Among her nine grandchildren, only the two youngest aren\u2019t of marriageable age yet; the other seven are ready to tie the knot. She eagerly anticipates their marriages.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cIt\u2019s been a while since you publicly declared your feelings for Zachary, but what has Old Mrs. York done? Nothing at all. It\u2019s almost as if she\u2019s oblivious to your pursuit of Zachary. Do you know why? Because she doesn\u2019t want you as her eldest granddaughter-in-law.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cOtherwise, given her personality, she would definitely encourage Zachary if she knew someone was openly pursuing him. She might even go so far as to wrap him up and send him to your bed, hoping to secure a great-grandchild as soon as possible. If you and Zachary were to sleep together, both the York and Stone families would insist that Zachary take responsibility for you, even if he doesn\u2019t want to marry you.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary was a very responsible man.<\/div>\n<div>Perhaps that\u2019s why he always surrounded himself with a group of bodyguards, maintaining a protective barrier of three meters around him to prevent young women from approaching unless they were relatives. He feared someone might try to manipulate him in this way.<\/div>\n<div>Elisa replied, \u201c\u2026Maybe Old Mrs. York doesn\u2019t even know I\u2019m pursuing Zachary.\u201d \u201cJust keep lying to yourself. Do you know who Old Mrs. York was in her youth? She was the head of an intelligence network. Nothing escapes her notice unless she chooses to ignore it. Your public\u2026<\/div>\n<p>The confession to Zachary became trending news. Old Mrs. York is neither blind nor deaf, so there\u2019s no way she doesn\u2019t know about your feelings for Zachary. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince she hasn\u2019t made a move, it indicates she doesn\u2019t see you as her eldest granddaughter-in-law. The York family is respectable, and their elders are open-minded. As long as the younger generation has partners they genuinely like, the elders won\u2019t interfere. However, winning over elders who don\u2019t like you after marriage can be quite challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElisa, listen to me. Stop pursuing Zachary. I acknowledge that he is exceptional, but he\u2019s not the right person for you. Continuing this way will only lead to your own hurt. He doesn\u2019t love you, so it won\u2019t affect him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pain only exists where love is present.<\/p>\n<p>Chasing someone who doesn\u2019t love you is like trying to breach an iron fortress\u2014an ultimately fruitless effort.<\/p>\n<p>Elisa replied sadly, \u201cClive, it\u2019s easy to fall in love with someone, but it\u2019s difficult to let go of someone you love deeply. It\u2019s not as if I haven\u2019t tried to move on. I\u2019ve attempted for several years, but I couldn\u2019t succeed. That\u2019s why I decided to make a public confession and pursue him wholeheartedly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe I should keep trying. Even if I fail, at least I can say I tried, and I won\u2019t regret it. If I give up without making an effort, it will always sting in my heart. I might miss out on someone I love, which is incredibly painful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clive grasped his sister\u2019s shoulders and said with concern, \u201cElisa, you\u2019ve already tried and seen the outcome. Zachary has never shown any warmth toward you; his heart is like ice when it comes to you. Continuing to pursue him will only lead to more hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are other people who want to marry you. Why waste your energy on someone who doesn\u2019t love you?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve only been pursuing him for a short while. Alice\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChased after you for even longer,\u201d she said. Clive was left speechless. His sister observed the entire scene of his wife pursuing him, which inspired her and gave her the courage to pursue Zachary in the same manner. \u201cClive, please help me investigate Zachary. I need to find out if he\u2019s wearing that ring to deceive me into giving up or if he\u2019s genuinely married. If it\u2019s the latter\u2026 I\u2019m willing to let go!\u201d As Elisa spoke the last two words, her heart felt as if it were being pierced by a thousand needles.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 340: \u201cWhy are you so stubborn?\u201d \u201cYeah, I\u2019m just that stubborn.\u201d Clive sighed in frustration. \u201cZachary will never develop [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12092\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
