Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Zachary might pull a long face, but a rush of blood crept to his ears. He was blushing forgetting the wrong idea about Serenity, not because he was shy. There was no way he could be shy!

“It was the question of a man‘s pride!”

“Ha!” Serenity scoffed.

Zachary‘s handsome face went completely red.

“I don‘t like or love you, so why would I be jealous? I couldn‘t care less who you‘re with if it weren‘t anaffair.”

“You don‘t have to stress that you don‘t like or love me multiple times as if I‘m all over you. We’re onlyroommates living under the disguise of marriage. To be honest, I was in a hurry to move out because Ididn‘t want my sister and her husband to fight because of me. I

agreed to your nana‘s proposal to get a marriage license with you so I had a place to stay.

“If you want to talk about an ulterior motive, then it would be your house. I get free accommodation andsave on rent while still putting my sister at ease.” .

Zachary, “...”

His house was more appealing to her than him as a person.

Zachary had no qualms admitting his non–existent feelings for Serenity.

However, it was a bit much to hear the same thing coming from her mouth.

“I stand by my marriage vows. Wouldn‘t it be better if I stay in the house and drive the car you‘d leaveme after the divorce to look for another man? Why should I put myself in a position where I get

nothing?” Zachary, “...”

It took a while before he ate a humble pie and apologized to Serenity. “I‘m sorry, Serenity. I misjudgedyou.” Zachary did not have a leg to stand on anyway.

His actions warranted an apology.

“Just come to me if you have a problem next time. Don‘t lock me out the door like earlier. I anticipatetroubles in your future marriage if you keep up with that. It‘d be worse if your wife had the samepersonality as yours. The relationship will end in silent treatments before breaking down completely.”

After a brief silence, Zachary reminded her, “I‘m already in a marriage. We don‘t share the samepersonality.”

Zachary acted petty tonight, unlike Serenity who had been nothing but thoughtful. Serenity replied, “...I‘m talking about your future

vrapiti vo

marriage. Not me.”

It was in Zachary’s plans to divorce six months later.

Still, it was written clearly on the contract that the divorce would only happen if there remained nosparks between them.

Zachary‘s distrustful and stuck–up nature was not the most attractive trait in Serenity‘s books.

Even so, she had to admit that she could count on Zachary because he was attentive and consideratein many other ways. “I don‘t have feelings for anyone.”

“That sounds about right. Maybe you‘ll meet someone if you could get down from your high horse oncein a while and stop thinking that everyone‘s out to get you. You struck gold when you married me.”Zachary thought to himself, ‘... Struck gold? More like coal.‘

He had never met such a narcissistic woman in his life.

“Alright now. Now that everything‘s in the clear, you should go to bed.” Although Zachary disliked hertone, he said nothing in the end. He returned to his room and slammed the door.

Serenity murmured under her breath, “I won‘t feel bad even if you break the door. This is your houseanyway!”
