Chapter 562
Out of everything Zachary had said to Serenity, the point that caught Serenity’s attention was money. His wife reckoned that he, the heir of the Yorks and the head of the multi-billion-dollar York Corporation, had no money… Letting loose of her, Zachary got up and walked away. Serenity blinked her eyes. Was the petty guy angry again? She got up too, but instead of cheering him up, Serenity poured herself a glass of water and downed the pills he bought. He paid no heed to his appearance and wore his dressing gown and loafers to get her something to help with the pain. It would be a waste of his effort if Serenity did not take the medicine. It would probably fuel his anger too. Zachary soon returned to her side. “Put your hand out.” He ordered. “What’s the matter?” Lifting her chin, Serenity watched as he took out a red jewelry box. She asked hesitantly, “Is this a ring?” Zachary opened the jewelry box and grabbed her left hand. Taking the gold ring out of the box,

Zachary held Serenity, intending to meet her in dreamland. After closing his eyes, something abruptly came to mind. He gently peeled away from Serenity and sat up. Zachary reached out to grab Serenity’s phone on the bedside table. He posted the photo on Facebook to announce he was married within his circle. The photo would definitely get out in the open. Zachary was not afraid of the photo getting circulated because the photo only showed a pair of hands. It would protect Serenity from the media vultures for now. However, Serenity’s post on Facebook might be seen by Elisa.Since Serenity and Elisa were close, the girls would have added each other on Facebook. Clive could see his photo through others while Elisa would find the photo on Serenity’s Facebook. By making a comparison, Elisa would realize that Serenity was his wife. Zachary could not let Elisa know about him and Serenity for now. Serenity and Mrs. Stone had done a DNA test, and the results would be out in two

“That’s so considerate of Zachary.”Serenity took the clothes but was not in a hurry to get out of bed. Instead, she held the clothes in one hand and her phone in another to check her Facebook out of habit. No one sent a message last night, but a few liked her stories. Nevertheless, she limited her Facebook posts and stories to a few of her closest friends. She did not want those fellows in the same trade to access her personal life because she preferred to keep her privacy that way. Although Serenity often posted on Facebook, she tended to post on stories as they would be gone after a certain amount of time. Zachary was the first to like her post last night.Serenity was dumbstruck. Did she allow him access to her Facebook posts and stories when she added him? Maybe she forgot to limit Zachary’s access when she first added him on Facebook. Thinking back, Serenity did not publish anything other than her crafts and flowers on the balcony. She felt at ease and relieved that

Serenity’s heart melted at Zachary’s warm gestures while on the other side, Elisa’s spirits were dampened as she was given a rude awakening before she even got out of bed. As Zachary changed the settings on Serenity’s Facebook, Elisa did not see the photo on Serenity’s stories. It was her sister-in-law who showed her the photo. Her sister-in-law, Alice, knocked on the door and entered her room when Elisa just woke up. Alice quietly tapped on a picture on her phone and showed Elisa. Since Elisa had just gotten up, she could not understand the meaning behind her sister-in-law’s actions. Elisa asked, “Alice, who’s showing this mushy stuff online? Are you trying to get under my skin for being single by showing it to me?”Alice stared at her without a word. In fact, Alice gave her blessing to Elisa to fight for true love. As Zachary was outstanding in every single way, he would make the perfect couple with Elisa. Alas, Zachary was not into Elisa. Elisa had tried to move on,

Feeling bad, Alice gave Elisa a hug and consoled her, “Elisa, you should stop yearning for him since Zachary’s married. He’s not the only good man on earth. You’ll find better men once you let go of him.“You’re a great girl to me, Elisa. Don’t beat yourself up just because Zachary doesn’t like you. Take my advice. Forget Zachary. Your brother and I will find you a good man who is better suited for you and yours alone. “I promise you will live happier than Zachary. It might not be all sunshine and roses for the woman to marry a stoic man like Zachary. Think about it. Who would want to be with an aloof man?” Elisa bit her lips, refusing to shed tears. Worried Elisa might draw blood from the furious biting, Alice ran her mouth about her husband. “Clive is an *sshole for making me a meanie bright early in the morning. Don’t do that, Elisa. You’ll only hurt yourself.“Cry it out if you’re feeling sad. Cry it all out. I’m not an outsider. You’ll feel better after crying.“How about

“That’s what I admire the most about you, unlike some people who don’t care if others are married. They find someone they fancy and come in between the marriage of others under the pretext of finding true love. Those people disgust me the most.” Alice was speaking from the heart. She embraced Elisa as her in-laws would because her sister-in-law had good qualities. Alice would not even bother if Elisa was not a decent person. “I’m fine, Alice. Go and catch up on sleep. Tell my brother not to worry about me. It’s not like I can never find a man.” “Alright. I’m heading back to my room. Do you want to go back to sleep?” “Nah. I’ll go to spend some good time with Serenity later. That reminds me, the pastry chef made some great desserts yesterday. Is there any left? I want to bring some to Serenity and Jasmine. They have a thing for desserts.” These girls were just like her sister-in-law. Previously, Elisa’s family did not have a personal pastry chef as their chef could take
Chapter 568
Clive sighed. There indeed was bound to be regret in life. …Serenity went to her sister’s new place to pick Mrs. Lane and Sonny up before heading to the shop with Zachary. She did not take a ride in Zachary’s car but since he insisted on escorting her by driving, she could only accept his kind gesture. Sonny was in a much better place with his mother spending time with him. Now that he was willing to be in Mrs. Lane’s company, Liberty could finally go back to work. Liberty could not take a long leave since she was still on probation. Once at the shop, Zachary reminded Serenity, “The Eternal diamond ring.” Serenity replied, “I’ll put it on now. I promise it will always be on my finger.” She then went behind the cash register and opened the drawer with a key. The expensive diamond ring sat quietly in the corner of the drawer. Zachary watched with a grimace. She was so nonchalant with the ring. Serenity pulled out the ring and wore it on her ring finger. She had

Elisa thought she was seeing things. Zachary traveled around in a Rolls Royce with a convoy of black personal security cars. Besides, there was no way Zachary would be here. No one in his family was in Wiltspoon School. Elisa put the matter behind her. Upon reaching Serenity’s bookshop, Elisa pulled up as Serenity carried Sonny out. “Serenity, how do you know I was here?” Elisa got out of the car and added with a smile. “You even came to greet me with Sonny.” “Nah. I’m taking Sonny to the supermarket.” Elisa drew close and reached out to carry Sonny, but Sonny turned away and pulled his arms around Serenity’s neck. He said, “I want Ant Swer.” Serenity explained, “Sonny is getting better, but he only wants people who are close to him.” “The Browns are a real piece of work!” Elisa cussed the Browns as she did not get to hug the adorable Sonny. She asked, “Has your sister divorced Hank?” “They split up yesterday. She got the divided assets and renovation costs back.”
