Chapter 563 – The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel Free Online

Mrs. Stone wanted to know about her sister’s childhood, and the only way of getting that information was through her sister’s adoptive parents.

No matter what, Mrs. Stone was grateful to her sister’s adoptive parents.

If it were not for them, her sister might not make it to adulthood and would not leave behind two nieces as a consolation for Mrs. Stone who had been in search of her sister.

“Of course, I don’t mind. Aunt Audrey mentioned that she wanted to go back to my hometown with me and visit my mom’s grave… I’ve just been busy over the new year, so I haven’t made it happen.”

It was not too long after New Year’s when she found out about Zack. The fight between the couple became a cause of concern to the people around them. The plans to go back to the hometown had since been delayed.

Elisa then said, “I heard what you said to Zack. It’s best to solve the property issue as soon as possible. Always remember to ask us if you need anything.”

“Don’t worry. I will be forthcoming when I need help with anything.”

Elisa scoffed and replied, “That’s what you always say, but you never include me in anything. You always charge ahead without me.”

She could never forget the time Serena brought a group to wreck Hank’s home. Jasmine asked Serena if Elisa should come along, but Serena never bothered to mention it to her.

Elisa missed out on the most exciting thing ever!

Serena chuckled and went ahead to give Elisa a hug. She settled Elisa down, “Don’t be mad, Elisa. I won’t let you miss out on the next fun.”

“Don’t hold me. Your man is glaring at me.”

Nudging Serena away, Elisa teased her before turning around to bring the food out of the kitchen.

With Serena looking at her man, Zack answered in a stiff voice, “Even if she’s a woman, I mind that you hug her. You can hold me if you want to hold anyone.”

Leaning in, Serena quickly gave him a smooch on the face and pinched his cheek.” Alright, alright. I’ll only cuddle with you from now on. Go and wash your hands. I have to get to my aunt’s place once you’re well-fed.”

Zack whined like a man who was not getting any action. “I have nothing to do, and yet you won’t let me go with you. We have not attended an event together since we got married.”

Serena looked askance at him and asked, “And whose fault is that?”

Zack shut up right away. It was his fault and his problem.

They would have attended social meetings together as a couple a long time ago if he had not hidden his identity from her. Zack would have her by his side for social and business events, unlike now where he was ditched at home while she worked the social mingling.

Despite Zack’s resentment, he had to watch his wife get into Elisa’s car and leave with the wind. Alas, he was left behind.

Zack stood outside the bookshop for a long time before saying, “I get the feeling that I’ve just been ditched by the missus, Mrs. Lane.”

Standing not too far away, Mrs. Lane replied, “Sir, everything the missus is doing now is for you. You should be happy.”

Serena was close to Mrs. Lane. After Zack came clean about who he was, Sam gave it some thought and decided to let Mrs. Lane continue her employment with Serena.

“I don’t mind it at all.” Zack knew of his wife’s concern, but her upbringing did not matter to him.

To him, Serena was good enough.

So what if she came from a poor family? Everybody was poor once. Not everybody was born in a big city.

“But the missus cares about it. She’s willing to learn and adapt to your circle because she loves you. The road ahead is long for you both, and it’s not going to be easy. The missus wants to learn to stand by your side.

“We should give our full support to the missus.”

It was not easy to be a wife to a wealthy family. There were pressure and responsibilities that came with being Mrs. York.

The missus was motivated to learn for Mr. Zack. With her trying to be a competent wife, it could only mean that the missus loved Mr. Zack. Otherwise, who would be willing to change themselves for someone else?

“I’m concerned that she might not get used to it. The last thing I want is her asking for a divorce, quoting that we’re not compatible.”

Mrs. Lane replied, “You should have faith in yourself and the missus, sir.”

After a long silence, Zack gave an affirmative answer and added, “She can kill me if she wants to be free from me. The only way she can be single is when she becomes a widow.”

Mrs. Lane was speechless.

It was a good thing the missus had left. Otherwise, Mr. Zack’s tyrannical words might start another fight.

Zack only left with his security detail once he had John’s car towed away by traffic police.

Back at the Stones’ residence, Serena finally put on a gown chosen by her picky aunt. Audrey personally selected Serena’s wardrobe.

Serena thought she could just put on whatever.

However, Audrey said they had to dress for the occasion.

Tonight’s event was for the upper middle class. Audrey initially had no intention of attending the social meeting, but since Serena asked for a favor, she thought it would be perfect for Serena to start off with. Hence, she told the host that she would be attending for Serena to ease into the circle.

Since it was not an event among the upper crust, there was no need to be overly dressy. Audrey did not pick out the fanciest gown for Serena.

Serena had a slim figure and a great face. She carried herself with grace too. Any gown would bring out her natural beauty.

With Serena coming out in the gown, Audrey complimented, “Seren, you just have that refined air about you. You have a great figure that works nicely with the dress. It would be perfect if you don’t walk too quickly.”

Serena was trained in the art of self-defense. Although she was endowed with natural beauty, she walked and carried out tasks like a boss. The way she walked was definitely faster than any lady could keep up.

“Aunt Audrey, I can stamp someone with these heels.”

Since Serena always had either sneakers or flats on, it was easy for her to move around. She was not used to wearing high heels. The most she would do was put on a pair of kitten heels whenever she attended social gatherings in the higher society with Jasmine and Mrs. Sox. She rarely ever wore high heels.

“I’ll give you my full support if you go ahead with investing in some project or business with Elisa. It won’t bother me that you take things fast, but tonight, you must be a lady. Pace yourself. I could barely keep up with you when we went shopping the other day.”

Rosiness crept onto Serena’s cheeks.

Elisa brought out the killer stilettos for Serena tonight.

Intimidated by the stilettos, Serena asked, “Aunt Audrey, Elisa, I’m scared I won’t be able to walk in those heels. The heels are so high and thin. Will the heels break when I run?”

Audrey was rendered speechless.

Elisa remarked with a smile, “No one is asking you to run in those heels.”

Serena stole a glance at her aunt’s face before putting on the stilettos. Grabbing Elisa’s hand, she stood up and took a few steps. She was tempted to kick the stilettos off her feet.

Oh, how she longed for her house loafers.

“Wear these heels down the stairs and walk a few rounds on the front lawn. We can leave when you feel comfortable in them.”

Audrey was so focused on picking outfits and shoes for Serena the other day that she forgot to let Serena practice wearing the heels.

Serena quietly stuck her tongue out. Without defying Aunt Audrey’s orders, she cautiously strutted out of the room.

“I’ll go with Seren, Mom.”

Taking pity on Serena, Elisa merrily went with her cousin.

Once out of the room, Elisa gave Serena a sympathetic look as the latter clung to the barrister and walked. Elisa commented, “You asked for it. You could’ve asked anyone for help, but you sought guidance from my mother. My mom is all about etiquette. She could probably work for the Queen. She probably will tell you to start over if you don’t do a good job.”

Serena was lost for words.

Who else could she look for, if not Aunt Audrey?

If she were to go with Zack, Zack would dote on her so much and be cool with her leaving home in her loafers.

“It’s still hours before the event anyway. You can take your time to practice.” Elisa added with a smile, “I’ll be here with you.”
