Serenity struggled and finally managed to push him away, but he wanted to continue. She was so angry that she swung her hand at him.
The slap resounded across the room and shocked Brandt and the maids.
Zachary was also stunned.
He looked at Serenity’s face, which was red from the anger within. When she glared at him, her eyes gradually reddened, and he saw tears brimming at the corners of her eyes.
He had again brought her more pain and further angered her.
Zachary blamed himself.
He thought his warmth could make her calm down...
Brandt snapped back to his senses and hurriedly sent a message to Sam since the latter was the actual butler here. Brandt was only filling in for Sam since Sam was on leave, but he felt he could no longer handle the situation here. He had to call Sam back.
It was frightening. The missus actually raised her hand against Mr. Zachary.
This was a scene they had never witnessed in all the years they had worked for the Yorks.
The men of the York family had always doted on their wives. As long as they were married and the couple’s feelings were stable, they would get along lovingly. Occasionally, there would be small quarrels or misunderstandings, but they were all resolved quickly. No one had ever gotten physical like the missus.
“Seren.”
Zachary pulled up the hand Serenity used to hit his face with and asked gently, “Does your hand hurt?”
Serenity wrenched her hand back and turned her face away, but she raised her hand to rub her eyes. She then turned around and looked at him again, saying, “I’m sorry, Zachary, but please leave me some dignity, okay?”
She did not like it when he forced a kiss on her whenever she was angry; as if showing no ounce of respect for her.
Zachary looked at her deeply.
He lost it. When he saw the divorce agreement she drafted, he momentarily exploded in rage.
Yes, he was wrong for lying to her, but she went as far as to draft a divorce agreement. He only grew impulsive because she was not giving him any leeway.
