We’ll discuss what we ate and where we went for fun, alright? I can handle all of that for you.
“Seren, I understand that your sister’s failed marriage has significantly impacted you. You’re worried that I might turn out to be a scumbag like Hank, right? Don’t worry—I promise I won’t! Even if you gain weight in the future, I won’t dislike you.
“I love you for who you are. I can accept both your strengths and flaws.
“What kind of contract do you want us to sign? Are you planning to end our marriage if you can’t fit into my social circle? You’re just pretending. Deep down, you want to leave me. You’re still upset with me for lying.”
Serenity nearly lost her temper several times but managed to hold it back.
She repeatedly told herself, ‘Endure, Seren. Endure!’
His domineering nature and stubbornness weren’t something she could change with just a few words.
He didn’t think beyond his own perspective; he only recognized himself as the eldest son of the York family. With him around, she could do anything she wanted in Wiltspoon.
He was solely focused on the fact that he had enough money to support her and their family. All she needed to do was continue being his wife, and there was no need for her to worry about anything else.
She felt like a canary in a gilded cage.
However, Serenity acknowledged that her sister’s failed marriage had deeply affected her.
Hank and her sister met twelve years ago, fell in love for seven years, and were married for over three. They had been together longer than Zachary and Serenity had known each other. Hank had treated her sister exceptionally well in the beginning. Everything Zachary was saying now, Hank had once said to Liberty.
He claimed he could provide for her and their little family.
And in the end?
They exchanged vows to stay together until death do them part, but they ultimately ended up…
divorcing after only seven years.
