After a while, Clive asked, “How did Serenity react after she learned of your identity? Her phone has been off, so I can’t get through.”
Zachary said sarcastically, “You’re not close with your cousin because you haven’t spent much time bonding with her, huh? I could already get through Seren’s phone last night. You claimed that her phone had been off, but how many times have you tried to call her?
“Why should I tell you her reaction? That’s our business. It has nothing to do with you.”
Even though Mrs. Stone was Serenity’s aunt, they had not spent much time bonding with each other. Their relationship was new.
To him, only his sister-in-law had the right to tell him off.
The Stones had no right to do so.
Clive was at a loss for words.
After being quiet for a while, Clive continued, “Zachary, sorry to bother you today. I might sound selfish for considering Elisa’s feelings and not Serenity’s.
“You know Serenity better than I do. You should know her temper. After she learned of your identity, it would be great if she had accepted it joyfully. If she was angry, don’t blame her. Give her some time to think about it.
“Indeed, I don’t know her very well. But I feel that a person who has lost her parents and can yet remain cheerful shows that she’s tough and sees things positively. I believe she can still calmly face the distrust between the two of you.”
When Clive spoke up for Serenity, Zachary remained silent instead.
Seeing that Zachary was silent, Clive stopped speaking. A deathly hush descended upon the office.
Sometime later, Zachary suddenly asked Clive in a deep voice, “When your wife gave up pursuing you back then, how did you make her change her mind and continue loving you?”
