Zack thought about how Serena seemed to care about everyone except for him, and his heart felt bitter again.
Elisa asked Serena, “Seren, do you want him or me to send you back?”
“I’ll take a cab myself.”
Serena did not let Elisa or Zack send her back so she would not offend either party.
Ugh, life was so hard!
“Let Zack send you back. I’ve been out for a long time and should be going back too. My mom doesn’t even know I went out.
Elisa took the initiative to step down.
She looked deeply at Zack, then let go of Serena and left.
“Zack.”
She suddenly stopped again, turned, her head, and called out Zack’s name. “Don’t force Serena, Zack! Also, my family will always stand on Serena’s side. Don’t think that you can bully her because she doesn’t have a maiden home to rely on. If you dare to restrict her freedom like the other day, I’ll come to your door to beat you up!”
Zack’s handsome face was tense as he said coldly, “You won’t have the chance.”
He wanted nothing more than to hold Serena in his arms now. How could he bear to bully her?
“Seren, tell me if he treats you badly. I’ll seek justice for you. Also, you still need to change the way you talk to me, Zack. If you don’t speak to me politely, it means you don’t respect Serena’s maiden home. It also means that your love for her isn’t deep enough.”
Zack was speechless.
He really wanted to cuss!
The Stones were all the same.
Clive was like this too.
Elisa walked away smugly as if she had just won the battle.
“Seren, I respect your maiden family. Elisa is just deliberately trying to drive a wedge between us. She wants us to separate.”
Serena looked at him and said, “Elisa told me many things about you before you arrived, but none of it was her trying to drive a wedge between us. Don’t judge her with your own mean measure again. Elisa is a very good girl.”
After saying that, she took the bag containing the topical medicine from his hand, walked past him, and left.
Zack was itching to know what Elisa said to Serena.
He silently followed Serena out of the hospital.
Jim and the others were waiting at the entrance.
When they saw the young couple coming out, they came forward and respectfully greeted Serena.
Serena stopped, but she did not say anything and started walking again.
Zack saw that she had no intention of getting into his car. With a despondent face, he instructed Jim, “Drive your missus back. I’ll go back to the office.”
“Yes, sir.”
Jim knew that the young couple had not made up yet and did not dare say anything more.
He quickly got into the car and drove to catch up to Serena.
Zack watched from afar as Serena finally got into Jim’s car before feeling relieved.
Fortunately, she did not refuse his arrangement.
Zack returned to the office and ordered Mr. Chaplin to send all the documents he needed to handle to his room. Then, he shut himself inside and forbade anyone to enter and disturb him.
Even Josh and Callum were turned away.
Serena went back to the bookstore.
Her hand was injured, so she could no longer weave her crafts. She sat at the checkout counter, holding a pen while scribbling on paper.
Jasmine came out with a plate of sliced honeydew and placed them in front of Serena. She sat down and handed Serena a fork, saying, “Don’t bottle it up. You can talk to me.”
“Say, what else can I do besides opening a bookstore and an online store? Which industry will let me make a large amount of money quickly?”
Jasmine laughed. “If you’re lucky, then go buy lottery tickets, You’ll have a large amount of money if you win a few million.”
“Forget it. I’ve never been that lucky. A person has to get rich through their own earnings. It’s no wonder I’ve always been poor.”
“Why are you suddenly thinking about making money? Do you lack money now?”
“I only have a few hundred thousand in my savings account. I don’t lack money, but I’m not considered rich either. Elisa said a lot of things to me. I need to think about the reality gap between Zack and me.”
Jasmine asked, “Are you not angry at him anymore?”
“Whether or not I’m angry, I still have to think about my future with him.”
Serena sighed. “I just wanted to find an ordinary man to marry. How did I jump into such a large pit? Now, I can’t climb back out. Elisa said that even if I sue for divorce, I won’t be able to leave if Zack doesn’t let me.”
“If you dare to sue for divorce, he’ll imprison you in the house for the rest of your life.”
“Stop bringing that up. It’ll only make me angrier.”
Serena forked a piece of honeydew’ to eat. “This melon is quite sweet.’
“Of course it is. I picked it out myself. At first, we were all worried that Elisa would turn against you when she found out, but judging by her reaction, she’s still rational. Although she’s also angry, she doesn’t blame you for it.
“If Elisa wants to blame anyone, she can only blame the fact that Mr. York and her weren’t meant to be. After all, Mr. York never liked her or gave her any promises. She has the right to like Mr. York, and he has the right to reject her.
“You just need to consider the reality between you and Mr. York. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”
Serena put down her fork and sighed again. “Let me think about it on my own.”
They were all trying to persuade her.
“Okay, I won’t say anything. You mull over it yourself. Besides, I’ll support you no matter what decision you make. Aren’t you eating anymore?”
“I’m not hungry.”
Jasmine did not force her.
People who were hurt by love were like this. Some stuffed themselves, while others stopped eating and sleeping.
The sky gradually darkened.
There was the sound of footsteps outside.
Soon, they saw Grandma May and Tania walking in.
“Grandma May.”
Jasmine had never seen Tania before and did not dare greet her.
Serena stood up. “Nana, Mom, what are you doing here?”
Jasmine realized that the person beside Grandma May was Zack’s mother, also known as Serena’s mother-in-law.
“We came here to apologize to you. Seren, the person who lied to you first was me. If you want to blame anyone, then blame me. What happened to your hand?”
Grandma May had come over to apologize to Serena personally.
She was the first person to lie to Serena.
“I accidentally cut myself with the scissors. It’s no big deal.”
Serena invited the two women to sit down.
