Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2341

Julian said, “Ms. Crawford, you don’t have to be so polite. We’re friends now, and you also saved my life.”

Quinn smiled. “Okay. Let’s not be too polite with each other. I find it awkward too. I prefer being casual, so being overly courteous makes me uncomfortable. You don’t have to keep mentioning that I’m your savior too, Mr. Bucham. I simply lent a hand by fighting while I was on a stroll after a meal.”

Both of them laughed.

Since Quinn had no intention of getting out of the car to admire the flowers, Julian drove straight up the hill.

He guessed Quinn did not fancy flowers much.

The car stopped midhill. Quinn spotted a security post that was meant to carry out car inspections.

The security guards stationed at the post allowed Julian’s car to pass as soon as they saw him.

Quinn was curious. “Why is there a roadblock?”

“Well, Wildridge Manor belongs to the York family. Outsiders are prohibited from entering. There used to be only one security post at the manor’s gates. However, since Zachary and Serenity married, many people have been trying to reach the hilltop to pry into their private life.

“Zachary added a roadblock midhill for the manor’s safety. The guards are on a three-shifts rotation for twenty-hours daily. Those not granted permission can only move freely around and before the midhill mark.”

Quinn replied with a hum. She suddenly realized how complicated wealthy families were. Even their movements were restricted.

Luckily, she was only there for a tour and would leave shortly after. She would not feel restrained.

When that thought flashed across Quinn’s mind, she laughed mockingly at herself. Not just anyone could marry into wealthy families. Why was she overthinking when she had no chance of her freedom being restrained? Besides, she did not want to marry into a prominent family and would be content with an ordinary one.

Quinn was the daughter of a family that owned a gym and had been learning martial arts since she was a kid. Although she was pretty and well-mannered, men who knew her background would never consider her as their partner.

Once, a matchmaker tried to introduce a guy to her. However, he was unwilling to even meet her after knowing she was trained in martial arts from a young age. He said he was afraid of being domestically abused.
