Chapter 899
Married at First Sight
âI was really angry when I first found out that you lied to me⦠Forget it. Letâs put that aside for now.
Look at yourself. Itâs like your hair is standing on end. Iâm still angry, and I havenât calmed down yet, but everyone is speaking up for you and pleading your case.â
Even her best friend, who was on her side, spoke up for him.
âYou have the right to be angry, Seren. It was my fault. I shouldnât have concealed it from you for so long. I couldnât even confess to you in person and chose another way to let you find out⦠It was Remy who suggested that!â
If Remy were here, he would say, âYou were the one who came to me for advice.â
After a moment of silence, Serenity said, âIn the end, itâs because you donât trust me enough.â
âSeren, I admit that I used to distrust you and guard against you. I thought you were after my money.
Now, I absolutely believe in your character.â
Serenity was silent again and looked up at him. With a heart split between hesitance and certainty, she asked, âZachary, can we sign another contract?â
Before Zachary could speak, she continued, âI got angry after finding out your true identity, but that anger is secondary now. What I should consider more is the gap. between us. Youâre the eldest young master of the York family. Youâre someone who was born into a family that has assets worth billions, but Iâm just an ordinary woman with no parents. My relatives are all sorry excuses for humans too. I have no skills, and Iâm completely mismatched with you in every aspect.â
âSerenity!â Zachary interjected solemnly.
He said grimly, âNo matter what your status is, Iâve decided that it has to be donât look down on you. As long as I think youâre a match for me, then you are. Donât put yourself down like that.â
âIâm not putting myself down. Iâm just stating the facts.â
Serenity had never been one to belittle herself.
âSeren, I donât need you to have any skills. Itâs enough if Iâm capable. I can support a family. I support you. In the future, I can also afford to raise our children. With the money I earn, I can support all of us even if we give birth to a soccer team.
âYou donât need to put pressure on yourself. I donât need you to support the family.
Iâm completely fine with keeping the status quo.â
Zachary had earned more money than he could spend. He could support the entire family singleâ
handedly, so there was no need for Serenity to have any skills, nor did she need to earn money to share the burden. She just needed to stay by his side and not think about divorce.
âSeren, you might not know this, but everyone in our family receives an allowance from the family trust fund every month. Youâre the eldest missus of the York family, so yours amount to 600,000 each month.
âThatâs just from the family fund. I can also give you pocket money every month. Nana and my mom will definitely give you too. You donât have to worry about money at all.â
As Zachary spoke, he took out his wallet and pulled out a black card, placing it in front of Serenity.
âIn our small home, youâre in charge. Everything you say is law. This is my black card, but you keep it.
Use it however you want. In short, with me around, you never have to worry about money.â
Serenity glanced at the black card and then looked at him.
Did he think she was worried about money?
âZachary, if our marriage is to continue, do you want me to be a canary you keep in a cage, or do you want me to stand and walk beside you?â
Zachary stared at her in silence.
