In other words, the couple would divorce and be free if Serenity could not fit into his social circle.
Is marriage solely about equal social status?
Zachary and his family have never looked down on Serenity. Why should she pressure herself and worry about others’ opinions?
He believed there was no divide between them!
His word should be sufficient!
“You can act as if nothing happened since you don’t remember. But there’s one thing you kept repeating all night: ‘Serenity, you’re not the only one for me.’ Are those your true feelings? You should talk to her when the sun rises. What are you trying to achieve by causing such a stir with us p>
With a heavy heart, Zachary forced a bitter smile. “Seren said a lot to me, Nana. She doesn’t want to be a helpless girl hiding under my wing. She wants to be a woman standing proudly beside me.
“Serenity desires shared interests. It’s not as if we have nothing in common to discuss. I’m not trying to treat her like a pet. She’s my wife. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to support my wife financially, but she wants to be self-sufficient.
“Many women would jump at the chance to marry me. I could have anyone in the world, but I choose Serenity. Why can’t she be like everyone else and enjoy the wealth and privilege I can offer? It’s understandable that she wants to be self-reliant if I can’t meet her expectations or if I fail in my duties as a husband.
“I have the resources to care for her and our family. Yet, she insists on discussing independence. She owns a shop and has her own income. Isn’t that enough? I never stopped her from running her business, nor did I ever ask her to stay home and be a traditional wife.
“She’s my wife, and no one has the audacity to disrespect her or give her attitude. With me around, she practically has Wiltspoon in the palm of her hand. I bet Elisa said something to her that sparked this situation. I always knew that woman was trouble; she’s trying to drive a wedge between me and Serenity p>
Poor Elisa—after all the good she said about Zachary. The attack was unjustified.
“You’re filled with anger because Serenity spoke to you about that, and your true feelings came out when you were drunk p>
Zachary replied, “Nana, I didn’t mean it. I spoke out of anger without thinking. You see how much I care for Serenity. I’m the heir of the York family, for goodness’ sake. I usually get everything I want. Yes, I made a mistake, but I apologized. She’s still p>
“My ego was bruised, and that’s why everything came out wrong p>
“Nana, please don’t tell Serenity that, or you’ll ruin your chances of having a great-granddaughter p>
Speaking of great-granddaughters, Zachary suddenly said, “We tried to make a baby after Aunt Flo left. I wonder if she’s pregnant p>
Grandma May looked at him and replied, “So what if she is? You don’t share the same values. What’s the point if you can’t communicate well? You’ll only end up fighting. Zachary, you haven’t figured anything out p>
“Do you even know what kind of woman Serenity is p>
Zachary fell silent.
“Go to her once you truly understand who she is. Otherwise, your relationship will just go in circles. Get upstairs and change. You need to give Serenity some space for now p>
Zachary reluctantly said, “Why can’t I visit my wife? What if someone steals her away p>
“The whole city knows she’s Mrs. York. Who would dare try to woo her?” Zachary mumbled.
“Something under his breath,” he muttered. “Are you going upstairs to change or what? No one’s going to force you to take a shot if you catch a cold.” With a grimace, Zachary turned on his heel and headed up the stairs. Did he truly not understand Serenity? She felt unworthy of him because of his wealth. Yet, what belonged to him was also hers.
Josh arrived at the gate of the Soxes’ residence. After stepping out of the car, he checked his appearance in the side mirror. Satisfied with how he looked, Josh retrieved the gift he had purchased from the back seat. He approached the front door and pressed the doorbell. The Soxes’ watchdogs barked and rushed at the sound.
