Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 5573

Devon's expression turned serious. "You'll never get that chance, Chloe. I'm yours for the rest of my life. I'd never do anything to betray you."

Chloe was the only one for him. No matter how beautiful another woman might be, she could never compare to his Chloe.

Men of the Ormond family were known to be deeply devoted.

Devon's father was a great example. Yves had been hopelessly in love with his first love for years, even though he was just a backup plan to her. If Iris had not been such a remarkable woman, Yves would have remained single forever.

Iris had told Devon that while his father's first love was living overseas, the lady had dated quite a few men. It was only shortly before returning home that she underwent cosmetic surgery, hoping to deceive Yves and her future father-in-law.

Once her lies were exposed, Yves finally gave up on her for good and chose to be with Iris.

The couple had been deeply in love for decades after their marriage. Sometimes, even Devon envied the relationship his parents shared.

He had no siblings and was his parents' only child. The elders had told him that his father had been so concerned about the pain his mother endured during pregnancy that he firmly refused to have another child. On the other hand, his mother had very much wanted a second baby.

However, Yves disagreed, so Devon remained their only child.

It was one of Iris's regrets. She told Yves that she loved children and wanted to have several more. That way, the Ormond household might have been as lively as the Johnson family.

Unfortunately, Yves had refused to have a second child, let alone a third.

Worried that Devon would grow up lonely, his parents often sent him over to the Johnsons’ home to play and grow up alongside Connor and the others. That way, he would have plenty of siblings in all but name.

His parents said they had planned for their families to become in-laws for a long time. They simply had not mentioned it because they were afraid Chloe and Devon would only see each other as brother and sister without any romantic feelings. Thus, they kept their thoughts to themselves.

It was only after Devon grew up and confessed to Chloe, making it clear that he loved her as a woman, not a sister, that the elders of both families finally dared to reveal their hopes.

Of course, once he had confessed to Chloe, he also had to face a series of tests from his good friends.
