Chapter 903
After Zachary swept away all the bottles and glasses, he slumped down on the table and mumbled, “Serenity, Serenity… It’s not like it has to be you…”
Josh and Duncan did not hear what he said clearly at first.
He murmured repeatedly, and it was only when Josh leaned into his mouth did he hear Zachary say, “It’s not like it has to be you, Serenity.”
“What is he saying?” Duncan asked curiously when he saw Josh’s odd look.
Josh stood up straight, looked at the drunken Zachary, and said to Duncan, “Since his sudden marriage, he has gotten drunk several times because of Serenity.”
In the beginning, when Zachary and Serenity signed the agreement, Zachary was depressed at Serenity’s indifferent attitude. Back then, he also asked his two friends out for a drink and got drunk, and it was Jim who sent him home. That was also the first time Jim appeared in front of Serenity as a substitute driver.
“He said ‘it doesn’t have to be Serenity‘. Hah!”
Josh laughed at his drunk friend. “Why don’t you say that to Serenity’s face? What’s the point of saying that to us here? I dare you to go to Serenity and say that you don’t need her.”
Zachary suddenly stood up, grabbed Josh’s shoulders, and shook him fiercely while. yelling, “What else do you want from me, Serenity? I was wrong, so I apologized to you. I also let you go back to your sister.
“What else do you want? I’m telling you, as long as I’m willing, there’s a whole line of women out there who want to marry me! You’re not my only choice!”
Josh was dizzy from being shaken. When he heard Zachary spewing nonsense. he could not help but say, “You’re right. You can divorce her and go marry someone else then.”
“In your dreams! I’ll never divorce! You’re mine! You’ll be mine for the rest of your life, and I’m yours! I just want you… I only want you. I won’t let go of you. I won’t sign a contract. Don’t mention the contract to me again… I already burned it and flushed it down the drain. You can only be my wife…”
After viciously shaking Josh, Zachary fell back to the couch like a deflated ball. He slumped against the couch and closed his eyes, but he continued to mutter, Serenity… Serenity… I’ll support you. I can afford to support you….
“Don’t leave me… I need you… Mine. You’re mine…”
