Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2862

Julian forced a nervous smile and said, “I went to the gym, and Quinn mentioned she had something to do and went out. I thought she went home.

“Anyway, is there anything I can help with?”

Zoey sat on the couch, and as she turned on the TV she said, “We’re having Italian tonight, and all the ingredients are ready. You don’t need to do anything else. Julian, come over and chat with me.”

“Oh, sure.”

Julian was happy to chat with Zoey. He believed that the better he behaved, the more his future mother-in-law would like him.

Julian poured a cup of water for Zoey and then sat down across from her with a warm smile on his handsome face. He asked, “What would you like to talk about?”

“Just casual chatting. Talk about daily life, talk about children. As a housewife, these are the only things I can talk about.”

Zoey put down the TV remote, looked at Julian, and suddenly asked, “Julian, you’re in your thirties and still haven’t dated or married. Is it because your parents have high expectations? The girls you like, do your parents disapprove of them, so you’re rebellious and don’t want to date or get married?”

Julian’s dark eyes flickered. Zoey rarely asked him such a question, and suddenly brought this up... Did Quinn come back, and did the mother and daughter talk? Maybe Quinn informed her mother about his sudden confession.

Was it Quinn or Zoey worried that the way to the Bucham family might not be easy?

“To be honest with you, my parents are very anxious. Their only requirement for my marriage is that the partner must be a woman. As long as I’m willing to get married, they’re content. Their requirements for a daughter-in-law are really not high.”

“While that’s what they’re telling you but when you truly meet a girl you like, and she’s not the type your parents favor, their attitude will change. People are like that. When they don’t have something, they want it. Once they have it, they want something better, and they become picky.”

It was human nature to want more. People’s hearts could never be truly satisfied.
