Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

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.
