“Why are you so stubborn?”
“Yeah, I’m just that stubborn.”
Clive was exasperated.
“Zachary won’t develop feelings for you, and the York family won’t pick you either.”
He analyzed for his sister. “Old Mrs. York is an adult child. Out of her nine grandchildren, except for the youngest two who aren’t at marriageable age yet, the remaining seven are ready to get married. She’s looking forward to her grandchildren getting married.
“It’s been some time since you publicly professed to Zachary, but what did Old Mrs. York do? She did nothing. It’s as if she doesn’t know that you’re pursuing Zachary. Do you know why? It’s because she doesn’t want you as her eldest granddaughter-in-law.
“Otherwise, with her personality, she’ll definitely encourage Zachary if she knows that someone is openly pursuing him. She might even do something excessive like wrapping him up and sending him to your bed so you two can do the deed. That way, she’ll be able to have a great-grandchild as soon as possible.
“If Zachary and you sleep together, both the York and Stone families will tell Zachary to take responsibility for you even if he doesn’t want to marry you as a wife.”
Zachary was a very responsible man.
Maybe that was why he always went around with an entourage of bodyguards who maintained a protective circle three meters around him, not allowing young women to approach him unless they were relatives. It was because he was afraid that someone would try to use this method to get him.
Elisa said, “...Maybe Old Mrs. York doesn’t know that I’m pursuing Zachary.”
“Just keep lying to yourself. Do you know who Old Mrs. York was when she was young? She was the boss of an intelligence circle. There’s nothing that can slip past her unless it’s something she doesn’t want to know. Your public confession to Zachary made the trending news. Old Mrs. York is neither blind nor deaf, so there’s no way she doesn’t know that you like Zachary.
