Cupid's Arrow Hit On Me novel (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 813

“I didn’t even know you were from a rich family! What would I want from you? When we fought for the first time, I already told you that I have motives. I saw you had a house for me to live in, so I didn’t have to rent a house. I saw you were mature and steady with a stable job, so my sister would be satisfied and assured.”

Zachary said bitterly, “Seren, I know you married me to reassure your sister, not because you wanted my money or me. It was a misunderstanding on my part. I was wrong.

“I’m sorry, Seren. You can beat me or scold me if you want. Since I’ve done something wrong, I should be punished. You can punish me however you want.”

He would not deny the accusations.

Serenity glared at him.

“At first, I hid my identity to test your character. Nana insisted that I marry you, but I wanted to know if you were a person worth spending the rest of my life with. That’s why I hid my identity and lived with you like an ordinary person.

“As time passed, I’ve come to realize that you were a good person, and I slowly fell in love with you.”

Zachary wanted to take Serenity’s hand, but she slapped it away fiercely.

“I’m sorry, Seren.”

Serenity looked at him.

After a long time, she asked, “You wanted to test me at first, but what about after? You lied to me for more than four months. Four months! Have you determined that my character is good just now?”

“I didn’t dare tell you later because I was afraid you’d leave me after learning the truth. I was scared. I didn’t want to lose you.”

Zachary reached for her hand again, but like earlier, she slapped it away. However, this time, he grabbed her hand forcefully, pulled it up to his lips, and kissed it gently.

His dark eyes looked at her with tenderness and guilt within.

“Seren, I was terrified. In my entire life, I’ve never been so afraid as I was after falling in love with you. I’m afraid of losing you. I’m afraid you’ll cut ties with me.”

Serenity wrenched her hand back. “You’re afraid? You don’t seem afraid at all. All I know is that you’ve been lying to me. It’s no wonder I had that nightmare. It was God giving me a sign.

“But I still continued to believe you stupidly. I believed in whatever you said. I was so dumb. I was a fool to be led by the nose and cheated by you until now.”
