Chapter 128 – The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel

Filed to story: The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel

They were just husband and wife in name and had signed an agreement that they would not interfere with each other’s private affairs.

Serenity needed to find her next husband before their divorce.

As long as she and Shawn did not move in together while she was married to Zachary and did not cheat on him,Zachary would turn a blind eye to it.

Zachary quietly persuaded himself.

However, images of Serenity and Shawn chatting and laughing kept appearing in his mind.

Duncan and Josh knew that Zachary could not stand being nagged by his grandmother and finally married the woman who saved his grandmother.

Hearing Zachary say that he was hungry, Josh teased, “Aren’t you a married man? How can you get hungry? Didn’t your wife prepare a good breakfast foryou?” When Josh met Zachary in the office and offered to buy breakfast for Zachary, Zachary always showed off to Josh, saying that he was a married man.

Josh even reached out to tug at Zachary’s sleeve, “You’re a married man, so you should wearthe clothes your wife bought for you.” Zachary looked indifferent.

He raised his hand to slap Josh’s hand away and said coldly, “She and I are just husband and wife in name.

We’ll occasionally put on an act in front of Nana.” Serenity was busy talking and laughing with Shawn and serving him food.

She did not have time to make breakfast for Zachary and only bought a cheap breakfastburrito for him.

Zachary did not like breakfast burritos to begin with.

However, he considered that she bought it for him, so she would feel like her money had gone to waste if he threw it away.

Thus, he

forced himself to eat it.

Moreover, Serenity only bought him a suit jacket and a few ties last time.

She did not buy him any casualwear.

He could not possibly wear a suit at home on weekends, right? Oh, right.

Serenity only gifted him the suit jacket as a token of appreciation for helping her deal with the trending story onTwitter.

She was grateful to him, so the suit was just compensation!

“Tsk! Your act was sogood that I almost believed you two were a model couple.

I was even contemplating whether to get married at first sight!” Josh laughed and said, “Duncan, you don’t know how often Zack shows off his marriage at theoffice.

I thought being single was great, but seeing him constantly flaunting his happy married life, I almost went to gethitched myself!” Duncan smiled and said, “Then you’d better hurry up.

With your conditions, many women would throw themselves at you as soon as you put out the word thatyou’re looking for a wife.” Duncan was different.

He had a good family background as the fourth son of the Lewis family.

However, he had a frightening scar on his face.

He did not have a girlfriend because he had not met someone to his liking and women disliked his scarred face.

Duncan was a tall and big man.

With a scar on his face, most people thought that he looked too fierce.

However, he did not care.

He decided to go with the flow when it came to love and marriage.

Unlike his good friend, Duncan did not want to be forced by his grandmother to marrya woman he had no feelings for.

Duncan would not be happy even if it was just a nominal marriage that was kept hidden. Zachary listened to his two friends joking around and keptsilent while continuing to eat his meal.

Soon, he was full.

“I’m going to my nana’s cafe.

You two can take your time eating here.” Zachary put down his cutlery and wiped the oil stains around his mouth with a tissue beforegetting up to leave.

“We’re done eating.

Well go with you!” Duncan and Josh also put down their cutlery and went to Beans and Cream next door withZachary.

The bodyguards had gotten their fill too.

Seeing that their boss was leaving, they silently got up and walked out quietly to protect their boss.

They were afraid of disturbing the boss’s wife.

Serenity was eating with Shawn, who had seen Zachary before, so the bodyguards could not alert Serenity.

Otherwise, Zachary’s identity would be compromised.

Duncan went to pay the bill.

Josh waited for Duncan to settle the bill and walked out with him.

He whispered, “Duncan, don’t you think Zachary is acting weird today? Well, when he came in, he wasstill normal.

He didn’t look so cold.” Everyone knew how calm and grim Zachary was, but Zachary would not be so aloof when he was with his friends in private.

“I think his mood changed after he returned from the bathroom.” Josh suddenly stopped in his tracksand turned to go back.

He said, “I’ll go check out what he encountered in the bathroom.” Duncan grabbed and dragged him out before saying funnily.

“Even if he did see something.

it’s already been so long! I doubt it’ll still be there.

Zachary has always been like this.

You’re overthinking it.” Duncan did not think that anyone or anything could affect Zachary’s mood change in an instant.

Zachary was calm in nature and held the same expression even when the sky was falling.

“I didn’t overthink it.

He must’ve seen something that made him so bitter.” Josh was really curious about what Zachary saw inthe bathroom.

He whispered again,” Duncan, do you think he might’ve bumped into a couple having sex in the bathroom and thought it wasdisgusting? That’s why he was in such a bad mood?” Duncan was speechless.

However, Shawn was nowhere to be seen.

Although his love rival was gone, Zachary still looked glum and stiff.

After hearing his friend’s question, he said in a low voice, “She doesn’t know you two.”

Duncan and Josh were speechless.

That was true.

Serenity did not know who they were and would not recognize them, so there was no need for them to avoid her.

Seeing Zachary sitting still, Josh teased, “You’re not going to say hello to her?”

Zachary said indifferently, “She has her circle of friends, and I’m not close with her friends, so there’s no need to say hello.” Josh shrugged his shoulders.

After all, Serenity was not his wife.

If Zachary was not bothered to say hello, Josh and Duncan would not go over either.

The seats Serenity and Jasmine picked were a little far from where Zachary was seated.

Serenity sat with her back facing him, so she did not notice that he was there.

However, he could easily see her every move.

Zachary, who was still angry, was indifferent to his wife coming to the cafe.

He did not greet her, nor did he spare another glance at her, as if she was a total stranger.

Serenity did not know that Zachary was having lunch at Grace’s Diner with his friends, Serenity, Jasmine, and Shawn chatted while they ate and spent quite some time there. Shawn received a call and had to excuse himself by leaving early, so Serenity said, “Jas and I are done eating.

l’ll get the bill soon.

Shawn, you can go ahead and deal with whatever you need to.

Jas and I will go to the cafe next door.” Serenity fell in love with Beans and Cream’s tranquility the last time sheaccompanied Jasmine on a blind date there.

This street was busy, so surrounding businesses were booming.

The owner of the case was willing to spend money on sound insulation, so when customers walked into the case, the noise outsidewould be filtered out.

Shawn thought that his cousin drove, so she could take Serenity home later.

He said, “Jas, Serenity, I’ll get going then.” “Go ahead! Drive carefully on the road,” Jasmine urged her cousin.

“Jas, please send Serenity home later.” Serenity had a car, but she seldom used it because gas was getting more expensive.

A full tank would cost her hundreds of dollars.

Serenity would not use the car unless necessary.

Managing a home required careful planning.

Although Zachary gave her a considerable sum for household expenses, Serenity could not squander it.

Jasmine said with a smile, “Yeah, I’ll send Serenity home even if you don’t remind me.

Hurry up and go do your work.

It’s so sad that you can’t have a peaceful meal on a weekend.”

It was not easy to be the successor of a big company.

Shawn was a little reluctant, but he still had to take his leave.

After Serenity settled the bill, she walked out of the restaurant linking arms with Jasmine.

They walked to the nearby cafe, Beans and Cream.

 

As soon as Serenity entered the cafe, Zachary’s bodyguards spotted her.

They immediately notified Zachary.

Zachary was not drinking coffee.

He just wanted to sit at his nana’s cafe to calm himself down and forget about Serenity’s effect on him.

Hearing about Serenity’s arrival from his bodyguard, Zachary’s face turned tense, cold, and stiff.

At that moment, even Duncan noticed Zachary’s change in mood.

Duncan and Josh exchanged glances.

Duncan said, “Should Josh and I give you some space?” Zachary looked at the door, only to see Serenity coming in while holding Jasmine’s arm.

However, Shawn was nowhere to be seen.

Although his love rival was gone, Zachary still looked glum and stiff.

After hearing his friend’s question, he said in a low voice, “She doesn’t know you two.” Duncan and Josh were speechless.

That was true.
