Chapter 844
“If this had happened two months ago, I believe she’d happily agree to get a divorce without any
regrets. But now, I don’t think she’ll do so. After all, it’s not easy to get over a relationship.”
After pausing for a moment, Josh asked curiously, “Have you gotten her pregnant?”
Zachary replied, “Nope…”
Zachary and Serenity did not use protection. They tried their best to make a baby, but nothing
happened.
Perhaps they were not fated to have a baby yet.
“Since you don’t have a child to connect you and Serenity, you have only yourself to rely on. Zachary,
you’re no fool. Since the incident took place, you’ve done a series of things based on instinct. Ask
yourself. If you were Serenity, how would you feel after being deceived, imprisoned, and hit?
“Now, we’re not talking about whether you lied to her. This isn’t a big deal. The main issue is that the
things you did after you made a mistake have upset Serenity.
“You fear she wants a divorce, but can you stop her by imprisoning her? This will only intensify your
conflict with her.
“Let her go. Separate from her for a few days. Both of you should calm down. Pull yourself together
and think about what you should do to regain Serenity’s trust. It’s because your web of lies has caused
her to lose trust in you.
“Once she has calmed down, she’ll reflect on the good qualities of yours and her memories with you,
including those times she faced any hardships, you would stay by her side and help her out. These are
all the memories between the two of you.
“When she reflects on your good qualities, just work hard to regain her trust. That’s how you break the
ice. If you keep imprisoning her, she’ll think about the bad qualities of yours and how you lied to her.
She won’t remember all the good you’ve done for her.
“Don’t criticize her. Many people behave this way as well. When one criticizes another they’ll surely
think about the bad qualities of the other party. That’s why she would criticize you non–stop. Who
would someone think of the good qualities of the other party while criticizing? Temporary memory loss
usually occurs in this case.”
Zachary kept quiet and appeared to be deep in thought.
“Zachary, give it some thought. In fact, if you’d apologized to Serenity for lying to her, she would’ve
been fine after a few days. Both of you are now in a deadlock all because of the series of mistakes you
made after your confession. You were adding insult to injury.
“Let’s cast aside Serenity’s opinion on it. If it were me, I would certainly be seething with anger if I was
deceived, hit, and even imprisoned.
“Think of others.
“You came here in a rush. Have you eaten? I suppose you haven’t really eaten in the past two days. Do
you want to eat out? I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Zachary shook his head and said, “I don’t have an appetite.”
“Did Serenity go on a hunger strike?”
“No. She’ll surely eat regardless of what happens.”
Josh grinned. “That’s great. It’s crucial to treat food as a high priority. Don’t starve yourself.”
“She thinks she has the strength to fight me only after filling her stomach.”
“Don’t use the word ‘fight‘. It seems like both of you are enemies. You both are married couples. It’s
merely a conflict. Which married couple has never had any conflict in their lives?
“Couples shouldn’t go to bed angry. It’ll all be over little by little.”
Zachary looked at his best friend and said, “Josh, you don’t even have an official girlfriend, yet you can
be a relationship counselor and an expert in marriage.”
Josh laughed and said, “As an outsider, I can see things more clearly than those involved. In fact,
outsiders are clear about the situation except for both of you who are trapped in it. Zachary, you need
to change your attitude. Get rid of your domineering attitude.
