Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 755

Chapter 755

“It’s better you tell her the truth than she realizes it or hears it from someone else.”

Ben had been there.

Jane might not have reacted so strongly if he had been honest with her.

It meant that he trusted her to bare his soul to her.

Since Jane got the news from Yves‘ mouth, Jane believed Ben had no confidence in her and walked on eggshells around her. Plus, his mother–in–law was convinced there was a social gap between them. Worried Jane would be treated like dirt by the Johnsons, his mother–in-law was once against the marriage.

“She’ll take it that you trust her if it comes from your mouth, but the moment she finds out from someone else… She’ll be angrier by the minute, thinking the whole world but she knows about it. The deceit won’t sit well with her. In fact, she’ll conclude it to be a lack of trust and confidence.

“Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”

With Serenity’s temper coming into mind, Zachary timidly uttered, “I sounded her out to see under what circumstances she would leave me. She said she’ll go for divorce if I ever cheat, abuse, or lie to her multiple times.

“I started off with a lie, but I had to make up more stories to cover up for that one lie. I have lied to her multiple times. I even told her I was away on business to attend your wedding.”

Ben replied, “I’d still recommend coming clean to her. I can’t guarantee how your wife would react to it though. We both might be quick to sign the marriage papers, but our situations are different.

“Mr. York, you can’t escape what’s to come. You might as well face it head–on.”

Zachary fell silent.

“Maybe you can go back and have a think about it. You can pick a good time and date and be truthful to her in a different way.”

After much thought, Zachary thanked Ben. “Thank you for your advice, Mr. Young- Johnson. I’ll examine my options.”
