“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?
“It’s not a big deal now even though Serenity brought up the divorce because she hasn’t taken action. All she did was draft a divorce agreement. As long as you haven’t received the agreement, there’s still a chance to turn back. It depends on how you handle it.“Give it some thought. I’ll go out and get you some food. Look at yourself. After a night, you lost the vitality you used to have. You look spiritless, and I sympathize with you.“Alas, why aren’t you in love with me instead? If you are, I guarantee that you won’t be facing these troubles.”Zachary grabbed something from the desk and hurled it at Josh. He could not help but taunt, “I’m straight. Stop tricking me. If Ms. Sox finds out about it, you’ll have to forget about getting together with her.”After Josh saw him smile, he said, “Now that you can laugh, I’m relieved.”He left and bought his best friend some food.It warmed Zachary’s heart.He was extremely fortunate to have Josh as his buddy.When Zachary was alone i
Zachary glanced at the stack of documents held by Mr. Chaplin and said, “Send them to Callum and tell him to take care of it. If he doesn’t dare make a decision, then tell him to ask Nana.“Also, tell him that I might only come back to the company occasionally these days. He’s also a man from the York family, so he should help share the burden of the family business.”Mr. Chaplin nodded and agreed.Was the boss going to put aside his work and devote himself to coaxing his wife?Zachary took large strides to the elevator after instructing Mr. Chaplin.A few minutes later, he left York Corporation in his car.At the same time, Mr. Chaplin knocked on Callum’s office door and relayed what Zachary said to him.Callum’s face fell when he looked at the pile of documents that Mr. Chaplin was holding. Then, he said, “Leave them here. I’ll tell you to get them when I’m done.”“Thank you, Mr. Callum.“By the way, Mr. Zachary said he might only occasionally come to the office these days.
Zachary’s eyes flashed with hurt, but he did not react as fiercely as he did yesterday.He said gently, “Seren, do you really want to keep those little animals? If you do, I’ll tell Brandt to lead the way. Ms. Sox and you can go see our family orchard. If you think it’s suitable to rear chickens there, you can keep them there. You can take care of them yourself if you want or let the workers do it.”Serenity frowned. “I didn’t see an orchard at your house when you brought me over during the holidays.”“The hills planted with fruit trees next to Wildridge Manor is the orchard. It’s the York family’s ancestral manor.”Serenity was not surprised that her in-laws had a manor.They were rich.They were involved in all sorts of industries as long as there was money to be earned.“Are you willing to let me out of this villa?”Serenity captured the key points of Zachary’s remarks.Zachary looked at her, and she met his gaze. When the couple looked at each other, Serenity finally saw t
Serenity felt like she could go crazy if she was kept under house arrest.Fortunately, Zachary came around and was willing to return her freedom.“Uncle Zack.”Sonny saw Zachary as Serenity picked him up, and he happily stretched his arms out to Zachary, wanting the latter to carry him.Zachary satisfied the little one and carried him.“Higher, Uncle Zack. Go higher!”Zachary laughed and lifted Sonny up in the sky, generating streams of laughter from the little boy.“That truck...”Not waiting for Liberty to finish her question, Zachary said, “Seren said she wanted to eat chickens that she raised herself, so Ms. Sox helped to buy these chickens. I’m planning to ask Brandt to take Seren to my orchard to see if we can move and breed these chickens there.”Liberty looked at her sister and asked suspiciously, “Why do you want to raise chickens all of a sudden?”Seren paused and said, “Since we already bought them, we need a place to keep them.”Liberty looked at Serenity and the
Everyone sighed in relief at Zachary’s words.They thought he was going back on his word.Fortunately, he was not.Liberty quickly said, “Don’t worry, Zachary. I’ll look after Seren these days. I won’t let her drive fast or drink alcohol!”Then, she added, “If she really wants to drink, I’ll let her drink a few cans with me at home. I won’t let her go to the bar again.”“I’ll leave her in your care.”Zachary said to Serenity, “Seren, stay at your sister’s place for a few days and tell me when you want to come home. I’ll come pick you up. If you don’t want to live with me, you can stay at the house in Brynfield while I move back here.”Serenity looked at him for a long time and said, “Take care.”She got into the car.“Look after yourself, Zachary. I’ll take care of Seren. I’ll make sure she’s hale and hearty when you pick her up.”Serenity was speechless.Was her sister raising her like a pig?After Liberty spoke to her brother-in-law, she got in the car. She fastened her s
Brandt responded respectfully, then said in concern, “It’s cold and windy outside, sir. Let’s go back inside. You haven’t eaten anything since you got up today.”Zachary did not move and asked Brandt, “Will she come back if I faint from hunger?”Brandt was speechless.Zachary smiled wryly. “I was just asking. I won’t neglect my own health. I still want to have a lot of children and grandchildren with Seren and live with her until our hair turns gray. I won’t live to have gray hair if I starve myself.”Brandt quickly said, “The missus eats and drinks well. I think this mentality of hers is commendable.”He was terrified that Zachary would deliberately starve to the point of fainting. If the missus did not come back, then he would starve to death.“She... She doesn’t love me as much as I love her.”That was why she could be a little more ruthless.“Jim,” Zachary shouted in a low voice.Jim hurriedly trotted over.“Get the car. I want to go back to the manor for a few days.”“Y
Grandma May choked and said sheepishly, “I thought that would come naturally and didn’t have to be taught.”She added to herself, “A couple only learns to cherish each other by experiencing ups and downs together.”Tania was speechless.A maid entered.“Old Mrs. York and Mrs. York, Mr. Zachary is back.”Upon hearing that, Grandma May scurried away like a startled bird. Her movements were so agile that they were not befitting of her age.“Tania, I’ll go back to my room and lie down. If Zack asks, tell him that I’ve fallen ill because I was too worried about him and Serenity.”Tania was speechless. “Don’t blame me if Zack sends you to the hospital.”“I’ll be fine as long as he doesn’t send me to the crematorium.”Grandma May hid in her room as fast as possible. She lay on the bed and pretended to be sick.After lying down for a while, she did not hear a knock on the door.She thought to herself, ‘Is that brat so angry that he doesn’t even care about my so-called illness? So th
