The strange marriage - Chapter 499

“You‘re a b*stard! You won‘t even give me a chance to explain. What you see isn’t always the truth.”
Serenity let go of Zachary and angrily pinched him on the arm.
He scared her.
She thought they were entering another phase of silent treatment.
Zachary quietly took her pinching. It hurt like hell, but he did not care.
All was good knowing that she cared about him.
“Shawn confessed his feelings to me, but I rejected him. I‘m your wife. I won‘t leave you unless you
decide you don‘t want me anymore.”
“Really?”
The concealment of his identity came to mind.
Would she stay by his side when she was to find out that he had been lying to her for so long?
“Don‘t you believe me?”
Letting out a sigh, Zachary pulled her into his arms. “Serenity, I was really angry when I saw you with
Shawn. My instinct told me to leave. I know that you were not to blame. Shawn was all over you.
“The truth is… I‘m jealous.
“I‘m green with envy. I‘m jealous at the thought Shawn loves you and that he has had the pleasure of
knowing you for more than a decade.”
Zachary had not known Serenity for long.
His relationship with her could not beat her decade–long relationship with Shawn.

Shawn got to know her and fell in love with her sooner than Zachary could.
Zachary fell far behind Shawn in every single way.
“Shawn and L. I told you before that he‘s a younger brother to me. I don‘t like him that way. We
wouldn‘t have gotten married if I had romantic feelings for him. I would‘ve gone for Shawn to give my
sister peace of mind.”
Despite knowing that Serenity was telling the truth, Zachary could not get over his bitterness.
Basically, Serenity was saying that Zachary stood no chance if she was into Shawn.
Zachary could buzz off to wherever he came from.
“Are you still jealous?”
Lifting her chin, Serenity stared at his grimacing face. Amused, she pinched his face. “Has any talent
scout cast you to be an actor? You make the perfect grinch without makeup.”
Zachary took her by the hand and replied gruffly, “I am.”
“Didn‘t you say you don‘t know what jealousy was? I had to give you a dictionary for that.”
Zachary was at a loss for words.
Since he had nothing, he might as well lower his head and seal those luscious lips.
It did not slip Serenity‘s mind that they were in front of his office building. Although it was working
hours, there were still people coming in and out of the place.
She let him give her a quick peck before pushing him away.
Serenity uttered softly, “Trust me, Zachary. I won‘t do anything to betray you while we‘re still lawfully
married.”
“I trust you.”
Zachary did not take his hands away from her as they walked to her car. He pulled open the door. “Get
inside. It‘s chilly outside.”
It was snowy in Meadspring while the temperature had only begun to drop in Wiltspoon.
After Serenity was stuffed into the backseat, Zachary followed suit.
With the door closed, Zachary pinned her down to the seat and towered over her to lock
tongues.
It took several kisses to diminish most of Zachary‘s jealousy.
“Don‘t meet with Shawn ever again,” Zachary demanded.
“I know you don‘t love him, but it doesn‘t change the fact that he‘s in love with you. God knows what
he‘ll do to you since he can‘t have you.” “I‘ll beat him up if he gets handsy.”

Chapter 500

“Although you can kickbox, you should stay away from him. Your husband is petty–minded and can’t
stand to see you together with him. I‘ll get jealous even though he‘s the one all over
you.”
Zachary was feeling jealous in the past but he never admitted to it back then.
It would not matter to Zachary who Serenity was with if he did not care.
Now that he had feelings for Serenity, Zachary lost his head and was out for blood.
“I‘ll chase him away if he comes along, but I can‘t cut off his legs to stop him from coming.”
Zachary put on a stern look and said, “I‘ll make sure he doesn‘t show his face.”
“What are you planning to do? Don‘t do anything stupid.”
Zachary pinched her cheek. “Don‘t worry. I won‘t do anything stupid now that I have you.”
He wanted to spend the rest of his days with her.
Zachary had made plans to end partnerships with the Lowes and even steal from them some projects
that were in talks. The Lowes would know the Yorks were putting the heat on them. Zachary would be
waiting for Mr. Lowe to come and ask him the reason for doing so.
Serenity could not stop Shawn, but who was to say his parents could not stop him?
“Don‘t go too hard on him for Jasmine‘s sake.”
With Jasmine‘s name coming into the picture, Zachary subtly asked, “Why didn‘t Ms. Sox stop Shawn?”
Was Jasmine on her cousin‘s side regarding this?
“Jas has a fever. She‘s at the hospital. She wasn‘t at the shop.”
The realization then hit Serenity. She said amusedly, “Don‘t tell me you were suspecting Jas for helping
Shawn to pester me? She‘s not that type of a person. She hopes Shawn could move on more than
anyone else.”
As her best friend, Jasmine had the best understanding of the person Serenity was.
Jasmine knew that Serenity did not love Shawn romantically, and that would not change no matter what
Shawn did.
Shawn‘s fixation on Serenity would only get him hurt.
Jasmine was Shawn’s cousin. Feeling sorry for her cousin, Jasmine could only persuade Shawn to get
over his feelings.
Shawn could only get his life back when he let go of his obsession with Serenity.
That was why anyone but Jasmine would take Shawn’s side.

“Uh… I was wrong about Ms. Sox.
“So she‘s not well.”
Zachary must inform Josh later so the latter could have an excuse to contact Jasmine.
“Yeah. She has a high fever. It could be the sudden change of weather. She picked fashion over comfort
and caught a cold in return.”
Serenity had always seen her best friend in a dress during winter. Although the dresses were made of
warmer materials, Serenity believed winter clothes were more appropriate for the season. Serenity
often teased her best friend for choosing style over comfort.
The girls had different preferences when it came to winter clothing. Serenity wished she could wear a
duvet out when the weather was chilly.
“Give me your phone, Zachary.”
“What‘s the matter?”
Serenity put her hand out, demanding his phone.
“I want to see if I‘m still on your contact list. Did you delete my number? With that history of yours, I
need to check your phone. You can forget re–adding my number if you wipe out my contact again.”
She had a temper too.
Zachary compliantly handed out his phone. He unlocked the phone and tapped on the message icon for
her convenience to examine. “It‘s easy to delete a number but difficult to add it back. It was a hard
lesson to learn. I won‘t make the same mistake again.”
While adding back her number the last time, Serenity mentioned that they would be through if they
deleted each other‘s numbers again.
With her number still on his contact list, Serenity‘s mind was put at ease.
Nevertheless, it upset her that he did not respond to a single message despite her blowing up his phone
with multiple text messages.
Shoving his phone back into his hand, she opened the door and uttered, “Alright now. I‘ve cleared the
air, so get down. You should get back to work. I need to return to the shop. Elisa brought her mother
there. I told her to watch the shop for me.” Zachary stared at her and asked, “Are you agry, Seren?”
