Serena was stunned. “He hung up on me. Can he get even angrier?”
She threw the phone on the table, feeling a little mad herself, and muttered, “I’ve made it clear to him. Why is he still angry? Fine, he can be angry if he wants to. I don’t care.”
Did he want her to tell him about every single thing?
Serena grumbled, “I told him at the beginning that I’ll handle the stuff that I can handle by myself instead of bothering him. What about him? Does he tell me everything as well? Can he guarantee that there’s nothing that he’s hiding from me?
“His double standards are ridiculous!”
He was so domineering.
His overbearing trait sometimes made her feel as sweet as honey, but other times, it gave her a feeling of being so tightly restrained by him that it was difficult for her to even catch her breath.
There was just a sense of suffocation.
Her sleepiness completely vanished because of the call from Zack.
She picked up the phone again and sent a message to him.
However, he did not reply to her.
“Again! There he goes again! ”
Serena threw the phone back to the foot of the bed.
What a petty man.
Every time their communication fell through, he would act like this. He stopped replying to messages she sent.
‘If he doesn’t want to reply, then fine!
‘1 don’t care!’
Serena picked up the phone and placed it on the nightstand. She lay down and got ready to be taken away by the sandman.
However, she was still vexed. She tossed and turned with slumberland far from reach.
A few minutes later, Serena sat up from the bed and pondered. She then slid out of bed, began to pack her household goods, and took them back to her room.
She would not sleep in his bed anymore.
She angrily moved back to her room to sleep.
Zack was likewise still sulking.
He received the message from Serena and read it, but he did not reply. Instead, he deleted it instantly.
He only had one thought in his mind, and that was how Serena accused him of being. narrow-minded and did not treat him as a family.
Putting the phone on the desk, Zack got up and paced back and forth in the office, incredibly annoyed.
In the end, he went and made himself a cup of coffee.
After drinking the coffee, he forced himself to calm down and got back to work.
He intended to work through the night.
Serena was so angry that she tossed and turned, failing to fall asleep, but after an hour or ‘so, she stopped being angry. It was not the first time he acted like this. If she got mad at him every time, her life span would probably shorten. It was not worth it.
Thus, she stopped being angry and went away with the sandman.
‘He can be mad if he wants to!
‘That petty man is so self-centered. He doesn’t tell me everything about himself, but he wants me to tell him everything that happens in my life.
‘He’s not even at home. What, is he going to fly back if I tell him?”
In fact, Serena did not do anything regarding that matter either. Her aunt’s introduction already scared away the Brown family’s mother and daughter. The person who made the decision was Liberty.
Liberty chose to reconcile because of Sonny.
It was her sister’s decision, so Serena respected it.
That man even laser-pointed on how Duncan knew about it but he was kept in the dark instead.
Duncan was Liberty’s boss. Was it not normal for him to know about something that happened in front of his company?
It was not like she deliberately told Duncan about it.
Serena felt that Zack was being ridiculous in his jealousy.
It was rather late into the night when she fell asleep. Zack, who was away on a business trip, drank a total of two cups of coffee which lasted him until dawn.
The next day, he continued to work.
In Josh’s words, every time Zack got angry, he threw himself into his work. His work efficiency was particularly high, so the people following him could not keep up and had to work overtime. It was fine if it was one or two days but when they worked overtime till late every day, everyone in the company started to complain.
Serena got up late because she slept late.
Mrs. Lane had done most of the morning routine from making breakfast and feeding the pets to watering the plants and hanging out on the swing chair before Serena got up.
“Good morning, Ms. Hunt.”
Serena yawned. Maybe due to the poor sleep quality, she was having a headache and sore eyes. She was still having these ailments despite having slept enough hours, so she guessed it must have been because she was furious when she fell asleep.
“Good morning, Mrs. Lane.”
Serena did not tell Mrs. Lane about herself not feeling well.
Looking at the time, she cried in a low voice, “It’s eight o’clock!”
She did not know if her sister was going to work. She had to go over to pick Sonny up.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Hunt. Take your time with breakfast. Your sister just called me and said. that she sent Sonny to the store. Ms. Sox is already there. She told us to head directly to the store later. There’s no need to drop by her new place.”
Serena sighed in relief and sat down at the dining table.
Mrs. Lane prepared sandwiches for her today with all kinds of fillings, as well as a pot of black coffee.
Black coffee…
Serena took out her phone and photographed the pot of coffee, then sent it to the petty
man.
Unsurprisingly, Zack did not reply to her.
Serena grumbled.
“Are the sandwiches not good, Ms. Hunt?”
Mrs. Lane heard Serena grumble and thought the sandwiches she made were lousy. She asked, “What kind of sandwiches do you fancy? Tell me and I’ll make them for you tomorrow.”
“I’m not a picky eater, Mrs. Lane. I like all kinds of sandwiches.
“You sit down too. Let’s talk while we eat.”
With Zack not at home, Mrs. Lane was a lot more comfortable.
Although Zack acted gentle in front of Serena, he was a prestigious person. Mrs. Lane did not feel at ease dining at the same table as him.
“Mrs. Lane, you’ve been a nanny for Zack’s ninth cousin for a few years and have known Zack for several years, right? Do you think he’s overbearing and self-centered? He demands that other people don’t hide anything from him.”
Mrs. Lane was taking a sip of oatmeal. After listening to Serena, she looked up and asked with concern, “Ms. Hunt, why are you asking that?”
Serena sipped the coffee and said, “I think I quarreled with Zack last night. It seems we’re in a cold war again.”
Mrs. Lane was speechless.
It had just been one night, but here they were having another squabble, and a cold war at that.
“Why did you quarrel with Mr. York?”
Recently, Zack and Serena were obviously getting along very well. The couple slept in the same room, and Grandma May saw the couple’s feelings heating up and seemed to have stabilized, so she packed up her luggage and moved back to the old residence.
It was also to avoid the Stone family.
“It was just before going to bed. I sent him a message, he called, and we chatted for a while. I was sleepy and he was still busy, so I quickly ended the call because I didn’t want to disturb him. I didn’t tell him about my sister’s fight with her ex-in-laws.
“Maybe Mr. Lewis called him and mentioned that incident, so he quickly called me to question me, asking why I didn’t tell him about that incident. He even said that I don’t treat him like family.”
