Chapter 607


    “Zachary, maybe Serenity didn’t tell you because she didn’t want you to worry?”


    Duncan felt that he made a mistake and quickly offered an exnation.


    However, Zachary hung up the phone.


    Duncan said to himself, “Damn it. What am I supposed to do if the couple gets


    into a quarrel because of this?”


    Once Zachary cared about a person, he would want the other party to put him


    first. In simpler terms, he was overbearing.


    His domineering nature would sometimes let people feel like he cared about


    them, but other times, it made people feel suffocated as if they could not


    breathe.


    What was worse was that Zachary would feel like he was in the wrong. For


    example, he felt like he fell in love with Serenity, so he was willing to do


    everything for her. However, Serenity was independent and would not tell him


    everything for him to help her with. Thus, Zachary would feel that Serenity did


    not trust him and did not treat him as family.


    Duncan called Zachary again, but it went to the mailbox because the number he


    dialed was on hold.


    “Did he call Serenity in the middle of the night to question her?”


    Duncan felt at a loss.


    He merely said a few words. How did it cause so much trouble?


    Josh was usually the one having such a loose mouth, but he never saw Josh

    get into trouble.


    Zachary actually called Serenity.


    The couple had just ended the call not long ago, so he dared to bet that


    Serenity was not yet asleep. Thus, he could not resist calling her.


    Serenity was still awake. When she heard the phone ring, she reached out of


    the covers for the phone and quickly retrieved her hand back in.


    It was cold.


    After turning on the heating for a while, she did not like how dry it was, so she


    turned it off again. There was no hot water bottle in Zachary’s room, and the


    natural hot water bottle that was Zachary himself was on a business trip, so she


    had to bundle herself up to stay warm.


    She saw that it was Zachary calling again.


    She answered the call. “What’s up? I’m going to sleep.”


    “What happened today?”


    Zachary’s voice was low. Serenity had been getting along with him for some


    time and knew that his mood was different when his tone changed.


    She instinctively said, “Nothing happened. I told you, I found out that Mrs. Stone


    is my aunt. What’s with that tone, Zachary? You sound as if you’re interrogating


    me. I didn’t take advantage of your business trip to eat and go shopping with


    other men.”


    What tone?


    “Aren’t you going to tell me about your sister? Even Duncan knows about it, and


    you’re not telling me even though I’m asking you about it. Serenity, do you not


    regard me as your family? You didn’t even tell me about something this big.”


    Serenity was speechless. “My sister and her former mother-inw have a fight


    every once in a while. Is that something big to you? We can handle it ourselves,


    so there’s no need to bother you. Besides, you’re away from home on a


    business trip. Are you going to fly home and help us fight them even if I were to


    tell you?


    “Mr. Lewis knows about it because he’s the boss of my sister’spany. Those


    two women went for my sister outside her office building, and Mr. Lewis saw it


    as he was getting off work. I didn’t tell him deliberately. When I arrived, my sister


    and them had finished fighting, and police officers had already arrived. I didn’t


    even have the chance to do anything.”


    “I told you to tell me when you encounter difficulties! ”


    Serenity sat up. ‘Did this man not listen to a single word I said? He’s justser


    pointing at the fact that I didn’t tell him about this matter.’


    She said patiently, “Zachary, I also told you that I will handle stuff that I can


    handle myself. There’s no need to bother you, and I won’tpletely depend on


    you. Like I said, even if I’ve told you, you can’te back to help me anyway.


    Why should I tell you just to worry you?


    “If you want to escte the matter to the point of saying that I don’t regard you


    as family, then I can’t help it. Either way, can you guarantee that you’ve told me


    everything? I don’t even know where your hometown is. Doesn’t that mean you


    don’t regard me as your family either?”


    Zachary choked.


    “Zachary York, you’re a six-foot-tall grown-up man. Can you be a little less


    petty? Don’t get angry because of something trivial and bicker over every single


    thing with me. I know you’re worried about me, but I’m not the kind of weak


    person who needs your help .


    “If that is what you want from your wife, then I’m sorry. I can’t do it.”
