Cupid's Arrow hit me hard!

Chapter 58

Zachary might pull a long face, but a rush of blood crept to his ears.He was blushing for getting the wrong idea about Serenity, not because he was shy.

There was no way he could be shy! "It was the question of a man’s pride!"

"Ha!"

Serenity scoffed.

Zachary's handsome face went completely red.

"I don't like or love you, so why would I be jealous? I couldn't care less who you're with if it weren't an affair"

"You don't have to stress that you don't like or love me multiple times as if I’m all over you.

This is only a marriage of convenience.

To be honest, I was in a hurry to move out because I didn’t want my sister and her husband to fight because of me.I agreed to your nana’s proposal to get a marriage license with you so I had a place to stay.

"If you want to talk about an ulterior motive, then it would be your house.I get free accommodation and save on rent while still putting my sister at ease."

Zachary was lost for words.His house was more appealing to her than him as a person.

Zachary had no qualms admitting his non-existent feelings for Serenity.

However, it was a bit much to hear the same thing coming from her mouth.

"I stand by my marriage vows.Wouldn't it be better if I stay in the house and drive the car to look for another man since you're gonna leave them to me six months down the road after the divorce anyway? Why should I subject myself to being accused of infidelity?"

Zachary was speechless.

It took a while before he ate a humble pie and apologized to Serenity.

"I'm sorry, Serenity.I misjudged you." This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Zachary did not have a leg to stand on anyway.

His actions warranted an apology.

"Just come to me if you have a problem next time.Don’t lock me out the door like earlier.I anticipate troubles in your future marriage if you keep up with that.It'd be worse if your wife had the same personality as yours.The relationship will end in silent treatments before breaking down completely."

After a brief silence, Zachary reminded her, "I'm already in a marriage.We don’t share the same personality."

Zachary acted petty tonight, unlike Serenity who had been nothing but thoughtful.

After a brief silence, Serenity replied, "I'm talking about your future marriage.Not me."

It was in Zachary’s plans to divorce six months later.

Still, it was written clearly on the contract that the divorce would only happen if there remained no sparks between them.

Zachary's distrustful and stuck-up nature was not the most attractive trait in Serenity's books.

Even so, she had to admit that she could count on Zachary because he was attentive and considerate in many other ways.

"I don't have feelings for anyone."

"That sounds about right.Maybe you'll meet someone if you could get down from your high horse once in a while and stop thinking that everyone’s out to get you.You struck gold when you married me."

Zachary thought to himself, ‘Struck gold? More like coal.He had never met such a narcissistic woman in his life.

"Alright now.Now that everything's in the clear, you should go to bed."

Although Zachary disliked her tone, he said nothing in the end.

He returned to his room and slammed the door.

Serenity murmured under her breath, "I won't feel bad even if you break the door.This is your house anyway!"
