Chapter 216 – The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel

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

Clive took his sister‘s shoulders and said in distress, “Elisa, you‘ve already tried and seen the results. Zachary has never warmed up to you. He has a heart of ice when it comes to you. You‘ll only be more hurt if you continue to go after him.

“It‘s not like no one else wants to marry you. Why bother pestering a man who doesn‘t love you?”

“I‘ve only been pursuing him for a short amount of time. Alice chased after you for an even longer time.”

Clive was speechless.

His sister watched the entire process of his wife pursuing him, which became a good example and gave his sister the courage to chase after Zachary the same way. “Clive, help me investigate Zachary. I want to know if he‘s wearing that ring to trick me into giving up, or if he‘s really married. If it‘s the latter… I‘m willing to give up!”

When Elisa uttered the last two words, her heart hurt as if it was being pricked by a thousand needles.

Clive saw his sister‘s pale face and knew that she must be devastated.

He had been in love before. Although he had a happy marriage, he had experienced sadness and despair before that. Thus, he knew that feelings could hurt one deeply.

Clive could also tell that Zachary would not fall in love with Elisa, so if Elisa continued to pester Zachary, she would be the one who would get hurt in the end. It was better to let her give up on Zachary as soon as possible.

He sighed and said, “Elisa, it‘s not that I don‘t want to help you investigate Zachary. Think about who‘s working for him – Josh Bucham. You know what the Buchams are capable of. Once I do a background check on Zachary, Zachary will know.

“Do you think Zachary will let me find out? Besides, I‘ve arranged for most of my subordinates to look for our aunt.”

Elisa was silent.

She knew what her brother said was true.

Josh Bucham worked for Zachary, and everyone in Wiltspoon knew what the Buchams were best at.

“Elisa, there are so many good men in this world, so forget about Zachary.”

Elisa lowered her head and said nothing. Soon, tears flowed

down her face, drop by drop.

She was devastated.

Why was it so difficult to love someone and want to be with him?

Clive silently embraced his sister‘s shoulders.

“Oh, Clive.”

Elisa leaned on her brother‘s shoulder and cried. “Why doesn‘t Zachary like me? Am I not good enough? Does he think I‘m arrogant and willful? He just needs to tell me what he doesn‘t like about me, and I‘ll change.

“But he didn‘t even give me a chance. Am I just so unlikeable?”

Clive was heartbroken. “Elisa, there‘s no reason to not like someone. He doesn‘t like you not because you‘re not good enough. Humans aren‘t like cash. We can‘t make everyone like us. Even if it‘s cash, some people prefer pounds and euros over dollars.

“You are unique, and your character is innate. I think you should live a carefree and easy life, and there‘s no need for you to change yourself for anyone. You‘ll be miserable if you change yourself, and we, your family, will feel distressed when we see you like that.”

Elisa sobbed. “Brother, if I give up, I will feel that I have no purpose in life.”

“Silly girl! How can you not have a purpose in life? You can set your goal to become the richest woman in Wiltspoon or further your studies to better yourself. Or, you can take over the task of looking for our aunt for our mother. You can make that your goal!”

Clive pulled a few sheets of tissues from its box and handed them to his sister. “Elisa, life is not just about love. You still have family and friends, and you can do more meaningful things.”

Elisa took the tissues to wipe away her tears and snot.” Mom and aunt have been separated for decades. We have no clue how our aunt looked when she was older. We‘ve been searching for so many years, but nothing useful came up.”

“Mom has been hung up over looking for her sister her whole life. As her children, we should continue trying our best to help her find our aunt. As long as our aunt is alive, I believe it‘s just a matter of time before we find her. So, do you want to accept this challenge?”

Elisa cried a lot and vented the anguish in her heart. She finally calmed down, thought about it, and said, “I‘ll accept this challenge then. I will definitely help Mom to find our aunt!”

To forget someone, one must do other things to distract oneself.

Over time, Elisa would let go of her feelings for Zachary. “Clive, can you still help me find out if Zachary is married? You don‘t need to do a background check on him, just ask around to inquire about it so Zachary won‘t be alerted.”

Clive was speechless.

After his long and elaborated speech, his sister had not given up.

Zachary did not care whether Elisa believed he was married or not. He was busy once he returned to the office. At half past ten, he got off work early without waiting for Serenity‘s call. He drove the national MPV he used to deceive Serenity and headed straight toward Wiltspoon School. On the way, he parked the car when he came across a florist.

Zachary hesitated and struggled for ten minutes before he pushed open the door to get out of the car and walked into the florist

“Sir, would you like to buy flowers? Are they for your girlfriend?”

After Zachary looked around the shop, he said to the shopkeeper, “It‘s for my wife.”

The shopkeeper smiled. “Is this for a birthday or wedding anniversary?”

“Neither. I just want to give her flowers.”

The shopkeeper smiled. “What about a bouquet of roses interspersed with baby‘s–breath?”

Zachary had never bought flowers for a woman. He thought the shopkeeper‘s suggestion was good, so he nodded and said, “Sure, whatever you see fit.”

“Please wait for a moment.”

The shopkeeper could tell this was the first time this man was buying flowers for his wife.

After a while, the shopkeeper handed a bunch of flowers to Zachary. Zachary took the bouquet and paid the bill before turning around and walking out of the florist with the bouquet in hand.

Zachary put the bouquet in the passenger seat and glanced

at the flowers every few minutes while driving.

At the same time, he was still thinking about how he should give this bunch of flowers to Serenity.

Soon, he arrived at the entrance of Wiltspoon School. Since he got off work earlier than usual, the students were only dismissed from school at this time.

Thus, many students could be seen pouring into Serenity‘s store. Some students were looking for study materials while others picked up their favorite stationery.
