Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 903
After Zachary swept away all the bottles and glasses, he slumped down on the table and mumbled, “Serenity, Serenity... It’s not
like it has to be you...”
Josh and Duncan did not hear what he said clearly at first.
He murmured repeatedly, and it was only when Josh leaned into his mouth did he hear Zachary say, “It’s not like it has to be you,
Serenity.”
“What is he saying?” Duncan asked curiously when he saw Josh’s odd look.
Josh stood up straight, looked at the drunken Zachary, and said to Duncan, “Since his sudden marriage, he has gotten drunk
several times because of Serenity.”
In the beginning, when Zachary and Serenity signed the agreement, Zachary was depressed at Serenity’s indifferent attitude.
Back then, he also asked his two friends out for a drink and got drunk, and it was Jim who sent him home. That was also the first
time Jim appeared in front of Serenity as a substitute driver.
“He said ‘it doesn’t have to be Serenity‘. Hah!”
Josh laughed at his drunk friend. “Why don’t you say that to Serenity’s face? What’s the point of saying that to us here? I dare
you to go to Serenity and say that you don’t need her.”
Zachary suddenly stood up, grabbed Josh’s shoulders, and shook him fiercely while. yelling, “What else do you want from me,
Serenity? I was wrong, so I apologized to you. I also let you go back to your sister.
“What else do you want? I’m telling you, as long as I’m willing, there’s a whole line of women out there who want to marry me!
You’re not my only choice!”
Josh was dizzy from being shaken. When he heard Zachary spewing nonsense. he could not help but say, “You’re right. You can
divorce her and go marry someone else then.”
“In your dreams! I’ll never divorce! You’re mine! You’ll be mine for the rest of your life, and I’m yours! I just want you... I only want
you. I won’t let go of you. I won’t sign a contract. Don’t mention the contract to me again... I already burned it and flushed it down
the drain. You can only be my wife...”

After viciously shaking Josh, Zachary fell back to the couch like a deflated ball. He slumped against the couch and closed his
eyes, but he continued to mutter, Serenity... Serenity... I’ll support you. I can afford to support you....
“Don’t leave me... I need you... Mine. You’re mine...”
Zachary’s mumbling became softer until there was no more sound.
He fell asleep.
Josh and Duncan exchanged a look.
Josh said, “Thank God he didn’t take me for Serenity.”
Duncan asked, “Were you afraid that he would kiss you?”
“I was terrified that he would take me for Serenity and kiss me, then force himself on me. You don’t know how scared I was. Say,
do you think I should just play dead or fight back if he forces himself on me?”
Duncan was speechless.
He looked at Zachary and said, “This isn’t the Zachary I know.”
Josh said, “Don’t say that. You’ll be like him too when you fall in love with a woman and fight with her. Maybe you’ll even be
crazier than him.”
“The woman who can make me fall in love isn’t in this world yet. I’ll just watch as you guys fall in love, get married, and become
fathers.”
Duncan had seen countless women, but there was no one who made his heart skip a beat and made him want to settle down.
His best friends both found a woman they liked. Although they had sweet times, there was also trouble. The Zachary York in the
past was always calm and collected. He had never lost his cool like this.
It was better to remain single.
“You’re exaggerating. Maybe the woman who can make your heart flutter is right next to you. Anyway, help me pick this drunkard
up and get to my car. I’ll send him home. Can you take a cab back by yourself?”

“Yeah.”
Duncan helped pick Zachary up. “He’s completely wasted. There’s no one to take care of him if you bring him home. He’ll catch a
cold if he lies on the ground all night.”
