Chapter 567
“That’s what I admire the most about you, unlike some people who don’t care if others are married. They find
someone they fancy and come in between the marriage of others under the pretext of finding true love. Those
people disgust me the most.”
Alice was speaking from the heart.
She embraced Elisa as her in-laws would because her sister–in–law had good qualities.
Alice would not even bother if Elisa was not a decent person.
“I’m fine, Alice. Go and catch up on sleep. Tell my brother not to worry about me. It’s not like 1 can never find a
man.”
“Alright. I’m heading back to my room. Do you want to go back to sleep?”
“Nah. I’ll go to spend some good time with Serenity later. That reminds me, the pastry chef made some great
desserts yesterday. Is there any left? I want to bring some to Serenity and Jasmine. They have a thing for desserts.”
These girls were just like her sister–in-law.
Previously, Elisa’s family did not have a personal pastry chef as their chef could take on the dual role. Since Elisa

delicacies for her sister–in–law.
Alice said with a smile, “I thought the food was delicious too, so I told the pastry chef to bake some today. You can
head downstairs and check. The pastries should be hot out of the oven. Bring a few boxes to Serenity. You can
deliver the desserts to her every day if she likes them.”
Knowing that Serenity may possibly be her husband’s cousin, Alice already had a good feeling about Serenity
before even meeting her.
“She likes them for sure.”
The mention of Serenity and Jasmine sparked joy in Elisa’s speech. Since the girls were foodies, it was no wonder
they became best friends.
They shared the same qualities.
After changing the subject, Elisa seemed to have put Zachary’s marriage behind her. Only then, Alice was
comfortable returning to her room.
Clive was waiting for his wife’s return in the bedroom.
“How’s Elisa?”
“She’s stronger than we think, probably because she already knew. But you had to make me go to her first thing in
the morning. It really put her down. You should be the bad guy next time. I don’t want to do it again.”
Clive went up to hug his wife and uttered with a grin, “It’s easier for you to have a heart-to- heart with her. Elisa
doesn’t like what I tell her.”
“You’re a straight shooter, but that’s what I like about you. Other women would be rolling their eyes at you
“That’s why I only love you and only want to be with you.
“You’re such a smooth talker. Who is Zachary’s wife? Did you manage to find out?”
Clive shook his head. “I made some calls around, but they all said they only saw the photo and circulated the news.
No one knows who Zachary’s wife is. The Yorks are keeping her identity under wraps.”
In fact, Clive had to take off his hat to the Yorks.
The Yorks’ mouths were sealed on their personal lives unless they wanted the public to know. Even their close
friends and family could not get any information out of them.
Zachary’s announcement of his marriage on Facebook was a prime example. The news made headlines in
Wiltspoon, but the Yorks kept mum about the whole thing. The reporters had been waiting at the Yorks‘ front gate
the whole night. Apparently, they were still there now. The press was also lurking in front of York Corporation, trying

Nevertheless, the employees of York Corporation buttoned their lips.
The media reporters probably wanted to run Zachary down for only giving them crumbs. Zachary only posted a
pair of hands without showing the woman’s face. Although itching with curiosity, the reporters could not catch a
glimpse of Zachary’s wife. The feeling of being tethered to suspense was awful.
“Aren’t the paparazzi all–pervasive? There hasn’t been any chatter about this among

them.”
Clive fell silent before replying, “I can imagine the paparazzi cussing right now. Unless Zachary reveals her identity
to the press, we probably will never find out.”
After a pause, Clive regrettably added, “It’s my biggest regret that I couldn’t acquire a talent like Josh.”
Zachary would never know how lucky he was to gain Josh’s loyalty.
Josh had a say in the Bucham family and shared a close relationship with the head of the household. Zachary
having Josh’s help meant he got the Buchams‘ full support.
Alice comforted her husband. “There’s bound to be regret in life. No one has it perfect in life. The people around
you are good and no lesser than Josh. Josh just happens to be born in the Bucham family.”
