Chapter 149


    On the contrary, Zachary was not the least bit angry. He just did not want Serenity to catch him smiling.


    It was only when he walked into the residential building that he realized his wife did not keep up with


    him. Stopping in his tracks, he turned around and asked solemnly, “Are you nning to spend the night


    standing there?”


    Snapping out of her thoughts, Serenity ran overpliantly.


    “No hard feelings, Mr. York?”


    Zachary gave her a chilly look. Well, his face tended to


    give out that vibe, to begin with. Poking her forehead, he remarked, “It better not happen again!”


    Acting like a disciplined child, Serenity raised her hand and promised, “I promise it won’t happen


    again.”


    Without another word, Zachary turned around and walked on. Serenity quickly followed behind him.


    Staring at his muscr back, Serenity felt the alcohol wearing off. She muttered to herself, ‘Nana told


    me to pounce on him, but I don’t have the confidence to warm the heart of an ice prince.’


    However, it was great fun hitting on him.


    She only had the guts to make a pass at him because she had a ss of wine. The most Serenity


    would usually do was caress his face. He kept his guard up against her as if she was pulling his pants


    off rather than touching his face.


    Once they were home, Zachary made a beeline to the kitchen.


    Since Serenity had no idea what he was up to, she asked him about it, but he ignored her. Not wanting


    to poke her nose into his business, Serenity walked to the balcony and sat on the swing. She leaned


    against the seat and pushed back on her tiptoes for a gentle sway.

    All she could think about was her sister’s marriage.


    Serenity and Zachary got married at first sight. They did not know each other prior to signing the


    papers. After marriage, the pair carried on life with mutual respect.


    They probably were not close enough to show each other their ws.


    Undeniably, Serenity had it better than her sister.


    At least, she would not be upset by Zachary’s attitude toward her as feelings were not involved in their


    rtionship!


    Nevertheless, Liberty and Hank got married after years of dating Her sister might say she had given up


    on her brother inw, but Liberty suill had feelings for Hank.


    Besides, Sonny was also in the picture.


    Thinking about the love and affection between her sister and brother-inw in the past, Serenity


    sighed.


    Was marriage really the tomb of love?


    Her sister suffered domestic violence at the hands of her brother-inw in less than three years into the


    marriage.


    “Serenity.”


    Zachary’s cries from the house pulled Serenity back to reality from her wandering thoughts.


    After she answered him, Zachary added. “I made you something for your hangover. Have a drink


    before you wash up and get to bed. Leave everything else for tomorrow.”


    He knew that Serenity felt sorry for her sister and wanted to stick up for her.


    Since it waste, and she was not exactly sober, Zachary did not want to get into it with her now.


    Serenity fell silent, not expecting that he went into the kitchen to make something for her hangover.


    She got up, left the balcony, and went inside.


    They could divorce six monthster so long as they did not invest any emotions into the marriage. They


    would proceed to go their separate ways thereafter.


    With that in mind, Serenity cautioned herself against flirting with him while she was drunk.


    They should remain a married couple by name who kept a respectful distance from each other.


    Zachary put the drink on the dining table. With Serenity stepping into the house, he said faintly, “I’ll


    leave the drink here. Clean up once you drink up.”


    He turned around and went to his room. As always, he locked the door behind it to stop her from prying


    and entering
