Your husband is petty-minded and can\u2019t tolerate seeing you with another man. I\u2019d feel jealous, even though he\u2019s the one pursuing you.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary had experienced jealousy in the past but had never admitted it at the time.<\/div>\n<div>If he truly didn\u2019t care, it wouldn\u2019t have mattered to Zachary who Serenity was with.<\/div>\n<div>However, now that he had feelings for Serenity, Zachary was losing control and was ready to confront his rival.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI\u2019ll chase him away if he shows up, but I can\u2019t physically stop him from coming.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary adopted a serious expression and stated, \u201cI\u2019ll ensure he doesn\u2019t come around.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhat do you plan to do? Don\u2019t do anything reckless.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary pinched her cheek and reassured her, \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I won\u2019t do anything foolish now that I have you.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>He envisioned spending the rest of his life with her.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary had devised plans to sever ties with the Lowes and even siphon off some projects that were under negotiation. The Lowes would soon realize that the Yorks were intensifying their pressure. Zachary anticipated Mr. Lowe would come to him seeking an explanation for his actions.<\/div>\n<div>While Serenity couldn\u2019t stop Shawn, who was to say his parents couldn\u2019t intervene?<\/div>\n<div>\u201cPlease don\u2019t be too hard on him for Jasmine\u2019s sake.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>With Jasmine\u2019s name brought into the conversation, Zachary subtly inquired, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t Ms. Sox stop Shawn?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Was Jasmine siding with her cousin in this matter?<\/div>\n<div>\u201cJas has a fever and is at the hospital. She wasn\u2019t at the shop.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Then it dawned on Serenity, and she said with amusement, \u201cDon\u2019t tell me you were suspecting\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJas, did you help Shawn to bother me? She\u2019s not that kind of person. More than anyone, she hopes Shawn can move on.\u201d Jasmine, as Serenity\u2019s best friend, understood her deeply. She was aware that Serenity did not have romantic feelings for Shawn, and nothing he did would change that. Shawn\u2019s fixation on Serenity would only lead to his own heartbreak. As Shawn\u2019s cousin, Jasmine felt pity for him and tried to encourage him to let go of his feelings. He would only be able to reclaim his life once he released his obsession with Serenity. That was why anyone but Jasmine would take Shawn\u2019s side. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cUh\u2026 I was mistaken about Ms. Sox. So, she\u2019s not well.\u201d Zachary needed to inform Josh later so Josh would have a reason to reach out to Jasmine. \u201cYeah, she has a high fever. It might be due to the sudden change in weather. She chose fashion over comfort and ended up catching a cold.\u201d Serenity had always seen her best friend wearing dresses in winter. Even though the dresses were made of warmer fabrics, Serenity believed that traditional winter clothing was more suitable for the season. She often teased her best friend for prioritizing style over comfort. The girls had different tastes in winter attire; Serenity wished she could wear a duvet outside when it was cold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGive me your phone, Zachary.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter?\u201d Zachary asked as Serenity extended her hand, demanding his phone.<\/p>\n<div>\u201cI want to check if I\u2019m still on your contact list. Did you delete my number? Given your history, I need to look at your phone. If you erase my contact again, don\u2019t bother re-adding it.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>She had quite the temper.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary handed his phone to her without hesitation. After unlocking it, he tapped on the message icon for her convenience. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to delete a number, but adding it back is a challenge. I learned that the hard way, and I won\u2019t make the same mistake again.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>When Serenity had added her number back last time, she warned him that they would be done if they ever deleted each other\u2019s numbers again.<\/div>\n<div>Seeing her number still on his contact list eased Serenity\u2019s mind.<\/div>\n<div>However, she was frustrated that he hadn\u2019t responded to any of her texts, despite her repeatedly messaging him.<\/div>\n<div>Shoving his phone back into his hand, she opened the door and said, \u201cAlright, I\u2019ve cleared the air, so you should head back to work. I need to return to the shop; Elisa brought her mother there, and I asked her to keep an eye on it for me.\u201d Zachary stared at her and asked, \u201cAre you angry, Seren?\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"text-chapter-toolbar\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\"><i class=\"icon ion-md-settings\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 500 \u201cEven though you can kickbox, it\u2019s best to keep your distance from him.
