ahead of your peers. After all, many people struggle for a lifetime just to purchase a single house.
Aside from Rowan, everyone else in the York family has substantial private businesses.
Not to mention Zachary—he owns numerous large and small companies entirely on his own.
Serenity smiled and remarked, “Right now, I’m only investing in the vegetable farm, which I joined Elisa in. I also need to learn more—I can’t be the worst head missus in your family.”
Zachary affectionately replied, “You have me. As long as I’m here, I won’t let you be the worst head missus in our family. I told you I would transfer all my properties to you so that you could manage them, but you declined.”
“How about you start by helping to manage our private properties as a couple?”
“Do we have a lot of private properties?”
“Not really.”
Serenity was taken aback by his words.
His definition of “not really” could be surprising.
Zachary led Serenity into a summer house and settled in front of a wooden table.
Serenity couldn’t help but lean her head on his shoulder. “Babe, I’m finally starting to feel like I’m becoming part of your family.”
This was because her in-laws had begun to prepare her to take over the family’s internal businesses.
Zachary held her close and said, “It was my mistake to hide my identity in the beginning; I was afraid to let you know everything. You wanted a divorce when you discovered who I am… Now that things are good, I fear revealing too soon that you have a significant burden, worried that you might want to leave again.”
“Seren, in our family, once goods are sold, they can’t be returned. You’ll have to tolerate me for life, whether I’m good or bad.”
Serenity found his words amusing.
“You’re handsome and wealthy, yet you’re…”
“Are you afraid of being returned? Even if you were returned a hundred times, many women would still line up to marry you.”
“I don’t want anyone else but you,” Zachary declared.
His feelings were clear; he only desired Serenity.
In relationships, he was emotionally reserved and not easily swayed. Once he made up his mind, it was difficult for him to change it.
Thinking about emotional detachment reminded him of Julian.
“Seren, do you still remember what Julian mentioned about his hypoactive sexual desire disorder?”
