Chapter 502 – The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel Free Online

Left alone in an empty bedroom, Zack could only find companionship with his pillow.

Zack took a seat on the couch. Since Sonny had always been fond of Zack, he slipped out of his mother’s embrace and climbed up Zack’s lap. Sonny sat down on Zack’s lap.

“Uncle Zack.”

“Sonny.”

Zack held the little guy with one hand and picked up the glass of water with the other. It did not take long before Zack put down the glass. It was scalding!

It crossed Zack’s mind that Serena personally brought the glass out of the kitchen. She did not break the glass even though the drink was piping hot. The water must be to warm him up.

Serena was angry and gave him the snub, still refusing to forgive him. Nevertheless, her tiny gestures told Zack that Serena was not as heartless as she put herself out to be.

With that in mind, Zack felt a little better.

As Sonny leaned forward, Zack immediately moved the glass aside before hot water was knocked over.

Sonny wanted to open the bag of snacks.

Zack pulled the bag over and opened it for him.

“Thank you, Uncle Zack.”

Grabbing a pack of chips from the grocery bag, Sonny gave it to Zack and said, ” This is for you, Uncle Zack. Aunt Ser said it’s tasty.”

Aunt Ser rarely bought him chips, stating that too much junk food was not good for him.

Why did Aunt Ser always help herself to a bag then?

After Zack took the bag of chips, Sonny dug out a few more bags and gave them to Zack. The little boy then slid down from Zack’s lap and carried the grocery bag with the remaining snacks with a struggle, saying, “This is all mine.”

Liberty amusedly took the bag from her son and uttered, “The bag is heavier than you. Put the bag here. You can’t have any tonight, but you can have some tomorrow. You’ll spoil your dinner if you have them all at once.”

She then turned to Zack. “Sonny doesn’t share. There’s the occasional exception with a few kids, but not with adults though.”

Zack had always kept a straight face while interacting with Sonny right from the start. However, Sonny was not afraid of him. In fact, the little man got along well with Zack.

Despite meeting Duncan multiple times, Sonny still could not look Duncan in the eye. There was something about human relations that was hard to fathom.

Zack laid out the few bags he got from Sonny and replied, “Sonny, I don’t really like to eat snacks. You can have them back.”

Sonny grabbed the junk food and stuffed it back into the grocery bag.

It made Zack laugh.

Sonny climbed back into his mother’s arms.

Soon, his young body gave in to weariness as Sonny dozed off in his mother’s embrace.

Zack did not want to leave, but since Sonny was asleep and his wife was holed up in the room, it was a bit awkward for him and his sister–in–law to sit there in silence. He finished the drink, got up, and said, “I got to go, Liberty.”

“Sure. Be safe on the road.”

Liberty rose to her feet while carrying her son to see Zack off.

He walked on, telling Liberty that she did not have to. Although he kept his attention on Serena’s bedroom door, his hopes were dashed when the door remained shut and kept the beautiful figure from coming out.

Zack sighed.

He felt their fight had gone on for a long time, but it had only been a couple of days.

It had been rough for sure.

Zack did not return to his place at Regent Residences. Instead, he went to Brynfield where he had stayed with Zack since they signed the marriage papers.

The couple spent many of their moments here.

He pushed open the door to a house of darkness.

Standing outside the door, Zack was brought back to the day they got married. He came home the first night to find Serena had locked him out.

He had forgotten he had a wife while it slipped her mind she had a husband too.

It was a marriage of convenience back then, and the couple was cordial, if not distant, with one another.

Now that Zack thought about it, those moments were near and dear to him.

Struck by a thought, Zack flipped the lights on and hurried to Serena’s bedroom. He flung the door open and looked at the unchanged décor. Her things were still around.

He examined her closet and found a few pieces of clothing missing. Her suitcase was still beside the wardrobe. She did not take all her things with her.

Zack sighed heavily with relief.

He was so afraid of losing someone for the first time ever.

Sitting on Serena’s bed, Zack brushed his fingers along her sheets as if he could feel her through her belongings.

“Seren…”

He murmured her name.

“I’ll prove to you through my actions that you won’t hear another lie from me again!

“You can ignore me for a year if I ever do anything to deceive or hurt you. Um… year’s a bit long. Maybe three months.”

After much thought, Zack believed he would go crazy from three months of no interaction with Serena. He mumbled to himself, “I think a week is fine. I lost my mind when you didn’t talk to me for a day. A week would push me over the edge. I think it’s a hard enough punishment.”

Serena would be speechless if she were there now.

Zack stayed in her room for a while before going out to close the main door. He did not lock the house in case Serena woke up in the middle of the night from the cold and missed his warm embrace. She might just come running home to him.

Of course, it was all wishful thinking and could hardly become a reality.

Even if Serena was willing to talk to him, their relationship could not possibly go back to where it once was right away.

That night, Zack slept in Serena’s bedroom.

It was a quiet night.

The following morning, Serena got up early to make her sister and nephew breakfast just like when she was still staying with her sister. After breakfast, Serena grabbed her car keys and phone and went out the door.

She had to return to the shop today and rush her orders out. Her clients were already asking for updates.

Heartbreak was no big deal. It could not come in the way of her making money.

A day was good enough for her to let out all her bad feelings.

Since it was early, traffic was pretty decent.

Serena brisked through traffic all the way to Wiltspoon School.

Pulling up outside the shop, Serena got out of the car and saw Mr. Charles standing outside his shop with a plate in hand. He greeted her with a wave and a smile.

“Morning, Mr. Charles. Having breakfast, are you?”

“Good morning, Serena. I just had mine. Have you had yours?”

“I came after breakfast. I thought you’d only open for business on the first day of school.”

Mr. Charles replied with a grin, “The school term starts the day after tomorrow. We came early to tidy up the place and prepare for the students‘ return.”

Still holding the plate, Mr. Charles drew close and added, “I thought you’d be close for business.”
