Chapter 459 – The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel Free Online

Could she not live to the age of hundred and he to hundred and five then?

That way, they would both be centenarians.

On second thought, she would be content if she could live to ninety–five years old.

She was not greedy. It would be remarkable if a person could even live to eighty.

“Zack, how many admirers do you have?”

“I don’t know.”

“A countless number?”

“Only one has confessed to me before. Naturally, I rejected her. I really don’t know if there are any others. If they don’t say anything, how would I know?”

What Zack said was the truth.

He really had no clue as to how many admirers he had.

Many people claimed he had countless admirers, but the only person who had confessed to him was Elisa Stone alone.

Maybe the others did not have the courage to do so.

“Is that admirer of yours still bugging you? I’ve never heard you mention it before.”

As the couple exited the elevator, Zack naturally put his arm around her shoulders and said, “You’ve never asked. When it comes to this kind of thing, I won’t say a word if you don’t ask me lest you get jealous.”

“I wouldn’t get jealous. I’m not like you. You’re so narrow–minded and you’re always randomly getting jealous for no reason at all. Back then you even stubbornly said you’ve never been jealous and that you didn’t know what it felt like. Haha! You’ve got to eat your words now, huh? It looks to me like you’re full every day from the words you’ve eaten and that’s your own fault.”

Zack leaned his head down and lightly bit at her cheek, with his gaze tender. He admitted, “I was stubborn. I fell for you long ago but wouldn’t admit it, and I was so jealous but I wouldn’t admit that either. Because of you, I’ve done so many things I’ve never done before, and I’ve done so many things that backfired on myself.

“I think I’m almost about to be burnt to a crisp from all that.”

Serena thought of how awkward he was at the time and felt it was pretty funny.

Their relationship was considered the love–after–marriage sort and their feelings for each other were nurtured bit by bit. They had argued, given each other the silent treatment, and misunderstood each other. Luckily, they safely survived their relationship crises after communicating with each other and their marriage had not ended.

“Then, who’s that admirer who confessed to you before?” Serena asked, beaming with curiosity.

Zack said without inflection, “I don’t remember anymore. She hasn’t shown up before me as of late.”

“You don’t remember?”

“Do I have to? I don’t like her, so what’s the point of remembering? If I did remember and you got jealous, what should I do then? You’re the person I’m going to spend the rest of my life with, so I only need to remember you. To me, all other women are just passersby. I probably couldn’t even remember what they looked like even if they stood in front of me.”

Zack was very much indifferent to women and was naturally unappreciative.

In this life, he would not fall for another woman except Serena.

Serena laughed, saying, “I won’t get mad and I won’t get jealous either. You don’t have to be so defensive.”

“I’m really not being defensive. I’m telling the truth. Other than my relatives, you’re the only one I care about. I don’t care about anyone else.”

“Then we’re even. Shawn Lowe may admire me but you have an admirer too.”

Zack wanted to say that Shawn Lowe was much inferior to Elisa Stone who had the resolution to give up when she said she would, but he swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue.

It was probably because Shawn Lowe was young, so he took love seriously.

To add to that, he had had a crush on Serena for many years and could not give up so easily in such a short amount of time.

The couple meandered along the streets as they held hands. As Serena had said, the streets were not as bustling and crowded as they used to be. No matter if it was the number of people or cars, it was indeed much fewer.

They were not the only ones on the streets–as others had also come out for a walk after dinner with the current quietness in mind.

The husband and wife talked as they walked, discussing anything at all, although most of the time, Serena was the one speaking as Zack listened.

After strolling for more than an hour, they returned home.

Zack took advantage of the time Serena was in the shower to sneak out to the

balcony and call Josh. When Josh picked up, he said in a low voice, “Josh, help me contact Mr. Lowe and get him to wait for me at the Wiltspoon Hotel. I’ll go over later to have a chat with him.”

“Didn’t you say you were only going to meet him after New Year’s?” Josh asked.

Without waiting for Zack’s reply, he further asked, “Did Shawn Lowe bother your wifey again?”

“He still hasn’t given up. He called Seren again tonight. She didn’t talk to him and hung up immediately, but people can get pretty recalcitrant sometimes -the more you want to ignore me, the more I want to bother you.”

Josh sighed. “How foolish can Shawn Lowe be to try and take your woman? Fine, I’ll help you contact Mr. Lowe and tell him to wait at Wiltspoon Hotel for you.”

“What time are you going over? I have to give Mr. Lowe a definite time.”

Zack said, “I’ll go over when Seren falls asleep.”

“What if she doesn’t fall asleep?”

“I have my ways of making her fall asleep quickly.”

Josh immediately understood and smiled knowingly, teasing, “I used to think you didn’t understand things like that and even wondered if I should bring you out to broaden your horizons, get some practice in, and accumulate some experience.”

“Get lost!” Zack said angrily.

Did Josh think he was an idiot?

He had not been interested, but that did not mean he was not capable.

Josh did not get mad even after being cursed at and even giggled on the other end of the line. Zack hung up immediately, not wanting to pay him any more attention.

Serena was used to sleeping late and it was only a little after nine at night at the moment. Even if she tried to sleep, she would toss and turn in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Zack said, “Seren, are you trying to make a stir fry?”

“It’s too early. I can’t sleep.”

Serena sat up and picked her phone up. “I’ll watch a movie.”

Zack took her phone away. Then, he went to his study, picked a book at random, and shoved it into her hands. “Why don’t you read something? It’s easy to fall asleep this way.”

Holding the book he had shoved at her, Serena looked at the title of the book and blinked. She was not seeing things wrongly, was she? This book was…

She flipped it open to the first page.

Zack placed her phone on the bedside dresser and turned back around to her. He was taken aback when he glimpsed the contents of the book and instinctively snatched the book away. With slight embarrassment on his handsome face, he said, ” I-I grabbed the wrong thing. Wait for a second–I’ll grab a magazine for you,” he said as he left hastily, book in his hands.

Serena came out of her stupor and laughed, “Zack, so this is the sort of person you are.”

Zack blushed all the way to the tips of his ears.

That book had been given to him by Josh many years ago. He had never flipped through it but had never thrown it away either and was left in his study.

Only when he developed feelings for Serena that he had gone to read it in secret.

Of course, he never dared let Serena find out.

A few minutes later, he returned to the bedroom, empty–handed.

Serena deliberately asked, smiling, “Where’s the magazine you said you were going to grab for me?”

Zack just looked at her with a burning gaze.

Familiar with that predatory gaze of his, Serena stopped smiling and hurriedly tucked the blanket higher. She rolled over so her back was facing him and said, “I’m going to sleep. I’m asleep now! Don’t talk to me anymore. If I respond, I’m sleep talking.”

Zack was at a loss for words.

He sat down by the bed and sensing Serena’s nervousness, he hugged her from the back and said softly into her ear, “Sleep well. I said I wouldn’t touch you anymore tonight, so I won’t. I’ll let you have a good rest.”

Serena relaxed with his guarantee. She turned over and faced him. Meeting his still- burning gaze, Serena could not resist pinching his face and said, “You’re up to something. If you’re not willing to tell me, I won’t ask. When the time comes for when you’re ready to tell me about it, I’ll be all ears then.”

“I’m not.”

Zack vehemently refused to admit it.

“I just want you to sleep earlier and rest well. Tomorrow, we’ll be heading out early. It’s quite some distance away and you won’t be able to rest once we get there, so I’m worried you’ll get tired.”

Serena did not believe him, but she did not ask further since he was not willing to tell her about it.

After talking to him for a while, she soon started to feel sleepy and swiftly left to be in the arms of Morpheus.

Once she had fallen asleep, only then did Zack gingerly get up and stealthily take his leave.

Serena was in slumberland but she slept fitfully. She dreamt that she had a wedding with Zack and at the wedding, she wore a white wedding dress while he wore a black suit. She was charmingly beautiful and he was dashingly domineering. All the guests were saying they made a handsome couple and were a match made in heaven.

Just as she felt she was the happiest woman in the world, she suddenly saw her newly found cousin, Elisa. Elisa walked over, only to raise her hand and slap Zack across the face.

Everyone was stunned.

Even if it was just a dream, Serena instinctively stood protectively in front of

Zack and asked why Elisa just slapped Zack.

“Seren, this man is a big liar. He’s been lying to you since the beginning. He’s a liar through and through! Don’t marry him.”

Serena was dumbfounded.

Zack was a liar!

“Seren, don’t marry him! Hurry up and leave him and never forgive him! He’s a big fat liar who has never been true to you! He’s been lying this whole time!”

Elisa yelled furiously at Zack as she pointed at him in Serena’s dream.

She told Serena to leave Zack and not to marry him nor forgive him because Zack was a liar to the core.
