Upon hearing Jessica’s words, Hank hugged her. He lowered his head and kissed her on the face. “Darling, thank you for being considerate.”“We’re a married couple. I just want us to live much better than you and Liberty did.”At the mention of Liberty, Hank clearly stiffened. Nevertheless, he did not say anything. He soon carried Jessica to bed.Every moment of the wedding night was precious indeed.On the other hand, Serenity strolled outside the hilltop villa. Only when her legs were tired did she return to the house.Zachary silently followed behind her.Every time he wanted to speak to her, she would say, “You liar, stay away from me. I don’t want to talk to you now.”This caused Zachary to become submissive. All he could do was silently follow behind her.By the time Serenity returned to the house, her phone was already fully charged.She unplugged the charger and picked up her phone, only to see many incoming missed calls and WhatsApp messages. There were also text messa
Serenity was not just mad at Zachary but also the Yorks. Serenity replied to her sister’s message first before calling Jasmine.“Serenity.”Jasmine answered her call shortly. “Serenity, how are you now? Your phone had been turned off during the day. I called you numerous times when your phone was off. When I could finally get through at night, you didn’t pick up my call.”Serenity pretended to be fine in front of her good friend and said, “My phone ran out of battery, so it automatically turned off. That’s why you couldn’t get through. Later, I borrowed the liar’s charger to have my phone fully charged.”Liar…Jasmine could sense the fury in her words. She knew Serenity was still mad.It was hard for Serenity to cool down, considering that she was deceived by the person whom she shared her bed with.“So it turned out that your phone ran out of battery. You gave me a fright. Are you okay?”Serenity fell quiet for some time before she forced a laugh and said, “It’d be a lie to
“To buy cows and pigs, you need to go all the way to the countryside, right? That’s too far. You don’t need to. I want big-sized chickens and ducks. Buy more roosters that can already crow. With the roosters crowing at dawn every day, I’m sure it’ll annoy him.” Jasmine replied, “Alright. Leave it to me. I’ll handle it well.”It was not known whether Zachary would compromise after Serenity turned his villa into a zoo.“But Seren, will Mr. Zachary, I mean, the liar compromise? What’s more, he must have other villas too. Will he bring you to another villa?”Serenity paused for a moment before she responded, “I have no idea how he’ll react either. Anyhow, since he’s making things difficult for me, I’ll cause him trouble as well.”“It appears that the two of you are now enemies.”Glum, Serenity did not say anything.“I’ve told Josh to advise Mr. Zachary, yet Josh told me to advise you. He said Mr. Zachary had his reasons for deceiving you. Given that he’s the eldest grandson of the
“Honey.”Once the door was opened, Serenity looked at Zachary’s handsome face. He instantly wore a flattering smile.However, on other typical days, he would pull a long face, showing a stern expression. He would hardly smile. At that moment, Serenity felt that the smile was fake.“Honey, I’ve brought over your changing clothes.”Zachary handed her two sets of clothes. One set was pajamas, whereas the other was her outfit for tomorrow.“Let me bring them inside for you, okay?”Serenity forbade him to enter the room. After taking her clothes, she retreated and slammed the door shut. Then, she locked the door from the inside once again.Zachary was speechless.He did not walk away and stood at the door instead. At the same time, he was wondering when Seren would open the door and look for him.Sure enough, he heard the sound of the door being unlocked in two minutes. He immediately straightened his body and wore a smile on his handsome face.The moment Serenity pulled open the
Zachary’s handsome face turned grim. “Serenity, I’m not lying at all. Some of my words are sincere. I love you, and this is definitely true.”“Yes. You love me. You love lying to me, right? Are you going to get out? If you’re not, I’ll crush your leg!”After speaking frostily, Serenity forcefully shut the door.Zachary dared not feign pity and obediently withdrew his leg. Then, he watched Serenity shut the door and lock it.Only after some time did Zachary return to his room. After taking a bath, he moved a single-seater couch and placed it outside Serenity’s room. Then, he brought over a blanket. He sat on the couch with the blanket wrapping him and slept at the door to block her way.He was worried Serenity would sneak out of the room and climb the wall to leave the house after he fell asleep. In fact, Serenity did have such an idea.In the dead of night, she secretly walked to the door and opened the door gently. She pulled the door slightly open, only to see Zachary sleepin
It was impossible Zachary would allow Clive to come over.Clive was unaware that Zachary had restricted Serenity’s freedom. Serenity did not think about asking for Clive’s help either. If Clive came over to look for Zachary, he was bound to learn it.Zachary had no regard for other people.However, he must not hold Clive and his mother with contempt.Furthermore, Mrs. Stone was Serenity’s aunt and elder.She had the right to stand up for Serenity.“Alright. I’ll let Clive know.”With that, Josh promptly ended the call. If he had ended it any later, Zachary might ask him for a solution again.Zachary rejected his suggestions, so what could he do?Zachary soon left the villa. He told Brandt to remind Serenity to have her breakfast.He had half the group of security guards to watch the villa in case Serenity escaped when he was away.Forty minutes later at the CEO’s office in York Corporation.Zachary and Clive entered the office practically one after another.Zachary walked
After a while, Clive asked, “How did Serenity react after she learned of your identity? Her phone has been off, so I can’t get through.”Zachary said sarcastically, “You’re not close with your cousin because you haven’t spent much time bonding with her, huh? I could already get through Seren’s phone last night. You claimed that her phone had been off, but how many times have you tried to call her?“Why should I tell you her reaction? That’s our business. It has nothing to do with you.”Even though Mrs. Stone was Serenity’s aunt, they had not spent much time bonding with each other. Their relationship was new.To him, only his sister-in-law had the right to tell him off.The Stones had no right to do so.Clive was at a loss for words.After being quiet for a while, Clive continued, “Zachary, sorry to bother you today. I might sound selfish for considering Elisa’s feelings and not Serenity’s.“You know Serenity better than I do. You should know her temper. After she learned of yo
“If this had happened two months ago, I believe she’d happily agree to get a divorce without any regrets. But now, I don’t think she’ll do so. After all, it’s not easy to get over a relationship.”After pausing for a moment, Josh asked curiously, “Have you gotten her pregnant?”Zachary replied, “Nope…”Zachary and Serenity did not use protection. They tried their best to make a baby, but nothing happened.Perhaps they were not fated to have a baby yet.“Since you don’t have a child to connect you and Serenity, you have only yourself to rely on. Zachary, you’re no fool. Since the incident took place, you’ve done a series of things based on instinct. Ask yourself. If you were Serenity, how would you feel after being deceived, imprisoned, and hit?“Now, we’re not talking about whether you lied to her. This isn’t a big deal. The main issue is that the things you did after you made a mistake have upset Serenity.“You fear she wants a divorce, but can you stop her by imprisoning her?
