Chapter 636
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

She also dreamed that he said a lot of things to her, but she did not hear them.In the dream, she told him to speak louder because she could not hear him, but his mouth simply continued to open and close. She was unable to hear a single word and had been incredibly anxious.Mrs. Lane turned to look at Serenity, then turned back to her work.“I sent your sister and Sonny home yesterday evening and stayed overnight at their place. I really have no clue if Mr. York came back or not.”Serenity smacked her own head. “Right, you didn’t come home. Ugh, my head hurts. Mrs. Lane, can you please make me a bowl of hangover soup? No, I’m going to take a painkiller. My head is killing me.”Serenity turned and slipped out of the kitchen.Acting completely naturally, she wandered into the guest room and found the medicine box to grab a bottle of painkillers.“Headache?”Her sister’s voice resounded.Serenity was startled that she almost dropped the bottle.“I have a headache from not sleep

Liberty gave her sister a look. “Are you saying his clothes ran outside by themselves? They’re still damp. They must’ve been washed last night or this morning.”Serenity muttered, “Did he really come back last night?”“What was that?”“Nothing. Look, don’t you think the flowers I have are pretty? You enjoy the little balcony garden while I finish eating.”When Serenity returned to the dining room with the bowl and sat down, she hurriedly took out her cell phone and sent a message to Jasmine.[Jasmine, when did I get drunk last night? Did your brother and you take me home after I got drunk?[Why did I have a dream last night about Zachary coming home? It’s not like I miss him.[He has clothes drying on my balcony, and his clothes are still damp... Could it be that I wasn’t dreaming? Was he actually back?[Text me instead of calling since my sister is here. I don’t want her to worry that I’m fighting with Zachary.]After Liberty divorced, what she feared most was that her sister

Ring ring ring...Serenity’s cell phone rang. It was a call from Elisa.She stopped talking to Jasmine and quickly answered the call.“Serenity, where do you live?”“Brynfield.”“Okay, I’m going over now. I’m in front of your store, but you’re not open today.”Serenity said, “Sure, I’ll send you the location. My sister and I are ready to leave.”Elisa hummed.After Serenity sent the location, Elisa opened the navigation app on her phone and headed for Brynfield.She had always been a fast driver. When she was about to merge into traffic on the expressway at an intersection, she almost crashed into a Maybach. Both the Maybach and her car were urgently halted.Elisa wound down her window and the other driver did the same.She instructed the driver of the other car to back up a little to make way for her to pull up before they discussed the incident.The driver did not immediately do as Elisa gestured. Instead, he turned his head to look at the person sitting in the back seat.
