Married at First Sight Chapter 648

Chapter 648

Clive had this in mind, so when his sister mentioned that Serenity’s husband had the last name York, he did not consider Zachary. While the York family had a rich heritage spanning multiple generations, they originally came from the countryside, where it was said that everyone shared the surname York.

Clive was unsure if Zachary’s ancestors had brought the townspeople with them when they prospered in the city. However, he was aware that many employees with the surname York worked at York Corporation headquarters and its branches, most of whom were unrelated to Zachary and merely shared the same last name.

“That’s why I called you. I want you to find a way to discreetly ask Serenity what her husband’s name is. Keep it from Mom and Elisa; you know Elisa hasn’t completely moved on from her feelings for Zachary,” Clive instructed.

“Mom just reconnected with Serenity and Liberty, so it’s best to keep this from her for now. I’m not sure how she’ll react if Serenity’s husband turns out to be Zachary. She’s focused on helping her two nieces at the moment, but her affection for Elisa is stronger.”

“Even our affection leans towards Elisa. After all, she is my sister, while Serenity is just a cousin we’ve recently reconnected with; we don’t even have a sibling bond yet.”

Clive continued in a lowered voice, “Elisa mentioned that Serenity always refers to her husband as Mr. York when they’re together. She has never disclosed his name. Interestingly, Elisa also refers to Zachary as Mr. York in front of other girls and doesn’t use his first name either.”

“I believe that’s likely the case. They both seem unaware that they are talking about the same man.”

Alice paused before saying, “Clive, it sounds like you’ve already concluded that Serenity’s husband is…”

Zachary. “Serenity’s closest friend is Mrs. Lowe’s niece, and the heir of the Lowe family often visits Serenity’s shop. How is it possible that Serenity doesn’t even mention her husband’s name in front of Mr. Lowe and the others?”

Clive replied, “You might not understand the York family’s approach to education, so it’s normal for you to think that way.

“The children of the York family are well protected until they enter society, so outsiders are unaware of their appearances or names. They attend schools like everyone else, which keeps their true identities hidden.

“Zachary’s first business reception was a decade ago when his grandmother took him to one. It marked his official debut. When Old Mrs. York attends such events, the other guests are typically wealthy and influential. She only introduced Zachary to those prominent figures.

“After that, Zachary gradually took over York Corporation, and everyone began addressing him as Mr. York. Among the younger generation, only those close to the York family know his name.

“He is also very protective of his privacy. If Elisa weren’t part of the Stone family, she wouldn’t even be able to discover Zachary’s name, let alone pursue him.

“Mr. Lowe might not realize that Serenity’s Zachary is Zachary York, or he might just think it’s a coincidence of names. After all, no one would expect Serenity’s husband to be the renowned Zachary York. Given his personality, would you really think he’d marry out of the blue?”

Alice shook her head. “I can’t believe he is Serenity’s husband, yet you mentioned that you saw Serenity’s ring matching Zachary’s.”

Even though the doubts came from her husband, she still found it hard to accept.

Clive said, “I hope I’m just overthinking this. If Serenity’s husband truly turns out to be…

“Zachary… Alice, if Serenity’s husband is indeed Zachary, we must keep this a secret. It’s not for Zachary’s benefit, but for Elisa.”
