Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 5568

It took Devon two decades of giving Chloe his all to earn the Johnson elders’ approval.

He was not the only childhood friend Chloe had growing up. There was Laurence, Sonny, et cetera, but Devon was from Annenburg, which gave him the proximity advantage.

Laurence was Chloe’s brother in name, and they were not related by blood. Even so, Laurence treasured Chloe deeply and doted on her very much. If not for the fact that Noelle came along later and grew up with Laurence, Devon would worry that Laurence might come to view Chloe in a romantic light.

Luckily, Noelle came along.

Devon internally thanked Noelle.

Devon had another advantage, the biggest one in fact, was that his mother and Chloe’s mother were decades-long besties. Jane only felt at ease handing over her precious daughter to Devon because she trusted her good friend.

“Not really, my elders are all very open-minded and amiable people.”

Chloe felt that her family was all really good people.

Devon chuckled, “They are, but that’s under the premise that whoever isn’t pursuing you. The moment there’s even a hint of such an intention, do you think they’d still be that open-minded?

“You don’t know how many admirers of yours they’ve secretly scared off ever since you started high school.

“Your brothers and I have chased off quite a few, too. Whoever shows a hint of a crush on you will immediately have their entire ancestry dug out.”

Chloe was speechless because she had not known that.

“What did you bring for me?” Chloe asked curiously, spotting the exquisite bag.

It probably was not jewelry.
