Chapter 934
Much as Zachary wished to maintain his current relationship with Serenity so she could be happy and relaxed, he did not say anything else. She took pity on Serenity as she was changing her life for his sake.
However, he could not bring himself to let her go.
He would attend social gatherings occasionally to make an appearance, but he would soon leave. As for the women in his family, everyone would admire and flatter them ladies whenever they showed up. Hence, it would be impossible for them to get bullied.
Nevertheless, there was one point Zachary would not overlook, namely that his mother and aunts grew up in wealthy families.
His mother’s and aunts‘ marriages with the Yorks were considered well–matched.
At the thought of Serenity’s circumstances, Zachary gradually came to understand her persistence.
Zachary held Serenity’s hand.
To save his dignity in front of her aunt, Serenity did not shake his hand off.
Zachary was just holding her hand tightly without saying a word.
After staying at the Stones‘ place for a while, he had to return to the office, so he took his leave. Serenity held Sonny’s hand while walking to see Zachary off.
Zachary walked steadily and slowly with the intention of having a talk with Serenity.
“Seren, I think I don’t understand you well enough. I’ll learn more about you and put myself in your shoes,” Zachary said tenderly.
“Having said that, I greatly sympathize with you. If you’re tired of learning to blend in with my circle, you can remain in your current state. I can choose not to attend any social gatherings, but I can’t afford to lose you.
“My wife doesn’t need to be at anyone’s mercy.”
“I won’t be at anyone’s mercy, but I just don’t want to be the object of ridicule and hold you back.”
