Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 5564

Sonny asked about Laurence's love life with concern in his voice.

Laurence's smile faded slightly. "Noelle gave me an answer. She said she's willing to give us a try, but she's not very confident about it. I think those old guys telling her that she wasn't good enough for me made her hesitate a little, even though I shut them down immediately.

"But compared to before, it's a huge improvement. At least she didn't reject me outright and is willing to give us a chance."

"That's good. You two grew up together, and you've only ever had eyes for each other. As long as she's willing to accept that your relationship is changing, that's all that matters. The feelings are already there. You just need to change the nature of your relationship."

Laurence hummed. "That's right. I'm already satisfied. Back then, I was terrified she'd be stubborn about it and refuse to change anything.

"I'll protect her and won't let anyone bully her. I'm the head of the Longbottom family. If I can't even protect my own woman, how am I supposed to lead the family into the future?"

Tony and several family elders had tried to use Laurence’s marriage against him. They wanted to introduce wealthy young women from prominent families in Havenmill to him, clearly intending to stop him from being with Noelle. Their argument was that she was not good enough for him.

He had shut them down so thoroughly that they left with their tails between their legs. Since then, no one dared to say that Noelle was unworthy of him.

As for what people said, Laurence did not care if they did it behind his back. Of course, he would not show any mercy if anyone went too far. Anyone who spoke badly about Noelle had their business ties with him cut off. He would even suppress their companies and treat them as enemies.

After several companies had their business relationships severed, people quickly realized that Noelle was Laurence's weak spot. Even those who looked down on her or were jealous of her no longer dared to show it, much less say anything openly.

They also did not dare to talk about her in private anymore, afraid someone would pass their words along to Laurence.

Laurence was extremely protective and showed no regard for any others’ feelings when it came to the people he cared about. Noelle was his beloved. Speaking ill about her was likened to giving him the same treatment.
