Back at the hilltop villa, Zack wanted to carry Serena out of the car.
“I’ll get out by myself. I don’t need you to carry me. Don’t touch me!”
Serena 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 Serena and instinctively called out, “Mrs. York.”
Serena 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 Zack, “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 villa, she thought that he really was just a salaryman.
She remembered him asking if she would believe it if he said he was the richest man in Wiltspoon.
She would not believe him.
That was because she felt that the York family was wealthy beyond her reach while she was just an ordinary woman. How could the great Mr. York marry her?
When they first got married, Jasmine even teased her before, but she said that billionaires could not be picked off the street. There was no way her husband would turn out to be the richest man in Wiltspoon.
She told Jasmine that the latter had read too many novels and was daydreaming.
Now, she was eating her own words.
Zack pursed his lips and looked at her silently.
It was true he lied to her and he could not refute that.
After Serena stared at him coldly for a moment, she went past Brandt and entered the villa of her own volition.
“Sir, is the missus livid after she’s found out?”
Brandt added in concern, “Shall I call Old Mrs. York over?”
Old Mrs. York was the closest to the missus.
Zack was silent for a moment before saying, “It’ll only add fuel to the fire if Nanal comes now. It was Nana who brought us together, and it was she who concealed my identity and lied to Seren first. If Seren sees Nana, she’ll get even angrier instead of calming down.”
Serena felt that the whole family were liars. They all cheated and lied to her!
“Nana won’t come now either. She probably slipped away faster than anyone else.”
Grandma May was most active when she forced him to marry Serena. When he was unwilling to marry a stranger, she called him unfilial.
After being nagged and accused of being unfilial several times by his nana, Zack reluctantly agreed to her arrangement to spare his ears.
Grandma May lied without thinking about the consequences.
Now, Zack had to face the consequences alone.
“Don’t go inside without my word.”
Zack ordered in a low voice before entering the house.
Brandt walked up to Jim and the others. He asked with concern, “Will Mr. Zack and the missus be all right?”
Jim put away his silly expression and looked solemn.
“The missus is very angry, but no matter how she treats Mr. Zack, he must face it. There’s no way we can help. All we can do is pray for him.”
Hopefully, Serena would not mention divorce.
Otherwise, Zack would go crazy.
Serena sat on the sofa.
She felt hungry.
She just remembered that she had not eaten yet.
She should have lost her appetite because of her anger. Why was she hungry instead?
Since hunger came knocking, she went looking for food. She would never starve herself because of Zack. He was not worth it!
Serena stood up and went into the kitchen.
When Zack came in from outside, he happened to see her figure in the kitchen
He was silent.
Serena did not cook a lot. She only made herself a simple plate of spaghetti, then came out with the plate in her hands.
When she saw Zack, she merely glanced at him before ignoring his presence and went to the table. She sat down and started eating.
Zack was worried she would refuse to eat or drink because she was angry.
When he saw how healthy her appetite was, and how she could eat such a large plate of spaghetti with relish, he felt conflicted.
He sat down at the dining table and opened his mouth. “Seren…”
“Shut up! Don’t affect my appetite.”
Zack obediently shut his trap after being yelled at by his wife.
He was at fault, so he lowered his ego and pride.
As he watched her eat, he felt hungry too.
However, he did not dare to leave. He was afraid she would take the opportunity to slip away if he did.
He could only endure his hunger and silently watched her eat the spaghetti. After she finished the meal, she stood up with the plate and was just about to leave.
“I’ll do it, Seren. I’ll wash the dishes for you.”
Zack scrambled over to help her clean the dishes.
Serena did not refuse either. If he wanted to work, then he could work. She put the plate back down on the table and left.
After making sure she was just sitting on the sofa and not going outside, Zack went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.
He washed them as fast as he could along with some fruits, then cut them into pieces and placed them in a fruit bowl.
“Honey.”
“Don’t call me Honey!”
“Seren.”
Zack quickly changed his form of address.
His wife was angry, so whatever she said was final.
“Have some fruits.”
Zack brought the fruit bowl to Serena.
“I’m full from all this fury. I can’t eat your fruits.”
Zack’s hand holding the bowl froze, and he retracted his hand to place the bowl on the coffee table.
She had just eaten a large plate of spaghetti, so she was naturally full.
