Chapter 817

“This is your true personality. You’re always self–centered and lord over everything You’re overbearing, arrogant, egotistical, and even paranoid!”

Serenity’s words were full of mockery.

That was Zachary’s character.

He behaved the same way at the beginning of their marriage. Even if he pretended to be an ordinary person, his mannerisms were ingrained in him and could not be changed.

It was only after the couple’s feelings warmed up and they had two conflicts that his overbearing self improved slightly.

Now, he revealed his true colors again.

It was suffocating to be with a Zachary York like that.

That was especially true for Serenity, a woman who liked her independence. If she had a conflict with a man like Zachary, the fight would escalate and only worsen.

Zachary clearly wanted to calm Serenity down, but he kept making mistakes that exacerbated his case, causing her anger to soar even higher. There was no way to extinguish the fury now.

“Seren…”

Zachary let her go and instead touched her face lightly, saying as if he was in pain, Don’t go to Shawn, okay? It took me a lot of effort to drive him out of Wiltspoon so he wouldn’t be able to see you again.

Don’t go to him.”

“You drove Shawn out of Wiltspoon? Did you say something to Aunt Rachel?”

After her questioning, she added wryly, “What do I have to be surprised about? I don’t even know how many things you’ve done behind my back. Heh. Zachary, do you even regard me as your family?

“Then again, I’m not your family. Women are still outsiders even if they marry into another family.

They’re just guests. With what audacity could I expect you to treat me as family… You kept so many things from me and lied to me for so long. You’re just treating me like an outsider…”

Serenity’s eyes reddened with injustice as she spoke, but she forced herself not to cry.

She did not want to cry in front of Zachary. She did not want to be comforted by a hypocrite like him.

“Seren, you’re my family. You’re the wife I want to spend the rest of my life with. I know I let you down. I hurt you and destroyed your trust in me, but I promise…”

Serenity looked at him coldly. The ice and obvious mockery in her eyes made it so Zachary could not finish his sentence.

His promise was not worth anything to her anymore.

Zachary bowed his head, kissed her face and lips, and said, “Seren, the men of the York family never get divorced. I’ll never divorce you!”

Serenity pushed him away and tried to get out of bed. He did not want to divorce, but she did.

Of course, she would not say it out loud now, lest that jerk knock her out again.

She was so angry!

Her neck hurt like hell!

“Where are you going, Seren? You can’t go anywhere!”

Zachary pulled her back in fright and jumped out of bed, hugging her waist from behind.

“Look, Seren. I prepared these money flowers for you. It’s a Valentine’s Day gift. There are also thirty sets of jewelry so you can wear a different one every day of the month. There are also bags, skin care products, and cosmetics. Don’t use the skin care products that Elisa gives you anymore. Your husband can afford them for you.”

He forcefully pulled Serenity to the vanity, picked up two sets of keys on the table, then stuffed them into her hands, saying, “Here are the keys for the villa and car I bought for you.

“Do you like the gifts I got for you, Seren? It’s my first Valentine’s Day, so I copied what people usually do since I have no experience. Tell me if you don’t like them and I’ll get you anything you want as long as I can obtain it.”

He did not dare guarantee things that he could not get.

What if she asked for the stars in the sky?

Serenity took the two bunches of keys and slapped the back of his hand. When he loosened his grip a little, she stepped on his foot so hard that he instinctively jumped up and released her.

She threw the two keyrings to his chest and said coldly, “Thank you for the generosity, Mr. York, but I can’t afford to accept it!”

Then, she turned to leave.

“Seren!”

“Zachary York.”

When Zachary was about to catch up, Serenity stopped, turned around, and coldly warned him, “If you dare sneak up behind me and knock me out again, I’ll cut ties with you immediately!”

Zachary was too afraid to sneak up on her again.

He also could not bear to knock her out again. He felt distressed because her neck would hurt.
