Chapter 607
“Zachary, maybe Serenity didn’t tell you because she didn’t want you to worry?”
Duncan felt that he made a mistake and quickly offered an explanation.
However, Zachary hung up the phone.
Duncan said to himself, “Damn it. What am I supposed to do if the couple gets
into a quarrel because of this?”
Once Zachary cared about a person, he would want the other party to put him
first. In simpler terms, he was overbearing.
His domineering nature would sometimes let people feel like he cared about
them, but other times, it made people feel suffocated as if they could not
breathe.
What was worse was that Zachary would feel like he was in the wrong. For
example, he felt like he fell in love with Serenity, so he was willing to do
everything for her. However, Serenity was independent and would not tell him
everything for him to help her with. Thus, Zachary would feel that Serenity did
not trust him and did not treat him as family.
Duncan called Zachary again, but it went to the mailbox because the number he
dialed was on hold.
“Did he call Serenity in the middle of the night to question her?”
Duncan felt at a loss.
He merely said a few words. How did it cause so much trouble?
Josh was usually the one having such a loose mouth, but he never saw Josh
get into trouble.
Zachary actually called Serenity.
The couple had just ended the call not long ago, so he dared to bet that
Serenity was not yet asleep. Thus, he could not resist calling her.
Serenity was still awake. When she heard the phone ring, she reached out of
the covers for the phone and quickly retrieved her hand back in.
It was cold.
After turning on the heating for a while, she did not like how dry it was, so she
turned it off again. There was no hot water bottle in Zachary’s room, and the
natural hot water bottle that was Zachary himself was on a business trip, so she
had to bundle herself up to stay warm.
She saw that it was Zachary calling again.
She answered the call. “What’s up? I’m going to sleep.”
“What happened today?”
even have the chance to do anything.”
“I told you to tell me when you encounter difficulties! ”
Serenity sat up. ‘Did this man not listen to a single word I said? He’s just laser
pointing at the fact that I didn’t tell him about this matter.’
She said patiently, “Zachary, I also told you that I will handle stuff that I can
handle myself. There’s no need to bother you, and I won’t completely depend on
you. Like I said, even if I’ve told you, you can’t come back to help me anyway.
Why should I tell you just to worry you?
“If you want to escalate the matter to the point of saying that I don’t regard you
as family, then I can’t help it. Either way, can you guarantee that you’ve told me
everything? I don’t even know where your hometown is. Doesn’t that mean you
don’t regard me as your family either?”
Zachary choked.
“Zachary York, you’re a six-foot-tall grown-up man. Can you be a little less
petty? Don’t get angry because of something trivial and bicker over every single
thing with me. I know you’re worried about me, but I’m not the kind of weak
person who needs your help .
“If that is what you want from your wife, then I’m sorry. I can’t do it.”
