Jasmine said, “This isn’t your fault. You didn’t know his identity either. Elisa had always called him Mr. York, but she had never mentioned ‘Zack’ York. Who knew the Mr. York she was infatuated with would be the same one you married?”
She sighed. “When Elisa returns and finds out everything… I can’t imagine her reaction. Seren, luckily you and Elisa are now cousins. With this relationship, it might be a little better.”
What Serena wanted to say was that it was possible for biological brothers to fall out with each other, much less cousins.
However, Jasmine believed Elisa would not fall out with Serena because of this issue. After all, Serena was the one being deceived.
“Right now, I am in no mood to consider that. What I’m thinking is when I can leave this place.”
Jasmine greatly sympathized with her best friend.
Jasmine would not agree with Zack’s manner of dealing with his relationship crisis. Even Josh felt that it was incorrect.
Nevertheless, Zack would not listen to anyone’s advice. He strongly believed that Serena would always be his wife and stay with him as long as he kept her by his side.
He had the audacity to lie to Serena for such a long time, yet he was too timid to bear the consequences after telling the truth.
At that moment, Jasmine’s image of the man who was said to be most excellent in Wiltspoon had been ruined.
It turned out that everyone had their shortcomings no matter how excellent they were.
Knock, knock.
“Seren, you don’t have any changing clothes in your room, so I’ve sent them over. Can you open the door and take them? Alternatively, you can open the door and let me bring the clothes to you.”
Zack’s flattering voice resounded from outside.
Serena said to her best friend, “Jas, we’ll talk again soon. That liar keeps knocking on the door. I’m going to take a look.”
“Alright.”
After Serena ended the call, she rose to her feet from the couch with an icy expression. Then, she walked toward the door and opened it.
“Honey.”
Once the door was opened, Serena looked at Zack’s handsome face. He instantly wore a flattering smile.
However, on other typical days, he would pull a long face, showing a stern expression. He would hardly smile. At that moment, Serena felt that the smile was fake.
“Honey, I’ve brought over your changing clothes.”
Zack handed her two sets of clothes. One set was pajamas, whereas the other was her outfit for tomorrow.
“Let me bring them inside for you, okay?”
Serena forbade him to enter the room. After taking her clothes, she retreated and slammed the door shut. Then, she locked the door from the inside once again.
Zack was speechless.
He did not walk away and stood at the door instead. At the same time, he was wondering when Seren would open the door and look for him.
Sure enough, he heard the sound of the door being unlocked in two minutes. He immediately straightened his body and wore a smile on his handsome face.
The moment Serena pulled open the door, he grinned and said gently, “Honey, what else do you need? Just let me know. I’ll be serving you tonight.”
“I need two more shirts and other daily necessities. Bring them to me.”
Zack quickly answered, “Alright. Wait a moment. I’ll get them for you right away.”
After that, he turned around and scurried away.
After some time, he came back to Serena and handed a bag of daily necessities to her. “Honey, take a look and let me know what else you need. Just tell me and I’ll get it for you right away.”
Serena casually checked the bag and realized that all the daily necessities were inside. Once again, she retreated and was ready to close the door.
“Honey.”
Zack stepped astride the room and blocked the door with his body so that apter 840
Serena would not close it. He rubbed his hands and said shamefacedly, “Honey, although the New Year has passed and it’s spring now, a cold front is moving in from the south. The air temperature has decreased, and it’s particularly cold. There’s no heater in the guest room. If you sleep alone, you’re sure to feel cold,
“I have another great function, which is to offer you warmth. I promise I won’t take advantage of you. I’m just here to warm you.”
Serena was exasperated.
That man could not be more shameless.
“Honey, let me go inside and be your warmer. Look, the room is big. Even if you close the windows, you’ll feel cold. This is when I can serve as a warmer.”
“No need!”
Serena ordered, “Withdraw your leg, or I’ll close the door and you’ll end up with a crushed leg. I can then look down on you openly!”
“Honey.”
“Stop calling me Honey. Who’s your Honey? I’m merely a materialistic girl who eyes your wealth and status. I wouldn’t have married you if you were poor and ugly.”
Heartbroken, Zack said, “Seren, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have hidden the truth from you for such a long time. Don’t criticize yourself that way. You’re the best woman in the world. You’re unique to me…”
“You liar, doesn’t your face hurt or get swollen? You’ve always been lying and getting a slap in the face. Who would trust you? Let me tell you that I’m not going to trust anything you say from now on!”
Zack’s handsome face turned grim. “Serena, I’m not lying at all. Some of my words are sincere. I love you, and this is definitely true.”
“Yes. You love me. You love lying to me, right? Are you going to get out? If you’re not, I’ll crush your leg!”
After speaking frostily, Serena forcefully shut the door.
Zack dared not feign pity and obediently withdrew his leg. Then, he watched Serena shut the door and lock it.
Only after some time did Zack return to his room. After taking a bath, he moved a single–seater couch and placed it outside Serena’s room. Then, he brought over a blanket. He sat on the couch with the blanket wrapping him and slept at the door to block her way.
He was worried Serena would sneak out of the room and climb the wall to leave the house after he fell asleep.
In fact, Serena did have such an idea.
In the dead of night, she secretly walked to the door and opened the door gently. She pulled the door slightly open, only to see Zack sleeping on the couch with a blanket on him. Shocked, she immediately shut the door.
“Liar! That big fat liar is actually blocking my way at the door.”
Serena kept cussing at Zack internally. Since there was no hope of sneaking out, she had no choice but to continue sleeping.
After falling asleep, Serena had a nightmare, probably because she was in a foul mood. She dreamed that she had a row with Zack. When she woke up the next day, she was not sure whether she was awake or still in her dream.
Her face was wet. When she lifted her hand to touch her face, her palm was filled with tears.
In her dream, she had a row with Zack and wept the whole night.
Lying on the bed, she looked at the ceiling blankly.
Zack blocked her way at the door the entire night. After he woke up, he knocked on the door, yet Serena ignored him. He stood at the door for a long time before shifting the couch back to the room.
