NovelUSAChapter 266 After returning home, Wendy had been treading carefully for a few days.
Finally, when she could approach Zach normally again, she let out a breath of relief.
She had been planning to dress up nicely and use her recent heartbreak as an excuse to invite Zach on a short getaway.
But just as she was getting ready, she saw Zach packing his luggage. Did he somehow sense her plan and prepare for a trip with her in advance? Her heart leaped with excitement, and she quickly stepped forward. "Zach, are you planning a trip?" "I'm going back to Yellowbrook City." Zach answered, looking up at Wendy.
He had barely slept in the past few days. Every the closed his eyes, all he could see was Hugh holding Serena in his arms.

Seeing Wendy standing there in shock, his expression darkened. "There's no project in Javerton City that needs my attention. Pack up. We're going home." Home? No! Wendy screamed internally.
If they returned to Yellowbrook City, with Neal watching over them, she'd have no chance to get close to Zach! No! She had to make him hers before they left Javerton City! However, her panic lasted only a second before an idea flashed in her mind. So, she pressed down on Zach's hand, stopping him from packing.
"Zach, are you really just going to give up on Serena like this?" "What else can I do?" Zach's voice was indifferent.
Hugh and Serena were already married. What chance did he have left? His face remained cold as he tried to push Wendy's hand away.
But then she said, "So what if she's married? It's not like she signed a lifetcontract.
"Zach, you love her so much. Do you really care who she's been with or whether she has a marriage certificate? "That night, I just made a few sarcastic remarks, but you were so angry you leftstranded outside for an entire night.
"Yet when it comes to Serena, after more than ten years of being together, you're just going to let her go? Are you really willing to throw all of that away?" Zach couldn't retort to that. Of course, he wasn't willing to let go just like that.
He remembered every version of Serena-the bold and carefree girl of their youth and the elegant and graceful woman she became.
He remembered the way she curled up in his arms on rainy days, softly murmuring poetry about the rain, her Cath warm against his neck. It was as if she would never leave him.
Each memory had settled into his heart, turning into deep, overwhelming love. How could he possibly forget? Wendy watched closely as the light in Zach's dark eyes flickered back to life. She felt complicated.
She was happy that Zach still loved Serena as it meant he would surely stay in Javerton City to fight for her. But she was also jealous of his love for Serena that was a thousand times greater than any affection he had ever shown her.

After a long pause, Zach finally spoke, "I don't want to give up. But what can I do?" "Women understand women best."
Wendy seized the moment. "If you really want to be with Serena 'll do anything to help you consider it my way of making up for my harsh words the other day."
She repeated her loyalty over and over, swearing that she knew Serena better than anyone, how close they once were and how she understood her completely. Hope rekindled in Zach's heart. "Then I'll stay a few more days and try." "Great!" Wendy nodded eagerly, watching as Zach ordered his things to be put back in place.
She let out a deep sigh of relief and turned to leave.
Standing alone in the empty hallway, the warmth vanished from her eyes. Now, only cold determination remained.
"I'm never going to help you two." She was only helping herself. As long as she had enough time, she would secure her place by Zach's side.
Wendy went back to her room and picked up a registration form for an upcoming violin competition in Javerton City. Her gaze burned with ambition.
"As long as I win this, I'll have the status I need to marry Zach."
