Chapter 868

Author: Gu Lingfei
Struck by a thought, Zachary flipped the lights on and hurried to Serenity’s bedroom. He flung the door open and looked at the unchanged décor. Her things were still around.

He examined her closet and found a few pieces of clothing missing. Her suitcase was still beside the wardrobe. She did not take all her things with her.

Zachary sighed heavily with relief.

He was so afraid of losing someone for the first time ever.

Sitting on Serenity’s bed, Zachary brushed his fingers along her sheets as if he could feel her through her belongings.

“Seren…”

He murmured her name.

“I’ll prove to you through my actions that you won’t hear another lie from me again!

“You can ignore me for a year if I ever do anything to deceive or hurt you. Um… A year’s a bit long. Maybe three months.”

After much thought, Zachary believed he would go crazy from three months of no interaction with Serenity. He mumbled to himself, “I think a week is fine. I lost my mind when you didn’t talk to me for a

    Serenity said with a smile, “Of course, we’ll be open for business.” “They said you’ll sell the business and take it easy with life when we found out you were the missus of the York family. They also said they are willing to buy your business no matter the cost because of the good energy in your shop.” Mr. Charles added amid chuckles, “The place only has good energy because you’re there.” Did these people think they would marry up like Serenity just by taking over her shop? Nevertheless, it was not a bad idea to buy Serenity’s business. He could advertise saying that the shop once belonged to Mrs. York. “I’m still the same me, Mr. Charles. Jasmine and I put a lot of hard work into the shop. I can’t just give up on the shop after running it for so many years.” “I heard that the wives of wealthy families can’t work. Does Mr. York allow you to work?” Mr. Charles was in the mood for some gossip.Serenity kept quiet for a while before answering, “I’m a free person, Mr. Charle

    Jasmine smiled. “Now this is the Serenity I know.” After parking her bike, Jasmine went to move the display racks out with Serenity. “Did Mr. York bother you afterward?” Jasmine asked with concern. While dusting off the racks, Serenity replied, “Do you think he would let me breathe and cool down for a few days?” “Nope.” Jasmine added, “Just turn a blind eye so long as he doesn’t cross the line by knocking you out and putting you under house arrest like last time. Mr. York is distressed and scared to lose you.” Serenity was without a word. Seeing that Serenity was not in the mood for a relationship chat, Jasmine took the hint and stopped diving into the topic.“Ah, the shop’s finally open. Serenity. Serenity.” The voice from the door was one to dig under Serenity’s skin. Old Mr. Hunt, leading his group of sons and grandsons, walked not the shop with big smiles. “Serenity.” Old Mr. Hunt beamed, looking at Serenity as if she was a goldmine. Man, he was blinded by the

    Old Mr. Hunt said, “Fine, takeaway food it is. Serenity, don’t forget to pay the man later.” Serenity wanted to laugh. Leopards sure could not change their spots. These people were always trying to milk her in every way possible. She coldly blurted, “You order, you pay.” Serenity took a glance at the local produce John and Mike hoisted into the shop. Since the sacks were not sealed, she could see they were a bag of sweet potato and a sack of yam. Old Mr. Hunt thought he could handle the money of her business with two sacks of produce. She could not make this stuff up. Only her granddad would do such a thing. “Let bygones be bygones, Serenity. We have put the matter behind us. Don’t hold grudges. I’m your granddad no matter what. We’re more than willing to make it up to you and even make a public apology online. “I told John to draw up an apology, and it will soon be published online. “Now that all the misunderstandings are cleared up, we’re still one big happy famil

    It was no secret to the whole of Wiltspoon what the Hunts had done to Serenity and her sister. The Hunts put on airs and walked around town as the in-laws to the Yorks now that they realized Zachary was Mr. York. The Hunts took shamelessness to a whole new level.“You must be kidding. The door’s right there. Get out right now!” Annoyed by their brazenness, Serenity did not want to waste her manners on them and showed them the door. John and the others fell back, but they only kept one foot out of the door.They were counting on Old Mr. Hunt to face Serenity solo. Since the old man was a senior, Serenity would not resort to violence no matter how angry she was. “Serenity!” Scowling, Old Mr. Hunt shouted Serenity’s name and waited until he got Serenity’s full attention before uttering, “We can leave but not before I get a million bucks. I can go back and look after your grandmom. I’ll take them to cause a scene at your husband’s office if you don’t give me the money. “Wi

    “Just you wait. I’ll kick up a fuss at your husband’s office and demand that he forks out the money. Otherwise, I’ll ask your in-laws instead. You won’t be able to show your face there. Your in-laws will find you an eyesore and kick you out!” threatened Old Mr. Hunt. That was what he intended to do. Prior to coming, his grandsons showed him the ropes in case Serenity and Liberty hated their guts too much to pay up. Now that Serenity was Mrs. York, she must want to keep up with her appearance more than ever. Serenity would pay them hush money for the sake of her in-laws’ reputation if they brazenly cause a commotion. The Hunts could make a racket at Zachary’s office or the Yorks’ family home if Serenity refused to give them money. Serenity was not on good terms with them, but it did not change the fact that they were family. Their existence would be an embarrassment to Serenity regardless. Serenity was unlikely to gain a foothold since she married into the York family as a n

    The Hunts treated the sisters more like enemies than families. “Here you are, my good grandson-in-law. Hurry up and do something about your wife. Serenity doesn’t know her manners. Without tough love from her parents, she hasn’t learned much about respect. I’m sure your family’s all about social graces since you’re an heir. You should divorce the uncultured girl. “You better keep her on a tight leash if you want to stay with her. Hit her if she refuses to listen. You need to beat her into submission. Her grandmom used to be defiant, but I gave her a beating every day until she did everything I say. “Serenity drenched my clothes. You might want to give me some money to get a change of clothes.” The stoic air around Zachary gave Old Mr. Hunt the chills. Still, Old Mr. Hunt psyched himself up to put forth his opinion without shame. Jasmine was tempted to whack the old man. A grandfather like Old Mr. Hunt was unheard of. She had a strong reason to doubt that Serenity’s father

    There was no justice in the world. Old Mr. Hunt’s other granddaughters were rather dutiful, but the insolent granddaughter was one who bagged herself a rich husband. Seeing that Granddad had made a quick exit, John and the others had no reason to stick around.They all ran back to the cars and sped away. Zachary plonked the bucket down onto the ground, spattering water onto his pants. “I dare you not to run, old man!” Zachary shouted at the runaway cars. He was thinking of getting his bodyguards to haul Old Mr. Hunt into the car for them to drive away if the old man would not budge. It made things a lot easier as the old man did not hang on for long and took off on his own. Serenity and Jasmine emerged from the shop. Jasmine said, “Seren, are these people here to patch things up? Well, don’t make peace with them even if they make a public apology online. They’re jealous that things are going well for you.” With a long face, Serenity uttered, “I have no intention of mak

    Mr. Zachary said something about putting his dignity aside to win his wife back. He seemed to care about his dignity when it came down to it though. Jim rushed into the car to grab the roses for Mr. Zachary. “Sir, these are the flowers you bought for the missus. You haven’t given them to her.” Jim handed the bouquet to Zachary. Zachary snapped out of his thoughts. That was right. He bought Seren some roses. Grabbing the bouquet from Jim, Zachary uttered in a husky voice, “I’ll let Sam know to double your bonus.” Although over the moon, Jim remained respectful on the surface. “The bonus doesn’t matter to me so long as you and the missus can get back together.” “I’ll use your bonus to buy my wife some flowers then.” Jim was speechless. All Jim did was pledge his loyalty, but Mr. Zachary took away his doubled bonus. Everybody turned their heads away to hide their laughter. With the bouquet in hand, Zachary was about to step into the shop when he pulled his leg back

    Dylan suspected that Imogen was Fox. If they were indeed the same person, then it was true that he had only ever pursued Imogen.“Was he okay after standing outside for more than half an hour?” Winston asked.Leticia chimed in, “Jen had Wendy make him a bowl of hot soup. Knowing that the boy doesn’t like spicy food, I made sure she added plenty of spice. It was definitely spicy. Wendy said Jen made sure he finished it before leaving.”Imogen had made Dylan drink such spicy soup, but he was still willing to drink it for her. He was clearly doing this out of consideration for Imogen, not wanting to make things too awkward between their families.“Lucky for him,” Winston muttered.Imogen was speechless.“Why did he come looking for you, Jen?” Winston asked in concern. “Was he here to ask to reconcile? If that’s the case, you mustn’t agree too easily. He has to pursue you again, and for at least two years, before you even think about agreeing to be with him. He needs to know how to

    After deciding to go home and plead with his grandmother, Dylan did not stay much longer at the Doyle household. However, he still pinched his nose and finished the bowl of soup after Imogen persuaded him to.She personally saw him off at the gate.“Mr. York, remember to see a doctor when you get back. Take some medicine for a few days, don’t be careless,” Imogen said, following him out mainly to remind him to get treated once he got home, so he would not end up with a serious illness.People who were usually very healthy tended to get very sick when they did fall ill.“My health is my responsibility. If I don’t feel well, I’ll definitely go see a doctor. Don’t worry about me, Ms. Doyle. Even if I fall sick because of what happened today, it’s my fault. I won’t blame you or your family,” Dylan said, thinking Imogen was concerned he might blame her father.He could not bring himself to hope for anything beyond that.Imogen smiled. “Please send my regards to Grandma May and Serenit

    “Mr. York, are you really not going to give up? Are you going to keep chasing after her? What is it about her that I lack?”Imogen really wanted to know why Dylan could not fall for her when she interacted with him as her true self but instead, he fell head over heels in love with her when she wore a different identity.“Ms. Doyle, you’re a great person, really—you’re wonderful. It’s just that I’m not worthy of you,” Dylan replied sincerely. “There’s nothing about you that’s inferior to Fox. I don’t even know why I fell for her. Maybe it’s because I kept having the same dream of her over and over.“Before I approached you, I had already dreamt of Fox many times, and then I actually met her in real life. I guess, if you had to ask why I fell for Fox and not for you, I can only say it was because I had already fallen for her in my dream. When the dream became a reality, it felt natural.”Imogen was silent.“Actually, I only met the real Fox after I started getting closer to you. I k

    Dylan said, “Go ahead.”He was a bit hungry too and wanted to eat.Imogen called for Wendy and instructed her to make a fresh pot of tea and serve some of the snacks she usually ate.Once Wendy finished preparing the tea, Imogen poured a cup for Dylan and said, “You can start your story now.”“Ms. Doyle, I’m not making up a story, I’m—Ms. Doyle, you are Fox, aren’t you?” Dylan asked again.“Mr. York, I’ve told you, I don’t know who Fox is. I only know a fox is an animal, like in the zoo. If you ask me again if I’m Fox, I’ll think you’re calling me a vixen.”“‘Fox’ is just a nickname, meaning she’s very cunning and deceptive. I call her Chameleon Fox for her ability to shape-shift into many different identities. She changes so much that people mistake her for many different people, but in reality, she’s only one person.”Imogen looked quite interested and said, “Oh, so you think I’m Chameleon Fox, who likes to deceive people? Do you have any evidence for this?”“No, I don’t.”“

    Couples always talked about eternal love, but how many could truly last forever?Dylan stammered, unable to say anything. Could he say that he suspected she was Fox? It was just a guess, with no evidence.Under Imogen’s gaze, Dylan steeled himself and spoke honestly, “I came to apologize to you.”Imogen raised an eyebrow. “Apologize? You already apologized to me the last time we spoke. There’s no need to apologize again. I’m not angry at you. When it comes to matters of the heart, it’s all about reciprocation. You can’t force it.“Feelings can’t be pressured into existence, so I won’t pressure you to accept me.“Plus, it’s been so long, and I have no feelings for you anymore. For that, I should thank you for clearing things up for me early on. At that time, I had just started to like you and could give up so quickly because of that.”Dylan, embarrassed, said, “Ms. Doyle, it’s not about that. Recently, I… secretly followed you.”“You followed me? Why?” Imogen pretended to be clue

    “Drink it while it’s hot. Only when it’s steaming will it have the best effect to ward off the cold.”Dylan nodded, wiping his nose with a tissue. He threw the tissue into the trash bin, but when he saw that the bin was full of tissues, he felt even more embarrassed.He picked the steaming hot soup up carefully and took a big sip.It was so spicy!The spice almost made him spit it out. Remembering that Imogen was right next to him, he forced himself to swallow it. After just one sip, Dylan put the bowl down.“Ms. Doyle, the soup is too hot. I’ll drink it later,” he said.It was too spicy. He did not want to take a second sip.“I’ll take the medicine first,” he added.Compared to drinking the soup, Dylan would rather take the medicine. The medicine might be bitter, but he could handle it.Imogen immediately called him out. “You’re afraid of the spice and you don’t want to drink the soup, do you?”Dylan sneezed again and then poured himself some water to take the medicine.Hav

    All he could do was hold it in. However, he soon sneezed again.Imogen commented, “My dad told you to stand in the cold without your coat, and you really did it, like an idiot. It’s not like you feel anything for me or you’re trying to win my affection, so there’s really no need for you to listen to my dad.”Luckily, she came out quickly enough. Otherwise, he would have turned into an icicle.“It was my fault before. I hurt you, so it's only natural that Mr. and Mrs. Doyle are angry with me. They didn’t hit me or scold me, and they just made me stand out in the cold for a while; they’re already being very lenient,” said Dylan, sneezing again.He was usually in good health, but this time, he was afraid he might really catch a cold.Imogen glanced at him without saying anything. She led Dylan into the house and asked their housekeeper if the soup was ready.Wendy replied, “Almost.”Imogen nodded and asked Dylan to sit down. Then, she poured him a cup of tea and asked, “Have you ea

    Dylan finally put his coat on after Imogen said that. He had only been standing there for half an hour but even in that short time, he had become so cold.Once he put his jacket on, Imogen turned around and began walking inside. “Come with me.”“Okay,” Dylan quickly bent down to grab the gifts before quickening his steps to catch up with Imogen. “Thank you, Ms. Doyle.”Imogen glanced at him for a moment before turning away. “I was just afraid you might freeze to death at my doorstep, and then your family would come after mine. Plus, since your sisters-in-law are my good friends, I couldn't just let you die at my gate.”After leaving Wiltspoon, Imogen had not gone back there under her real name, but she had stayed in touch with Serenity and the others and was still on very good terms with them.Dylan smiled and said, “Serenity will give birth in a few months, and Josh’s wife is also pregnant, but she's a month ahead of Serenity. Liberty and Duncan have already registered their marr

    Her daughter’s excellence was all thanks to Silver’s influence.“What I wanted to tell you was that Dylan is standing at our doorstep. He said he wanted to see you. Your dad and I refused and told him to leave, but he’s not budging.”Imogen was not surprised by this, but she still pretended to be surprised, so as not to raise her mother’s suspicion.“Why’s he here?” Imogen asked, feigning ignorance.“Who knows? He didn’t say. He only said he wanted to see you. The way he treated you, playing with your feelings—your dad and I have been holding in a lot of anger for a long time. “But you didn’t want us to confront him, so we couldn’t vent it. Now he’s come knocking, wanting to see you? It won’t be that easy.”Imogen was not planning to meet Dylan either.“Your dad told him to stand outside for two hours with his coat off and that if he doesn’t freeze to death, he’ll let him see you.”Imogen was speechless for a moment. “Mom, it’s freezing outside.
