, but I'm not sure if it's something you're comfortable answering."

Taking the seat opposite Zachary, Serenity stared at the man with her big bright eyes. The man was aloof, distant, and nasty toward her. She knew he built a wall around him to keep nobody out but her. However, he was blessed with good looks. His face was aesthetically pleasing as if she was looking at a beautiful scenery.

"The party was held at the Wiltspoon Hotel. I heard the hotel belongs to the wealthiest family in the city. Guess what? The heir of the family attended tonight too. His last name is York, but I think you're unrelated to that family, right?"

Without batting an eye, Zachary blasély replied, "We just so happen to share the same last name"

Serenity heaved a sigh of relief and responded with a smile, "I knew you have no relations to the wealthiest family in town."

Seeing that she was glad and relieved, Zachary somehow had to ask,

"Don't you want me to be related to them?"

"It's nighttime now."
