Then he passed the fast food he had bought to Serenity and whispered, “The boss has been working like mad lately. He hasn’t been eating properly. Whenever we send him food, he keeps forgetting to eat.”Serenity took the fast food, and said, “Got it. I’ll remind him.”Jim was extremely grateful.After closing the door, Serenity took a few deep breaths to suppress the heartache and anger she was feeling. When she walked into the kitchen, she saw Zachary pressing a hand against his stomach with his other hand supporting him against the kitchen counter, seemingly in a lot of pain.“You’re having a stomachache, aren’t you?”An angry voice filled the room.He did not have to turn his head to know it was his esteemed wife.Zachary stood up straight in a flash, but the pain emanating from his stomach twisted his expression.Serenity felt her heart ache incredibly when she saw this and went forward to support him. She helped him out of the kitchen and pressed him down onto the sofa, ask
“Liberty, I’m sending Zachary back.”Serenity said toward the direction of her sister’s room, not telling her that Zachary was feeling unwell and that she was sending him to the hospital.“Alright, be careful on the road,” Liberty answered from her room, not coming out. Internally she thought to herself with relief that at least they had made up a little.The troop of bodyguards waited downstairs and seeing that their boss was accompanied by the missus, they were surprised, but very quickly realized something was wrong as their boss seemed unwell.“Boss.”Jim and the rest greeted them.“Missus, what’s wrong with the boss?” the bodyguards asked, concerned.Serenity unlocked her car and said to Zachary, “Zachary, get in the car first.”“Jim, can you support your boss? He’s having gastric problems.”Jim made a sound of acknowledgment and hurriedly helped Zachary into the car. He could not help but continued to rat on his boss, “The boss hasn’t been eating his meals on time late
The large needle that preordained great pain danced in front of Zachary’s face.“Come here so I can give you your injection,” Serenity ordered with a stern face.A certain Mr. York sat up with a doleful expression. Looking at the large needle, he swallowed and asked tentatively, “Seren, can you prepare some painkillers for after?”“What do you think?”Zachary did not dare speak more with his esteemed wife glaring at him. Picking up the large needle and thinking of the pain, he felt terrified.“Seren, it’s too early. I’ll do it a bit later, okay?”“It’s up to you.”Serenity sat down in the armchair and leaned back. Then she dug out her phone and sent a voice note to her sister. “Liberty, make sure to latch the door from the inside. I’m not going back tonight.”Hearing that, Zachary’s expression brightened.The corners of his lips could not resist rising upwards.Although his stomach hurt a lot and he still had to take painful injections with a large needle, the whole ordeal ma
After the three vicious bites, Serenity took advantage of the time he was in pain to forcefully break out of his embrace and got up to bring over the vial of medicine to administer the injection. She handed it to him, her pretty face threatening, “Take it!”Zachary’s face and lips had been bitten by her and he was now in pain, but he still had to take the vial of medicine. He accepted the vial as his dark eyes looked at her.“Don’t pretend to be so pitiful. I won’t give in.”Zachary chuckled. She was prickly on the outside but a softie on the inside.He looked at her as he took the jab.It was very painful, but with her watching him, he felt that it was not painful at all anymore and even felt good.Very quickly, Zachary completed the jab. Once he was done, Serenity took the emptied syringe from him and took it into the kitchen to dispose of properly.The moment his wife left, Zachary immediately started searching everywhere for something in the living area.It was so painful
She had deliberately prepared many kinds of food for her own breakfast to make him drool.“I’m going to dinner tonight with my aunt, so I won’t be eating with you. If you’re not going to the hotel to eat, I’ve prepared dinner in the shop. You can get Jim to go over and pick it up,” Serenity said to the man sitting opposite her as she ate her bountiful and nutritious meal.“Want me to go with you? Which family is hosting the dinner you guys are attending?”“You don’t have to. Aunt Audrey is bringing Elisa and I. Which family? I’ve forgotten. There were too many invitations—I can’t remember them all.”Zachary said regretfully, “I don’t have to worry if your aunt and cousin will be with you. Then I’ll work overtime. Just get Jim to send the food over to me.”His wife was willing to cook for him now—no way he was going to eat at the hotel.“You can work overtime, but not too late. I’ll be back before 11 pm. If I don’t see you at home when I get back, I’m locking the door. You can spe
Grandma May said, “They don’t know what car I use, but they stopped your mother-in-law once, as well as your second aunt-in-law.”Seeing Serenity’s dark expression, she quickly comforted her. “We all know what kind of people they are. They’re asking for a bride price now, but their true intention is to disgust us with you so you’d have a bad time in our family.“We can still see through those little plans of theirs. Don’t worry, Seren. We didn’t let them get any benefits. When they intercepted your mother-in-law’s car, she called the police directly and said someone was blocking the road and trying to rob her.”“That granddad of yours is really shameless. He lay on the ground saying that he was hit, but he didn’t expect the road to be monitored by surveillance. The police came and checked the surveillance, then found out that he lay on the ground himself. They criticized him and lectured him, then ordered his children and grandchildren to take him away.“The most hateful thing was
Since Serenity and Zachary lived separately, Mrs. Lane went back to Brynfield daily to clean up and water the flowers on the balcony. She was no longer staying there and instead went back to the manor, the place she originally lived.Sam, the housekeeper who had returned from his leave, gave Mrs. Lane a car for her convenience.“Missus.”Mrs. Lane had just finished mopping the floor when she saw Serenity coming. She greeted the latter respectfully.“You can just call me Ms. Hunt like before, Mrs. Lane. Don’t call me Missus. It sounds weird to me.”She did not put on airs in front of Mrs. Lane.Mrs. Lane did not think it was appropriate and said, “Mr. Zachary will deduct my bonus if he finds out.“You’ll get used to it after hearing it more on a daily basis.”Serenity was speechless. All Zachary knew was how to threaten people.She entered the store.Jasmine saw her enter and checked her out from top to bottom.“What? Don’t you recognize me?”Jasmine laughed. “You look good
Serenity smiled. “Mrs. Lane and I should be enough.”The store her sister rented was not large. If too many people went to help, it would look crowded with the customers coming in to have breakfast.While the two friends chatted, two—no, three people walked inOne of them was Noah, Serenity’s youngest cousin. He tried stopping Serenity’s car in the middle of the night last year and wanted to teach her a lesson, but she sent him to the police station.He was released after fifteen days of detention, but he did not repent and instead hated Serenity with a passion.He dropped out of school and stopped studying. His parents spoiled him and felt that his grades were not good enough to get him accepted into a university anyway, so they let him do as he pleased.After dropping out of school, Noah did nothing except play games.He came along the last time his grandfather visited the store to cause trouble, but Serenity did not notice him because there were too many people.“Let me go!
