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 because 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.
As 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.
