Chapter 4255

Evan said, “I don’t want to create unnecessary competition for you. Even if they won’t harm you, their jealousy and clinginess would still bother me. Abby, I am yours alone—now and forever. Please don’t push me towards anyone else.”

Abby was at a loss for words. She assisted Evan into the house and settled him on the sofa.

“I should find you a few rivals,” she suggested. “Just to remind you that I don’t have to be with you. If I wanted to get married, I could do it anytime.”

Evan quickly took her hand and gazed at her with deep affection. “Abby, I love you, and I always will. Even if you introduce competition, I won’t be intimidated. Time will reveal a person’s true heart, and we are meant to be together.”

Abby withdrew her hand but couldn’t resist pinching his cheek. “You’re so shameless.”

Evan smiled. “My oldest brother taught us that if you want to win a wife, you must be thick-skinned and utterly shameless.”

Zachary: …Did I really say that?

Abby: “Oh, of course. Blame your oldest brother. He and Sister Serenity got married in no time and went straight for the marriage certificate. He didn’t even have to pursue her.”

Evan chuckled. “But my brother and sister-in-law had their share of conflicts. She even proposed a divorce, which terrified him so much that he nearly lost his mind. He put her under house arrest just to prevent her from leaving. My brother had to be completely shameless to win her back. Isn’t that also a form of chasing a wife?”

At that time, they had all tried to reason with Zachary while Serenity’s friends and family did the same for her.

Once everything settled down, Zachary acknowledged his mistakes.

Ultimately, sincerity triumphed over sincerity, and the couple reconciled.

Evan believed that if Serenity had insisted on the divorce, Zachary—who had finally discovered true love—would have been utterly devastated.

It was insane. They had all been on edge, fearing what might happen. Fortunately, it never came to that. Having never experienced love, Evan couldn’t comprehend how his usually composed and unshakeable older brother had become a desperate man because of it. However, when Evan fell for Fox, only to have his grandmother arrange for him to be with Abby, he felt such anxiety and frustration that he nearly lost control. Now, he understood his brother all too well.

Abby stood up and walked away, already familiar with Zachary and Serenity’s love story. She merely envied their happy ending. She prepared a cup of honey water for Evan and handed it to him. Checking the time, she said, “It’s late. I need to head home. You should go upstairs and rest. Tomorrow, visit the housekeeping company and hire two people.”

“It’s too lonely in this large villa by yourself,” she added. She didn’t want to leave him completely alone, especially if he drank too much. Evan nodded. “I’ll ask my eldest brother to arrange for a few people to come. They’ll be here in two days. Abby, where are you going on your business trip? Can I come with you and see the world?”

Abby scoffed. “See the world? What hasn’t the fourth young master of the Zhan family already experienced?”

“I’m going for work, not vacation. You don’t work for my company, so why would you tag along?”

Evan smirked. “Isn’t York Corporation increasing its investment in Huyoniville? Are you sure you don’t need the fourth young master of York involved?”

He quickly backed down, though. “Fine, I won’t go with you and get in your way. While you’re gone, I’ll focus on my work and establish a name for myself in Huyoniville’s business scene.”
