Chapter 499


    “You‘re a b*stard! You won‘t even give me a chance to exin. What you see isn’t always the truth.”


    Serenity let go of Zachary and angrily pinched him on the arm.


    He scared her.


    She thought they were entering another phase of silent treatment.


    Zachary quietly took her pinching. It hurt like hell, but he did not care.


    All was good knowing that she cared about him.


    “Shawn confessed his feelings to me, but I rejected him. I‘m your wife. I won‘t leave you unless you


    decide you don‘t want me anymore.”


    “Really?”


    The concealment of his identity came to mind.


    Would she stay by his side when she was to find out that he had been lying to her for so long?


    “Don‘t you believe me?”


    Letting out a sigh, Zachary pulled her into his arms. “Serenity, I was really angry when I saw you with


    Shawn. My instinct told me to leave. I know that you were not to me. Shawn was all over you.


    “The truth is… I‘m jealous.

    “I‘m green with envy. I‘m jealous at the thought Shawn loves you and that he has had the pleasure of


    knowing you for more than a decade.”


    Zachary had not known Serenity for long.


    His rtionship with her could not beat her decade–long rtionship with Shawn.


    Shawn got to know her and fell in love with her sooner than Zachary could.


    Zachary fell far behind Shawn in every single way.


    “Shawn and L. I told you before that he‘s a younger brother to me. I don‘t like him that way. We


    wouldn‘t have gotten married if I had romantic feelings for him. I would‘ve gone for Shawn to give my


    sister peace of mind.”


    Despite knowing that Serenity was telling the truth, Zachary could not get over his bitterness.


    Basically, Serenity was saying that Zachary stood no chance if she was into Shawn.


    Zachary could buzz off to wherever he came from.


    “Are you still jealous?”


    Lifting her chin, Serenity stared at his grimacing face. Amused, she pinched his face. “Has any talent


    scout cast you to be an actor? You make the perfect grinch without makeup.”


    Zachary took her by the hand and replied gruffly, “I am.”


    “Didn‘t you say you don‘t know what jealousy was? I had to give you a dictionary for that.”


    Zachary was at a loss for words.


    Since he had nothing, he might as well lower his head and seal those luscious lips.


    It did not slip Serenity‘s mind that they were in front of his office building. Although it was working


    hours, there were still peopleing in and out of the ce.


    She let him give her a quick peck before pushing him away.


    Serenity uttered softly, “Trust me, Zachary. I won‘t do anything to betray you while we‘re stillwfully


    married.”


    “I trust you.”


    Zachary did not take his hands away from her as they walked to her car. He pulled open the door. “Get


    inside. It‘s chilly outside.”


    It was snowy in Meadspring while the temperature had only begun to drop in Wiltspoon.


    After Serenity was stuffed into the backseat, Zachary followed suit.


    With the door closed, Zachary pinned her down to the seat and towered over her to lock


    tongues.


    It took several kisses to diminish most of Zachary‘s jealousy.


    “Don‘t meet with Shawn ever again,” Zachary demanded.


    “I know you don‘t love him, but it doesn‘t change the fact that he‘s in love with you. God knows what


    he‘ll do to you since he can‘t have you.” “I‘ll beat him up if he gets handsy.”
