“Ms. Hunt, regardless of the reasons Zachary wasn’t honest about who he was, his feelings for you are true. It’s true that he loves you. There’s no doubt about that.” Serenity started laughing until her eyes welled up. Lifting her arm to rub her eyes, Serenity got up and said to Josh, “Thank you for clearing that up for me, Mr. Bucham. I should leave you to your space. Bye.” Now that Serenity got the confirmation she needed, she did not want to spend another second in this place. Without asking her to stay, Josh rose to his feet and walked out with her. He said, “Ms. Hunt, I know you’re in shock and mad right now. Zachary did you wrong, but it was with reason. There’s no malicious intention behind his actions. Once you calm down, give him a chance to explain. No matter what, you’re husband and wife.” Serenity was without a word, but her grimacing expression was telling. Josh went with Serenity to the bottom floor and saw her off outside the office building before going to h
Duncan drove Liberty to York Corporation. On the way, he met Jasmine, whose e-bike ran out of battery, and let the distressed girl hitch a ride with them. The bike was strapped to a pole and left by the side of the road. Jasmine planned to retrieve her e-bike once Serenity simmered down. “Seren.” “Seren.” Liberty and Jasmine jumped out of the car and raced toward Serenity. Sonny was somehow left behind and forgotten by his mother. At last, Duncan got to hug Sonny. It was not like Sonny had a choice. His mom dashed out, forgetting that he was still in Duncan’s car. Duncan said he would carry the boy down, so Sonny let him. However, once they got out of the car, Duncan never let his feet touch the ground. In fact, Duncan took quick paces toward Serenity with Sonny in his arms. As Serenity was no match for Josh and Callum, there was no way she could leave York Corporation. Serenity was getting sick and tired. With her sister here, Serenity finally had a meltdown and th
Serenity’s heart sank to the pit of her stomach. Zachary usually drove a national MPV. Did he deliberately buy the car to trick her? She bet he went around in an expensive car with his security detail in tow because that was how stylish the heir of the Yorks traveled!“Seren.” Zachary got out of the car and took large strides over. “Seren.” Zachary approached the sisters, first apologizing to Liberty. “I know I’m in the wrong here, Liberty. Can you give me a moment with Seren?” Tilting her head, Liberty looked at her sister. Serenity callously retorted, “What’s there to talk about? You’re the great Mr. York. You’re up there, and I’m down here. I’m just a lowly citizen, and you’re out of my league. I’m not entitled to have a chat with you.” She dragged her sister along to leave. “Seren.” Zachary reached out to pull her back. Liberty let go of Serenity’s arm and said, “You should talk to him, Seren. No matter what, you should give him a chance to explain.” Sereni
Back at the hilltop villa, Zachary wanted to carry Serenity out of the car.“I’ll get out by myself. I don’t need you to carry me. Don’t touch me!”Serenity refused to let him carry her and did not want to let him touch her again.After pushing him away, she got out of the car by herself.Brandt came out of the house.He was surprised to see Serenity and instinctively called out, “Mrs. York.”Serenity said coldly, “Don’t call me Mrs. York. I’m not Mrs. York. The great Mr. York is out of my league!”Her words were all barbed and sarcastic.She was really pissed off.She turned her head and said to Zachary, “Didn’t you say you lived alone? Lying is second nature to you, isn’t it? You don’t even need to come up with a script. You lie as easily as you breathe.”His acting skills were too great, and she was not sharp enough to see through him.She was a fool.Just because she saw that he drove an MPV worth a few hundred thousand and lived in a local neighborhood instead of a vil
Serenity stood up and went into the kitchen.When Zachary came in from outside, he happened to see her figure in the kitchen.He was silent.Serenity did not cook a lot. She only made herself a simple plate of spaghetti, then came out with the plate in her hands.When she saw Zachary, she merely glanced at him before ignoring his presence and went to the table. She sat down and started eating.Zachary was worried she would refuse to eat or drink because she was angry.When he saw how healthy her appetite was, and how she could eat such a large plate of spaghetti with relish, he felt conflicted.He sat down at the dining table and opened his mouth. “Seren...”“Shut up! Don’t affect my appetite.”Zachary obediently shut his trap after being yelled at by his wife.He was at fault, so he lowered his ego and pride.As he watched her eat, he felt hungry too.However, he did not dare to leave. He was afraid she would take the opportunity to slip away if he did.He could only endu
“I didn’t even know you were from a rich family! What would I want from you? When we fought for the first time, I already told you that I have motives. I saw you had a house for me to live in, so I didn’t have to rent a house. I saw you were mature and steady with a stable job, so my sister would be satisfied and assured.”Zachary said bitterly, “Seren, I know you married me to reassure your sister, not because you wanted my money or me. It was a misunderstanding on my part. I was wrong.“I’m sorry, Seren. You can beat me or scold me if you want. Since I’ve done something wrong, I should be punished. You can punish me however you want.”He would not deny the accusations.Serenity glared at him.“At first, I hid my identity to test your character. Nana insisted that I marry you, but I wanted to know if you were a person worth spending the rest of my life with. That’s why I hid my identity and lived with you like an ordinary person.“As time passed, I’ve come to realize that you we
Zachary had a feeling that if he let her go and allowed her to leave this villa, it would be difficult for him to see her again.He knew her temperament.“Let me go, Zachary York! I don’t want to talk to you right now. I don’t even want to look at you!”When Zachary held onto her, Serenity lowered her head and bit the back of his hand. However, he still refused to let go. She was so angry that she flailed wildly at him. She was incredibly agitated.Zachary forcefully pressed her frenzied being into his arms. He bowed his head and sealed her mouth, trying to soothe her with a gentle kiss.However, she bit his lip so hard that he tasted blood.Left with no choice, Zachary landed a rabbit punch to knock her out. He then wrapped his arms around her limp body.He wiped the blood on his mouth, bent down to pick the unconscious Serenity up, and headed upstairs.After placing her in bed, he sat by her and looked at her.He knew she would be angry, but he did not expect her to react vi
“Don’t panic, Zack. I’ll go over there right now. Where are you?”Grandma May calmed Zachary’s emotions.The old woman undeniably played a part in how the couple ended up now.Zachary’s tone softened a little after yelling. He said, “It won’t help even if you come, Nana. We all lied to Seren. All of us are liars to her. When she sees any of us, all she’ll remember is that we deceived her for months.”Grandma May sighed and said, “That’s why I told you... In that case, you think of a way to coax Seren. If you can’t, then let her calm down for a few days. Don’t push her too hard...”“I won’t let her out of my sight!”Zachary’s domineering character was at full blast.Grandma May was speechless. In the end, she said nothing and quietly hung up the phone. At the same time, she offered a few words of prayer for her grandson in her heart. His bad temper had not changed. It would not be that easy if he wanted to make up with Serenity.After being hung up on by his nana, Zachary called
