Zachary felt the need to keep his feelings for Serenity concealed. He could openly express his affection for her in front of Clive, but he needed to be cautious. Once he returned from his business trip, Zachary planned to behave impeccably during dinner with Clive, as he wanted to avoid any attempts by Clive to undermine him in Serenity’s eyes, given Clive was her cousin.
As for acknowledging Clive as the older cousin, Zachary knew it wasn’t like Clive would retaliate if he chose not to recognize him.

“Brother-in-law,” he said.
“That’s a silly approach. You should start with your mother-in-law, or rather, your future father-in-law. Connecting with your mother-in-law is usually easier; mothers-in-law often warm up to their sons-in-law quite quickly.”
Josh pursed his lips and replied with a smile, “I’ll cultivate a relationship with all of them. Jasmine will have no choice but to fall into my arms when the entire family puts on the pressure.”
“Knock, knock.”
Someone was at the door.
