You\u2019re always self-centered and domineering. You\u2019re overbearing, arrogant, egotistical, and even paranoid!\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity\u2019s words dripped with mockery.<\/div>\n<div>That was Zachary\u2019s nature.<\/div>\n<div>He had acted the same way at the start of their marriage. Even when he tried to appear ordinary, his ingrained mannerisms remained unchanged.<\/div>\n<div>It was only after their feelings grew warmer and they faced a couple of conflicts that his overbearing behavior improved slightly.<\/div>\n<div>Now, however, he was revealing his true colors once more.<\/div>\n<div>Being with a Zachary York like this was suffocating.<\/div>\n<div>This was especially true for Serenity, a woman who valued her independence. If she clashed with someone like Zachary, the argument would escalate and worsen.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary clearly wanted to calm Serenity down, but he kept making mistakes that only fueled her anger, making it impossible to extinguish her fury.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cSeren\u2026\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary released her and gently touched her face, speaking as if in pain, \u201cPlease don\u2019t go to Shawn. I put a lot of effort into driving him out of Wiltspoon to ensure he wouldn\u2019t see you again. Don\u2019t go to him.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou drove Shawn out of Wiltspoon? Did you talk to Aunt Rachel?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>After questioning him, she added wryly, \u201cWhat is there to be surprised about? I don\u2019t even know how many things you\u2019ve done behind my back. Heh. Zachary, do you even consider me family?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThen again, I\u2019m not your family. Women are still outsiders, even after marrying into another family. We\u2019re merely guests. With what audacity could I expect you to treat me like family\u2026 You\u2019ve kept so many things from me and lied to me for so long. You just treat me like an\u2026<\/div>\n<p>\u201cOutsider\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity\u2019s eyes filled with tears of injustice as she spoke, but she willed herself not to cry. <\/p>\n<p>**Chapter HT**<br \/>\n**2\/3**  <\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t want to cry in front of Zachary. She didn\u2019t want to be comforted by a hypocrite like him. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeren, you\u2019re my family. You\u2019re the wife I want to spend my life with. I know I let you down. I hurt you and destroyed your trust in me, but I promise\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity shot him a cold look. The chill and clear disdain in her eyes silenced Zachary before he could finish his sentence. <\/p>\n<p>His promise meant nothing to her anymore. <\/p>\n<p>Zachary lowered his head, kissed her face and lips, and said, \u201cSeren, the men of the York family never get divorced. I\u2019ll never divorce you!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity pushed him away and attempted to get out of bed. <\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t want a divorce, but she did. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, she wouldn\u2019t say it aloud now, fearing that jerk might knock her out again. <\/p>\n<p>She was furious! <\/p>\n<p>Her neck throbbed with pain! <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere are you going, Seren? You can\u2019t leave!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary pulled her back in alarm and jumped out of bed, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, Seren. I prepared these money flowers for you as a Valentine\u2019s Day gift. I also got you thirty sets of jewelry, so you can wear a different one every day of the month. Plus, there are bags, skincare products, and cosmetics. Don\u2019t use the skincare products Elisa gives you anymore; your husband can provide for you.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He forcibly guided Serenity to the vanity, picked up two sets of keys from the table, and thrust them into her hands, saying, \u201cHere are the keys to the villa and car I bought for you.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you like the gifts I got for you, Seren? It\u2019s my first Valentine\u2019s Day, so I followed the usual customs since I have no experience. Let me know if you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t like them, but I will get you anything you want, as long as I can obtain it.\u201d He hesitated to promise things he couldn\u2019t deliver. What if she asked for the stars? <\/p>\n<p>Serenity took the two bunches of keys and slapped the back of his hand. When he loosened his grip slightly, she stepped hard on his foot, causing him to jump back instinctively and release her. <\/p>\n<p>She tossed the two keyrings at his chest and said coldly, \u201cThank you for your generosity, Mr. York, but I can\u2019t accept it!\u201d Then, she turned to walk away. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeren!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cZachary York.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>As Zachary was about to catch up, Serenity halted, turned around, and coldly warned him, \u201cIf you dare sneak up behind me and knock me out again, I will cut ties with you immediately!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary was too frightened to sneak up on her again. He couldn\u2019t bear the thought of knocking her out again, feeling distressed at the idea that her neck would be hurt. <\/p>\n<p>Chapter BOR<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 817 \u201cThis is your true self.
