Zack was speechless.
“Is Seren not willing to talk to me?”
“She reacted ferociously and wanted to leave me. I apologized and pulled her back, but she punched and kicked me. She even bit me, so I knocked her out.”
“You’re just adding fuel to the fire. Seren will only be angrier when she wakes up later. Why don’t you just turn into a sloth and cling onto her?”
Zack was rendered speechless again.
Even if he could turn into a sloth, would he be able to force her to stay using that method?
Of course, he knew he was making the situation worse and Serena’s temper would only be fouler when she woke up. However, that was the only thing he could do to make her stay.
Either way, he would not let her leave his side or his territory!
“Zack, with Seren’s fury right now, you should give her time to calm down, then apologize to her and communicate with her. That’s the best method.”
Zack suddenly growled, “She wants to leave me, Nana! She said she wants to consider whether our marriage should continue or not. She wants a divorce!”
Grandma May’s heart seized.
Zack was afraid of losing Serena to the point of breaking down.
“Don’t panic, Zack. I’ll go over there right now. Where are you?”
Grandma May calmed Zack’s emotions.
The old woman undeniably played a part in how the couple ended up now.
Zack’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!”
Zack’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 Serena.
After being hung up on by his nana, Zack called Jim and ordered, “Send all the Valentine’s Day gifts I prepared for Seren to my room and buy some roses to decorate the yard.”
Ever since Zack’s interview that was quickly broadcasted on the internet, the group of bodyguards had been on tenterhooks, worried that Serena would be furious when she found out.
They saw with their own eyes how ruthless she was to Zack in her anger.
Everyone was worried about the sweet couple. They did not know how far the fighting would go.
When they received Zack’s command, Jim thought that he had successfully coaxed Serena. His tense mood relaxed, and he replied in a cheerful tone, “Okay. I’ll send the gifts you prepared right away.”
Zack said in a heavy voice, “Be quick.”
Serena would wake up soon.
Thus, the bodyguards sent Zack’s gifts for Serena to the villa as soon as possible. They brought the gifts upstairs and knocked on Zack’s door.
When they saw the missus lying motionless on the bed, Jim was shocked and blurted out, “Mr. Zack, what happened to the missus?”
Zack’s face was tense. He pursed his lips into a thin line and stared intently at Serena without saying a word.
Only then did the bodyguards realize that they were too naive.
The missus had not forgiven Mr. Zack at all. Looking at the current circumstance, it was either she fainted from anger, or Mr. Zack was forced to knock her unconscious.
The bodyguards figured that with Mr. Zack’s style, the latter was more probable.
Alas!
They sighed in their hearts.
Mr. Zack was too foolish. How could he have knocked her out?
He was just adding fuel to the fire!
Zack had always been composed. Serena was the only one who could cause him to lose his cool and make a mistake.
The bodyguards put down the presents and quickly withdrew.
Just two minutes after they went out, Serena woke up.
She only felt pain in the lower back of her neck.
When she opened her eyes to see Zack’s deadpan face, the events from before she lost consciousness flooded into her brain like a tsunami, quickly brewing a storm in her mind again.
“Seren.”
Zack saw her merely looking at him without speaking and called out anxiously,” Are you okay?”
Did he use too much force?
Did he damage her?
“Zack York!”
Serena snapped back to her senses and yelled his name through gnashed teeth She sat up and pounced on him like a ferocious lion, grabbing his collar with one hand and chopping the back of his neck with the other.
She screamed furiously, “You jerk! You b*stard! How could you have knocked me out?!”
Her neck hurt like hell!
This b*stard said that he loved her. Was knocking her out and giving her physical pain his way of showing that?
Screw him! She would not believe a single word he said. She lived in the lies he weaved for the past four months. Her trust in him had dropped to the negatives!
“Seren, Seren.”
Zack did not let Serena chop his neck for fear that she would really knock him. out and run away.
When she vented some of her anger, he forcefully took her into his arms like before and hugged her tightly, gently immobilizing her.
“Seren, I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t have knocked you out, but I didn’t know how to make you stay. Don’t leave me, okay? I promise you–I’ll never lie to you again! Don’t leave me, Seren!”
Zack did not dare imagine the rest of his life without Serena.
“Let go of me! I won’t believe a single word that comes out of your mouth. Your promises are worth sh*t! You’ve promised me so many things, yet you were lying to me every time! I told you that we would break up if you kept lying to me!
“I don’t want to live in one lie after another. I don’t know which one is the real you. I don’t know which words you say are true. Zack, you’d better let me go, or I’ll never forgive you!
“You even knocked me out. You knocked me out… My neck hurts like hell now. You jerk, all you know is to cause me pain. If I’d known you were the heir of the York family, I’d rather have gone to Shawn to lie to my sister than marry you!”
At the mention of his love rival that had just been taken out by the said rival’s parents, Zack was both afraid and bitter.
He feared Serena would go to Shawn in a fit of rage after finding out that he lied to her.
It had been some time since Shawn was sent to the company’s branch in Havenmill by his parents. He had not called Serena since, but Zack knew the guy had not given up on her.
If Serena called him, he would be able to leave everything behind and fly back immediately…
“Don’t you dare try to look for Shawn! I–I’ll break your… I’ll lock you in this house so you can’t leave. I’ll confiscate all your communication devices!”
Zack let out a low growl, making Serena look straight at him.
After his roar, he panicked again.
He should not have said that.
It was just like at the beginning of their marriage. Sometimes, he meant well, but his mouth was brusque, and what he said actually hurt people’s feelings.
He was sharp and decisive when dealing with business, but when it came to emotional problems, he was even worse than a teenager.
“That’s all you know how to do. All you do is threaten me and boss me around. This is the real you, isn’t it? You’re the eldest grandson of the York family, born with a golden spoon in your mouth. No matter if you’re at home or outside, everything revolves around you.
“Your brothers defer to you and obey your arrangement no matter what you say or do. You’re the center of the world. In the company, you’re the head so everything you say is law.”
“This is your true personality. You’re always self–centered and lord over everything You’re overbearing, arrogant, egotistical, and even paranoid!”
Serena’s words were full of mockery.
