Chapter 847
Zachary’s eyes flashed with hurt, but he did not react as fiercely as he did yesterday.
He said gently, “Seren, do you really want to keep those little animals? If you do, I’ll tell Brandt to lead the way. Ms. Sox and you can go see our family orchard. If you think it’s suitable to rear chickens there, you can keep them there. You can take care of them yourself if you want or let the workers do it.”
Serenity frowned. “I didn’t see an orchard at your house when you brought me over during the holidays.”
“The hills planted with fruit trees next to Wildridge Manor is the orchard. It’s the York. family’s ancestral manor.”
Serenity was not surprised that her in–laws had a manor.
They were rich.
They were involved in all sorts of industries as long as there was money to be earned.
“Are you willing to let me out of this villa?”
Serenity captured the key points of Zachary’s remarks.
Zachary looked at her, and she met his gaze. When the couple looked at each other, Serenity finally saw the fatigue his face bore. When she was upset, he was not happy either.
“Seren, I’ve apologized countless times, but I still want to say that I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lied to you for so long. I caused you to lose your trust in me, so I won’t beg you to forgive me immediately and pretend as if nothing happened.
“I just hope you can give me a chance to regain your trust. Don’t simply mention divorce again, okay? It really hurts me.”
Unless a couple really wanted to divorce, mentioning it in the heat of the moment during a quarrel was easy to break the other party’s heart.
Serenity was silent for a moment before softening her tone. “My heart is in a mess right now, and I might regret things I do or say later… Zachary, I don’t want to talk to you right now. I just hope you can let me leave this place and let me go back for a breather.
“I also need to think about how our marriage will go in the future. I need to face the reality of us both. You don’t have to worry about me going far away after walking out the door. Where would I go? All my loved ones are here.
“Besides, I won’t run away. Running doesn’t solve the problem.”
Zachary nodded with a heavy heart. “You can go back with Ms. Sox. L… I also need to be alone for a while.”
Serenity looked at him for a moment before standing up. Her tone was much gentler than before. “Let’s both calm down and cool off. I’ll leave now,” she said in a slight hurry as if afraid that Zachary would change his mind.
