Back at the hilltop villa, Zachary wanted to carry Serenity out of the car.“I’ll get out by myself. I don’t need you to carry me. Don’t touch me!”Serenity refused to let him carry her and did not want to let him touch her again.After pushing him away, she got out of the car by herself.Brandt came out of the house.He was surprised to see Serenity and instinctively called out, “Mrs. York.”Serenity said coldly, “Don’t call me Mrs. York. I’m not Mrs. York. The great Mr. York is out of my league!”Her words were all barbed and sarcastic.She was really pissed off.She turned her head and said to Zachary, “Didn’t you say you lived alone? Lying is second nature to you, isn’t it? You don’t even need to come up with a script. You lie as easily as you breathe.”His acting skills were too great, and she was not sharp enough to see through him.She was a fool.Just because she saw that he drove an MPV worth a few hundred thousand and lived in a local neighborhood instead of a vil

“I didn’t even know you were from a rich family! What would I want from you? When we fought for the first time, I already told you that I have motives. I saw you had a house for me to live in, so I didn’t have to rent a house. I saw you were mature and steady with a stable job, so my sister would be satisfied and assured.”Zachary said bitterly, “Seren, I know you married me to reassure your sister, not because you wanted my money or me. It was a misunderstanding on my part. I was wrong.“I’m sorry, Seren. You can beat me or scold me if you want. Since I’ve done something wrong, I should be punished. You can punish me however you want.”He would not deny the accusations.Serenity glared at him.“At first, I hid my identity to test your character. Nana insisted that I marry you, but I wanted to know if you were a person worth spending the rest of my life with. That’s why I hid my identity and lived with you like an ordinary person.“As time passed, I’ve come to realize that you we

“Don’t panic, Zack. I’ll go over there right now. Where are you?”Grandma May calmed Zachary’s emotions.The old woman undeniably played a part in how the couple ended up now.Zachary’s tone softened a little after yelling. He said, “It won’t help even if you come, Nana. We all lied to Seren. All of us are liars to her. When she sees any of us, all she’ll remember is that we deceived her for months.”Grandma May sighed and said, “That’s why I told you... In that case, you think of a way to coax Seren. If you can’t, then let her calm down for a few days. Don’t push her too hard...”“I won’t let her out of my sight!”Zachary’s domineering character was at full blast.Grandma May was speechless. In the end, she said nothing and quietly hung up the phone. At the same time, she offered a few words of prayer for her grandson in her heart. His bad temper had not changed. It would not be that easy if he wanted to make up with Serenity.After being hung up on by his nana, Zachary called

“This is your true personality. You’re always self-centered and lord over everything. You’re overbearing, arrogant, egotistical, and even paranoid!”Serenity’s words were full of mockery.That was Zachary’s character.He behaved the same way at the beginning of their marriage. Even if he pretended to be an ordinary person, his mannerisms were ingrained in him and could not be changed.It was only after the couple’s feelings warmed up and they had two conflicts that his overbearing self improved slightly.Now, he revealed his true colors again.It was suffocating to be with a Zachary York like that.That was especially true for Serenity, a woman who liked her independence. If she had a conflict with a man like Zachary, the fight would escalate and only worsen.Zachary clearly wanted to calm Serenity down, but he kept making mistakes that exacerbated his case, causing her anger to soar even higher. There was no way to extinguish the fury now.“Seren...”Zachary let her go and i

The enraged and hateful Serenity who could not get out finally went back into the house and locked herself in a guest room. She pulled out her cell phone, wanting to ask her sister or best friend for help, but found that it had already run out of battery.“The heavens sure are testing me!”Zachary did not pester Serenity when she locked herself in the guest room.He was looking for help too.He went to Josh out of habit.Josh had just sent Jasmine back to the bookstore after bringing a charger to charge her e-bike.“Mr. Bucham, could you ask Zachary what he did to Seren?”Jasmine was concerned about Serenity, who was forcibly taken away by Zachary.Josh hummed. “I’ll call him now to ask.”That being said, Josh had a bad feeling in his heart.He knew Zachary inside out.Zachary most likely did not handle it well.Well, he was suffering the consequences of deceiving his wife.Of course, he deserved it.In the beginning, he concealed his identity to examine Serenity’s charac
