Chapter 900

“What I mean is, give me a little time. I’ll try to see if I can fit into your world. If I can’t, I won’t force myself, and you shouldn’t force me either. An unequal marriage won’t last.

“You just fell in love with me, so your feelings are especially strong now. You think you can accept everything about me, and you don’t care what my status is.

“As time passes, you’ll feel that I can’t help you with anything. We have nothing in common. I won’t understand if you talk about finance, stocks, and investment. If you take me to socialize with your friends, other ladies will be able to make conversation easily with you all, but what can I talk about to you?

“Do I talk about the weather? Or ask what you had for lunch?

“Eventually, you’ll feel that I’m a disgrace, and that I’m not as good as your friends‘ wives. It’s because they’re on the same level as you with similar social circles, so they share similar insights and conversation topics.

“You can say that no one will dare do anything to me with you around, but I’ll feel inferior. I don’t want to be a canary in a cage whose only job is to be clothed and fed by you. I want to be the woman who walks alongside you.

“However, your starting point is so high up that I can’t even catch up with you. That’s why I think we have to start over. Give me the chance to at least try.”

Zachary’s expression was dark. “Why do you care that much about how others see you? I told you that I can support you and raise a family. You just need to keep the status quo and not care about what people say. They’re just jealous that you can marry into the York family and be my wife..

“My friends won’t look down on you. When we get together, I’ll remind them in advance not to talk about topics that you’re not well–versed in. We’ll just chat about everyday life. We’ll talk about what we ate and where we went to have fun, okay? I can do all that for you.

“Seren, I know your sister’s failed marriage had a great impact on you. You’re afraid I’ll become a scumbag like Hank, right? Don’t worry, I promise you that I won’t! Even if you turn fat in the future, I won’t dislike you.

“I love you as a person. Be it your strengths or flaws, I can accept all of them.

“What contract do you want us to sign? Are you going to terminate our marriage if you can’t fit into my circle? You’re just putting up a front. In truth, you just want to leave me. You’re still angry at me for lying to you.”

Serenity almost lost her temper several times, but she held back. She desperately told herself, ‘Endure, Seren. Endure!‘

His domineeringness and stubbornness were not something she could change with just a few words.

He did not think that far. He only knew that he was the eldest young master of the York family. With him around, she could do whatever she wanted in Wiltspoon.

He only thought about how he had enough money to raise her and their family. All she had to do was continue being his wife. There was no need for her to worry about anything else.

She was being treated like a canary kept in a gilded cage.

Nevertheless, Serenity admitted that her sister’s failed marriage had greatly affected her.

Hank and her sister met twelve years ago, were in love for seven years, and married for more than three years. They had been together longer than Zachary and Serenity knew each other. Hank had treated her sister extremely well before. Everything that Zachary was saying now, Hank said the same to Liberty.

He said he could afford to support her and their little family.

In the end?

They exchanged vows to be with each other till death do them part, but they ended up divorcing just seven years in.
