Chapter 753


    “How have you two been getting along since getting the marriage license?” Ben pried.


    He was swept into a whirlwind marriage with Jane, but they had known each other for eleven years.


    At least, they were old acquaintances.


    Besides, Ben had his eye on Jane from the very beginning. He had repressed his


    feelings for her and did not show affection of any kind as she was not of age. Things changed when


    Jane was pressured by her family to marry–she had to hire him as a boyfriend.


    Ben took the chance to set Jane up and make their contractual rtionship official.


    He and Jane got married knowing each other, but it was different from Zachary who married aplete


    stranger.


    Ben had a yen for some hot gossip.


    “I made it clear to my nana before going ahead with the marriage that I could marry her, but it was my


    business how I managed the marriage thereafter. My nana wasn’t to interfere.


    “I didn’t tell my wife who I was, so I could observe her in her raw moments and see if she was as


    independent as Nana said she was. At first… we weren’t used to having each other around.”


    It even slipped his mind more than a handful of times that he had a wife.


    She too was not ustomed to being someone’s spouse.


    There had been a few frictions, but they got through them throughmunication.


    “Then you got used to having her around and developed feelings for her after spending time together?


    It can be scary when you get used to something or someone. They kind of grow on you.”


    It was hard to lose someone, perhaps even fearful to lose after the person had been present in one’s


    life.


    Zachary nodded again.


    “Our rtionship can’t be in a better ce now. I admit that I’ve fallen in love with her.”


    Well, he said he would never go after Serenity, but here he was.


    “I’m conflicted as to whether I shoulde clean to her about who I really am. Will she be angry and


    leave me for being honest with her? One more thing, her cousin was my admirer who publicly


    professed her love and pursued me. My wife even helped her cousin to win my heart because she was


    unaware of my identity.”


    “Blegh-”


    Remy spat out a mouthful of tea.


    The two CEOs turned to stare at Remy.


    Remy hurriedly pulled a napkin to wipe the table. While clearing his throat, Remy embarrassedly smiled


    and uttered, “Sorry. Sorry. I couldn’t help myself.”


    That was hrious of the Yorks‘ missus. She actually helped her love rival to chase after her husband.


    Ben was dying tough, but he was able to pull himself together unlike Remy.


    “How close are the cousins?”C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    Zachary answered, “Her cousin only came into the picture recently. She’s Elisa, the heiress of the


    Stones. Mrs. Stone had been searching for her sister, who is also my mother–inw. I feel like a deer


    in headlights to have a cringy and cliché story happening to me in real life.


    “My wife’s close to her cousin. I showed off my wedding band to Ms. Stone, and she stopped harassing


    me once she realized I was married. However, it would take time before she could let go of her feelings


    for me. Clive met with me after catching on about me and my wife. He wants me to keep it that way


    because Ms. Stone might not be able to handle the truth.


    “I want to be truthful with my wife now, but I fear she might be able to ept it. Worse still if she feels


    guilty and sorry for Ms. Stone since her cousin likes me.”
