Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 4589

Chapter 4589 
Josh glanced at the group around him, then suddenly reached out to touch Zachary’s face. Zachary slapped his hand away. “What are you doing?” 
Josh grinned. “Just wanted to feel if your skin is really smoother than mine. We’re the same age, both uncles now. I’m not any worse than you, so why do all the girls fall for you and not me?” Zachary shot back, annoyed, “Take all this so-called good luck if you want it. I don’t. They don’t like me—they like my identity, my status, my money. Always dreaming of being the next 
Cinderella, thinking they can take Seren’s place. Women like that, who chase married men, don’t even come close to Seren—she’s in a league of her own. And they still think they can replace her? Keep dreaming.” 
Josh laughed. “Relax, I’m just kidding. I don’t want that kind of ‘good luck.’ I’ve got Jasmine— that’s more than enough for me. I’m not interested in any other woman, especially not those teenagers or girls in their early twenties. They’re too young, lacking the charm of a grown woman. None of them can compare to Jasmine.” 
Those young women didn’t dare go after Josh anyway. They were scared of the power behind the Bucham family. 
Zachary might be cold and distant to women outside his circle, but at least his background was clean. He was just a straightforward businessman. The Buchams, on the other hand, had deep connections and influence that intimidated people across Wiltspoon. 
Everyone in town privately said the Buchams were the real local power—the shadow rulers of Wiltspoon. 
Most assumed the Yorks maintained ties with the Buchams only because Old Lady York earned the Buchams’ respect. 

Sure, Zachary and Josh had a strong friendship, but people assumed the next generation might drift apart—especially since Josh was just Julian Bucham’s cousin, not his brother. What most didn’t know was that Julian’s son had grown up close with the York boys—they were true childhood friends. The next generation of both families was tightly bonded, ensuring the alliance would remain strong. 
Zachary said, “I’m not into older men chasing younger women either. I gave my heart to Seren long ago, and that’s not changing. She’s the only one for me, forever.” 
Josh smiled. “York men are famously loyal. I don’t get what these girls are thinking. They really believe they can replace Serenity just because they’re young and pretty? That’s laughable.” 
“If you were a cheater, then sure, they’d have a shot. But they seriously underestimate how committed you are to your wife and your marriage.” 
The York men were known for being faithful. Even Zachary’s friends had picked up that mindset from him—loyalty, love, and commitment were their values. Once they chose someone, they stayed with that person for life. 
It made men like them all the more attractive. 
If someone wanted to go after the eighth or ninth York brothers, no one would stop them— they were still single. But to pursue a married man like Zachary? That would get them labeled as homewreckers with no shame. 
You can’t chase after someone’s husband and call it “true love.” 
Zachary warned, “Don’t mention what just happened to your wife.” 
If Josh told Jasmine, Serenity would hear about it instantly—those two shared everything. 
Josh smirked. “You scared your wife will find out? She already knows you’ve got girls throwing themselves at you. Remember the one who begged Serenity to share you? Said she’d take Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and Seren could keep the rest?”
