Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Married At First Sight Chapter 3932 Chapter 3932

At least for now, no one had connected Fox to Abby. Bianca? That connection was easier to make.

Fox tilted her head, her voice laced with subtle mockery. "What's wrong with Abby? Why don't you pursue her? I seem to recall you gave it a shot for a while."

Evan held her gaze steadily. "Abby is amazing. I pursued her because Grandma wanted me to, and I trusted her judgment. But no matter how much I tried, I couldn't stop thinking about you. My heart never felt anything for Abby."

He paused, his expression serious. "Marriage is for life, especially for the men in my family. York men don't divorce. If I were to marry someone I don't truly love, I'd either live a lie or end up the first York man to ever file for divorce. Grandma wouldn't just break my legs- she'd disown me, and I'd end up taking her surname instead." The weight of his words lingered, and Fox studied him quietly.

Evan continued, "Before marriage, Grandma lets us choose for ourselves. But once we're married, we're expected to commit fully-to love and honor our wives for life. Any man who cheats is cast out of the York family, with no claim to the family's wealth or legacy. "Divorce? It's only permitted if the wife is unfaithful. But let's be real-what woman would ever cheat on a York man? We're raised to cherish our wives, spoil them, and treat them like queens. What kind of woman would give that up? Only a fool would leave a man who treats her like that." Fox's expression remained unreadable, but Evan pressed on, his voice softening. "That's why I made things clear to Abby. She's incredible strong, smart, and capable. I admire her as a person. But as a partner? My heart just isn't in it." Abby, he admitted to himself, was everything a man could want-poised, successful, and driven. She even held a significant role in her family's business, balancing strength and grace effortlessly.

If Evan hadn't met Fox, he probably would've fallen for Abby.
