Chapter 907

In other words, the couple would divorce and be set free if Serenity could not blend into his circle.

Was marriage all about equal social standing?

Zachary and his family never once turned their nose up at Serenity. Why must Serenity put pressure on herself and care about what other people think?

He believed there was no gap between them!

His word should be taken for it!

“You can pretend nothing happened since you don’t remember. Oh, there’s one thing you kept repeating all night–‘Serenity, you’re not the only one out there for me.‘ Are those your true thoughts?

You should go and talk to her when the sun comes out. What are you trying to accomplish by making a huge fuss about it with us?”

With his face falling, Zachary bitterly smiled. “Seren said a lot to me, Nana. She doesn’t want to be a defenseless girl, hiding under my wing. She wants to be a woman standing proudly next to me.

“Serenity wants to share common interests. It’s not like we don’t have anything in common to talk about. I’m not trying to raise her like a pet. She’s my wife. There’s nothing wrong with me wanting to take care of my wife financially, but she wants to get on by herself.

“There are so many women out there who want to marry me. I could have anyone in the world, but I don’t want them. Serenity’s the only one for me. Why can’t she be like everyone else and enjoy all the wealth and privilege I can give her? It makes sense that she wants to be self–reliant if I can’t afford her or fail in my duties as a husband.

“I have the means to take care of her and the family. Yet, here she was, talking about being independent. She owns a shop and has an income. Isn’t that enough? I didn’t stop her from running her business. I never asked her to stay at home and be a good wife.

“Don’t I give her enough freedom? She’s my wife. No one will have the audacity to disrespect her. No one will give her an attitude. She basically has Wiltspoon in the palm of her hand with me around. I bet Elisa said something to her that started this. I knew that woman was no good. She’s out to drive a wedge between me and Serenity.”

Poor Elisa, after all that good word she put in for Zachary.

The attack was uncalled for.

“You got so much anger in you because Serenity talked to you about that, and your true feelings were revealed when you were drunk?”

Zachary responded, “Nana, I didn’t mean it. I clearly spoke in anger without thinking. You see how much I care for Serenity. I’m the heir of the York family, for goodness‘ sake. I get everything I want.

Sure, I made a mistake, but I apologized for it. She’s still M–My ego was bruised, that was why everything came out wrong.

“Nana, please don’t tell that to Seren, or you’ll blow your chances of having a great- granddaughter.”

Talking about great–granddaughters, Zachary suddenly expectantly uttered, “We tried to make babies after Seren’s Aunt Flo left. I wonder if she’s pregnant.”

Grandma May looked at him and said, “So what if she’s pregnant? You don’t share the same values.

What’s the point if you can’t communicate well? You’re only going to fight. Zachary, you haven’t gotten anything figured out.

“Do you know what kind of woman Serenity is?”

Zachary fell silent.

“Go to her once you really get to know who she is. Otherwise, your relationship will only go in circles.

Get upstairs and change. You better stay put and give Serenity some space for now.”

Zachary begrudgingly said, “Why can’t I visit my wife? What if someone steals her away?”

“The whole city knows she’s Mrs. York. Who would dare cross the line and woo her?” Zachary then mumbled something under his breath.

“Are you going upstairs to change or what? No one’s going to make you take a shot now if you catch a cold.”

With a sour face, Zachary turned on his heels and went up the stairs.

Did he really not get Serenity?

Serenity felt that she did not deserve him because he was too wealthy.

Nevertheless, what was his belonged to her too.

Josh pulled up at the gate of the Soxes‘ residence. He got out of the car and checked himself out in the side mirror. Happy with his looks, Josh retrieved the gift he bought from the back seat.

He walked to the front door and pressed the doorbell.

The Soxes‘ watchdogs barked and sprung at the noise.
