Regent Residences was a high-class villa neighborhood in Wiltspoon. The residents were either rich or nobles.Before Zachary got his marriage license with Serenity, he lived here almost every day and only occasionally returned to the old residence to accompany his elders.The villa he lived in used to be made up of several small villas, but he demolished them and rebuilt a large villa when he bought the land. The large villa had both front and back gardens. Although it was not as large as the old residence, he lived alone, so it was spacious.Sam knew Zachary was coming back before he had anything to eat, so Sam told the kitchen to prepare lunch in advance.Zachary got up late and had brunch at one go.After he finished eating at a home he was familiar with, his bad mood improved marginally.He sat on the sofa and called Josh.Josh had not woken up yet. Yesterday, Duncan and he went drinking with Zachary. Zachary could hold his liquor, so he was not drunk. On the contrary, Josh
As Serenity viewed the night sky, she gradually grew tired. She leaned back on the swing and thought of napping for a few minutes. Little did she know, she slept until five in the morning. It was almost dawn when she woke up.She had slept outside on the balcony the whole night.When she woke up, she knew Zachary had not returned last night. Otherwise, he would have woken her up.Although that man was cold and seemed to have a heart made of stone, he was kind to her. He gave her everything that she should have as his wife.Serenity got up from the swing and went into the hall to turn on the lights. The two handicrafts were still on the coffee table. She was silent for a moment before she went to Zachary’s room.The door was locked. She did not have the keys, so she could not open the door.He most likely did not come home.It was Monday, a new week.Although Zachary did not return during the night, Serenity did not call him. He was still angry at her, so why should she approach
Hank turned his head to look in the house. He returned by himself last night.He only made his way back home because he was persuaded by his parents and sister. Otherwise, he would have chosen to stay at his parents’ house for a few more days and go out with Jessica unscrupulously.Liberty would usually not go to her in-laws’ house since she would be nitpicked by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. She grew annoyed after so many times, so she refused to visit her in-laws unless absolutely necessary. That was the only reason Hank was audacious to shamelessly go out with Jessica.During the few days he took leaves of absence to recuperate at home, Jessica would come over to take care of him when she got off work. She bought him plenty of supplements and delicious food, and their relationship improved by leaps and bounds. If Jessica were to insist on him divorcing Liberty because she wanted to be with him officially, they would have rolled around in the sheets already.Although Hank
Liberty asked, “Why don’t you go after breakfast?”“No, I’ll just get take-outs. I have an appointment at noon and won’t be back for lunch. You can eat with Sonny.”Seeing how Liberty was merely asking and did not hand him his coat and briefcase like before to send him off like a king, Hank was quite upset. He felt like Liberty was not serving him despite eating and living under his roof.His sister was good to her husband. It could be said that she treated her husband like he was a king. Furthermore, she had a job to earn money.‘Liberty doesn’t do anything, yet she doesn’t treat me well either.‘No one can blame me for not loving her. She’s just not qualified.’Hank found a reason for his emotional infidelity.He went to get his suit jacket, briefcase, and car keys before saying to his son, “Daddy is going to work now, Sonny. Bye-bye.”He did not leave until his son waved at him.As soon as he left the house, he drove straight to Wiltspoon Hotel.Unexpectedly, Jessica was w
“After marriage, she didn’t go to work and had no income, so she relied on me to support her. Everything in the house was bought with my money. What qualifications does she have to split the assets with me?” Hank said arrogantly. “As long as I divorce her, she’ll definitely leave without a penny to her name. She won’t get anything from me.”Previously, Liberty told him that if they divorced, she wanted the money used for renovation back from him.However, Hank told her that he would not give her a single penny.He had not divorced her because his son was still young and needed someone to take care of him.He simply thought of Liberty as a free nanny. This free nanny was absolutely dedicated to taking care of his son, so he did not have to worry about his son being abused by a random nanny.Jessica wanted to tell him that his savings were considered marital property. If Liberty sued him, she would be able to take half of the savings. Furthermore, if Liberty found out about the mone
When Hank heard that it was Mr. York, he was stunned and said, “No wonder it was such a big commotion. So, it was Mr. York. Oh, what a shame. If I had known that it was him, I would’ve squeezed to the front to get a glimpse of his handsome face.”He heard that Mr. York was incredibly good-looking.The middle-aged man gave Hank a sidelong glance and laughed. “You don’t look too shabby either, but compared to Mr. York, you can’t hold a candle to him.”Hank did not get angry either. “How would I dare to compare myself with Mr. York? The only one who can compare to him is probably Mr. Stone. I’m quite lucky to have encountered Mr. York today. I’ll buy a lottery ticket later and see if I can hit the jackpot.”The middle-aged man was amused by Hank’s words.Jessica looked amazed. After the middle-aged man left, she took Hank’s arm and walked to the hotel restaurant, saying, “Mr. York is a god-like figure in Wiltspoon. I wonder what kind of man he is and the lucky lady to have his heart.
Hank thought of the York family, and then his mind shifted to his sister-in-law’s conditions. He felt like pigs would fly before Zachary was Mr. York.Serenity was indeed beautiful, but all her other aspects were far inferior to the Stone family’s daughter. If Mr. York did not take a liking to someone like Elisa, why would he fancy Serenity instead?After making comparisons, Hank automatically dismissed the idea, feeling that he was overthinking.There was no way the Zachary he knew was the young master of the York family!“My eyes must be playing tricks on me. Come on, let’s go have breakfast.”Jessica was hoping that Hank could get acquainted with Mr. York. That way, if she followed Hank, she would be able to take advantage of that relationship to get to know Mr. York as well. Maybe she could even squeeze into that circle of high society.However, reality gave her a tight slap in the face. That was impossible!She had better not daydream.Seizing Hank’s heart and making him d
Liberty continued her job hunt.Serenity took her nephew back to the store.Jasmine loved Sonny and she was the one who played with him the most, letting Serenity focus on her crafts.She was going to make some retro headwear to sell online and see how the sales go. If it went well, she would open another online store.Ever since e-commerce became a thing, business at brick-and-mortar stores took a plunge.If the online store could make money, Serenity would happily open another online store.When it was noon, Jasmine asked her friend, “Seren, are you still going to pick up your husband for lunch today? I have some fresh seafood over at home. Let’s have a seafood feast for lunch. If Mr. York wants to join us, I’ll prepare more portions.”Jasmine asked before she started to cook, lest she prepared too little for everyone to eat.“Even if I call him, he won’t come anyway. Jasmine, I think I’m having a cold war with Zachary.”Serenity finished making a miniature tree that a custo
