Chapter 877
“Why are you here, Zachary?” asked Elisa, baffled.
There was no reason for a man of Zachary’s status to be here. However, it was Zachary in the flesh.
Unable to believe her eyes, Elisa blinked a few times before taking a closer look at the man. Sureenough, it was the Zachary she knew.
Elisa’s eyes widened in shock when she saw the bouquet between Zachary and Serenity. Zachary waseven holding Serenity’s hand.
The only logical explanation that came to mind was that the man simply resembled Zachary, but hewas not Zachary.
How could Zachary, an aloof man who never went anywhere without his security detail to keep youngwomen away, possibly hold another woman’s…
Ah, before she forgot, Zachary had a wife now, and his wife had his heart. It was rumored that hespoiled his wife crazy. Although Elisa had never seen his wife, she believed Zachary was the type togive his wife all the love in the world.novelbin
For Zachary, it was forever once he fell in love. That was why Elisa did not find it strange that Zacharybecame an uxorious husband.
It was a shame that she was not the woman for Zachary.
It dawned on Elisa that Serenity’s husband had the last name, York. Could Serenity’s husband beZachary?
Once the thought registered in her head, the shopping bags slipped out of Elisa’s hands without hernoticing.
As a multitude of complex emotions fleeted across her face, Elisa locked her gaze on the couple.
Withdrawing her hand from Zachary’s grasp, Serenity got up and walked away from the cash register,but before she could do anything, Elisa took strides ahead and stood beside Zachary. She grabbedZachary by the arm and gave him a pull so that they came face–to–face.
Zachary shook her hand away and dusted off Elisa’s invisible contact on his clothes. He curtly uttered,“What do you want, Elisa? Stay away from me!”
Black in the face, Elisa coldly scoffed. “You’re one to ask, Zachary. I should be asking you that. Whatare you doing here?”
She was fuming more than Zachary.
Serenity jumped in to explain, “We didn’t mean to keep the truth from you, Elisa. I only found out aboutwho he is.”
Had Serenity known that Zachary was the heir Elisa had been in love with for years and initiated anovert courtship, Serenity would have never married Zachary.
“I know,” Elisa answered.
Elisa turned her attention to Serenity and added, “You wouldn’t have given me ideas to go after him ifyou knew your husband was Mr. York. No wife would help her love rival chase her husband.”
Serenity was not the type to fight over a man with another woman.
Elisa knew Serenity well. Serenity adopted a realistic mindset toward love, probably because she waspast the age of believing in fairytales.
Serenity began to develop feelings for her husband after the marriage. Their relationship grew steadyafter the couple spent time together. It took time to know
about one another and get used to each other’s presence after all.
Elisa criticized Zachary, “I can’t believe you lied to Seren for a long time, Zachary. No wonder I neversaw you around when I came over. It explains why you couldn’t visit my family house with Seren. Youhave never been honest with Seren! Here I was, wondering how you were always one step ahead ofme when I took Seren’s advice to go after you. You had already known about the plan.
“You knew Seren and I are best friends. I bet you got the kick out of making me and Seren fools whenshe gave me ideas to chase you. You could’ve said something. Even if I was dying to have your love, Iwould’ve stopped harassing you.
“You kept your marriage with Seren a secret while playing it cool and enjoying the courtship. Sure, younever responded to my feelings. You didn’t even let me into your office building. It was all one–sided.You were unmarried, and I was single. Even if my love was unrequited, I didn’t feel embarrassed.
“Everybody has the right to go after their happiness, but you made me the other woman in my cousin’smarriage. It’s not like you’re the only one for me.”
