Chapter 891
Married at First Sight
Serenity looked at Elisa quietly.
Elisa said, âIâm a little tired from talking so much. Iâll go get a glass of water. Do you want one?â
âYes, please, and thank you.â
Elisa reached out and lightly pinched Serenityâs face, laughing. âWeâre sisters. Thereâs no need to be so polite. You take quite good care of your face. Itâs really nice to touch. Does Zachary like to touch your face?â
Serenity was speechless.
Before she could answer, Elisa smiled and walked away.
She poured Serenity and herself a cup of warm water.
Serenity stretched out her injured hand, but instead of handing her the cup, Elisa brought it straight to Serenityâs lips and said thoughtfully, âIâll feed you.â
âI can do it myself. I canât do anything else with my fingers wrapped like this, but I can still hold a glass of water.â
Although that was what Serenity said, she still accepted Elisaâs thoughtfulness.
After they both finished their water, Elisa sat down again and said, âThatâs all I have to say to you for now. Think about what I said. If youâre not willing to change yourself, then tell Zachary clearly. You two can split up early if Zachary and his family canât accept it.â
âItâs not like his family doesnât know that Iâm poor,â Serenity spoke for her in-laws. The York family knew her background from the beginning.
Elisa laughed. âThatâs true. The elders of the York family are very open-minded. Even if they donât approve of you in their hearts, they wonât do anything to you in the open. They respect the decisions of the younger generation, so you just have to deal with Zachary.
âI donât think itâs possible for you two to separate unless he doesnât love you anymore. However, heâs very overbearing and devoted. If you want to leave him, youâll probably have to wait until youâre reincarnated into your next life.â
Serenity sighed. âElisa, I also think that the gap between us is too big. Even if we reconcile now, Iâll always feel as if Iâm not good enough for him. Iâll become sensitive to it. Sensitive people are also prone to lose their temper.
âFights will happen easily if I lose my temper, and our feelings for each other arenât that deep in the first place. Our relationship canât handle the strain if we quarrel constantly. As for breaking up, itâs true that heâs not willing to break up with me now. To be honest, I canât bear to break up with him either. I have feelings for him too.
âLet me think over it.â
Serenity had put much thought into it.
She thought about what Zachary and she would face in the future.
As Elisa said, she would represent not only herself but also Zachary, and even the entire York family in the future. Every move she made would be put under microscopic eyes. If she made the slightest mistake, news about it would instantly go viral, which would seriously affect the reputation of herself and the York family.
It was hard to be a noblewoman, and harder still to be the wife of the man from the richest family in the city.
She did not have a strong family as her backer. If she wanted to hold hands with Zachary for the rest of her life, she had to make herself stronger just like how her aunt had risen in the Stone family.
However, it was easier said than done.
Now that all industries were saturated, it would be highly difficult if she wanted to re- invest in a business. She did not even know which industry to start with.
She did not have any big ideals before. She simply thought that she would continue running the bookstore with her best friend. With the small amount of money she earned from her online store, she would save enough money for a house down payment so she could have a real home of her own in the bustling city.
Compared to many salary workers, she was already well-off.
She never thought about marrying into the nobility, nor was she interested in them. That was because she knew she did not want to squeeze into a circle that she did not belong to. She did not have a strong passion for anything and just wanted to live a quiet life.
Everyone knew why she suddenly married Zachary, so there was nothing more to be said about that.
