Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Chapter 752
Ten minutes later, Ben showed up at the pergola.
“Mr. Young-Johnson.”
Zachary got up.
“I’m sorry to bother you.” Since Zachary was taking a flight back to Wiltspoon tonight, he had to steel himself and
intrude on Ben with the little time he had.
Ben smiled. “It’s fine. Do sit, Mr. York.”
Once Zachary had taken a seat, Ben gave his brother the go-ahead, and Remy told the butler to bring out a pot of
tea and snacks.
“I wonder how I can help you, Mr. York.”
Blushing in embarrassment, Zachary uttered, “Mr. York, it’s something personal. I need your advice on the matter
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbecause you and I basically rushed into our marriage.”
Ben had no idea Zachary got married on such short notice.
Remy had never informed the family of anything of that sort.
Ben looked at Zachary in surprise.
It was hard to believe that an aloof man like Zachary would choose the path of a whirlwind marriage.
“How long have you been married? Have you fallen in love with your wife?” Ben already had an answer in mind.
Zachary would not be in turmoil, nor would he disturb Ben on the day after his wedding if the former had not fallen
head over heels for his woman.
“We’ve been married for three months. She saved my nana’s life. My family was grateful for that fact and wanted
to make her time worthwhile. My nana took a shine. to her I guess because there haven’t been daughters and
granddaughters in the family.”
After a pause, Zachary added, “You can say my family is like yours. We have more boys than girls in the family.
“I had not met her prior to the marriage. Heck, I didn’t know who she was, but I was thankful that she saved Nana.
Somehow, everything changed not too long after. Nana only spoke highly of her in front of me, hoping she could
become an official member of the family.”
With his mind harking back to his nana’s daily nagging until he relented and signed the marriage papers, Zachary
carried on, “Out of all my brothers and cousins except the youngest two, anyone could have married her.
“But Nana specifically named me to marry her. I said no, of course. In fact, I was livid. I believed she was scheming
and was trying to gold-dig her way to riches and power under the excuse that she saved my nana’s life. Nana did
try to explain that it was all her own idea.
“I didn’t want to hear any of it and made up my mind that she was a gold digger. I told Nana many times not to be
fooled, but she wouldn’t listen. As the matriarch of the household, she demanded that I marry her.”
The days leading up to the marriage were a pain in the neck for Zachary.
His nana was the type who would not stop until she got what she wanted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Nana had her eye on Serenity and wanted Zachary to marry her, she would drill the thought into Zachary,
saying that he could repay Serenity’s life-saving kindness through marriage. His refusal to marry her would label
Zachary an ungrateful grandson.
Nana went to lengths to say that.
Zachary was born into privilege. With Nana forcing him into marriage, it would only mar his impression of Serenity
further.
Remy poured Zachary and his brother a cup of tea each before filling his own. He indulged in the canapés and
savored the tea as Zachary let everything out.
“And you agreed to marry the girl in the end?” Ben asked.
Zachary nodded. “My nana called me ungrateful, so my only choice at that point was to marry her.
“I told the girl the day we got our marriage license that we should keep our marital status under wraps since we did
not marry for love. I didn’t tell her that I’m the heir of the York family.”
Ben got the drift, which was Zachary keeping hush about who he was. It was just like when he had not been honest
with Jane about his identity.
