“To buy cows and pigs, you need to go all the way to the countryside, right? That’s too far. You don’t need to. I want big-sized chickens and ducks. Buy more roosters that can already crow. With the roosters crowing at dawn every day, I’m sure it’ll annoy him.”
Jasmine replied, “Alright. Leave it to me. I’ll handle it well.”
It was not known whether Zachary would compromise after Serenity turned his villa into a zoo.
“But Seren, will Mr. Zachary, I mean, the liar compromise? What’s more, he must have other villas too. Will he bring you to another villa?”
Serenity paused for a moment before she responded, “I have no idea how he’ll react either. Anyhow, since he’s making things difficult for me, I’ll cause him trouble as well.”
“It appears that the two of you are now enemies.”
Glum, Serenity did not say anything.
“I’ve told Josh to advise Mr. Zachary, yet Josh told me to advise you. He said Mr. Zachary had his reasons for deceiving you. Given that he’s the eldest grandson of the wealthy Yorks, he’s worried that people eye his money. That’s why he concealed his identity to assess your character.”
Jasmine continued, “I rejected him. Considering that he’s Mr. Zachary’s best friend, he’ll certainly take his side and speak up for him. I’m your best friend, so I must side with you. Seren, I’m with you regardless of your decision.”
Serenity kept quiet for a moment before she said, “It’s understandable that he concealed his identity at first, but our relationship as a married couple developed later on. We’re married, yet he continued to lie to me. This was what made my blood boil. I even doubt his feelings for me. Who knows if he’s actually in love with me?
“None of his words have been sincere. He’s always lying. Besides, regarding his situation with Elisa, how will Elisa perceive me after she finds out that I’m married to Zachary?”
Jasmine said, “This isn’t your fault. You didn’t know his identity either. Elisa had always called him Mr. York, but she had never mentioned ‘Zachary’ York. Who knew the Mr. York she was infatuated with would be the same one you married?”
She sighed. “When Elisa returns and finds out everything… I can’t imagine her reaction. Seren, luckily you and Elisa are now cousins. With this relationship, it might be a little better.”
What Serenity wanted to say was that it was possible for biological brothers to fall out with each other, much less cousins.
