Chapter 128
Zachary was once again at a loss for words. He wasn’t quite sure what to discuss with her.
The young couples around them were newlyweds, walking closely together and holding hands, while those with children were engrossed in their kids, giving them ample conversation topics. In contrast, Zachary and Serenity had neither romantic feelings nor children to talk about.
It was a challenging task for them to engage in conversation.
Noticing Zachary’s silence, Serenity smiled and stood up, gently pulling him to his feet. “Let’s head back so you won’t feel awkward, worrying that I might make a move on you at any moment p>
“Serenity, you’re a girl p>
“And what if I am? I’m just saying p>
As Serenity led him away, she held onto his sleeve without touching his hand, concerned that he might wash his hands a hundred times upon returning home. “Did you see the trending story from two days ago? It was about Ms. Stone and Mr. York. Ms. Stone really likes him, so she confessed her feelings and pursued him openly. Men pursue the women they like, and women do the same, as everyone seeks true love p>
“I admire Ms. Stone for her courage. Although she doesn’t know me, I’ll silently wish her luck in her quest for true love. I hope she succeeds and marries Mr. York. She’s pursuing him quite aggressively right now, and once they’re together, I’m sure Mr. York will pamper her endlessly p>
Unbeknownst to Elisa, she had downplayed the “ungrateful granddaughter” trending story, minimizing the tweet’s impact on Serenity and Liberty. Consequently, Serenity held a positive view of Elisa.
Additionally, Elisa’s bold personality only deepened Serenity’s admiration for her.
When Zachary heard his wife’s words, he nearly rolled his eyes. He thought to himself, ‘If you only knew that Mr. York is p>
“Your husband, would you still say such a thing?” Zachary clarified, “Mr. York isn’t fond of Ms. Stone,” explaining himself to prevent Serenity from attempting to pair him with Elisa. “Aside from love at first sight, most people don’t expect to fall in love with their partner right away. Love is about mutual pursuit and gradually getting to know one another. As they grow closer, admiration and feelings will develop over time.
“Feelings need to be nurtured. Mr. York and Ms. Stone would be a good match since they come from the same social class. If they were to get together, it would certainly be a perfect match p>
“I work at York Corporation, and I know our boss always has his bodyguards with him and avoids young women. He’s not interested in them. Plus, our company and the Stone Group aren’t exactly on good terms, so how could he possibly be with Ms. Stone p>
After marrying Zachary, Serenity had never inquired about his position or salary at the company. They were just husband and wife legally and might not last long, so she didn’t see the point.
However, if Zachary ever brought up his job, Serenity would happily share her thoughts on what kind of person his boss was.
“Have you met your boss? Since you share the same last name, people might mistake you for his relative,” she said with a smile. “Jasmine has suspected several times that you’re related to that Mr. York, but I told her she’s been reading too many novels and confusing fiction with reality. The female lead always ends up marrying a billionaire at first sight.
“If it were that simple, every man would be a billionaire p>
Zachary thought to himself, ‘Ms. Sox has a good eye…’ Jasmine undoubtedly came from a wealthy family. To ordinary people,
The Soxes were wealthy and regarded as local tycoons. They earned hundreds of thousands each month from rent collection. It was this affluent background that allowed Aunt Rachel to marry into a wealthy family.
Zachary made a mental note that if he attended another dinner party, he would need to avoid the Soxes and the Lowes; he didn’t want them revealing his identity to Serenity. As the head of the Yorks, the richest family in Wiltspoon, he wished to disclose his true identity to Serenity personally, without interference from others.
“Our boss is quite busy. It’s challenging for me to meet him unless it’s for a formal meeting. After all, I’m not part of the company’s top management. Even if I attended a meeting, I would be seated at the end of the table. Additionally, my eyesight isn’t great, so I can’t see his face clearly p>
