The strange marriage - Chapter 875

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 making peace with them. It’s not like we can
bury the hatchet and move on.”
“Is he not your grandfather? I doubt your dad is his son. No grandfather would do such a thing to their
granddaughter.“.
Serenity fell silent before saying, “When my parents were still around, my mom often commented how
my dad took after the old man the most. There’s no denying they’re father and son.
“My dad wasn’t the oldest, but he wasn’t the youngest either. I guess the middle child doesn’t get much
attention.”
Digging into her childhood memory, Serenity remembered that her grandparents were not kind to her
parents at all. Her grandparents mooched off her family and expected her parents to take care of them
for every little thing. Serenity’s parents did not get so much as a thank–you for doing the legwork and
forking out money.

Serenity’s aunts would offer a small plate of leftover turkey to Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt when it was
Thanksgiving, and the old folks would not stop boasting about it all year. Apparently, their sons were
devoted enough to remember them during Thanksgiving.
It seemed to slip the old folks‘ minds that Serenity’s family would give the best part of the turkey to
them, and this did not just happen during Thanksgiving!
Yet, all Serenity’s family got in return was criticism!
“Why is he playing favorites when all of them are his children?” Jasmine moaned.” That will never
happen in my family.”
Serenity took a moment of silence before commenting, “I guess some people can’t love their children all
the same.”
Jasmine looked at her best friend sympathetically.
She believed her best friend would have her happy–ever–after if she could resolve her differences with
Zachary–kiss and make up.
It never occurred to anyone that Serenity’s money–hungry relatives would latch onto the sisters like a
leech. They stayed on the down–low for a while but came back stronger and more unscrupulous than
ever.
Zachary reached out and put his arm over Serenity’s shoulder to offer her solace.
The girl pushed his arm away and faintly uttered, “Stay out of it next time, Mr. York. You’re the heir of
the York family. It can only damage your name if someone catches you in the act and posts your video
on the web.”
Looking deeply into her eyes, Zachary replied, “What’s the point of having a good reputation without
you in my life?
“Don’t be scared or feel threatened by them, Seren. I’ll call the cops on them if they bring it to my
workplace. They can’t enter the office or our home. Their intimidation tactics are nothing to me.
“There’s always a black sheep in the family, even in the wealthiest family.”
No family, regardless of social class, was saved from a few bad apples.
Serenity glanced at him before turning to return to the shop.
Jasmine gave Zachary a look and went into the shop too.
Zachary wondered if he said anything wrong.
Why did they look at him and leave for the shop without a word?
Zachary stood there, frozen.
The bodyguards were anxious for their boss as the latter was thrown into a daze.
Mr. Zachary could put on a bold face and cling onto the missus like glue. Why was he standing there?

There was a bouquet of roses waiting to be delivered.
The bouquet was still in the car!
On the way over, Zachary told Jim that he would stick around the shop to be with Serenity even if
Serenity chased him out with a broom.

Chapter 876

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. He told
his security detail, “Go on home. Your presence will remind Seren that I lied to her.”
His bodyguards were the symbol of his status as Mr. York in Wiltspoon.
The security team was lost for words.
Without a care about his security detail’s feelings, Zachary clutched onto the roses and entered the
shop.
Sitting behind the cash register, Serenity was busy crafting.
Jasmine sat opposite Serenity, cupping her face with her hands while quietly observing her best friend.
With Zachary here, Jasmine rose to her feet to give Zachary her seat.
Serenity lifted her gaze to meet her eyes.
Jasmine sat back down, not moving over for anyone.

Uh, she nearly betrayed Serenity.
“Seren, these flowers are for you.”
Zachary put his hands out to offer the bouquet.
“Thanks, but no thanks. Please take the flowers away. You’re blocking my view.”
Serenity’s tone was flat as she met Zachary’s eyes. “Mr. York, I told you–l need some time alone.”
Zachary looked at her in silence, still holding the flowers up.
Tension ran high between the couple.
Jasmine quietly scooted over together with the chair.
“Serenity, Jasmine, I’m back. I bought you a lot of presents. Come out and help me carry them in.”
While the couple was at a standstill, Elisa’s voice echoed into the shop before her physical arrival.
Color drained from Jasmine’s face.
Elisa mentioned that she would be back today.
She came straight to the shop upon her return from her holidays.
Serenity looked as though she had seen a ghost.
Feeling bad, Zachary locked his grip on Serenity’s hand.
“Serenity, Jasmine, look what I got you… Zachary!”
Elisa excitedly barged into the place with her hands full of shopping bags. She bought whatever tickled
her fancy during her travels as gifts for her best friends. Seeing that Zachary was here, Elisa had the
shock of her life.
