Chapter 843
After a while, Clive asked, “How did Serenity react after she learned of your identity? Her phone has been off, so I can’t get
through.”
Zachary said sarcastically, “You’re not close with your cousin because you haven’t spent much time bonding with her, huh? I
could already get through Seren’s phone last night. You claimed that her phone had been off, but how many times have you tried
to call her?
“Why should I tell you her reaction? That’s our business. It has nothing to do with you.”
Even though Mrs. Stone was Serenity’s aunt, they had not spent much time bonding with each other. Their relationship was new.
To him, only his sister–in–law had the right to tell him off.
The Stones had no right to do so.
Clive was at a loss for words.
After being quiet for a while, Clive continued, “Zachary, sorry to bother you today. I might sound selfish for considering Elisa’s
feelings and not Serenity’s.
“You know Serenity better than I do. You should know her temper. After she learned of your identity, it would be great if she had
accepted it joyfully. If she was angry, don’t blame her. Give her some time to think about it.
“Indeed, I don’t know her very well. But I feel that a person who has lost her parents and can yet remain cheerful shows that
she’s tough and sees things positively. I believe she can still calmly face the distrust between the two of you.”
When Clive spoke up for Serenity, Zachary remained silent instead.
Seeing that Zachary was silent, Clive stopped speaking. A deathly hush descended upon the office.
Sometime later, Zachary suddenly asked Clive in a deep voice, “When your wife gave up pursuing you back then, how did you
make her change her mind and continue loving you?”
Clive blinked, wondering if Zachary was trying to learn from his experience.
“If you’re sincere to someone, they’ll do the same to you. I treated her the way she did to me back then. She actually loves me.
Before I accepted her love, I pursued her and treated her well, so she soon forgave me.”
Char14: 843
Zachary fell quiet once again.
Clive noticed that Zachary did not plan to say anything, so he rose to his feet and said, “Zachary, I won’t disturb you further. I’ll
take my leave.”
Elisa would return tomorrow
Given that things had ended in this state, everyone
had to face reality.
Zachary did not stand up to see him off.
After Clive left, Josh came in.
Zachary was not on guard at all in front of Josh. With an agonized expression, he asked Josh, “Should I let go of Seren?”
“I think a brief separation is worthwhile for the sake of a lifetime’s worth of companionship.”
“She wants a divorce.”
“Based on Serenity’s personality, it’s normal that she brings up a divorce out of fury. When couples are in the midst of a bitter
row, they’ll initiate a divorce. She might have initiated it, but have you both gotten divorced? Both of you haven’t even gone to the
city hall. All she did was mention it.
“Look at the young couples these days. They simply stir about divorce during their conflict. Both of you are just having a conflict.
She made some remarks out of anger, and you treated them seriously?”
Zachary scratched his head in distress and said, “I’m worried she’ll never come back to me anymore.”
