Serenity said, "Then go eat something. Don''t you know how to eat when I''m not around? And you''d better not be staying out thatte again. Even if I''m away, I''m setting a hard limit-no social events past 11 p.m. If you''re outter than that, I''m not letting you in when I get home." Zachary exined, "I just want to wrap up everything quickly so I can take a few days off when you get back. I thought we could go spend a few days at a beach vi."


    Serenity said firmly, "I don''t care what your excuse is no morete-night events. And if you daree home drunk, I''ll move all your stuff into the study. You''ll be sleeping alone."


    Zachary quickly promised, "I''m not drunk, I swear! I only had two drinks. I stayed longer because I was with an important client. They drank, but I didn''t. Everyone knows now- Zachary York barely touches alcohol when he''s out. If I get drunk, my wife will kick me out. Anyone who tries to push drinks on me is basically dering war with you."


    By now, the entire Wiltspoon business world knew that Zachary was a devoted husband a total wife guy.


    No one dared to pressure him into drinking or smoking. His wife had rules, and he followed them. Everyone respected that.


    In fact, many envied him behind his back. Having a wife who cared about his health so much? They wished for that too.


    But while most wives did care, many husbands just didn''t listen. Some even scolded their wives for being controlling. Eventually, those women gave up-too


    heartbroken to keep caring.


    Drinking too much ruins your body.


    Many have ended up with internal bleeding or worse from alcohol abuse.


    "Where are the kids?" Zachary asked, changing the subject. "Are you taking them out today? River should be free-get him to tag along."


    Serenity said, "Go downstairs and eat something first. Don''t stay hungry. You''ve only just recovered from those stomach issues. If you rpse, I''m not taking care of you."


    She''d spent a long time nursing him back to health.


    "I''ll call youter after you''ve eaten. I''m thinking of cooking for the kids today unless we decide to head out. Oh, wait-it''s probably lunch time already. The chef here probably has food ready, so I don''t even need to cook."


    Zachary said, "Honestly, I''m not hungry when I''m talking to you. My whole mind is just on you. So, why didn''t you take the kids out today? Did River get drunk? I think I saw a video he postedst night."


    Serenity grinned. "He didn''t drink, but the woman he''s interested in did. She got drunk and made a move on him. So this morning, he asked me to go with him to the Lafond family with a little gift-basically to propose marriage. I didn''t even bring the kids. Just went with him for the show. It was hrious. Seventh Brother is sneaky. Romina never saw iting-he''s got her wrapped around his finger." Thinking about the whole scene, Serenity couldn''t stopughing.


    "Honey, your brothers are getting more and more cunning. They really are your students- they''ve inherited your full bag of tricks."
