Chapter 7

Author: Gu Lingfei
Zachary got into the Rolls-Royce and instructed in a husky voice, “Don’t forget to bring around the national car I bought.”

It was a façade to fool his wife. What was his wife called again?

“Oh, right. What’s the name of the missus again?”

Zachary could not be bothered to dig out the marriage license. Oh, it was likely Nana did not return it to him after he showed her. Anyhow, the marriage license was not with him.

The bodyguard replied, “… The young missus is Serenity Hunt. She’s twenty-five this year. You might want to remember that.”

Mr. Zachary had an exceptional memory, but when it came to people who he was not fond of, he jammed them out.

This was especially true with women. He probably would not know the lady’s name even if they met every day.

“Sure. Got it.”

Zachary responded offhandedly.

Judging by Zachary’s tone, the bodyguard knew he would not be bothered to learn the young missus’ name.

Refusing to waste more brain cells on Serenity, Zachary slumped against the seat and rested his eyes.

The journey from Wiltspoon Hotel to Brynfield took ten minutes.

With the luxury sedan convoy stopping at the neighborhood gate, Zachary proceeded to drive the national MPV into the neighborhood.

Although he could not remember his bride’s name, Zachary was not going to forget about the property he bought.

Soon, he arrived at the entrance to his home and took notice of a pair of familiar slippers at the door. They seemed to be his.

Why were they thrown out?

It must be Serenity!

Doing a slow burn, Zachary scrunched up his chiseled face. He was grateful to the girl for saving Nana at first, but all that good impression was lost following Nana’s constant praising of her and nagging to marry her.

Now Zachary believed Serenity was a conniving person.

Although he gave in to Nana to marry Serenity in the end, Zachary drew the line there. He planned to keep his identity hidden after marriage to be the judge of Serenity’s character. If Serenity passed the test, he would accept her as his wife forever.

If he were to find out that she was a scheming woman, then she should get what was coming.

No good ever came to those who played games with Zachary.

Whipping out his keys, Zachary tried to unlock the door, but his attempt was futile. He was less than happy when he realized that the woman had locked him out.

This was his house!

He let her in, and yet she locked her out!

Seeing red, Zachary lifted his foot and kicked the door. Bang!

Zachary was also trying to get Serenity on the phone.

Because of the earlier incident, Zachary saved Serenity’s contact and added the spousal title as a reminder. Otherwise, it was likely that he would delete Serenity’s contact once more as he had trouble putting a face to her name.

Serenity was startled awake by the kick on the door.

Who was pounding the door in the middle of the night? How was she supposed to sleep?

Serenity was a grump in the morning, not to mention now that she was woken up by the noise. Throwing off the covers, Serenity stormed out in her pajamas.

Since her phone was in the room, she had no idea that Zachary called.

“Who is it? Why are you knocking on my door when you should be sleeping?”

Serenity opened the door as she ran her mouth at the guy standing outside. She was stumped the moment she got a good look at the person’s face. Serenity stared at Zachary’s face for a while before getting ahold of herself and putting on a smiling face. She embarrassedly uttered, “Oh, it’s you, Mr. York.”

Zachary’s rage was already at an all-time high as she did not pick up his call.

Brushing Serenity off, Zachary walked past her and entered the house with a sour face.

Serenity stuck her tongue out behind his back.

This was the aftereffect of marrying at first sight.

She popped her head out the door to look. It was a good thing the neighbors were not awakened by Zachary’s vigorous slamming.

Spotting the slippers by the door, Serenity bent over to put them back inside the house before locking the door behind her.

“I got home at midnight. I thought you wouldn’t be coming back since you weren’t home by then. That’s why I locked the door.”

Serenity explained.

“I was alone at home, so I thought I should put your slippers at the door just to be safe. People will know there’s a man in the house if they see a man’s slippers. They wouldn’t dare try anything.”

No bad guys scared Serenity as she practiced self-defense. Nevertheless, it did not stop Serenity from putting home safety measures into place.

Sitting on the sofa, Zachary stared icily at her with dead-pan yet penetrating eyes.

The nights in October were chilly, to begin with. Not only did Serenity feel the chill from his piercing glare, but it also felt like winter was brought forward. It was freezing!

“I’m sorry, Mr. York.”

Serenity brought his slippers over and placed them by his feet while apologizing.

She should have called to ask if he was coming back.

It took a while before Zachary coldly blurted, “I said not to mind me, but this is my home. I’m not happy that you locked me out.”

“I’m sorry, Mr. York. I’m sorry. Next time, I’ll call in advance to check if you’re coming back. I’ll lock the door if you have no plans to return.”

After a brief silence, Zachary uttered, “I’ll inform you when I’m going on business trips. I’ll be home every day unless I tell you otherwise. Don’t call me. I’m a busy man. I don’t have time to take your tiresome calls.”

“Oh,” Serenity answered.

He could have the last say since this was his place anyway.

He was the boss.

“Mr. York, do you want any supper?”

Since Zachary worked until late, Serenity thought he must be hungry. Hence, she asked out of kindness.

“I don’t have a habit of midnight snacking.”

    Grandma May did not stop Heath from kicking his blanket and simply covered him with it again after he was done.When she saw Tania entering, she said, “Look at the baby, Tania. His legs are so strong. He can even kick his blanket away.”Tania walked over and was about to lift Heath.However, Grandma May stopped her, saying, “Don’t carry him if he isn’t crying.“Let him play on his own.”“How can he possibly play when he’s so small?”Tania withdrew her hands. “Heath doesn’t cry much. I’ve never heard him cry.”“How can you possibly hear him crying when your room is so far away? Zack’s room is soundproof. You don’t have enhanced hearing. Besides, Zack has been looking after Heath and Serenity based on everything he learned beforehand.“If Heath keeps crying under his care, it means he isn’t doing well as a father.”After speaking, Grandma May lifted Heath into her arms.Tania could not resist saying, “You said there was no need to carry the baby if he isn’t crying, yet you’re d

    “Zack brought Sonny to school.”Grandma May caressed Heath’s face, “I guess you’ve decided to name him Heath. What about a middle name? Have you and Zachary thought of one?“We can help you think of a middle name.”Grandma May was eager. She had named her sons while she and her late husband thought of their grandsons’ names together.However, she respected Zachary and Serenity and decided not to steal the opportunity to name their baby.Serenity replied, “Zachary hasn’t decided on a middle name. I’m not good at naming and have no idea which one is good. I’ll let Zachary decide. Heath’s still young anyway. We can go with Heath first and think of a middle name later.”“You’re right. There’s no need to rush. It’s only been a few days since you came back from the hospital.”Serenity felt that quite some time had passed since she had gotten discharged. In reality, she had only been back for a few days.On the other hand, Liberty had already returned to Jensburg. There was a lot of w

    When Serenity exited the bathroom, she saw Zachary carefully placing Heath in the crib beside the bed. “Don’t put him down so soon. He might spit milk.”Serenity quickly reminded Zachary not to let Heath lie down so quickly.“Carry him for a little while more.”Zachary picked Heath up again and asked, “How long should I hold him?”“For quite some time more.“Put Heath beside me later instead of the crib. We must get used to having him beside us, so you don’t squish him again.”Zachary pressed his lips together. He said, “I think he’s coming between us.“I finally realize who my biggest rival is, honey. It’s our son.”Serenity was speechless. Zachary added, “I can’t hit or scold Heath, and I even have to spend my money to raise, educate, and nurture him.”Serenity laughed. “He won’t be your love rival after he marries someone else’s daughter. Now, he’s your son.“If we follow your logic, we probably can’t have more children. A son would be your love rival, and a daughter w

    “If our second baby turns out to be a daughter, I should get jealous when you dote on her.”Zachary said lovingly, “Even if we have a daughter, you’re still the top priority in my heart. My love for our children won’t exceed what I feel for you.“Our children will grow up, and we’ll grow old. After they become adults, they’ll leave us and build their own families. You’re the only one who’ll be by my side till we’re old.“You’re the most important person to me, Seren. No one can take your place.”Serenity smiled. “I’ll see if you can keep your word when we have a daughter in the future.“What if we get another son on our second try, babe? Should we go for a third baby?”After thinking about it, Zachary said, “No. We’ll only have two children. We’ll give up if our second baby isn’t a daughter.“No matter how great the psychic is, he isn’t a god. He can make mistakes, too. There’s no need to keep giving birth because of his single sentence.”Aunt Sasha had tried for a daughter for

    Zachary tried his best to recall whether he had strongly pressed on Heath’s hand.He thought it was not too bad.“It’s probably fine.”After Serenity coaxed him for a while, Heath stopped crying and stared at his parents.“His hand is probably not broken since he stopped crying. If it were, he wouldn’t have stopped crying this quickly.”Zachary let out a breath of relief. He approached Heath and caressed his face. He said apologetically, “I didn’t do it on purpose, little one. I forgot you were sleeping beside your mom and accidentally pressed on your hand.“I promise I’ll be careful from now on and never hurt you again.”Serenity said, “Why don’t you sleep in the study? Heath isn’t difficult to take care of. I can handle him myself.”“No. I’ll sleep here. I’ll be careful not to squish our son in the future. It’s best not to tire you out during postpartum. Even if Heath is easy to take care of, you have to wake up several times at night to feed him.“If so, you’ll hardly get a

    Zachary laughed. “Yes, yes. You have many admirers too. When Ms. Doyle thinks she has too many love rivals, she won’t want to be with you anymore. No girls like having many rivals.”“Serenity has plenty.”Zachary was speechless.“Even after you and Serenity got married, there were still people who had a crush on you and wanted to ruin your marriage.”Zachary did not know what to say.“I just need four people, Zachary. You can have them come over tomorrow.”Zachary feigned anger and said, “Okay. Let’s hang up if you have nothing else. Don’t call me over such trivial matters again. Just contact Sam and have him make the necessary arrangements.”Dylan laughed. “I called you because I missed you and my nephew. Ah, I can’t believe I miss Heath this much when it’s only been a day.”“If you miss him so much, you can come back. I’ll get Alex to be in charge of the branch companies there.”Dylan quickly said, “No. I can do it. Alex can learn from you and the rest for longer. He hasn’t
