The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 464

Zephyr couldn't help but shrug. "My dad has been avoiding marriage for years. Why would he care if I get married?"

The assistant looked puzzled. "I get that your dad's been burned by love, but you? Why don't you want to get married?"

Zephyr wasn't someone who had been hurt by love, but he still had his reasons.

"I'm just not into the idea of wasting my time and giving away half of everything I've worked for later."
