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
“Serenity, where’s your sister? Tell her to answer her phone!”Olivia was blunt and it was clear that she was livid.“Why are you looking for my sister?The last I checked, my sister has nothing to do with your family anymore. What do you want?” Serenity spoke casually.She guessed Olivia called because the latter found out that the renovations to the house were smashed and wanted to settle the score with Liberty in a fit of anger.Their reaction was actually rather slow.It was no wonder Olivia did not know about it until now.On the day Liberty and Hank divorced, the old couple took a taxi home after the formalities were done.They wanted to move into Hank’s house the next day.Chelsea’s children had to go back to school to get their report cards, so they waited an extra day.Today, the elementary school was officially out.Olivia and her husband brought Chelsea’s family, driving two cars carrying large bags into the city, intending to stay there for the New Year’s.As for
Serenity laughed and said, “Chelsea, you should go to the bathroom and wash your face at the sink. Oh, wait, there’s no faucet anymore. My sister paid for all the water pipes, so we sawed them all off. I guess you’ll just have to take a piss and see your reflection in it. Look at how big your face is.“My sister and your brother are divorced. They have nothing to do with each other whatsoever. How do you get off telling my sister to find a house for you to stay? Was it my sister’s fault that you don’t have a house to live in now? You were the ones who brought this upon yourselves.“If you guys had gone along and compensated my sister for her loss, you would have a place to stay now. Alas, it’s really cold today. I wonder if you’ll be able to sleep in a house full of holes.“But you have thick skin and flesh. If all of you huddle together, you’ll be able to withstand the bitter cold wind.“If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up now. It’s very warm under the covers, so I’m going to
