Chapter 521 – The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel Free Online

Swears spilled from his mouth.

“What’s going on here? Who threw me into the pool?”

He wiped the water droplets off his face and roared.

The lights around the pool glowed softly. It was peaceful and quiet.

No one responded to his roar because there was no one around the pool.

There was only a deck chair on the other side along with a blanket that had fallen. Half of the blanket dipped into the pool while the other half remained dry.

Zack swore again.

Even without asking, he knew that this was the York residence. That day, he swam in this very same pool and forced his nana out of feigning sickness.

There was no one except Nana who had the guts to get someone to place him on the edge of the pool.

He was just depressed and went drinking.

How could Nana do this to him?

Zack sobered up the moment he fell into the pool.

He walked around the pool, went back to the deck chair, and threw it into the pool. He also kicked the blanket that was used to cover him into the water. Then, he walked into the house with sopping clothes.

The lights in the lounge were still lit.

Zack entered and saw his nana sitting on the couch. With her reading glasses, she leisurely read the newspaper. Next to her was her walking cane, but she mostly used it to whack her grandchildren.

“Oh, what happened? Why did our eldest young master come back all wet? Did you go meet Poseidon for a game of chess?”

Zack had a dark expression and said nothing.

Water kept dripping from his clothes. When he stopped, a large puddle soon formed on the ground beneath him.

“Did Poseidon not tell you to stay and be his son–in–law? Besides, you said you didn’t need Serena.”

Zack frowned and walked over with a sullen face.

He stood in front of his nana and dripped water all over the ground.

Grandma May put down the newspaper, picked up her walking cane, and swung it at Zack.

Zack jumped and took several steps back.

“Nana!”

“Stand back. Don’t pee on my feet.”

“It’s not urine, Nana! It’s water!”

The scowl on Zack’s face could not be any more grimacing.

Nevertheless, he did not have the nerve to go ahead to face another beating from Nana’s cane. Taking his nana’s cynical remark to heart, Zack callously retorted, ” Nana, I never said Serena’s not the only girl out there for me.”

There was no way he would say such a thing.

Serena was the only one for him.

He did not want anyone but Serena.

“So you never said that?”

Stumped, Zack took a moment before uttering, “I might have said it in my dreams.

How did you know, Nana?”

Was it possible that it did not happen in dreamland?

He had a huge fight with Serena and said the unthinkable in a fit of rage. The rage somehow inflamed something else in him too….

“Nana, I–I had a lot to drink. What did I do to Serena while intoxicated?”

If he was drunk to use force on Serena….

Jesus!

Zack had to stop his thoughts from spiraling there.

Alcohol could really mess things up!

He was wasted.

Grandma May put down her cane and said, “How am I supposed to know what you did to Serena? You were rambling on after downing a few bottles of liquor. I thought you could use some help to sober up. How do you feel? Is your mind clear now?”

Zack fell silent before saying, “I’m sober.”

Grandma May’s method of sobering him up could end up fatal if his waking came too late. He would have to wait to reconcile with Serena in Heaven then.

“Can your problems be solved by drowning your sorrows?”

Zack shook his head. “At least I can forget my troubles for a moment.”

“Are your troubles still here now that you’re awake? Or does it feel worse? You can say anything and do anything when you’re drunk. You might think it’s a dream, but you could be acting it out in real life.”

Zack turned as white as a sheet.

He nervously asked, “What happened to Serena, Nana?”

“I don’t know.”

Grandma May’s tactic of intimidation worked. However, the old lady had no clue how Serena was doing because the person who drove her wasted grandson home last night was Josh and not her granddaughter–in–law.

Zack turned on his heel to leave.

“Come back. What time do you think it is? She’s going to give you an attitude if you wake her at this hour.”

It was five o’clock in the morning.

It was not even the break of dawn.

“Also, change out of your wet clothes. You look like you took a bath with your clothes on.”

Turning a deaf ear, Zack proceeded to walk out of there.

“Josh was the one who sent you home last night.”

Grandma May had to come clean before her drunken grandson went to Serena looking like that.

By the looks of his pale face, Zack must have done something to Serena in his dreams. Serena would probably be left scratching her head if her door was pounded first thing in the morning.

Stopping short, Zack turned around and brisked his pace back to Grandma May.

“Josh drove me home? Did I do anything to Josh?”

Furious, Grandma May smacked him on the arm and chided, “God knows what you did to Josh. Josh fled right after dropping you off. He didn’t even come in for a drink.”

Zack looked sullen.

Grandma asked him on purpose, “Zack, what happened in your dream? Josh is your most trusted and closest friend. He dumped you here before running away. Did you mistake him for Serena?”

“Nana!”

Zack hissed through clenched teeth, “I don’t remember a thing!”

His memory was stuck on asking his two best friends out to Neon Nights. He needed a drink after Serena proposed signing a new contract with him. She needed time to get used to his status as the heir of the Yorks. While she would try to adapt to his world, she would not push herself if it was not for her. If it was not meant to be, Serena hoped Zack would not push the agenda and let it go too.
