Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 3227

Grandma May stared at Dylan in silence.

Since the truth was out, he simply spoke his mind and revealed everything.

The reason he returned to the manor was to tell her everything. He could not marry the woman she picked for him like his brothers did.

He had someone else he wanted to pursue.

After Dylan spoke, Grandma May sighed. She said, “You have a point. It’s better to end things earlier. Ms. Doyle’s feelings for you shouldn’t be that deep yet. You should talk to her and make her give up. It’s better that way.

“Don’t hold her back.”

After a pause, she continued, “Are you really not going to consider Ms. Doyle anymore? You don’t believe in my choice?”

Dylan said, “I trust your eye for people, Nana. Ms. Doyle is great, but I don’t have romantic feelings for her. Even if I do marry her, we’ll only be husband and wife who respect one another without any love between us.

“She's smart. She definitely doesn’t want a future like that either.

“Love can’t be forced, Nana. There’s no other way to describe it.”

Grandma May agreed. “Okay. Since you say so, I won’t interfere with your relationship anymore. You can do whatever you want and pursue whoever you want. However, I must stress that the girl you marry must be of good character.

“Even if she isn’t that good, she can’t be too bad. She must be at least passable. Don’t ruin the York family’s reputation. If you insist on marrying a girl with bad character, I won’t stop you, but I’ll break off all ties with you and kick you out of the family. You won’t be a York anymore.”

Grandma May would never allow a bad apple into the family.

The family’s reputation was built by generations, as well as her and her husband’s efforts.

She could not let Dylan ruin it.
