Chapter 890
Married at First Sight
Zachary was speechless.
There was no doubt Elisa was Cliveâs sister-the siblings were the same. When they found out that he was Serenityâs husband, they both acted like they had seniority over him as Serenityâs older cousins.
He hung up the phone.
The nearest hospital to Wiltspoon School was Wiltspoon Community Hospital. Even without checking, he could guess that Elisa sent Serenity to Wiltspoon Community Hospital.
Elisa was not angry at being hung up on by Zachary. She helped put Serenityâs phone back into her purse and said, âSeren, your mom is my aunt, which means weâre cousins. The DNA test confirmed it, so itâs an indisputable fact.
âIâm a year older than you, so I have seniority over you, right? Zachary is your husband. It stands to reason that I also have seniority over him. You need to make him address me more politely, or my anger wonât be relieved.â
Serenity wanted to laugh and said, âItâs his mouth. I canât control him if he doesnât want to do it.â
âYou have to control him. If you donât, heâll still look at me with that sullen expression and talk to me coldly! I canât be his wife, but itâs not bad to be his older sister. Hahaha! I just want him to call me respectfully!â
She sat down in the vacant seat beside Serenity, looked down at Serenityâs injured hand, and said in distress, âDid you think of your hand as Zachary and cut it because you were angry?â
âOf course not. No matter how angry I am, I wonât harm myself. It really was an accident. Maybe I just used too much strength because I was angry.â
âActually, Zachary is an exceptionally good man. Heâs from a good family too. I was born and raised in a rich family, so I know very well what wealthy families are like. I can say that a rich family like the Yorks is one of the only few of its kind in the whole province.â
Elisa added enviously, âThe Johnsons from Annenburg are similar to the Yorks in Wiltspoon, but Iâve never heard of a third family like theirs. In any case, the York family is at the top of the pyramid. The family members are thriving and united. Theyâre the cream of the crop.
âItâs fine if you quarrel with Zachary for a few days, but not for too long. Youâll regret it for the rest of your life if you lose him. Look at me. I fixed my eyes on him and was obsessed with him for so many years. I even dreamed of marrying him before, but weâre not meant to be.
âOf course, you have to look at his performance before deciding whether youâd want to forgive him. If he behaves badly, such as imprisoning you or knocking you out like he did before, then you should stay mad for a few more days.â
Elisa admitted that Zachary was worthy of a lifelong commitment.
Otherwise, she would not have been obsessed with him for so many years and only given up when she learned that he was married.
âSeren, thereâs no one else here. Iâm one year older than you are, as well as your cousin. Even if we met each other just recently, I clicked with you instantly and had long since regarded you as a bosom friend. What I say to you are all heartfelt words.
âYou wonât divorce Zachary, right? Maybe youâll think about divorcing in a fit of anger, but Zachary will never agree. If he doesnât agree, it doesnât matter even if you try suing him for divorce. His words are law in Wiltspoon.
âSince you canât get a divorce, you have to confront the reality between you two. Previously, you didnât know that he was from the York family and thought he was an ordinary salaryman, so there was no disparity. Now that you know his real identity and two different worlds have collided, there is bound to be a reality gap.
âTrust me. Itâs hard to be a noblewoman. You must make yourself strong. I believe that if you work hard, Liberty and you can grow stronger. You both have that undefeatable resilience in you.
âYou canât be content with what you have now. To those noble ladies, the income you have each month isnât even enough to buy a bag. In the future, youâre representing not just yourself but also Zachary.
Youâre the missus of the York family, and the wife of the next head of the family.
âMy mom was an orphan who climbed up with her own strength. Despite that, she also encountered many problems when she first married my dad. My grandfather trusted and admired my mom, but my grandmother acted like a stereotypical mother- in-law. She had always picked on her daughter-in-law.
âMy mom struggled with my grandmother. It was only when Stone Group faced a crisis that my dad couldnât manage and my mom saved the day, plus later on when my two brothers were born, that my grandmother finally accepted and acknowledged my mom.
âMy mom always says that women should be self-reliant. We have to be strong without depending on anyone. Thatâs the only way we can stand firm and not be bullied in this cruel and unfair world.
