Serenity did not struggle and quietly snuggled against his chest. Only after a few moments did she leave his embrace.
Her face was a little weird.
“There are many people around us.”
Zachary took her hand casually and led her forward. “We’re husband and wife, not having an affair. What are we afraid of?”
Serenity was speechless.
“It’s no wonder my sister always tells me to be nice to you.” He had already completely won over her sister.
After their sudden marriage, as the couple got along, Serenity realized that although this man had shortcomings, there were more advantages than disadvantages. Then again, everyone had their own shortcomings. She herself was also full of them.
When it came down to it, Zachary was so much better than that scumbag, Hank.
Serenity’s already restless heart once again stirred up into a frenzy for Zachary.
She had to find an opportunity to steal his copy of the agreement and destroy it. Then, she could tease him all she wanted. When she got him then and they became a real couple, he would not mention the six–month contract anymore.
She glanced at his face, which was as stoic as usual.
Serenity sighed. ‘It’s better if I train my heart to be stronger first. Otherwise, even if I strip him naked, my fire will be extinguished immediately by his cold face.’
“Then be nicer to me.”
“Am I not nice enough to you?”
Zachary pursed his lips and said nothing.
They both gave and took as a couple. Serenity was not the kind of person who only enjoyed other people’s kindness and did not return it.
If he treated her well, she would treat him just as well.
If he did her ten favors, she would also do ten favors for him. In short, she would never owe him anything.
If he wanted her to be better to him, he had to be better to her first.
A couple had to work together for their marriage to be long lasting.
“Where’s Nana and Mrs. Lane? I don’t see them anymore.”
Serenity remembered Grandma May and hurriedly asked Zachary, “You’re tall and can see further. Do you see them in front?”
Zachary looked ahead and replied, “I don’t see them, but it’s fine. Nana has been here several times and is familiar with the place. We’ll call her later and ask her to wait for us in the restaurant.”
This was their own property after all. Who would be more familiar with this place besides them?
Zachary was not at all worried that Grandma May would get lost.
He dared say that Grandma May and Mrs. Lane had walked ahead so quickly on purpose.
They deliberately pushed Sonny away and walked quickly because they wanted to leave the couple alone. They wanted the couple’s relationship to improve and taste the sweetness of dating.
Serenity was not dumb.
Grandma May and Mrs. Lane walked away to create an opportunity for the couple to be alone.
It was rare that Zachary did not act cold and reject her, so she enjoyed the taste of dating.
The couple held hands and strolled around the Oriental garden. Serenity especially liked this garden style with its antique colors and fragrance.
“Zachary.”
“Yeah?”
Zachary’s mind was not on the scenery. He kept stealing glances at the woman beside him.
When he heard Serenity call him, he stopped to look at her again with a straight face, as if he had been looking ahead the whole time instead of peeking at her.
“You work in York Corporation, so you should know what properties are under your company, right? How many resorts like this one did your boss invest in?”
Zachary thought about it and said, “Our company has branches in all major cities. We invest and operate in all kinds of industries, but only in two vacation resorts like this were invested in and built. That’s because it’s very difficult to choose a site, and the capital needed to invest in creating such a vacation resort is also pretty significant.
“This resort is wholly owned by our company, and the one far away in Jensburg is a joint venture with the richest family in Jensburg. Because of the long distance, they manage most of it while we have some shares for the dividends.”
Serenity looked around. She could not see the end of the Oriental garden, let alone the whole of the resort. Zachary also mentioned that they would only manage to scratch the surface even if they walked the whole day. It was clear how large the resort was.
“Your boss‘ family really is the richest in Wiltspoon. They’re so rich and powerful that they have properties everywhere.”
Zachary kept mum.
The York family had been operating in Wiltspoon for several generations, and their wealth was accumulated by that many generations as well. Furthermore, there were no members of the York family who were loafers, so their wealth only increased.
If he was asked how much money the York family had, he did not know either. In any case, the amount was in the hundreds
of billions.
Serenity suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
Zachary looked at her in confusion.
“Zachary, your last name is York, and you also work in York Corporation, but you’re just a manager while the other guy who shares your last name is the richest man in the city. You have to work hard! If other people know your last name, they’ll think that you’re the heir of the York family.”
Zachary laughed. “There are many rich men in the country, and even more people who share the same last name as them. How many of them are from the York family? There are also many people in the world who have the same first and last names.”
Serenity also laughed. “That’s true. People who hear that my last name is Hunt always ask if William Hunt is my ancestor. I checked, but my ancestors really have nothing to do with William Hunt. We just have the same last name.”
Zachary suddenly asked, “Serenity, if I was the heir of the York family and was a billionaire, would you believe it?”
Serenity laughed and said, “I’ll believe it if you have evidence, but I’ll never believe it if you can’t prove that you’re a billionaire.
“Billionaires aren’t ordinary people. Do you think you can find one just by strolling down the street? We got married out of convenience. If I ended up marrying a billionaire just like this, pigs might start flying.”
He worked in York Corporation and also had York as his last name, so it was easy for others to suspect that he was related to the richest man in the city. However, the car he drove, the house he lived in, and the daily expenses he spent with her were no different from that of ordinary people.
Furthermore, if he really were the heir of the York family, how could he marry her, a woman with no power or background?
Even if she saved his grandmother, he did not have to repay her by sacrificing his marriage, right?
It was said that the old ladies in the gentry were not easy to get along with, but Grandma May was affable, just like an ordinary old woman. She also usually dressed plainly and did not seem like she was part of the gentry at all.
