Married at First Sight Chapter 754

Chapter 754

“Mr. Young–Johnson, you’ve been through this. I need your advice. How did you confess your identity to your wife? What was her reaction when she learned the truth? What actions did you take that led her to fully accept you without the influence of outside factors?”

Ben finally uncovered the core of Zachary’s internal struggle.

Zachary lacked the courage to be honest because he feared the potential harm it would cause his wife.

He had also entangled himself in a complicated situation with the heiress of the Stones.

If mishandled, Ms. Stone could become jealous, leading to a rift between the cousins or even turning them against each other.

This would ultimately create a divide between Zachary and his wife.

Taking a sip of tea, Ben said, “Mr. York, my situation differs from yours. Although my wife and I rushed into marriage, I prepared her for it. I had a crush on her for eleven years and managed to convince her to obtain a marriage license with me.”

“In principle, we did marry in haste, but we had known each other for eleven years. While Jane didn’t know much about me, I was well-acquainted with her. In fact, I had my own agenda.”

“You and your wife transitioned from strangers to spouses, so you were unfamiliar with each other. I imagine you were cautious of her at the beginning of your marriage. You might have even suggested signing a contract.”

A suspicious flush crept onto Zachary’s handsome face.

They had certainly walked a similar path. Ben had made an accurate guess about the contract.

Zachary replied in a husky voice, “I had the wrong impression of my wife and remained guarded around her for a long time. We signed an agreement that restricted her… The only things she would receive were our marital home and my car if our marriage ended. It was meant to compensate her for the time and energy she invested.”

Ben asked,

“Does the contract still exist? Jane and I signed one too, but I nullified the agreement. I didn’t want to be bound by it now that our names are on the marriage license.”

Zachary realized he had come to the right person.

He had successfully discarded the contract, ensuring that no party was obligated to it.

“I burned the contract to ashes and flushed the remnants down the toilet. She won’t be able to find the agreement unless she can turn back time.”

Ben chuckled. “That sounds just like something you would do.”

He had destroyed the contract and ensured that no evidence remained.

“Jane was shocked when she found out about me. I didn’t tell her; my nemesis, Yves, exposed me. She thought she was out of my league and wanted a divorce.”

Color drained from Zachary’s face.

“How did you convince your wife not to go that route?”

Ben and Jane were now the most loving and adorable couple.

They were also expecting a baby.

Zachary envied Ben and hoped to navigate his marital crisis as successfully as Ben had. He envisioned growing old with Serenity, surrounded by their children and grandchildren.

“I took practical steps to show there was no divide between us. I demonstrated that my family accepts her for who she is. I made a real effort to show my love and that I could bring her happiness. I supported whatever she wanted to do and found ways to address any issues she had. Gradually, she began to trust me more, and I became someone she could rely on.

“Of course, I’ve known Jane for over a decade, so that made it easier. You can learn from me, Mr. York, but it won’t be an easy journey for you as building a relationship and trust takes time.

“Your wife will have to confront the fact that her cousin has feelings for you sooner rather than later.”

or later. I think you should take into account how her cousin might react. You are a competent and protective man, Mr. York, and I trust that you will keep your wife safe from harm.

“Mr. York, the truth will eventually come to light. She will discover it in due time. I strongly suggest that you be honest with your wife as soon as you can.”
