Chapter 218
Liberty continued her job hunt.
Serenity took her nephew back to the store.
Jasmine loved Sonny and she was the one who played with him the most, letting Serenity focus on her
crafts.
She was going to make some retro headwear to sell online and see how the sales go. If it went well, she
would open another online store.
Ever since e-commerce became a thing, business at brickand-mortar stores took a plunge.
If the online store could make money, Serenity would happily open another online store.
When it was noon, Jasmine asked her friend, “Seren, are you still going to pick up your husband for
lunch today? I have some fresh seafood over at home. Let’s have a seafood feast for lunch. If Mr. York
wants to join us, I’ll prepare more portions.”

“Even if I call him, he won’t come anyway. Jasmine, I think I’m having a cold war with Zachary.”
Serenity finished making a miniature tree that a customer ordered and called it a day for now.
Jasmine asked in concern, “How did that happen? Haven’t you been getting along quite well recently?
Mr. York even had someone from Wiltspoon Hotel bring you a meal because he wanted you to eat well.”
Serenity sighed and said, “It was because I invited you and Shawn for lunch last Saturday. I didn’t see
him, but he might have seen me. He insisted that I was treating Shawn as my backup partner and that I
was cuckolding him. I was really pissed off. “Shawn and I are like siblings. I’ve always thought of him as
my younger brother. How can I take him as a backup partner? If I really liked him, I would’ve gone to him
when I was looking for a man to marry to get out of my sister’s house. Why would I go to Zachary
instead? “He usually looks generous, but he’s so narrow-minded. Not only is he petty, but he’s also
suspicious and says nasty things. He accused me of cheating on him before he checked the facts. Isn’t
he just saying that I’m a loose woman?”
She did not mention that Zachary also forcefully kissed her when he was drunk.
Jasmine said after a pause, “Did he see the three of us eating together? Why didn’t he come to say hello
to us? Also, I was sitting right there too. Didn’t he see me? Did he only see Shawn and you?” “I said the
same thing. I told him that you were around too, and I was just eating with my friends.” Jasmine thought
about it, and her expression changed. She asked tentatively, “Seren, does Mr. York suspect that I’mthe
matchmaker?”
Serenity was speechless.
‘With Zachary’s suspicious nature, there’s a very real possibility that he thought Jasmine was
matchmaking Shawn and I, or even covering for me.’
Jasmine felt upset.
She never thought of matching her friend with Shawn. That was because Serenity was three years older
than Shawn, and Serenity did not like having a partner that was younger than she is.
Shawn also clearly thought of Serenity as an older sister. Their relationship was strictly familial.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Seren, you have to explain it to Mr. York so he doesn’t think that I’m trying to matchmake you. I’m
innocent.” More importantly, it would affect her friend’s marriage
with Mr. York.
Although the two only married out of convenience and had no emotional foundation, they had gotten their
license for a month. They should have at least developed some feelings by now. Jasmine hoped that her
good friend and Zachary could be loving like a normal husband and wife, and live together for the rest of
their lives.
She never thought of introducing her friend to other men.
“I tried, but he only believed what he saw. He didn’t come home last night. I sent him a message this
morning, but he didn’t reply either. I think this is what people mean by a cold war.”
Serenity sighed.
This was her first time being a wife.
She had no experience. She did not know what to do when a couple was having a cold war.
