Chapter 688

Author: Gu Lingfei
To think Zachary owned a villa there and it was on the hilltop with the best view too.

Stuffing her phone back into her pocket, Serenity turned around and walked to the sofa for a seat. She did not break gaze with Zachary.

Zachary was looking at her.

He wondered if she was angry or pleasantly surprised.

Serenity appeared surprised, but not the good kind.

“Seren, w-we rushed to get married, so I…”

Zachary drew close and sat next to her. The moment he took a seat, Serenity scooted to the side, pulling a distance between them. She told him off, “Stay right there. Don’t come too close to me.”

Tensing her facial lines, Serenity uttered furiously, “I know why you kept it from me. Do you think I'll go after your money when I find out you own a villa?

“How much do you make annually as a senior executive in York Corporation? I bet it’s a few million dollars. You’re always busy at work, either working overtime or going to business parties. Do you claim the spending and hours from

seriously...just dragging this out. This doesn't make your story better. It actually frustrates your readers. At this point, I am definitely not going to keep reading this.

    After much silence, Zachary said, “I don’t have much savings left after purchasing the villa and the apartment in Brynfield. The car is only a mode of transport. I don’t need a luxury car since the one I have now does the job.” Zachary was flustered as he was making up more lies to cover up the web of lies from before. Serenity gave him another push. “Let go of me.” “Are you going to run?” “Where can I run to? I won’t tell you if I plan to run away. I can just pack my stuff and leave. I would be bluffing and trying to scare you if I made a huge commotion to leave. I’d be quiet if I wanted to leave for sure. It will be without hesitation, and you won’t be able to find me.” With his heart beating out of his chest, Zachary cautiously asked, “Seren, in what circumstances would you leave me?” “You must be guilty of doing me dirty to ask that question.” Zachary was quick to deny, “I just want to know, so that I won’t make that mistake and hurt you. I don’t want to give you a ch

    “Yeah, right.” Zachary went on to pack his bags. Serenity sat down, carrying on with her money counting. York Corporation was the top company in Wiltspoon for sure. The corporation had deep pockets that even the subsidiary company was generous. Serenity earned a few thousand dollars for the few days of caring for Zachary. Mr. Tank would have given Serenity more money, but she might suspect something. After counting the cash, Serenity got up and grabbed her go-to purse. It was a cheap canvas purse that cost a few dollars if bought in bulk online. Nevertheless, the purse was useful and could hold bills worth tens of thousands. Serenity stuffed the cash into the purse and watched Zachary pack the suitcase. There was not a lot of stuff. She packed his bags before Zachary went on his business trip. Since Serenity came in a hurry, she only brought along two changes of clothes. The daily necessities were bought here. It did not take long for Zachary to finish packing. He appro

    Ever since the start of the school’s winter holidays, Jasmine had been holing up at home. Her daily routine consisted of eating, sleeping, and reading romance novels on her phone. Her brother would get the occasional phone call from Josh to dine out, and Jasmine would invite herself to the get-together in case her brother might sell her out behind her back. Now that Jasmine received a message from Serenity that the latter was back, Jasmine quickly replied with a voice message. “How about Italian tonight? Mr. Bucham took my brother to an Italian place, and the food was great. I’ve been waiting for you to come back so we can try out the place. You have no idea. I couldn’t binge when dining with my brother and Mr. Bucham because I’d eat more than them.” Serenity responded to her with a smile, “I can’t tonight. I just got back with Mr. York. We’re going to have a slow night. How about tomorrow night? Get my sister and Elisa to join us.” “We don’t have to include Elisa since she e

    Zachary would usually take his Rolls Royce, but the chauffeur drove the sedan back to the old residence and was on standby during his business trip. “Your company’s parking lot is like a car show. You can see an array of cars here.” Serenity commented as she got into the car. She saw many luxury sedans. “We have a lot of senior executives in the office. People tend to get better cars when their incomes are high. No man can resist cars. Well, you know I prefer properties to cars. The value will only increase with time.” Serenity would not take Zachary’s word for it if she knew the cars in his garage could rival a car exhibition. “Men love cars, and women love properties. You can make a home out of a house.” Serenity had been saving up to buy a house. The car she had was a gift from Zachary. Her usual mode of transportation to work was her e-bike. “Have you texted your sister?” “I sent her a text, but I haven’t received a reply. She must be occupied with something. Ja

    After unlocking the gate, Zachary got back into the car and started the engine. He drove into the villa compound and parked on the empty driveway. He replied without Serenity pressing for answers. “My parents and Nana prefer living in the old residence and away from the bustle. They’re used to the place because they have been there for decades. They prefer their peace away from us kids. Nana would stay with us for a few days and disappear somewhere else.” Serenity concurred, “Yeah. Sounds like it.” She got out of the car and strolled around the front lawn. The landscape was great. The estate had a front lawn and backyard. There was a swimming pool, some pruned trees, and a pergola in the front. The tree near the pergola had a swing installed onto the branch. It was perfect to enjoy a good book or the view while sitting there. The backyard was lush with scenic and fruit trees. There were homegrown Wiltspoonian trees like apple and mango trees. Serenity observed the open spac

    “This is our home. We can spend the rest of our lives here, so there’s no rush to look around.” With his arms around Serenity, Zachary ushered her into the house, even picking her up in between to rush up the stairs. “I’ll prepare a sumptuous dinner for you downstairs once I get my fill.” Serenity was at a loss for words. They entered the master bedroom on the second floor, but before Serenity could check out the room, the desperate man put her down on the bed. With his muscular body pinning her down, Serenity lifted her arms and nudged him. She said, “You’re heavy.” Holding himself up with his elbows, Zachary lowered his gaze to meet hers. He did not hide the burning passion in his eyes as he inquired in a gruff voice, “Can I, Seren? “It’s not too late for you to change your mind. I can just take another cold shower.” Serenity caressed his face. “You got your good looks from your parents combined. To have a piece of meat hanging around me every day, I could’ve turned int

    Having been caught searching the web, Serenity could not stop the burn in her cheeks. She sat up and snatched her phone back. Locking the screen, Serenity pretended like nothing ever happened and said, “I was just looking around because I was bored. Where’s the alcohol?” Zachary brought two glasses of alcohol over and gave one to Serenity. He uttered, “We didn’t have dinner, so we can’t drink much. Just a little will do.” “That’s so little. I’ll finish this in two gulps before I can taste the alcohol.” Serenity whined before taking the glass from Zachary. She took a sip to savor the taste. As expected, the liquor was not strong enough. He must be afraid she would get wasted. She downed the drink like it was water. Zachary took a sip and stared at her. Since he was not self-conscious, he did not need alcohol to psyche up. “Aren’t you going to drink that? I’ll have it if you’re not going to.” Serenity reached out to grab his wine glass. His glass was bigger and had mor

    Zachary appeared rather delighted as he strolled down the stairs. Anyone near him right now could hear that he was humming to a tune. It had been a while since they got married, but Zachary was no longer just Serenity’s husband by name. He took strides into the kitchen and grabbed the apron hanging off the door. Zachary put on the apron and opened the fridge to check for ingredients. He took out a few ingredients for the dishes he planned to make. First things first, Zachary wanted to make a broth suitable for women after their first time. He got the ingredients ready and dumped them in a slow cooker set on high. He then went on to prepare the next dish. After much thought, he gave Sam a call. With the line connected, Zachary instructed, “Sam, deliver some live shrimp over. I don’t see any fresh seafood in the fridge.” The other dishes did not matter as Serenity’s favorite was shrimp. It was a must-have. “Have you and the missus had dinner yet?” Sam felt bad. “You shoul

    “Sugar is a young and beautiful woman like you. She’s also skilled in self-defense.”Dylan walked toward her.“Little fox, are you Sugar? Silver once had ‘Fox’ as his nickname too. You’re one of Silver’s disciples, right?”Dylan did not know if Imogen was Fox, but he had long suspected Sugar was.That was because Sugar had small details that mirrored Fox’s.He was not able to confirm it because Sugar noticed that he suspected her and no longer gave him the chance to test her.That only made him more certain that Sugar was Fox.“Does he have to be my master just because his nickname used to be ‘Fox’? There are plenty of people with nicknames like that.“I’m not Sugar, so stop guessing. However, I’ve heard of Silver before. The York family is quite impressive to know of him even though he’s been in seclusion for decades. That means your family is quite close to him.”Dylan stared at her intently.Her expression was calm without a trace of guilt.The more she acted like that, t

    “Dylan York, are you trying to pursue Ms. Doyle again?” Fox asked.Dylan denied it. “No. I made it clear to Ms. Doyle before. It’s my fault for not being able to love her. That was months ago, so she should’ve moved on from me. I won’t go looking for her again just to stir things up. Little fox, the person I like is you. You’re the only one I’ll marry in my lifetime.”Dylan declared that he would not marry anyone other than Fox.He had only set his eyes on Imogen because he suspected that she and Fox were the same person.Imogen never noticed, but Fox did.She was sharp as ever.Dylan did not mind that his future wife was better than him. He was confident in himself as a man. Besides, there was nothing embarrassing about being defeated by his wife.For example, Hayden was more capable than Kevin, but was Kevin embarrassed about it?Not at all. Kevin doted on his wife like she was the center of his world.Hayden was an amazing woman who lived more than two decades as a man, but

    “Yes, it’s her.”“What’s wrong with her? Why don’t you pursue her? I remember you did for a while.”Dylan looked at her and said, “Ms. Doyle is great. I deliberately approached her and pursued her at first because of Nana’s arrangement, but later, I realized I kept thinking about you. I never felt any true affection for Ms. Doyle before. Even though she’s wonderful, and I trust my nana’s judgment, I can’t force myself.“Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and the men of the York family never divorce. I don’t want to marry someone I don’t truly love and end up being the first York man to divorce. Nana would break my legs for bringing shame to the family.”Grandma May allowed them to choose freely before they were married.However, once married, they had to fulfill their responsibilities as husbands and adhere to the York family’s unwritten rules—to remain loyal to their families and marriages, loving only their wives for life.If any dared to have an affair, they would be expelled

    “Little fox, I did take your stuff, but it was retaliation. Think about why I took your stuff. I wouldn’t have done it if you hadn’t made the first move. Don’t think you can deny everything you’ve done just because I took back what you took from me.”Dylan defended himself innocently. “Honestly, I thought of returning it to you, but you’re so elusive. You’re like a ghost sometimes. Even if I wanted to return it, I wouldn’t know where to find you. If you’d just told me your name, where you live, or given me a way to contact you, I would’ve returned it long ago.”Fox laughed coldly. “Is it my fault now? How many times have we met after you took back your stuff? You had plenty of chances to return it to me. I even went to your house to ask for it, but did you give it to me?“Dylan York, your shamelessness has reached a new level in the short time we haven’t met. Does your grandmother know how brazen you are? Does your mother know?”Dylan chuckled. “Whether my mom knows doesn’t matter.

    Therefore, she left Wiltspoon.Although she did go to Wiltspoon again as Sugar, it was purely because of Silver and not Dylan.Imogen did not expect Dylan would be interested in her again a few months later.Unlike last time, he had been secretive and observed her every move. Did he think she did not notice him?Imogen wanted to know what Dylan was up to.Was he trying to pursue “Imogen” again?Were the York men not loyal forever to the women they fell in love with?Why was Dylan acting differently?It seemed he was going for his previous target since he had failed to pursue Chameleon Fox.“I came here for you.”Dylan told the truth.Indeed, he was in Huntington for his little fox while suspecting she was Imogen.He wanted to confirm whether Fox was both Imogen and Sugar.Dylan observed his little fox closely. She did not look like Imogen or Sugar. Well, she did have some similar habitual movements as Sugar.That was why he suspected that Sugar was Chameleon Fox.He ev

    Dylan closed the door.He did not walk over immediately.Instead, he stood there and watched Chameleon Fox quietly.He missed her to the point he was going crazy.That girl was cruel.She had not looked for him for a long time.Did she not want him to return her stuff to her anymore?If the answer was no, Dylan would keep it as a symbol of their love.When he took the little fox’s item away, he had no thought of returning it.While he admitted that he was being petty, it was Fox who bothered him first. He was simply counterattacking by taking her item.“It’s cold and late. Are you here because you miss me? Or do you have some other business?”Dylan walked toward the little fox. He smiled as he spoke and focused his gaze on her. He could not bear to take his eyes off her, not even for a second.“Why are you here in Huntington on this cold day instead of celebrating the new year with your family?” Chameleon Fox asked.Dylan stepped forward and placed his car key on the table

    Dylan had a stare-down with the dogs.He said in a low voice, “Why do they all like having large dogs?”Many wealthy families in Wiltspoon liked keeping large dogs to guard their houses.Some of the dogs were even Mastiffs. Anyway, they were all aggressive breeds.There were designated people to care for the dogs. The dogs were usually leashed during the day. They could also walk freely in the backyard at night, which also allowed them to guard the house.Dylan was not confident that he could deal with the dogs. He turned and escaped. It seemed he had gotten off on the wrong foot.The dogs thought they had prey to play with, but the burglar ended up running away.Therefore, they started barking.The barks soon alerted the Doyles.The male worker in charge of looking after the dogs was the fastest to arrive.However, they did not spot Dylan. They simply saw the dogs barking in the direction of the wall and guessed that someone must have tried to trespass.What a bold move. Ho

    By the time Zachary was done with his shower, Serenity had already fallen asleep.He had wanted to spend some quality lover’s time with her. Since she was asleep, he had no choice but to lie beside her and kiss her face. He said softly, “How could you fall asleep before I came out?”His gaze landed on her baby bump again.He caressed the bump lightly but dared not do it for too long. He did not want the baby to wake up and start kicking, which would affect Serenity’s sleep.“I love you, Seren,” whispered Zachary in her ear.Although they had been married for quite some time, he still loved expressing his feelings for her. Those words came from the bottom of his heart.Serenity did not reply to him. She was in a deep sleep.Zachary would not wake his beloved wife. Soon, he fell asleep with her in his arms.Meanwhile, in Huntington, Dylan secretly went to the wall surrounding the backyard of the Doyles’ manor late and dark into the night. He looked up at the high walls and wond
