Elisa downed a cup of tea before agonizingly opening up, “Serenity, Mr. York is married.” Serenity blinked. “Didn’t you mention before that you saw the ring on his finger?” Why did Elisa bring up that Mr. York was married then?Elisa fell silent for a while before replying, “I saw his wedding ring, but I was hoping that he was wearing the ring on purpose to get me to move on.” Jasmine asked, “Are you sure now that Mr. York is married?” Elisa nodded and answered, “Mr. York posted on Facebook announcing that he’s married. The news has caused a stir within the upper society in Wiltspoon. Many want to know who his wife is. “The press is stalking York Corporation and the Yorks’ residence to get a scoop. It’s a shame nothing was on media platforms yet before I came over. I guess they haven’t gotten any information yet.” Serenity was surprised. “Why is the media so interested in his marital status?” Jasmine and Elisa turned to look at Serenity at the same time. Serenity smile
Dizzy from the shaking, Jasmine pried Elisa’s fingers from her shoulders and said, “Elisa, Mr. Bucham and I only went on one blind date, and that was it. He won’t tell me if I ask him.” “I can’t believe you went on a date with Josh Bucham!” Elisa exclaimed in amazement. “Josh is the most eligible bachelor in Wiltspoon, and I’m talking about among the elites.” Elisa had no doubt about the authenticity of Jasmine’s date with Josh because Jasmine was the daughter of a local wealthy man. Jasmine’s aunt was also the missus of the Lowe family. Jasmine often attended higher society events with her aunt. However, Mrs. Lowe stopped bringing Jasmine around to parties after Jasmine’s lying stunt at Mrs. Dawson’s birthday celebration. “Serenity’s husband set up the date.” Serenity smiled and admitted openly, “My husband does seem to be in Mr. Bucham’s good books. Seeing that Mr. Bucham was always busy at work and single, he boldly set him up with Jasmine. He thought Jasmine would make
Putting down his pen, Josh got up and drew near the window to look down. He looked at the paparazzi standing firmly outside the company entrance and murmured, “They sure have the patience to stay from last night until now. Seriously, Zachary. All it takes is for Zachary to show off his relationship and boom, the community’s rocked to the core.” Well, it only shook the community. All was calm with the missus. Zachary shielded the missus well. Everybody in the office had seen Serenity, but no one had the guts to blab it out. The York family kept mum, refusing to let a word out despite the reporters’ incessant inquiries. “Do you know who Mr. York’s wife is?” was the first thing that popped out of everyone in the upper crust’s mouth today.Business clients would join in on the gossip after closing deals, snooping on the identity of Mr. York’s bride. Josh was annoyed. Since he was best buddies with Zachary, many tried to pry information from him. Josh knew the most but cou
“I wonder who the lucky lady is.” Although Clive knew his question would come to naught, he still had to ask. His sister wanted to know who defeated her. Zachary’s eyes were fixated on Clive for a while before he answered, “Mr. Stone, I’d ask for privacy, so I’m not going to answer that question.” Clive had foreseen getting nothing from Zachary. Accepting the result, Clive graciously smiled. “You have your wife well protected, Mr. York.”“I promised to love, protect, and cherish her forever when I married her.” Clive replied with a little surprise, “You’re an affectionate man, Mr. York.” His sister and Zachary were not meant to be. Clive had talked his sister into letting Zachary go, but his sister refused to listen. Now, she was devastated. He sighed in his mind. Clive would support his sister to be with Zachary and ease the tension between the rivaling York Corporation and Stone Group if Zachary had fallen in love with Elisa. This was because Zachary only had ey
After listening to a day of gossip about Mr. York’s marriage and wife-doting tendencies, Serenity applied a facial mask in front of the dressing table at night and said to Zachary, “All I hear is stories about your boss today.” With his game face on, Zachary asked, “Oh. What about?” “You don’t know?” Serenity turned over to look at him. “Your boss made a public announcement that he’s married, but no one knows who his wife is. Elisa said that caused quite a stir among the higher society.“Zachary, you work at York Corporation. Do you have any firsthand news about the identity of your boss’s wife?“I heard the press waited in front of your office building for a long time but had to leave with nothing.” Pulling a chair over, Zachary sat next to his wife and watched as Serenity put on the facial mask. He grabbed the mask packing for a look at the brand. It was a good and expensive brand. “Elisa gave it to me. I hardly apply facial masks, but I thought I should try it out tonigh
“Seren, are Mrs. Stone’s and your DNA test results nearly out?” Zachary decisively changed the subject to end the gossip about himself. He was only flaunting his relationship to announce his marriage on Facebook. It never crossed his mind that it would bring about a stir that occupied his wife’s day with gossip. “Elisa said they’ll collect the results tomorrow.” “Oh.” Zachary quickly added, “You’ll meet them again if the results show you’re related to Mrs. Stone. I might not be able to go with you to the Stones’ house. I’m going away on business tomorrow.” Serenity picked her head up to meet his eyes. “I thought you didn’t have to do business trips.” Zachary stared at her in silence. He knew it; she looked forward to him leaving soon. Zachary was scared that she would forget who he was when he returned from his trip. “Have you booked the flight yet? What time is the flight? I’ll drive you to the airport. “I’ll get up early tomorrow to pack for you.” Serenity belie
Unexpectedly, the Soxes had many buildings up for lease and they received a boatload of rental fees.That was how the Sox family turned wealthy.“Let Jasmine and Mr. Bucham develop on their own. I think a spark will ignite between them when they’re familiar with each other.”Ever since Serenity heard some stuff about Josh from Jasmine, she felt that Jasmine and Josh were two peas in a pod. They both liked lively places, and Josh was able to experience tons of drama firsthand.“I asked Mr. Bucham. He is quite impressed by Ms. Sox, so give him a little time and he’ll make more initiative. It’s almost New Year, and everyone in our company will be busier than usual, let alone people in positions like Mr. Bucham. He’ll have time to deal with his private and emotional affairs during the holidays.”During Zachary’s business trip, Josh and Callum would have to run the company, so they would undoubtedly be busy.Serenity hummed. She also did not want Jasmine to marry far away. If Jasmine
“My memory isn’t that poor. It’s not like we just only got our marriage license.”Serenity yawned and added, “Go to sleep, Zachary. You have to travel tomorrow. Rest well so you’ll feel energized.”She then leaned over and kissed him gently on the lips.“Good night, Honey.”Zachary’s gaze became intense all of a sudden. He wrapped his arms around her waist, not letting her leave after that peck on the lips she gave him.His dark eyes burned and locked on her pretty face.She was usually barefaced without makeup, but she took great care of her skin, so her face was still looking radiant and smooth, making it pleasant to the touch.She was a natural beauty through and through.Zacahry was already attracted to her the first time they met.However, he had come across plenty of beauties before, so he did not feel anything for Serenity at first sight.“Seren, what did you just call me?”She did not react the first time he called her Honey.It was a little depressing when he thoug
