Chapter 379
When Serenity learned the truth, she realized she had to apologize to Elisa.Mr. York in fact had a wife.Elisa should give up.She was a good girl. Serenity hoped that Elisa could let go of her feelings for Mr. York as soon as possible, and look for her happiness that belonged to her.“Since Mr. York is married, why wasn’t there any news?”Even Elisa did not know about it.“It should be to protect his wife. Think about it. Our boss is young, handsome, promising, and rich. Any woman who sees him in real life would fall head over heels for his charm.“Although no other woman except Ms. Stone has the courage to openly confess to him and pursue him, it doesn’t mean that there aren’t people who adore him. He’s worried that exposing his beloved wife’s identity and appearance would bring trouble for her. He’s also afraid that someone would hurt his wife while he’s not paying attention.”“I don’t know about the others, but Elisa is definitely not that kind of person. She’s a good girl

It was likely that she usually closed the store late to rush her crafts.Serenity looked at him. “You don’t have that much of an impact.”Zachary was speechless.“My sister will be bringing up the divorce to Hank tonight. I’m a little worried.”“Shall I go there with you?”Serenity looked at the time and said, “Hank isn’t back at this time. He usually only returns late at night.”In the past, the sisters were stupid and thought that Hank only returned home late because he was busy socializing after being promoted to be a manager. However, he was actually spending time with his lover!“Have faith in Liberty. She will take care of it.”Zachary could only comfort Serenity this way.After a moment of silence, she said, “I keep having this feeling that it won’t go smoothly. The Brown family is too shameless. You don’t know this, but they tried to make Sonny sick in order to keep my sister from going to work.”She told Zachary what Olivia had done.Zachary’s expression was dark af

Zachary looked at Serenity, who was also looking at him. He asked her, “Do you want to go to your sister’s house to take a look?”Serenity looked at the time on her phone and said, “Hank won’t be back at this time.”She paused and added, “My sister will take care of her own affairs. I’ll do my best to help her if she asks for help.”Zachary then stayed silent.He was texting someone on his phone.A few minutes later, he suddenly said to her, “You’re not in a good mood. Why don’t you call it a day? I can accompany you wherever you want to go.”After a brief silence, Serenity said, “I don’t have anywhere to go.”Lately, Serenity’s mood would worsen drastically at the mention of her sister’s marriage.Serenity and Liberty only had each other for so many years. After Liberty got married, Serenity thought her sister had found a good home and that what awaited her would be a lifetime of happiness.However, the cruel reality was a slap in the face.Liberty’s marriage was falling apa

When Zachary heard that, he frowned and wanted to say something, but Serenity continued, “Jasmine and I will compensate Elisa in other ways. We won’t take advantage of her.”Serenity and Jasmine could not stop Elisa from putting those things at the bookstore. If they did not accept it, they could not imagine Elisa’s degree of anger, so they had to accept it first.When Jasmine and Serenity were tidying up earlier, they had a good idea of how much those things were worth.In the future, they would find an opportunity to return the favor to Elisa.“It’s not a matter of taking advantage of her. Your store isn’t that spacious. You already have so many bookshelves and storage boxes, yet Ms. Stone keeps stuffing things into your store. It’s not like you can sell them. Isn’t that just taking up unnecessary space?”Actually, Zachary was just annoyed because he did not occupy any space in his wife’s store, and Elisa beat him to it.Zachary thought Elisa was always monopolizing his wife,

Serenity said she wanted to go to the beach for some fresh air, so her wish was Zachary’s command.Of course, he could not bring her to the Seaview Villa.Fortunately, during this season, the beach was not as busy as it was in the summer at this hour. There were only a few tourists scattered around the beach.The couple walked on the soft sand while the waves crashed onto the shore. The sea breeze messed up Serenity’s hair and she was feeling chilly.Zachary suddenly stopped in his tracks, so Serenity followed suit and asked him, “What’s wrong?”He took off his suit jacket and handed it to Serenity. “It’s quite windy today. You should wear my jacket.”Seeing that Serenity did not take the jacket from him, Zachary continued, “Are you gonna put it on yourself, or do you want me to help you?”Serenity had no choice but to take his jacket and put it on. She asked, “Aren’t you cold?”“I am, but I’m more afraid that you’ll catch a cold.”Serenity looked at him and laughed, “Mr. York

Serenity laughed.She suddenly wanted to see Zachary strip dance.Zachary stood up and flicked her forehead and she winced from the pain.“I don’t even know what’s in your head. You’re always so unpredictable.”Serenity put it out there again, “Nana always tells me to jump you, strip you, and sleep with you so she can have a great-granddaughter. I’m still thinking if I should fulfill Nana’s wish.”Zachary flicked her forehead again when he heard this.“Ouch!”It was painful, so Serenity took revenge by pinching his cheeks.“Serenity.”Zachary grabbed both of her hands and looked serious. Serenity’s playfulness vanished abruptly when she met his deep eyes. She said cautiously, “Mr. York, just say what you want to say. Your serious look is scaring me.”“Listen.”“Mhmm, I’m all ears.”“Whether we sleep together or not, it’s our privacy, so we should follow our hearts. Don’t sleep with me just because someone tells you to.”Zachary did not want their first time to be because o

Zachary took off his suit jacket and handed it to Serenity. “Wear it and take a nap.”Since they were no longer at the beach, Serenity accepted and covered her body with the suit jacket before she took a nap.Zachary turned off the music in the car to not disturb her.He drove the car in silence while Serenity took a nap. After a while, they arrived at Brynfield.The bodyguards were wandering in the lobby because their boss was out of their sight all night.After the bodyguards saw Mrs. Lane came back with the missus’ pets, they found out that their boss was taking his wife out on a drive. The bodyguards were anxious, but no one dared contact the boss for fear of disturbing the couple’s privacy.At that moment when the bodyguards saw Zachary’s car, they quickly dispersed as they were afraid that the missus would see them.Jim ran the fastest and almost dove right into the bushes.That was because the missus could recognize him.Zachary pretended not to notice the bodyguards’ r

Zachary acted on his idea. He sneaked around Serenity’s room and rummaged through her things like a thief.After searching all the places where Serenity might hide the agreement, Zachary still could not find her copy of the agreement.Where did she put it?Zachary stood in front of the dresser as he stared at it while trying to recall any corners which he might have left out.He had rummaged through all the drawers.Finally, his gaze landed on a piece of paper on the table with a golden hairpin drawn on it.He picked up the paper.Serenity’s drawing was excellent.Why did she draw this golden hairpin?Zachary could not guess Serenity’s intention of drawing a golden hairpin. He flipped it over and saw that it was the agreement he was looking for.Serenity doodled on the reverse side of her agreement.No wonder he could not find the agreement after he ransacked her room.Zachary folded Serenity’s copy of the agreement and stuffed it into his pants pocket. He then walked to th
