‘How did Serenity conquer such a cold, arrogant man?’ Chelsea criticized inwardly.
She would not be able to bear spending time with a man like that. He was too cold!
She did not dare look at Zachary anymore. Instead, she smiled and said to Serenity, “Serenity, can I have a few words with you in private?”
Serenity asked Chelsea, “What is it that you can’t say right now?”
Chelsea took a quick glance at Zachary, then Serenity. Indeed, Serenity was more pleasing to the eye.
Chelsea used to treat Serenity meanly and instigate her brother to quarrel with Liberty. It was an indirect way of forcing Serenity to move out. Firstly, it was because she wanted to make space for her children. She had planned to send her children to the middle school in the city.
Secondly, Chelsea was jealous of Serenity’s youth and beauty. Liberty was beautiful before she married too. However, she did not bother maintaining it and bloated up like a ball. Her beauty before her marriage was gone. Serenity was different. She adhered to exercising every day and had always maintained a model-like figure.
It was known that opposites attract while likes repel.
Chelsea grew to be jealous of Serenity.
However, her mindset changed as she only felt gratitude toward Serenity. She felt no jealousy when looking at Serenity’s pretty features. Instead, she found it pleasing and thought Serenity was beautiful and kind. A girl like that deserved to be favored by the heavens, get married to an outstanding man like Zachary, and enjoy glory and wealth.
“Serenity, I think we should still talk in private.”
Serenity glanced at her husband. She knew Chelsea was afraid of Zachary. She said to him, “Babe, wait for me in the car.”
Zachary said firmly, “I’ll wait for you here. You can just talk to each other there. I can see you, but I won’t be able to hear your conversation.”
He pointed to the end of the corridor and asked Serenity and Chelsea to talk over there. He would be able to see them from the ward’s door, but he could not listen to the contents of their conversation.
