Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 593

On their way home, Serene asked Wilson out of curiosity, “Why did you tell Teacher Zaden that you’ve met him before? You were not in this country back then. How was it possible that you’ve met him before?”

“It was ten years ago.”

Wilson did not have the intention to hide the truth from her.

Serene tried to recall what happened ten years ago and subconsciously covered her mouth in surprise. Her eyes widened. “You… could it be that you’ve been secretly watching me all along?”

Wilson stopped his footsteps abruptly, fixated his gaze on her and said, “Though I’ve never participated in your past, I wanted to know and understand more about you. Not only I wanted to be involved in your past and future, but I also wanted to spend my life with you.”

Serene was touched upon hearing his words. However… she could not comprehend the reason why he would take a liking to the Serene ten years ago.

“... But I didn’t look pretty at that time. I was short and skinny and my body wasn’t fully developed yet. Why did you like me ten years ago?”

Wilson answered in a half-jokingly manner, “I like green apples.”

Serene was at a loss for words.

When Serene came back to her senses, she exclaimed, “What a pervert! I’m not a green apple. You are!”

Wilson hugged her abruptly to stop her from messing around. With his warm breath blowing into her ears, he whispered in a deep, raspy voice, “Ten years. The long wait didn’t go to waste. My green apple has finally grown up and become mature.”

Although Wilson sounded serious as he spoke, Serene misunderstood and said, “Wilson, why are you such a pervert!”

Wilson was unperturbed. He held her hands and continued walking back home. “Come. Let’s go home and get a good rest.”

Serene was speechless.

After spending a few days in Clear River Town, they had to return to North City. Serene’s mother prepared a lot of delicacies and stuffed them all into Wilson’s car.

Before they left, Serene’s mother purposely spared some time to brief her about matters that she had to take note of as she was currently pregnant.

When they returned to North City, Serene took a few days off work. Hence, Wilson made use of those days to bring her to a haute couture wedding gown shop to try on some wedding gowns.

“The first time I entered a bridal shop was when I accompanied Verian to try on wedding dresses.”

Wilson smiled faintly. “What’s so interesting about accompanying someone in trying on wedding gowns? You should try on some gowns instead.”

The shop manager approached them and put on a polite smile on her face. “Mr. Jarret, the wedding dress you requested just arrived today. Do you want Mrs. Jarret to try it on now?”

‘Mrs. Jarret…’

Serene blushed upon hearing how the manager addressed her.

Wilson nodded and said, “Yes.”

As the staff took out the wedding gown, Serene’s eyes gleamed in amazement. The wedding dress was extremely beautiful but from a glance, it looked expensive.

Serene inched closer to Wilson and muttered, “Is this wedding dress exceptionally expensive? It probably costs around five figures, right?”

The staff and the manager who was standing near Serene naturally heard what she said. Thus, the manager answered Serene with a smile, “Mrs. Jarret, in fact, this wedding gown…”

Wilson interrupted the manager abruptly. “This wedding dress doesn’t even cost five figures. It’s only five thousand and it’s worth the price. Go ahead and try it on.”

“Really? Is it possible to have such a high cost-performance ratio?”

Serene walked toward the wedding gown hanging on a garment rack and scrutinized the diamonds embedded on the gown. She then asked Wilson in hesitation, “Wilson, these are real diamonds, right?”

If they were real diamonds, the mere diamond beads would have cost more than five thousand!

The manager felt awkward. She then tried to explain to Serene. “Mrs. Jarret, this is Africa’s…”

Wilson abruptly interrupted the manager again, “Rhinestone.”

Wilson then stood behind Serene and murmured in a soft, gentle voice, “I find that this gown suits you perfectly. Go ahead and try it on. I can afford to get a five-thousand bucks wedding gown, so I wish to see you in a wedding gown. Is that okay?”

Serene felt at ease after hearing Wilson’s reassuring words. Like a cat that ate the canary, she beamed with her squinty eyes. “Okay, I’ll try it on then.”

The staff then pushed the garment rack while guiding Serene into the fitting room. “Mrs. Jarret, this way.”

As Serene entered the dressing area, the manager could not help but remind Wilson. “Mr. Jarret, the piece Mrs. Jarret is trying on is a haute couture wedding gown. The price is five million, and not five thousand.”

Wilson glared at the manager with an aloof gaze and said, “I know.”

“But just now…”

“My wife is a frugal person. She doesn’t like to be extravagant. When I’m paying for it later, do tell her that the gown is only five thousand and there’s a 20% discount on it.”

“... Alright, alright.”

As the staff and manager outside heard Wilson’s yell, they rushed into the fitting room.

“Mr. Jarret, what happened?”

“My wife is missing. Does your shop have surveillance cameras? I want to take a look at the surveillance footage.”

“Mr. Jarret, don’t panic. Mrs. Jarret couldn’t have vanished into the air. We didn’t see her come out of the dressing area. She could’ve went to the washroom. Leah, go and check the washroom.”

“Okay, I’ll head there right away.”

However, the staff who had gone to the washroom did not see any signs of Serene.

On the ground, Wilson spotted a bracelet Serene always wore on her wrist. “All of you don’t have to search for her anymore. My wife must have been kidnapped. I need to look at the surveillance footage.”

Both the manager and staff members were dumbfounded and their faces went pale.

As the manager realized the severity of this incident, she immediately ordered her staff, “Let’s go and take a look at the surveillance footage!”

Together with the staff, Wilson went into the surveillance monitoring room. However, they noticed that the surveillance footage has been hacked.

Without any hesitation, Wilson immediately walked out of the wedding gown shop.

The manager dumbfoundedly stared at Wilson’s leaving figure. Then, they looked at each other, feeling puzzled. “Do we need to report this to the police?”

“A living person just vanished into thin air… Mr. Jarret probably won’t get our shop into trouble, right?”

“Could it be that Mrs. Jarret wanted to extort money from us and that’s why she ran away?”

…

Wilson came out of the wedding gown shop and got into the car. Just as he was about to contact the Light Organization and ask for their help, he received a call from Stephen.

“Aret, you’ve let me down. I’ve kidnapped your girl right under your nose and you didn’t even notice it at all.

Wilson gritted his teeth in anger. “Godfather, you’ve promised me that you’ll not meddle with Serene!”

“I’ve spent years of blood, sweat and tears training you to become the top killer. Soon, you will become my one and only opponent. However, to my surprise, you chose to quit the Light Organization during this time. Therefore, Aret, you left me with no choice to to destroy the one you love for you to grow.”

Wilson felt his chest tighten. His voice was icily cold like the Ashura Hell as he said, “I forbid you to hurt Serene! If you dare to even hurt her a little, I will kill you.”
