still extraordinarily handsome in her eyes.
For a moment, Elisa appeared smitten, but then she reminded herself not to dwell on her infatuation. After all, he was already someone else’s husband.
“Don’t worry, Mr. York. I’m not here to bother you today,” she said first. Standing tall, Elisa had nowhere to rest her hands, so she leaned against the car, using her arms for support. She looked at Zachary and continued, “Your display of affection has piqued my curiosity, so I shamelessly came here to ask which family your wife belongs to.
“Could you tell me so I can understand how I lost?”
Zachary replied quietly, “I’m sorry, but I prefer not to reveal my wife’s identity just yet. Given the media’s reaction yesterday, you should understand. My wife values a quiet and uneventful life, and I don’t want anyone disturbing her.”
Elisa nodded in agreement. “That’s true. The media can be absurd. They’re almost everywhere.”
Only someone like Zachary could drive the media wild without providing them with any answers.
Elisa genuinely envied Zachary’s wife. That woman must have done something remarkable in her past life to be so cherished by him in this one. Zachary went to great lengths to protect her, allowing her to enjoy the tranquil life she desired while bearing the title of Mrs. York.
Even if the world erupted over the news, she would remain serene as ever.
While the specifics of how Zachary pampered his wife weren’t public knowledge, his efforts to provide her with the life she wanted clearly demonstrated his deep love for her.
“Zachary, may I ask you something? Is she better than me?”
Zachary calmly replied, “In my eyes, she’s better than you.”
Elisa felt a pang of bitterness but managed to smile as she said, “I figured as much. She must indeed be better suited for you.”
You. That’s why you fell in love with her and kept her safe. She’s a fortunate woman, someone others may envy or resent.” Zachary paused for a moment before responding, “Ms. Stone, you’re not bad, but you’re not my type. There will be a good man out there who is better suited for you in the future.”
