Chapter 633
Zachary clutched the paper without a word, but judging by the bantering look on Josh’s face, he could guess the drawing had something to do with him. He had seen Serenity’s artwork before. Serenity would often draw samples for her crafts and she was a good artist. “Zac…hary…” Nestling against Zachary’s chest, Serenity mumbled. Zachary carefully carried her into the car and sat her down at the backseat. He then sat next to her and propped her body against his before she slipped down from her seat. “I’m here.” He breathed a husky voice into her ear, “I’m here, Seren.” Serenity had no idea. She was so wasted that she could not open her eyes. Held tightly in Zachary’s embrace, Serenity drifted between sleep and mumbles. Sometimes, she could voice her strong opinion about Zachary, but other times, it was hard to catch what she was saying as she murmured under her breath. Jasmine and her brother stood outside the bar and watched as the sedan drove off. “Who was that man

Josh left quite a good impression on Drake. Jasmine suspected Drake would sell her off if the boys kept in touch behind her back. Josh pulled out his phone with a smile plastered on his face. “That’s very thoughtful of you, Drake. Let’s exchange numbers. I think we hit it off, Drake. Let’s have dinner sometime.” Drake happily whipped out his phone and exchanged contacts before saying, “Well, we should get going, Mr. Bucham.” “See you. I’ll treat you to dinner next time.” “Sure thing.” Drake was overjoyed but stopped short following the glare from his sister. He rubbed his nose and got into the car straight away. Standing there, Josh watched as the siblings took off. Once afar, Jasmine told her brother off, “Do you know who Josh is? Why did you act all friendly and exchange numbers?” “I don’t care who he is. All that matters is that he was on a blind date with you and he’s interested in you.” Jasmine was speechless. “Do you want me to kick you out of the house?” “I d

Back at Brynfield, Zachary gently carried Serenity out of the car. “Mr. Zachary, Mrs. Lane is staying with the missus’s sister,” said Jim. Zachary huskily replied, “I don’t need Mrs. Lane. I can take care of her.” He carried Serenity into the building. Jim waited until Mr. Zachary was inside the building before driving away. Zachary took notice of his loafers at the front of their house. His gaze deepened as his mind harked back to when they got married. She did the same thing to send a message that there was a man in the house. It was a safety precaution. Although Serenity was a good fighter, it was better to be safe than sorry. “Stand here, Seren. I need to grab the keys and open the door.” Zachary put Serenity down, but she was too drunk to stand still. She would collapse to the ground the moment he let go. Zachary immediately grabbed ahold of her. Putting his arms around her waist, Zachary guided Serenity to lean on his shoulder. He tried to feel the keys with his

That girl had always said she did not want to marry up but in reality, her family was rich too.It was just that the Sox family was low-key and pragmatic. They lived ordinary lives like ordinary people despite their wealth.“My parents are asleep, so I won’t invite you in, Mr. Bucham.”Josh smiled. “It’s late, and I didn’t bring a gift either, so I won’t go inside and disturb your parents. I’ll visit them another day when I come bearing a generous gift.” Jasmine said in her heart, ‘You’ve only just given me a bouquet of flowers and started pursuing me, but you already want to meet my parents.’“Mr. York came back in a hurry. Will he need to continue his business trip tomorrow?” Jasmine asked suddenly.Josh thought about it and said, “I think he still has to rush over tomorrow. After all, he’s responsible for the matters there. If something goes wrong, he has to go over to deal with it.”“That’s quite tiring for him.”“It’s tiring, but he’s willing to be a little tired for his

After slipping out, Josh said to himself, “He’s a clean freak, but he didn’t push her away when she barfed on him. How much love does he have for her to tolerate that?”There was nothing more to say.Josh was still a big fan of his boss’s wife. He admired her to the core.In the house, Zachary first took off his jacket and threw it on the ground before doing the same for Serenity.He would clean them up later.First, he had to carry this drunk little woman back to their room.Serenity threw up once and might be feeling soberer or slightly more comfortable as her mouth started to mutter.“Zachary...”She suddenly called out Zachary’s name loudly.“I’m here,” Zachary answered softly. He carried her into his room and instantly noticed that it was different.Everything that belonged to her was gone.Did she... move back to her room in a fit of rage?Zachary stood at the door of his room in silence for a few minutes before finally deciding to carry Serenity back to her room.

“After marriage, I was always guarded against you and suspected you. I even made you sign a six-month agreement which was full of restrictions for you... I admit that I’m a jerk. I’ve only ever cared about my own interests and never thought about you.“You called me a slimeball, and you’re right. Seren, I’m sorry!”Zachary kissed her gently on the lips, his handsome face filled with heartache. “Seren, I promise you that I won’t be like this again. I’ll learn to understand you. I’ll learn to communicate with you and to trust you.“It’s your first time being a wife, and it’s my first time being a husband. We’re both inexperienced, so let’s work hard and learn on this journey, and move forward together, alright?”Zachary muttered a lot in Serenity’s ear. As he spoke, he gradually fell asleep beside her.This time, both the husband and wife had it bad after the fight.Serenity went to a bar to get wasted while Zachary pulled all-nighters without eating and resting well. When he heard

Zachary looked at the drawing.His gaze deepened.Serenity had drawn him particularly well, but she deliberately drew his heart outside, and a super duper small one at that…Was she saying that he had a tiny heart? She meant to say he was petty and narrow-minded!There was also water behind his portrait. Was it a lake or a pond? Furthermore, what did the circles on the surface of the water mean? There were no fish under the water. If there were, he could say that the bubbles were from the fish.Zachary held the drawing and pondered while walking.What did Serenity mean by her artwork?The portrait was “Zachary”, but what did the water and balls mean?Jim was waiting for him downstairs.“Mr. Zachary.”“Mm.”Zachary hummed. When he saw Jim looking at the paper in his hand, he got into the car and said, “Serenity drew this for me.”Jim did not see clearly what was on the paper, but since the missus drew it, then it must be a good drawing.He thus complimented, “The missus’s d

Zachary snapped, “Were you looking forward to me being angry? Why would I be angry? Even if Serenity called me a slimeball, it’s a form of tough love. She scolded me because she loves me. If she doesn’t have feelings for me, she wouldn’t waste her time even looking at me, let alone waste her breath on me.“How can I tear the first drawing my wife has drawn for me? I’m going to frame it as a treasure. When I get older, I’ll take it out and reminisce about it fondly.”Josh was stunned. “Okay, you said it. If you don’t frame that drawing, then you’re a chicken!”Zachary said in a low voice, “Not only am I going to frame it, but I’m also going to hang it in our bedroom and look at it twice a day, morning and night, every day.”It would remind him to stop being narrow-minded and not to quarrel with her over trivial matters.It would remind him not to make her angry or bring sad tears to her.Josh curled his lips. “I dare you to hang it on your office wall.”“Why should I hang it ther
