Chapter 784

Despite this, she continued to forcibly control him in order to stop her son from further bothering

Serenity.

Her son might be in a lot of pain now, but with the passing of time, he would walk out of the darkness

and stop seeking pain.

Time was the best medicine that healed all emotional wounds.

“What on earth happened?”

Mr. Lowe was normally busy due to his work and so he did not know about his son liking Serenity.

Mrs. Lowe had thought she alone could control her son and make her son give up thoroughly, so she

had not told her husband about this.

Mrs. Lowe sighed and said, “Your son has someone he likes now.”

Mr. Lowe said, uncomprehendingly, “He’s an adult now. Isn’t that normal? Other kids started having

crushes on people in their teens but there has never been such news on his end. I was even starting to

worry he wasn’t normal. Who does he like? Is the girl’s family background not good? You wouldn’t be

objecting to it otherwise:”

What Mrs. Lowe just said indicated to Mr. Lowe that his wife was not happy with his son’s choice of a

crush.

Mrs. Lowe once again sighed heavily. “You know the girl too. You’ve even known about her for more

than a decade.”

“I know her and I’ve known about her for more than a decade? Shawn usually likes hanging out with

Jasmine… That little rascal hasn’t fallen for his own cousin, has he? That scoundrel has wasted all his

education! Close relatives can’t get married,” Mr. Lowe protested.

“Where has your mind gone to? Shawn doesn’t like Jasmine–the one he likes is her best friend,

Serenity Hunt.”

Mr. Lowe was stunned.

Mrs. Lowe continued, “Discarding the fact that Serenity’s already married and has a husband, even if

Serenity was still single, they’re not suited for each other. Just look. at the status of us Lowes and look

at Serenity’s family background. Even if you take into account that Serenity’s aunt is Mrs. Stone,

they’re only aunt and niece. That doesn’t account for much.”

Mrs. Stone had her own daughter too.

“And anyway, Serenity doesn’t like Shawn that way. She’s always thought of him as a little brother.

After finding out he had feelings for her, she’s been very distant and aloof with him. It’s Shawn who

can’t give up and keeps bothering her. I could only threaten him with utilizing our connections to make

Serenity and her sister leave Wiltspoon if he kept seeking her out.

“Only then did Shawn stop to look for Serenity, but he’s still rebelling against me in his own way. I’m

doing this for his own good! He could have fallen for anybody but he just had to fall for Serenity. Isn’t he

just making himself the homewrecker then? It’s not like the Lowes are so undesirable that he won’t be

able to get a wife. Why does he need to be a homewrecker and try to take someone else’s wife?”

Mr. Lowe was at a loss for words.

It was at this moment that Zachary entered, his bodyguards following behind him.

The husband and wife’s conversation halted.

Mr. and Mrs. Lowe stood up to greet Zachary who was walking toward them in big strides.

Zachary’s bodyguards followed closely behind.

As they watched Zachary enter, Mr. and Mrs. Lowe once again sighed with amazement. Mr. York truly

had the air of a sovereign.

Every time they saw him appear, it always seemed like a royal had arrived.

“Mr. York.”

The Lowes smiled.

Zachary merely glanced at them and directly walked past them, only saying, “Follow me.”

Mr. and Mrs. Lowe agreed in unison and had no other thoughts at that moment. They silently followed

Zachary.

They could not walk behind him closely either and instead had to follow behind his troop of

bodyguards.

Mrs. Lowe saw that Zachary’s expression was flinty and felt that it meant nothing good.

It was terrifying. It really felt like they were about to die but had no clue how they would die.
