Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 3932

Married At First Sight Chapter 3932
Chapter 3932

At least for now, no one had connected Fox to Abby. Bianca? That connection was easier to make.
Fox tilted her head, her voice laced with subtle mockery. “What’s wrong with Abby? Why don’t you pursue her? I seem to recall you gave it a shot for a while.”
Evan held her gaze steadily. “Abby is amazing. I pursued her because Grandma wanted me to, and I trusted her judgment. But no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t stop thinking about you. My heart never felt anything for Abby.”
He paused, his expression serious. “Marriage is for life, especially for the men in my family. York men don’t divorce. If I were to marry someone I don’t truly love, I’d either live a lie or end up the first York man to ever file for divorce. Grandma wouldn’t just break my legs—she’d disown me, and I’d end up taking her surname instead.” The weight of his words lingered, and Fox studied him quietly.
Evan continued, “Before marriage, Grandma lets us choose for ourselves. But once we’re married, we’re expected to commit fully—to love and honor our wives for life. Any man who cheats is cast out of the York family, with no claim to the family’s wealth or legacy.
“Divorce? It’s only permitted if the wife is unfaithful. But let’s be real—what woman would ever cheat on a York man? We’re raised to cherish our wives, spoil them, and treat them like queens. What kind of woman would give that up? Only a fool would leave a man who treats her like that.”
Fox’s expression remained unreadable, but Evan pressed on, his voice softening. “That’s why I made things clear to Abby. She’s incredible—strong, smart, and capable. I admire her as a person. But as a partner? My heart just isn’t in it.”
Abby, he admitted to himself, was everything a man could want—poised, successful, and driven. She even held a significant role in her family’s business, balancing strength and grace effortlessly.
If Evan hadn’t met Fox, he probably would’ve fallen for Abby.
But he had met Fox. And Abby, no matter how remarkable, wasn’t Fox.
Unless… Abby was Fox.
Fox’s voice broke the silence, sharp and direct. “So why have you been keeping an eye on the Du family’s second daughter lately?”
Her question hit its mark. Evan’s words had been smooth and calculated, but Fox wasn’t about to let him dodge reality. She laid it bare, effectively telling him she’d been aware of his every move since he arrived in Huyoniville.
It was a reminder—Evan might be clever, but he was no match for her.
Fox’s knowledge ran deep, thanks to her connections. Her senior brothers and sisters, each brilliant in their own right, had taught her well. Compared to them, she might have seemed like the underdog, but that wasn’t the full story.
Her upbringing in a wealthy, influential family came with its own weight and responsibilities. She’d returned to the Du family after graduation, taking on the burden of managing their business empire. But in her free time, she carved out another life—one that allowed her to wander the world under different identities, leaving a mark wherever she went.
Evan, on the other hand, leaned heavily on the Bucham family’s resources in Wiltspoon.
Fox smirked inwardly. She knew everything about Evan—his alliances, his tactics, and his weaknesses. He, however, knew next to nothing about her.
She relished the upper hand.
After all, he had toyed with her feelings once, only to reject her with cold indifference.
His dismissal had bruised her pride as Abby, leaving a scar she wasn’t about to forget.
Why had she, Abby Du, not been “enough” for him?
And now he had the audacity to pursue her again?
Fox almost laughed out loud. Get in line, Evan.
She had no shortage of admirers. In fact, there were far more accomplished and desirable men vying for her attention.
Evan York? He was just another name on a very long list.
