Zachary terminated the call right away.
Despite being hung up on, Clive was not angry at all.
He smirked coldly. “You can refuse to acknowledge me as your cousin, Zachary, but I’ll get my way oneway or another.”
Alice was pouring him a glass of water when she heard his comment. She said, “You’re now family.What do you mean get your way? Whatever reason he keeps his identity a secret, Zachary isSerenity’s husband.”
I’ve been his rival for many years, and none of us ever get the upper hand. Now that I have the chanceto climb over his head, I got to make use of the opportunity.”
Clive grabbed the glass and took a couple of gulps. “Zachary wound me up badly. I must get mypayback when he returns from his business trip. I’ll contact Serenity to come along when he buys medinner. I bet he’ll have to call me his cousin then.
“Honey, I’m walking on air just thinking about my nemesis bowing to me because I’m the older cousin.”
“I think you’ve gone mad.”
Alice replied amusedly. “He’s your peer. Are you going to force him to acknowledge you if he doesn’twant. to?”novelbin
I’ll give him a hard time and call him rude in front of Serenity if he doesn’t acknowledge me as the oldercousin.”
Alice was speechless.
She could imagine her man having a discreet showdown with Zachary
Zachary was a little worried at first now that Clive saw through his cover. After hanging Zachary felldeep into contemplation and soon felt at rest.
Clive was furious because he felt sorry for his sister and not Serenity. on Clive’s call,
Before Elisa could let go of her feelings for Zachary, Zachary did not have to worry about Clive tellingSerenity the truth about him.
Not only that, but Clive would also figure out ways to keep Zachary’s identity under wraps.
Zachary could flaunt his affection for Serenity before Clive too.
Once he was back from the business trip, Zachary would be on his best behavior during the dinner withClive in case the latter might try to start something and make him look bad in front of Serenity becausehe was Serenity’s cousin.
As for admitting Clive to be the older cousin…
It was not like Clive would bite him if Zachary refused to acknowledge him.
Uff! Zachary felt like he was between a rock and a hard place.
Rubbing his temples, Zachary was at his physical limit and called someone to make a quick trip to thepharmacy for him.
Back at the study on the second floor of the Buchams‘ residence, the head of the household was busyat work.
Josh’s torso was against the desk as he leaned in to read the text messages sent in the group chat. Itwas an arrangement to protect Zachary’s privacy. The head of the family was informing everybodywhat. information about Zachary could and could not be released.
All credit should go to the head of the Bucham household that Zachary’s privacy was protected fromeverybody including the press.
“Julian.”
“Speak.”
“You’re amazing. I think the public must be curious about you.”
The head of the household lifted his head and glanced at Josh before uttering, “Didn’t Zachary arrangea blind date for you? You could’ve used your weekend to woo your wifey instead of watching me workhere. I asked you to help me, but you said you prefer to slave away at York Corporation.”
Josh replied, “I invited my future brother–in–law to dinner tonight.”
Julian rolled his eyes. “You should be taking Ms. Sox out to dinner if you want to win her heart, not herbrother. Look at you. When are you going to say goodbye to singlehood?”
“I’ll win her heart through my brother–in–law.”
“That’s a silly move. You should start with your mother–in–law, no, future father–in–law. It’s easy withyour mother–in–law. Mothers–in–law tend to warm up to sons–in–law rather quickly.”
Pursing his lips, Josh answered with a smile, “I’ll build a relationship with all of them. Jasmine will haveno choice but to fall into my arms when the whole family pressures her.”
“Knock, knock.”
Someone was at the door.
