First Sight Novel Serenity And Zachary
Married at First Sight Gu Lingfei Chapter 880 – “It has nothing to do with Zachary. I cut myself by accident.”
Acting like everything was okay, Serenity said to Elisa, “Elisa, the thing about me and Zachary…”
“I don’t blame you, Seren. You don’t have to explain or apologize to me. It’s not like we just met. I’m only furious that Zachary lied to both of us. He made a monkey out of us cousins.” Moments ago, Jasmine had told Elisa the whole story about Serenity findingout Zachary’s identity.
Elisa’s heart went out to her cousin who was fooled the whole time. “Seren, I gave up on Zachary a long time ago. I got over Zachary the moment
I found out he was married. I feel more at peace after I backed off and stopped thinking about him for a while.
Don’t let me come in the way of your decision. Lying aside, he’s someone you can spend the rest of your life with. “Of course, since he played you like a fiddle, I hope you take your time in forgiving him. At least, make him suffer for a bit.”
Now that Elisa thought about it, she was the older cousin–in–law to Zachary now. Elisa could straighten Zachary out for her cousin.
“That’s what I think, but I won’t interfere with what you think or how you want to deal with the matter.”
Elisa picked her injured finger up for a careful inspection. “The bleeding doesn’t seem to stop. Let’s get you to the hospital. You’re looking a little pale
too. “I’ll drive you to the hospital.” Serenity refused even though her finger was hurting like hell.The scissor really drilled deep into her finger.
It was a good thing her finger was still intact. “I’m your cousin, older at that too. You have to listen to me.” Not taking no for an answer, Elisa dragged Serenity out. Jasmine was on Elisa’s side, convincing Serenity to clean and redress her injury at the hospital.
Serenity gave in to her best friends‘ persuasion and let Elisa drive her to the hospital. Meanwhile, Zachary was headed for his office after picking up what was left of his dignity and leaving the bookshop. Josh was surprised by Zachary’s return. Ditching the work at hand, Josh rushed to Zachary’s office.
“What brings you back? Didn’t you say you won’t be at the office for a while? Look at your scary face. Don’t tell me you had another argument with your
wife.” Josh poured Zachary a glass of water. “Have a drink. Calm yourself down.”
Zachary helped himself to the drink and downed the water before slamming the glass on the table. He remained without a word.
“Say something. Tell me if you’re facing another issue. I told you time and again–you need to do something about that temper of yours.”
“Elisa is back from her travels.” Josh unconcernedly replied, “So she’s back. Are you scared she’s going to do something to your wife when she finds out? I trust you are capable of protecting your woman.” Zachary answered, “It’d be easier to handle if she does anything to hurt Serenity, but she didn’t.
Elisa was furious and criticized me for lying to Serenity. She accused me of making a monkey out of her and Serenity.
Things were starting to get slightly better between me and Serenity, but Elisa blew it by turning up and now we’re back to square one.
“Serenity even tried to kick me out! I told her off in the heat of the moment… I ran away before I lost my temper and did something to hurt her.”
Josh stared blankly at him. Hot and bothered, Zachary added,
“It’s so hard to appease women! I let her go home with her sister when she wanted to stay with her family. She wanted
to cool off, but my presence wasn’t a bother to her. Why did she ask me to leave then? I just wanted to see her. That’s all.”
“What did you say to her?” “I asked if she cared more about Elisa because she’d rather have Elisa around instead of me. She always does that to me. She chooses others over me while I always put her first. I guess I can’t even compare to Sonny. Well,
Sonny is her nephew, so I can’t take it to heart, but I can’t believe Elisa is more important than me.”
Now that Josh got to the bottom of things, he composedly uttered, “You’re jealous of Elisa.
It did not sit well with Serenity that Elisa gave you a piece of her mind, so she asked you to leave.
Yet, you got riled up. Zachary, I don’t know how to make this clearer to you.”
