Chapter 108 – The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel

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

Surprised, the few CEOs immediately asked Josh, “Mr. Bucham, does Mr. York have someone he likes? Do you know who the lucky girl is?”

Fancy that. Even Zachary had a shot at love. The probability was slim to none.

“Shh… You gotta keep it a secret or Mr. York will reproach me for being nosy and a blabbermouth. Mr. York hasn’t fallen in love yet. He’s merely a bit interested in the girl. Judging by his character, Mr. York will tell the whole world once he’s fallen head over heels with a girl.”

Mr. York would put the word out there so admirers like Elisa would not harass him.

The CEOs nodded their heads.

It was good enough for them to find out that Mr. York was interested in girls. It got one of the CEOs thinking as he had a daughter who had reached marrying age.

Since Mr. York was a straight guy, the CEO intended to bring his daughter along to observe during business discussions at York Corporation. Who knows? His daughter might catch Mr. York’s attention. The girl, who Mr. York had shown interest in, had not been formally introduced as his girlfriend.

It was a fair competition.

Having no idea that his right-hand man had betrayed him, Zachary was delighted to get a call from his wife. A smile plastered across his face. Of course, he kept his tone flat and deep when talking to Serenity, “Yes?”

“I just called to check in on you. Are you having a break? Am I bothering you?”

Serenity was worried her call might be untimely since it was midday break.

“I’m having my lunch.” “Oh.” Serenity added. “Why are you having a late lunch? I know things can be busy at work, but you must remember to have your meals on time. Don’t starve yourself.”

“Alright.”

It was not the first time anyone showed Zachary concern, but Serenity’s thoughtful words gave him the warmest tingles.

“Um… Mr. York, thank you for sending me lunch. The food was amazing. The dessert was fresh too.” The service of a major hotel was nothing short of impeccable.

Zachary still reflected no emotions in his voice. “I have a late lunch meeting at the Wiltspoon Hotel. You order takeout every day and it’s not the best thing to eat

excessively, so I ordered a few dishes and had the manager arrange for delivery.

“Try and refrain from ordering takeout. If you like, I can arrange for daily food delivery from the hotel.” Zachary could put his trust in the hotel under his company’s flagship.

Besides, he personally made the call to organize the whole thing. It was safer for Serenity to eat it than the takeout she ordered.

“Jasmine and I would get groceries and cook if we had time. We order takeout when we’re busy. Don’t make it a daily arrangement. The Wiltspoon Hotel is the best hotel in the city. The food is heavenly, but I’m sure it’s expensive. It’s fine to enjoy the hotel meals once in a while, but we can’t afford to have them every single day.”

Zachary might be well-paid, but at the end of the day, he was working for somebody else.

Serenity took home a monthly income of around twenty thousand dollars. With her online business booming this month, her earnings went up by a lot to an estimate of thirty thousand bucks.

Although she earned more, Serenity would not waste her money unnecessarily. She saved 70% of her income every month, either keeping it in the bank or investing in low risk wealth management products.

Zachary paused before answering, “Try to cook your own meals. Don’t order takeout anymore. I’m going to have food delivered to your shop if you get into the habit of ordering takeout. At worst, I’ll spend all my money on food.”

“Fine, fine. I’ll buy groceries at the supermarket near our place to bring to the shop. I’ll make my own food instead of eating out.

Don’t send me food from the hotel every day. We can’t afford the hefty price. Although we eat to live, it’s excessive to spend all your wages on food.”

Zachary remained silent.

In her eyes, he was only an ordinary wage earner. Even though Serenity knew he was a white-collar worker, she had no clue about the figure of his salary. She was trying to save him money in case she ate him out of the house and home.

It was clear that she was not a money-hungry woman.

In fact, Zachary realized he was wrong about Serenity going after his money after spending a good deal of time with her.

“I got my salary today. I’ll wire you the living expenses later. Spend it on food and everything necessary. Don’t be too frugal,” Zachary said.

“It’s fine. We still have a chunk of change left from the hundred thousand dollars you gave me the last time. We kept our household expenditures low, so not much of the money was used.”

The furniture took away tens of thousands, but that was a one-time purchase.

The remaining dozens of thousands could last the household for several months. Besides, Serenity was not going to spend his money all the time.

“Just save the unused portion. Men can be extravagant with their spending. Just keep the money that I’ve wired to you. It can serve as an emergency fund. Otherwise, I’ll burn through all my money.”

Serenity gave it a thought before answering, “Alright then.”

She would keep a record of all the transactions.

The money Zachary wired to her every month would be saved and put in writing. It would be easy to divide the money when they were to go down with the divorce.

“Mr. York, I shouldn’t keep you from your work any longer.”

“I might be home late tonight. Just leave the door unlocked for me. No need to wait up.” Serenity had never stayed up to wait for his return. Still, Zachary had to bring that up.

“Sure.” Without another word, Serenity hung up the call.

Zachary knew where Serenity stood. She did not care whether he was home early or late.

Sigh. This was part of the agreement they signed. She was not allowed to get involved in his affairs.

After having a moment to himself, Zachary transferred twenty thousand bucks to her mobile device.

Serenity accepted the transaction.

With Serenity taking the money, Zachary found himself in a better mood.

It was only natural that the husband brought home the bacon while the wife spent the money.

Serenity slumped over the cash register for a quick nap.

She got some shuteye before pulling out her tools and materials to start on her craftwork.

Sometime later, a car was heard pulling up outside. As the clicking of high heels ensued , Serenity turned her head toward the noise.

“Ms. Stone?” Serenity cried in surprise. It was Elisa.

Elisa planned to go on a beach vacation with her mother when Serenity suddenly came to mind. She thought about catching up with Serenity before the holidays since Serenity left a lasting impression on her. Elisa could not help but want to get closer to Serenity.

“I finally found you.”

Elisa handed over a bag. “I’ve been waiting for you to contact me, but I didn’t get it. I found this place through your absurd relatives. This is a little something for you.”

It was an expensive skincare set.

Serenity accepted the bag of skincare without a fuss. She said with a smile, “You’re too kind, Ms. Stone. You’re welcome to visit me, but you didn’t have to get me a gift.”

“Don’t mind me being blunt. I bought extra, but I didn’t need that many, so I brought you a set.”

In fact, Elisa just bought the gift. She made up the story in case Serenity would not accept the expensive gift. Elisa did not want Serenity to feel like she needed to return the favor

It was only a skincare set. Sure, it might be costly to ordinary people, but it did not cost much in Elisa’s eyes.
