Married to the Hidden Billionaire（4）

Chapter 4

“You said it yourself, Liberty. It’s his prenuptial property. It wouldn’t make sense for my name to be added to the title deed since I didn’t contribute a penny to the house. I think we should just forget about it.”

Zachary had already done Serenity a huge favor by handing her the key to his house right after they got married, solving her housing issue immediately. Serenity wasn’t going to ask for more. Of course, she wouldn’t refuse if Zachary decided to add her name on his own, but now that they were married, Serenity was committed to spending her life with him.

Liberty needed to at least bring up the subject. Knowing her sister was independent and not motivated by greed, she didn’t push the matter further.

After some back-and-forth, Serenity finally moved out of her sister’s place. Liberty offered to drive her to Brynfield, but just as she was about to leave, Sonny woke up, crying for his mother.

“You should take care of Sonny. I don’t have much stuff. I can manage the move myself,” Serenity said, sensing the urgency.

Liberty needed to feed her son and prepare lunch; her husband would criticize her if she hadn’t cooked by the time he returned.

“Alright. Be careful on the road. Are you coming by for lunch later? Bring your husband along,” Liberty suggested.

“I have to go to the shop in the afternoon, so I can’t make it for lunch. Zachary has his hands full at work, and he’s actually going away for a business trip in the afternoon. It might be some time before I can bring him by to meet you.”

Serenity lied, not wanting to commit to something she wasn’t sure she could deliver. She didn’t know much about Zachary’s schedule, but Grandma May had mentioned his work was his priority, often taking him out of town for days.

“He’s going on a business trip the same day he got married?” Liberty exclaimed, feeling sorry for Serenity.

“We only have the marriage license, not the wedding. I see it this way: he should take those trips to make more money—expenses will pile up. I need to go, Liberty. Go take care of Sonny.”

Serenity waved her sister and nephew goodbye before grabbing her suitcase and heading down the stairs. She had heard of Brynfield but never visited before, so she hailed a cab and made her way there.

Once she arrived, it dawned on Serenity that she had forgotten to ask Zachary which floor his place was on.

She pulled out her phone to call him, but since he was probably in a meeting, she wasn’t sure if he would pick up. Still, she decided to try reaching him through WhatsApp.

Zachary was in the middle of a meeting, where everyone’s phones were set to silent. His phone was on the table, and he quickly saw the incoming call from Serenity.

Not having saved her contact, he saw her profile name—“Mermaid in the Deep Blue Sea”—and immediately dismissed the call without hesitation.

He blacklisted Serenity’s number without giving it a second thought.

Oblivious to this, Serenity sent him a message: “Mr. York, I’m at Brynfield now, but I don’t know which floor your place is on.”

When she tried to send the message, she was surprised to see it couldn’t go through.

She stared at her phone, confused. “Why can’t I reach him? We exchanged numbers at City Hall… Did I get the number wrong?”

After thinking it over, Serenity realized she had the right number, and the only explanation was that Zachary had blacklisted her.

Did he already forget that they were married?

Truth be told, Serenity knew that if she had stayed at her sister’s house for even two more days, she would have forgotten about Zachary too.

With a sigh, Serenity decided to call Grandma May.
