“I was really angry when I first found out that you lied to me... Forget it. Let’s put that aside for now. Look at yourself. It’s like your hair is standing on end. I’m still angry, and I haven’t calmed down yet, but everyone is speaking up for you and pleading your case.”
Even her best friend, who was on her side, spoke up for him.
“You have the right to be angry, Seren. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have concealed it from you for so long. I couldn’t even confess to you in person and chose another way to let you find out... It was Remy who suggested that!”
If Remy were here, he would say, “You were the one who came to me for advice.”
After a moment of silence, Serenity said, “In the end, it’s because you don’t trust me enough.”
“Seren, I admit that I used to distrust you and guard against you. I thought you were after my money. Now, I absolutely believe in your character.”
Serenity was silent again and looked up at him. With a heart split between hesitance and certainty, she asked, “Zachary, can we sign another contract?”
Before Zachary could speak, she continued, “I got angry after finding out your true identity, but that anger is secondary now. What I should consider more is the gap between us. You’re the eldest young master of the York family. You’re someone who was born into a family that has assets worth billions, but I’m just an ordinary woman with no parents. My relatives are all sorry excuses for humans too. I have no skills, and I’m completely mismatched with you in every aspect.”
“Serenity!” Zachary interjected solemnly.
He said grimly, “No matter what your status is, I’ve decided that it has to be you! I don’t look down on you. As long as I think you’re a match for me, then you are. Don’t put yourself down like that.”
“I’m not putting myself down. I’m just stating the facts.”
