Serenity continued with a soft smile, "I was only mad at you because you lied to me back then. I never doubted your love for me. I was upset because you had so many chances to tell me the truth, but you didn't. You even got your whole family to go along with it. That's what hurt the most. “We've been married for so long now, and I'm carrying your child—our child—who'll be here in just a few months. Why are you suddenly asking me about this? Did someone come to you and stir up trouble?

"Who has such a loose tongue? Tell me their name, and I'll make sure to give them a piece of my mind."

Her tone carried a playful edge, but there was genuine frustration in her eyes. It was the New Year-how dare someone bring negativity to her husband? Serenity wanted nothing more than to track down the culprit and give them a scolding they'd never forget.

Zachary loosened his embrace, allowing her to turn and sit beside him.

As she leaned against his shoulder, he rested a protective hand on hers. His voice was low but firm as he said, "Don't worry, I already ripped into him."

Serenity tilted her head, curious. "So there was someone? Who is it?" Zachary sighed, his expression still tinged with irritation. "It was Tatum." "Tatum?" Serenity repeated, surprised.

Zachary's frown deepened as he recounted the earlier phone call. Serenity listened intently, but as the story unfolded, her serious expression melted into uncontrollable laughter.

By the end of it, she was clutching her stomach, laughing so hard she could barely breathe. "Tatum! Oh, Honey, you're just so jealous!" Zachary frowned, still brooding. "Seren, how can you laugh at this? Aren't you mad at all?"

She reached up and gently pinched his cheek, teasing him. "Not one bit! I know you, Honey. I trust you completely. I know how much you love me. And honestly, this whole thing is hilarious. You don't even pay attention to Elora. But you know how it is-when someone's in the middle of something, they can't see clearly. Poor Tatum is too wrapped up in his feelings to think straight.

"You probably scared him half to death with your scolding! I bet he's regretting every word he said and swearing never to open his mouth like that again."

Serenity couldn't stop giggling at the thought of Tatum's panic.

Zachary huffed. "If he were here, I'd have kicked him a few times for good measure. I spent all that time analyzing his problem, and what do I get? A snarky comment about how I 'seem to understand Elora.' The nerve! From now on, when they come to me with their relationship troubles, I'll just sit there and listen. No advice, no opinions. Let them figure it out themselves. What do they think I am, a relationship counselor?"

Serenity leaned in, wrapping her arms around him and pressing a gentle kiss to his cheek. "Alright, alright, don't be so mad. Tatum didn't mean anything by it. He's just jealous he sees Elora as his future wife, but he hasn't won her heart yet. It's natural for him to feel insecure.

"Besides," she added with a knowing smile, "haven't you been jealous before? Remember when you got all worked up over Jasmine and Elisa? You thought they were too close to me, and you hated how much attention I gave them."

Zachary's lips twitched, fighting a smile despite himself.

She softened her tone, brushing her fingers lightly against his cheek. "You're their older brother, Zachary. They look up to you. They respect you. And when life gets tough, you're the first person they think of for help. That's not a bad thing-it means they trust you completely.

“Tatum must have been terrified after that phone call. Don't stay angry, okay? Stress will just give you wrinkles, and I want my husband to stay as handsome and youthful as ever. You're my eye candy, after all."

Her playful compliment finally broke through his frustration. Zachary let out a resigned sigh, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close again.

"You always know how to talk me down," he murmured.

Serenity smiled, resting her head against his chest. "That's my job, isn't it?"

The tension in the room dissolved as the two of them settled into a warm embrace.
