Chapter 989
Serenity 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 Serenity away, Elisa teased her before turning around to bring the food out of the kitchen.
With Serenity looking at her man, Zachary 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, Serenity 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.”
Zachary whined like a man who was not getting any action. “I have nothing to do, and yet you won’t let me go with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou. We have not attended an event together since we got married.”
Serenity looked askance at him and asked, “And whose fault is that?”
Zachary 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. Zachary 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 Zachary’s resentment, he had to watch his wife get into Elisa’s car and leave with the wind. Alas, he was
left behind.
Zachary 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.”
Serenity was close to Mrs. Lane. After Zachary came clean about who he was, Sam gave it some thought and
decided to let Mrs. Lane continue her employment with Serenity.
“I don’t mind it at all.” Zachary knew of his wife’s concern, but her upbringing did not matter to him.
To him, Serenity 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.”

the missus loved Mr. Zachary. 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, Zachary 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. Zachary’s tyrannical words might start another fight.
Zachary only left with his security detail once he had John’s car towed away by traffic police.
Back at the Stones’ residence, Serenity finally put on a gown chosen by her picky aunt. Audrey personally selected
