Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

Chapter 755
“It’s better you tell her the truth than she realizes it or hears it from someone else.”
Ben had been there.
Jane might not have reacted so strongly if he had been honest with her.
It meant that he trusted her to bare his soul to her.
Since Jane got the news from Yves‘ mouth, Jane believed Ben had no confidence in her and walked on eggshells around her.
Plus, his mother–in–law was convinced there was a social gap between them. Worried Jane would be treated like dirt by the
Johnsons, his mother–in-law was once against the marriage.
“She’ll take it that you trust her if it comes from your mouth, but the moment she finds out from someone else... She’ll be angrier
by the minute, thinking the whole world but she knows about it. The deceit won’t sit well with her. In fact, she’ll conclude it to be a
lack of trust and confidence.
“Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”
With Serenity’s temper coming into mind, Zachary timidly uttered, “I sounded her out to see under what circumstances she would
leave me. She said she’ll go for divorce if I ever cheat, abuse, or lie to her multiple times.
“I started off with a lie, but I had to make up more stories to cover up for that one lie. I have lied to her multiple times. I even told
her I was away on business to attend your wedding.”
Ben replied, “I’d still recommend coming clean to her. I can’t guarantee how your wife would react to it though. We both might be
quick to sign the marriage papers, but our situations are different.
“Mr. York, you can’t escape what’s to come. You might as well face it head–on.”
Zachary fell silent.
“Maybe you can go back and have a think about it. You can pick a good time and date and be truthful to her in a different way.”
After much thought, Zachary thanked Ben. “Thank you for your advice, Mr. Young- Johnson. I’ll examine my options.”

Ben uttered with a smile, “We’re all human. I’m sure your sincerity will touch her heart. Besides, you’re already a couple, and
you’ve developed feelings for each other. You’re conflicted now, but she’ll feel the same regardless of her decisions when she
finds out who you are.
It was easier to fall in love than out of it.
Rarely anyone was a master of their own emotions when it came to love.
Zachary expressed his gratitude to Ben once more.
“Don’t mention it, Mr. York. You can talk to me if you encounter any more problems. Although my wedding was yesterday, I have
gotten the marriage license for a while now. I’ve been through it, so I have more experience than you newlyweds.
“I hope you can bring along your wife next time, Mr. York. I believe my wife will be happy to have a friend.”
Zachary knew a little about Jane’s history. Jane was friendly and did not put on airs like the missus of a wealthy family. It was
good for Serenity to make friends with someone like Jane.
“I’ll bring my wife for a visit if an opportunity arises.”
Ben remarked with a grin, “You can make opportunities happen, Mr. York.”
An opportunity would not exist if Mr. York did not wish to make the trip.
Zachary rose to his feet. “I’ve been a bother today, Mr. Young–Johnson. I’ll take you around Wiltspoon and buy you dinner if you
ever go there.”
Ben looked at his brother and said teasingly, “You can buy me dinner anytime anywhere, but if you know a nice girl, please set
Remy up for a date. He’s flying out of the radar by permanently staying in Wiltspoon, and I rarely fly there. I don’t have many
connections to introduce anyone to him.
“The senior of my family is worried if he’ll ever meet a girl.”
Remy was neck–deep into the gossip until he was suddenly pulled into the picture. His brother even asked Zachary to set him up
on a date. Remy jumped in. “Ben, Lee and Tim are single and older than I am. You should start with them, not me.”

Ben answered, “They’re in Annenburg, so we don’t have trouble pushing them to take the major step. You, on the other hand,
are heading back to Wiltspoon after New Year. We know nothing about your social life there. That’s why we need to seek Mr.
York’s help with it.
“Tim’s out anyway. He’s got his eye on a girl, and you’ll probably get yourself another sister–in–law in no time.”
