Zachary said without inflection, “I don’t remember anymore. She hasn’t shown up before me as of late.”“You don’t remember?”“Do I have to? I don’t like her, so what’s the point of remembering? If I did remember and you got jealous, what should I do then? You’re the person I’m going to spend the rest of my life with, so I only need to remember you. To me, all other women are just passersby. I probably couldn’t even remember what they looked like even if they stood in front of me.”Zachary was very much indifferent to women and was naturally unappreciative.In this life, he would not fall for another woman except Serenity.Serenity laughed, saying, “I won’t get mad and I won’t get jealous either. You don’t have to be so defensive.”“I’m really not being defensive. I’m telling the truth. Other than my relatives, you’re the only one I care about. I don’t care about anyone else.”“Then we’re even. Shawn Lowe may admire me but you have an admirer too.”Zachary wanted to say that Sha

Serenity sat up and picked her phone up. “I’ll watch a movie.”Zachary took her phone away. Then, he went to his study, picked a book at random, and shoved it into her hands. “Why don’t you read something? It’s easy to fall asleep this way.”Holding the book he had shoved at her, Serenity looked at the title of the book and blinked. She was not seeing things wrongly, was she? This book was…She flipped it open to the first page.Zachary placed her phone on the bedside dresser and turned back around to her. He was taken aback when he glimpsed the contents of the book and instinctively snatched the book away. With slight embarrassment on his handsome face, he said, “I-I grabbed the wrong thing. Wait for a second—I’ll grab a magazine for you,” he said as he left hastily, book in his hands.Serenity came out of her stupor and laughed, “Zachary, so this is the sort of person you are.”Zachary blushed all the way to the tips of his ears.That book had been given to him by Josh many ye

“Zachary, are you a liar?” Serenity asked Zachary.Zachary just looked at her and did not answer her question.“Zachary, are you really a liar?” Serenity raised her voice this time. Then, she woke up.Even after waking up, Serenity was still dazed. After a long moment, she came to her senses and muttered, “So, it was a dream… What did I dream of?”Turning her head to the side, she noticed the man who had painstakingly lulled her to sleep was no longer there.“I knew he was up to something, trying to get me to sleep early. No wonder I had a nightmare like that.”Serenity picked up her phone to check the time and then proceeded to go back to sleep.This time, she did not dream again and slept soundly.Meanwhile, at Wiltspoon Hotel, Mr. Lowe sat in the lobby on the first floor, waiting for Zachary’s arrival.He had suddenly received Josh’s call earlier, notifying him that Zachary was willing to squeeze a little time out to meet him and telling him to wait at the Wiltspoon Hotel

Despite this, she continued to forcibly control him in order to stop her son from further bothering Serenity.Her son might be in a lot of pain now, but with the passing of time, he would walk out of the darkness and stop seeking pain.Time was the best medicine that healed all emotional wounds.“What on earth happened?”Mr. Lowe was normally busy due to his work and so he did not know about his son liking Serenity.Mrs. Lowe had thought she alone could control her son and make her son give up thoroughly, so she had not told her husband about this.Mrs. Lowe sighed and said, “Your son has someone he likes now.”Mr. Lowe said, uncomprehendingly, “He’s an adult now. Isn’t that normal? Other kids started having crushes on people in their teens but there has never been such news on his end. I was even starting to worry he wasn’t normal. Who does he like? Is the girl’s family background not good? You wouldn’t be objecting to it otherwise.”What Mrs. Lowe just said indicated to Mr. L

Zachary headed straight to his penthouse suite on the top floor of Wiltspoon Hotel. After a couple of minutes, the Lowe couple knocked and entered under his bodyguards’ lead.Zachary invited them to have a seat.“Thank you, Mr. York.”The pair of husband and wife thanked him. Only then did they dare to sit down opposite him.After sitting down, they did not dare speak—mainly because they did not even know what they should say.They completely did not understand why Zachary wanted to meet them and had not the slightest inkling what he wanted to talk about. Zachary did not want to waste time on this and took the initiative. Without beating around the bush, he said, “Mr. Lowe, I asked you to meet me here primarily to tell you to keep your son, Shawn Lowe, under control so that he stops bothering my wife.”Hearing that, both Mr. and Mrs. Lowe paled.Mrs. Lowe stammered, “Mr. York, t-t-there must be some sort of misunderstanding here. Our Shawn has someone he likes. He—Even if yo

“Mr. York, Shawn hasn’t gone to look for Serenity in a long time.”Mrs. Lowe added, “I didn’t know Serenity was your wife, but I know Serenity has been married for quite a few months, and yet Shawn persisted in bothering her. I knew this wasn’t right, which was why I forcibly stopped him from going to Serenity’s bookshop and calling her.”Zachary said sharply, “Just earlier, your son used a new phone number to call my Seren again. I know he and Seren have known each other for more than a decade and met her before I did, but Seren has chosen me. She is my wife. I will not allow anyone to touch my woman.“Seren has also harshly rejected him and told him that she does not see him as a man. Seren has always treated him like a little brother, but Shawn Lowe continues to find ways and means to bother her. I very much trust Seren, but I cannot tolerate his pestering of Seren.”Mr. Lowe hurriedly promised, “Mr. York, don’t worry. When we get back, I’ll definitely discipline Shawn strictly.

“Darling, let’s talk about this tomorrow. It’s already very late and if we make too big of a fuss, we might wake our daughter up.”Mrs. Lowe advised her husband and stopped him from kicking at the door again.“Shawn’s in a bad mood so he might have had something to drink in his room. If he gets really drunk, he won’t be able to hear any banging on the door.”As of late, Shawn had been getting drunk in his room often. He had a minibar in his room and had moved all his father’s treasured fine wines into his room.It was precisely this constant drowning of his sorrows in alcohol, which led to his having no mood to work during the day that resulted in all the mistakes in his work recently.Mr. Lowe was livid but could not do anything about it and was persuaded to return to their bedroom by his wife.Upon entering their room, Mrs. Lowe asked her husband, “Darling, about Mr. York telling us that Serenity is his wife… Do we have to help him keep it a secret? It doesn’t look like he’s go
Chapter 788
“After New Year’s, we’ll send him to work in our Havenmill branch for a few years to gain some experience. Once he’s completely gotten over Serenity and matured, we’ll transfer him back here and train him for another two years. If he’s up to the task, I’ll let him take over Lowe Enterprise.“If he can’t get over it and is unable to rise to take the helm, we can only change the successor then for the future of the Lowe family.”Mr. Lowe very much hoped his son could be the successor to Lowe Enterprise, but that came with the precondition that his son was up to the task. If his son viewed love as more important than his future, he could only pick a successor anew from amongst his numerous nieces and nephews.Mrs. Lowe’s expression flickered, and she pursed her lips. She said, “We’ll send him off on the fourth of January. Also, we’ll cut off all his allowance. He’s started working. He can spend as much money as he earns, lest he gets too comfortable.“We’ll only tell him about Serenit
