Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 816
“Seren.”
Zachary saw her merely looking at him without speaking and called out anxiously,” Are you okay?”
Did he use too much force?
Did he damage her?
“Zachary York!”
Serenity snapped back to her senses and yelled his name through gnashed teeth She sat up and pounced on him like a
ferocious lion, grabbing his collar with one hand and chopping the back of his neck with the other.
She screamed furiously, “You jerk! You b*stard! How could you have knocked me out?!”
Her neck hurt like hell!
This b*stard said that he loved her. Was knocking her out and giving her physical pain his way of showing that?
Screw him! She would not believe a single word he said. She lived in the lies he weaved for the past four months. Her trust in
him had dropped to the negatives!
“Seren, Seren.”
Zachary did not let Serenity chop his neck for fear that she would really knock him. out and run away.
When she vented some of her anger, he forcefully took her into his arms like before and hugged her tightly, gently immobilizing
her.
“Seren, I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t have knocked you out, but I didn’t know how to make you stay. Don’t leave me, okay? I
promise you–I’ll never lie to you again! Don’t leave me, Seren!”
Zachary did not dare imagine the rest of his life without Serenity.
“Let go of me! I won’t believe a single word that comes out of your mouth. Your promises are worth sh*t! You’ve promised me so
many things, yet you were lying to me every time! I told you that we would break up if you kept lying to me!

“I don’t want to live in one lie after another. I don’t know which one is the real you. I don’t know which words you say are true.
Zachary, you’d better let me go, or I’ll never forgive you!
“You even knocked me out. You knocked me out... My neck hurts like hell now. You jerk, all you know is to cause me pain. If I’d
known you were the heir of the York family, I’d rather have gone to Shawn to lie to my sister than marry you!”
At the mention of his love rival that had just been taken out by the said rival’s parents, Zachary was both afraid and bitter.
He feared Serenity would go to Shawn in a fit of rage after finding out that he lied to her.
It had been some time since Shawn was sent to the company’s branch in Havenmill by his parents. He had not called Serenity
since, but Zachary knew the guy had not given up on her.
If Serenity called him, he would be able to leave everything behind and fly back immediately...
“Don’t you dare try to look for Shawn! I–I’ll break your... I’ll lock you in this house so you can’t leave. I’ll confiscate all your
communication devices!”
Zachary let out a low growl, making Serenity look straight at him.
After his roar, he panicked again.
He should not have said that.
It was just like at the beginning of their marriage. Sometimes, he meant well, but his mouth was brusque, and what he said
actually hurt people’s feelings.
He was sharp and decisive when dealing with business, but when it came to emotional problems, he was even worse than a
teenager.
“That’s all you know how to do. All you do is threaten me and boss me around. This is the real you, isn’t it? You’re the eldest
grandson of the York family, born with a golden spoon in your mouth. No matter if you’re at home or outside, everything revolves
around you.
“Your brothers defer to you and obey your arrangement no matter what you say or do. You’re the center of the world. In the
company, you’re the head so everything you say is law.”
