Chapter 934
Much as Zachary wished to maintain his current rtionship with Serenity so she could be happy and
rxed, he did not say anything else. She took pity on Serenity as she was changing her life for his
sake.
However, he could not bring himself to let her go.
He would attend social gatherings asionally to make an appearance, but he would soon leave. As
for the women in his family, everyone would admire and tter themdies whenever they showed up.
Hence, it would be impossible for them to get bullied.
Nevertheless, there was one point Zachary would not overlook, namely that his mother and aunts grew
up in wealthy families.
His mother’s and aunts‘ marriages with the Yorks were considered well–matched.
At the thought of Serenity’s circumstances, Zachary gradually came to understand her persistence.
Zachary held Serenity’s hand.
To save his dignity in front of her aunt, Serenity did not shake his hand off.
Zachary was just holding her hand tightly without saying a word.
After staying at the Stones‘ ce for a while, he had to return to the office, so he took his leave.
Serenity held Sonny’s hand while walking to see Zachary off.
Zachary walked steadily and slowly with the intention of having a talk with Serenity.
“Seren, I think I don’t understand you well enough. I’ll learn more about you and put myself in your
shoes,” Zachary said tenderly.
“Having said that, I greatly sympathize with you. If you’re tired of learning to blend in with my circle, you
can remain in your current state. I can choose not to attend any social gatherings, but I can’t afford to
lose you.
“My wife doesn’t need to be at anyone’s mercy.”
“I won’t be at anyone’s mercy, but I just don’t want to be the object of ridicule and hold you back.”
Zachary paused to look at her. He then said with a deep voice, “My reputation in Wiltspoon isn’t that
great. When do I actually care about those things? What matters is that I’m fine with my wife’s
background, and it’s none of their business. We’re not
relying on them either.”

Serenity’s eyes settled on him. A whileter, she stretched out her hand and caressed his face gently.
Then, she said softly, “We’re in the same boat, heading in the same direction. If both of us can’t face
hardships together, we’ll fall into the water and fail to reach the shore together.
“Even if we can’t stand at the bow together, we must hold onto the stern and not fall into the water.
“Zachary, give me some time to adapt to it. If I really can’t do it and blend in… I won’t force myself
either. If you refuse to get a divorce anytime soon, I won’t force you. If you ever think that I’m a drag
and dislike me, just let me know. I’ll immediately leave and not pester you.”
As long as she had done her level best, she would not regret it.
That was Serenity’s mindset.
Zachary could not be bothered about Sonny’s presence. He forcefully wrapped Serenity into his arms
and said in a husky voice, “We must never part!
“I’ve never gone back on my word. As long as you’re willing to cooperate, I’ll settle it. I can make you a
shareholder of York Corporation anytime, and you’ll be the richestdy in Wiltspoon. I’m willing to work
under you forever and let you get richer.”
Serenity sighed silently. She eventually put her hands around his waist.
This was her first time hugging him gently since she found out that he lied to her.
Although they were hugging, their hearts were so close yet so far from each other.
He was willing to sacrifice everything for her, while she was willing to work hard and learn to be more
outstanding for his sake. She hoped that she would be able to walk side by side with him one day,
rather than have him drag her along.
“Aunt Ser? Uncle Zak?”
The third wheel lifted his head and blinked his big eyes. Clueless, he rested his gaze on the two adults.
Serenity promptly pushed Zachary away. Subsequently, she bent over and carried Sonny. She then
said to Zachary, “You may leave for work.”
Zachary pinched Sonny’s face lightly. “You’re such a third wheel.”
