Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 638
“After marriage, I was always guarded against you and suspected you. I even made you sign a six-month agreement which was
full of restrictions for you... I admit that I’m a jerk. I’ve only ever cared about my own interests and never thought about you.
“You called me a slimeball, and you’re right. Seren, I’m sorry!”
Zachary kissed her gently on the lips, his handsome face filled with heartache. “Seren, I promise you that I won’t be like this
again. I’ll learn to understand you. I’ll learn to communicate with you and to trust you.
“It’s your first time being a wife, and it’s my first time being a husband. We’re both inexperienced, so let’s work hard and learn on
this journey, and move forward together, alright?”
Zachary muttered a lot in Serenity’s ear. As he spoke, he gradually fell asleep beside her.
This time, both the husband and wife had it bad after the fight.
Serenity went to a bar to get wasted while Zachary pulled all-nighters without eating and resting well. When he heard Serenity go
to the bar to get drunk, he dropped everything and rushed back immediately. He was hungry and exhausted.
Mrs. Lane told him that couples should trust and understand each other in order to last.
Zachary woke up earlier than Serenity.
It was already seven in the morning.
He remembered that he had not cleaned the living room yet.
He kissed Serenity on the cheek and went out to clean.
The space was swept and mopped several times. He then picked up his suit jacket and threw it into the trash. As for Serenity’s
clothes, he washed them by hand.
He was afraid of soiling the washing machine if he dumped filthy clothing into it...
After finishing the tasks on hand, the hunger pang finally hit him.
With no dinner last night and so many chores this morning, he was naturally starving.

Zachary’s hands started to shake from hunger.
He hurried into the kitchen to whip himself a quick meal and ate it to relieve his hunger. His hands finally stopped shaking.
Ring ring ring...
A phone rang.
He answered the phone.
A few minutes later, he said in a low voice, “I’ll be there in three hours.”
After hanging up the phone, he contacted the crew of his private plane to inform them to get ready. He had to leave Wiltspoon
again soon to resume his business trip. He would not be able to spend New Year’s peacefully unless he took care of things.
Speaking of which, he also had to squeeze in a trip to Annenburg for two days to attend a wedding.
He hoped he could make it back in time on the 28th to bring Serenity to Whitmore Mansion to celebrate New Year.
Zachary went back to Serenity’s room.
Seeing that she was still asleep, he did not wake her. He bent down to kiss her on the cheek and whispered, “Seren, I still have
to work for a little longer, so I can’t be by your side.
“Don’t forget to think of me. Even if it’s just to call me a jerk or a slimeball, I can accept it as long as you remember me.
“I’ll have Mrs. Lane come back later and make you food so you can eat when you wake up.”
After saying that, he stood up straight and took a good look at her affectionately before turning around to leave.
He sent a message to Mrs. Lane.
A few minutes later, when he was ready to go out, he inadvertently saw the drawing on the corner of the sofa.
Josh stuffed that drawing to him last night. He remembered Josh saying that it was drawn by Serenity, and told him to appreciate
it.
He walked over and picked up the piece of paper.
