Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499

“You‘re a b*stard! You won‘t even give me a chance to explain. What you see isn’t always the truth.”

Serenity let go of Zachary and angrily pinched him on the arm.

He scared her.

She thought they were entering another phase of silent treatment.

Zachary quietly took her pinching. It hurt like hell, but he did not care.

All was good knowing that she cared about him.

“Shawn confessed his feelings to me, but I rejected him. I‘m your wife. I won‘t leave you unless you decide you don‘t want me anymore.”

“Really?”

The concealment of his identity came to mind.

Would she stay by his side when she was to find out that he had been lying to her for so long?

“Don‘t you believe me?”

Letting out a sigh, Zachary pulled her into his arms. “Serenity, I was really angry when I saw you with Shawn. My instinct told me to leave. I know that you were not to blame. Shawn was all over you.

“The truth is… I‘m jealous.

“I‘m green with envy. I‘m jealous at the thought Shawn loves you and that he has had the pleasure of knowing you for more than a decade.”

Zachary had not known Serenity for long.

His relationship with her could not beat her decade–long relationship with Shawn.

Shawn got to know her and fell in love with her sooner than Zachary could.

Zachary fell far behind Shawn in every single way.

“Shawn and L. I told you before that he‘s a younger brother to me. I don‘t like him that way. We wouldn‘t have gotten married if I had romantic feelings for him. I would‘ve gone for Shawn to give my sister peace of mind.”

Serenity uttered softly, “Trust me, Zachary. I won‘t do anything to betray you while we‘re still lawfully married.”

“I trust you.”

Zachary did not take his hands away from her as they walked to her car. He pulled open the door. “Get inside. It‘s chilly outside.”

It was snowy in Meadspring while the temperature had only begun to drop in Wiltspoon.

After Serenity was stuffed into the backseat, Zachary followed suit.

With the door closed, Zachary pinned her down to the seat and towered over her to lock

tongues.

It took several kisses to diminish most of Zachary‘s jealousy.

“Don‘t meet with Shawn ever again,” Zachary demanded.

“I know you don‘t love him, but it doesn‘t change the fact that he‘s in love with you. God knows what he‘ll do to you since he can‘t have you.” “I‘ll beat him up if he gets handsy.”
