Chapter 705
On the other end of the line, Clive curtly said, “I’ll reveal to Serenity who you are if I don’t see you there.She might not be angry about the other things you hide from her, but the fact that you’re the great Mr.York will rub her the wrong way because of Elisa.”
Black in the face, Zachary snapped back, “I said I’ll be there. Just wait for me.”
The nerve of Clive to threaten him!
“I’m the older cousin. Shouldn’t you be the one to wait for me?”
Zachary coldly uttered, “The Grand Hotel belongs to you. You can be there any time. If you change thelocation to the Wiltspoon Hotel, I’ll arrive early and welcome you in the presidential suite.”
“Is something riding on your guilty conscience? Are you scared? Is that why you’re making me wait foryou?”novelbin
“Clive, cut the crap.”
Clive chuckled. “I’m older than you. You can’t change the fact that Serenity is my cousin. You don’thave to acknowledge me as the older figure if you don’t want to be Serenity’s husband. It’s rude thatyou don’t respect me as an older family member when you’re her husband.
“I might just pick on you in front of Serenity.”
“Don’t you dare!”
Clive laughed hard. “Why won’t I? Do you think I like and fear you? I’m dying to have you replaced andintroduce a better man to my cousin.”
“Out of everyone in Wiltspoon, no one is better and more brilliant than I am.”
Zachary believed when Clive said he would get him replaced.
Nobody expected to end up in this sort of sticky situation.
“Zachary, when did you become so shameless? You may have Wiltspoon’s business world in the palmof your hand, but that doesn’t mean you’re the best man out there.”
Zachary faintly answered, “Men become shameless when they get married.”
Clive was at a loss for words.
The changes in Zachary were a real eye-opener to Clive.
“I’m hanging up if there’s nothing else. I need to put my wife in bed before I can sneak out to see you.”
It was Clive’s turn to be appalled. “Don’t talk as though we’re having an affair.”
“Yuck. As if I’d ever have an affair with you.”
Zachary hung up the call.
With his enemy slamming the phone ahead of him, Clive removed the phone from his ear and clickedhis tongue. Clive mumbled to himself, “I could say the same about you. As if I’d ever have an affair withyou.”
“Honey, who are you having an affair with? Do you have a mistress? Who’s the miserable wretch?”
Alice heard Clive’s murmurs as she was coming out of the bathroom. Livid, she charged toward Cliveand questioned Clive with a straight face.
She was already unhappy with him.
Clive had time to go to the movies with her for a change to relive their date nights. However, he endedup snoozing off on the chair when they got inside. It riled Alice up.
In the end, they left before the movie finished.
Once out of the movie theater, Clive found his energy back again.
He used to watch even the cringiest romance movies when they first went out. Clive would sit in themovies until the credits rolled and remember the storyline better than she did.
Now that they were married, Clive would doze off the moment he stepped into the theater…
The difference before and after marriage was huge.
Clive did not bother to act interested anymore.
“Alice, what are you thinking? I was just off the phone with Zachary.”
Alice widened her eyes. “You were on the phone with Zachary talking about having ari affair. Youguys…”
Clive responded, “Honey, where is your mind wandering to? We’ve been married for years. You shouldknow by now that your husband is a straight guy.”
“How would I know if you swing both ways?”
Clive was speechless.
