“Before, he mentioned that he would soon be on holiday and would only be available to visit you after the New Year.”
Audrey hummed in response and reminded Serenity to drive carefully before ending the call.
“Zachary York. Zachary York!”
Audrey gritted her teeth. Alice, noticing her mother-in-law’s grim expression, cautiously asked, “Mom, could it be that they just share the same name?”
“Serenity might think it’s just a coincidence, but do you believe that too? What are the odds? The eldest son of the wealthy York family is named Zachary York. While young people might not know him, I certainly do.”
“Elisa never had the chance to meet Serenity’s husband. I suspect it’s because he’s deliberately avoiding her.”
Audrey felt a mix of admiration and resentment toward Zachary. To her, her daughter was the best and deserving of Zachary. Yet, he didn’t even glance at Elisa, leaving her trapped in unrequited love for years.
Zachary seemed to dismiss her daughter while marrying her niece instead. Audrey struggled to articulate her feelings about the situation.
Putting aside her daughter’s infatuation with Zachary, she worried about her niece marrying him. She feared that Serenity might struggle to fit into Zachary’s social circle.
Regardless of how humble and easygoing the York family might be, they were still the wealthiest family in Wiltspoon. The education they received, the society they mingled with, and the friends they made were all foreign to Serenity.
The backgrounds of Serenity and Zachary were completely mismatched. Although their relationship was improving and love might allow them to overlook many practical issues for now, would Zachary still be able to lead a normal life with Serenity once the initial passion faded?
in the future?”
Serenity likely had no idea that Zachary was the head of the York family; otherwise, she wouldn’t have taught Elisa how to pursue him.
Alice refrained from speaking, as her mother-in-law was extremely angry at that moment.
“Go to the company, Alice.”
Audrey was furious when she learned that her nephew-in-law was Zachary, but she chose not to impulsively share this news with her daughter.
Instead, she decided to visit the office to discuss it with her eldest son.
“Now? I’m not sure if Clive is available,” Alice remarked as she started the car.
Audrey replied with a stern expression, “Even if he’s busy, he’ll make time for me if I go over.”
Understanding better than to argue further, Alice drove in silence.
