Chapter 818
Chapter 819
The furious and resentful Serenity, unable to escape, retreated into the house and locked herself in a guest room. She pulled out her cell phone, hoping to reach out to her sister or best friend for assistance, only to discover that the battery was dead.
“The heavens are truly testing me p>
Zachary did not press Serenity when she isolated herself in the guest room.
He was also seeking help.
Out of habit, he turned to Josh.
Josh had just returned Jasmine to the bookstore after bringing a charger to recharge
her e-bike.
“Mr. Bucham, could you ask Zachary what he did to Serenity p>
Jasmine was worried about Serenity, who had been forcibly taken by Zachary.
Josh nodded. “I’ll call him now p>
Despite his words, Josh had a sinking feeling in his gut.
He knew Zachary very well.
Most likely, Zachary had not handled the situation well.
Well, he was reaping the consequences of deceiving his wife.
Of course, he deserved it.
Initially, he concealed his identity to assess Serenity’s character, a decision many could understand. However, he could have revealed the truth soon after, but he hesitated, allowing his worries to prolong the deceit until now.
It would have been more unusual if Serenity hadn’t gotten angry.
Just as Josh was about to call Zachary, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen and said to Jasmine, “It’s Zachary p>
“Answer it,” Jasmine urged, eager to help with the call.
Josh answered, and Jasmine leaned in closer to listen to the conversation.
“Josh, I need your help p>
She is definitely going to leave me. I’m certain she’ll push me aside and bury me in silence.
“She even mentioned that she wouldn’t have married me if she had known I was the heir of the Yorks. She said she would prefer to seek out Shawn to deceive her sister. Is she going to be with Shawn after getting rid of me? I won’t allow that! If she dares to approach Shawn, I’ll confine her in my villa so she can’t escape my sight p>
Josh and Jasmine were left speechless.
Jasmine grabbed Josh’s phone and said to Zachary, “Zachary, if you want Serenity to calm down, you need to let her go. Keeping her under house arrest will only fuel her anger.
“If she wants to leave you, she’ll do it openly. She won’t sneak away. Serenity never runs when things get tough; she confronts issues between you two directly and honestly.
“Let her return and talk to her sister. Allow her to calm down. This is the most important thing you can do p>
Panic washed over him again, and he whispered urgently, “I can’t do it. I’m afraid to do it. If she leaves, it will be hard for me to see her again. She’s my wife, and she should live where I live. I’m not imprisoning her; she’s just staying in our home!
“She’ll leave me. She once said that a true farewell happens without words. She’ll slip away quietly without disturbing me. If I let her out of this villa, she’ll pack her bags and disappear. How will I ever find her then p>
