“Are you trying to make me die from laughter so you can inherit my assets, Zachary? It’s not your first day being Grandma May’s grandson. You should know her personality by now and be mentally prepared. You should be thankful that she didn’t kidnap your wife after you just got married. Otherwise, you would’ve been in a worse state.”It was a terrible feeling to be separated right after tasting the feeling of love. Zachary said, “I feel awful now too. I’m used to seeing my wife the first thing after opening my eyes. She always waits for me at home at night. Whenever she’s home, I’ll always be eager to return home because I don’t want her to wait up for me.“Now that she left me to have fun, decided not to let me follow her, and even changed her phone, I’m not used to it at all. Josh, come out to drink with me. It’s my treat.”He had tried having people find out where did Grandma May go. Since Grandma May was the one who brought Serenity out, she would not let him know where they
“Actually, Zachary has changed a lot because of Serenity. She has been getting busier these days. Maybe he’s complaining a little because he has been neglected occasionally.”Jasmine said, “He didn’t just start complaining. It’s been going on for some time. Serenity said she’s not one to write love letters, but she has to wrack her brain to write one for her husband to coax him.”It would be difficult for a bossy man like Zachary to change his character. He would probably still behave the same way even after he became a grandfather or great-grandfather with gray hair. It was fine as long as Serenity was willing to tolerate him. One loved to complain, while the other had to coax her husband. The cycle would repeat. Maybe it was fun for the husband and wife. Outsiders did not need to interfere but simply lend a listening ear. Josh looked toward Jasmine and said enviously, “Zachary received a love letter from his wife, but I haven’t. Jasmine, why don’t you write me one too? Let me
Josh nodded quickly. He said, “I won’t talk about love letters or compare myself to Zachary anymore. I’m much happier than he is.”He caressed Jasmine’s small abdomen, which was still flat. Zachary had not become a father even though he had been married for a long time. On the other hand, Josh was already becoming a father, and his relationship with Jasmine had always been smooth sailing. They were in a better situation than Zachary and Serenity. Josh was content. Jasmine placed her hand on top of the back of Josh’s and took his hand off. She said, “Don’t talk to Zachary about this.”“I didn’t say anything.”“I know what you’re going to say when you do that. Seren doesn’t say anything, but she’s still worried that she’s infertile. I often see her searching about infertility on the internet.”Josh hummed in agreement. “I won’t say anything. You should advise Serenity not to be hasty. Sometimes things won’t go how we want them to if too much stress is involved.”“I know. I don’t
Serenity requested the owner of Unit 188 to delete all the pictures she secretly took and even destroyed the film. As for her act of bringing Jenna into the residential area, she insisted that she was unaware of Jenna’s intentions. She only helped out because she thought Jenna was a relative of Zachary’s family. The villa owner maintained an innocent expression and guaranteed that she would mind her business in the future. Serenity believed her. After returning, she requested Sam to arrange for someone to keep an eye on the journalist. She thought the journalist’s intention was not as simple as exposing scandals. Serenity caught a hint of envy in the journalist’s gaze and the unconscious smile when Zachary was mentioned. If Serenity’s guess was right, the entertainment journalist was her second love rival. Zachary was a magnet. He did not only attract single women. Even divorced women had their eyes on him like he was a huge piece of meat. They seemed eager to eat him whole. Je
The night crept away while the day arrived. It was the start of another day. Zachary woke up. Before he opened his eyes, he turned to his side on instinct and stretched his long arms. His eyes snapped open when he did not manage to hug a soft body. His side was empty, and Serenity was nowhere to be seen. After being taken aback for a while, Zachary remembered that his nana had kidnapped his beloved wife. They had taken Sonny on a trip and abandoned him at home. He was not able to sleep the entire night because of it. He barely went to sleep by hugging Serenity’s pillow and treating it as her. Zachary took his phone and looked at the time. It was already past eight o’clock.In the past, he would always wake up around six for a morning run. Ah, even waking up felt so tiring without his wife by his side. Next, Zachary looked at the date. It was a Saturday. He had been so busy that he had forgotten the date. He felt like it was only Monday, but it was already Saturday. The wee
Snowball had not seen its master for a long time, so it missed Zachary and wanted to be closer to him.“Mr. Zachary, breakfast is ready.”Zachary did not speak and walked toward the dining table. He went over and saw that the breakfast prepared for him by the chef was his usual favorite, but an important person was missing at the dining table, which made him very uncomfortable. Thus, he had no appetite.He sat down and stopped eating after taking two bites.Zachary then got up and went outside.Sam glanced at the dining table, followed Zachary, and asked with concern as he walked. “Mr. Zachary, do you have a bad appetite? Or was the food prepared not cooked well?”“My wife is not at home.”Sam was speechless.Serenity went on a long vacation with Old Mrs. York and would not be back for a while. Was Zachary planning to go on a hunger strike the whole time?“Mr. Zachary, where are you going?”Zachary did not answer.A few minutes later, Zachary drove out alone and did not le
Liberty said, “Serenity will probably call me soon because Sonny will miss me.”She already said this several times.This was the only way she could comfort her brother-in-law.When her sister went on a long vacation, her brother-in-law looked like he was going to give up on life. Liberty was a little dumbfounded by this. However, she also knew that Serenity and Zachary had a good relationship and that Zachary was used to Serenity’s presence.Liberty was happy for Serenity for having such a good relationship with her husband.“Why don’t I cook something else for you?”Liberty thought about whether to cook some ravioli for her brother-in-law.Zachary shook his head and said, “No need. Your cooking is delicious. I just don’t have an appetite. When I think of Seren ruthlessly abandoning me and going on a trip with Nana, I just feel so sad. She didn’t even give me her new mobile number!“Liberty, don’t you see that I have dark circles under my eyes? I can’t sleep well either.”Lib
“Are you at Uncle Kevin’s place now?” Liberty knew that his son was referring to Kevin York.Sonny hummed. “We’re at Uncle Kevin’s place now, but we’re leaving soon. I don’t know where we’re going. Great-grandma and Aunt Ser will decide!”He only tagged along to eat, drink, and play.Liberty asked, “Are you using Aunt Ser’s new phone to call me?”“No, this is Uncle Kevin’s phone. Aunt Ser is charging her phone.”Liberty snorted. “Where’s your aunt? I want to speak to her.”“I’ll go find her! Wait for a while, Mom.”Sonny went to look for Serenity while he talked on the phone. Kevin followed him for fear that the boy would fall if he ran too fast.“Aunt Ser, Mom wants to talk to you.” Sonny found Serenity and immediately handed the phone to her.Serenity answered the phone and greeted her sister.“Seren, why don’t you use your new number to message or call Zachary? You should’ve told Zachary before you go on a trip. He seems to have lost his soul when you’re not at home. It’s
