Love at first sight novel (Judith Cooper) novel Chapter 754

Chapter 754

“Mr. Young–Johnson, you’ve been through this. I need your advice. How did you confess to your wife about your identity? What was your wife’s reaction when she found out? What did you do that she wholeheartedly accepted you without running the risk of external factors?”

Ben finally got to the bottom of Zachary’s internal conflict.

Zachary did not have the guts to come clean because he feared the harm it would bring his wife.

He got himself in a sticky situation with the heiress of the Stones as well.

If handled wrongly, Ms. Stone might get jealous. The cousins may have a fallout or even turn against each other.

It would, in turn, come between Zachary and his wife.

Picking his cup for a sip of tea, Ben said, “Mr. York, my situation is different from yours though. Although my wife and I jumped into marriage right away, I set her up for it. I had a crush on my wife for eleven years. I fooled her into getting a marriage license with me.

“In principle, we did get married in haste, but we were acquainted for eleven years. Jane did not know much about me, but I knew her well. In fact, I had an agenda of my own.

“You and your wife went from strangers to husband and wife, so you knew nothing about each other. I bet you were wary of your wife at the start of your marriage. You might even propose to sign a contract.”

A suspicious flush rose upon Zachary’s handsome face.

They walked the same path for sure. Ben was able to guess about the contract.

Zachary uttered in a husky voice, “I got the wrong idea about my wife and kept my guard up against her for a long time. We signed an agreement, and the content was made to restrict her… The only things she was getting were our marital home and my car once our marriage ended. It was to compensate for her loss of time and energy.”

Ben asked, “Does the contract still exist? Jane and I signed a contract too, but I nullified the agreement. I didn’t want to be restricted by the contract now that I got our names on the marriage license.”
