Married at First Sight Chapter 1158
“Ask him what he wants.”Did Duncan have nothing better to do than drive a car and block his way in the middle of the night?Jim lowered the window and asked Duncan, who was walking over, “Why are you here, Mr. Lewis?”“Zachary’s in the car, right? Zachary, I want to stay at your place for some time. I’ve already brought my luggage. However, Sam said he could not make the decisions and didn’t let me enter. I had no choice but to wait for you here.”Zachary was speechless. If Duncan were not an old friend, he would have asked the driver to step on the gas and hit the car blocking the way. Serenity was surprised. Seeing her husband’s dark expression, she asked Duncan, “You want to move here, Mr. Lewis? Why?”“That woman keeps staying in my house and refuses to leave. She knows the address of the other houses I own too. She’ll be able to find me no matter where I stay. It’s annoying. I have no choice but to bring my luggage and trouble you two.”The woman Duncan spoke of was Lil

Zachary owned many properties. He and Serenity usually lived in the villa on the hilltop and their house in Brynfield. These two houses were near their workplaces, which made it convenient to commute. Duncan did not want to travel far for work, so he had no choice but to brazenly stay with Zachary for some time. “Zachary, did you plan all these?” Duncan asked his friend, who had a dark expression. “It’s decorated so nicely, like a proposal or a wedding setup. You can have the same design as this when you and Serenity hold your wedding. It’ll surely impress many women.”Zachary snapped, “Who else could it be if not me? You?”“I don’t have such a high EQ to think of these ideas to make women happy.”Zachary glared at him. “Of course you don’t. The only thing you know is to collect money.”Duncan asked, “What money did I collect?”Zachary did not explain further. Duncan was puzzled. Serenity poured a glass of warm water each for the two guys. She was about to go and prepa

Duncan said embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, Zachary.”“Go to a hotel if you’re ashamed.”“I’m not. It’s not my first time having a short stay in your house. Josh and I often stayed over in the past. We would always do so when we drank too much or it was too late.”Zachary was speechless. He pulled his wife to stand up with him and said coldly, “You can stay in the guest room that’s furthest from the master bedroom. Rest early.”After that, he went upstairs with Serenity. Zachary complained when they returned to their room, “When have I become Duncan’s shield? Has my place turned into a shelter for him?”Serenity laughed and said, “Mr. Lewis only came to stay for a few days because he had no other choice. You two have been friends for so many years.”“He didn’t run out of choices. He’s just using me as a shield. He doesn’t have a low EQ because he was aware of Lily’s feelings for him. But he doesn’t have a high EQ either. He bought Sonny a few sets of clothes and collected money fr

Zachary consoled his wife, “Don’t read too much into it. I believe things will only get better for your sister.” After much thought, Serenity uttered, “That’s true. I don’t see sparks going on between my sister and Mr. Lewis. I guess whatever happens, happens. As you said, Mr. Lewis is his own person. He takes control of his own life. I trust he’ll make my sister happy if he sees her that way.” “Yeah, whatever happens, happens. We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves.” Zachary grabbed her a fresh set of clothes. “Go and take a bath.” Serenity took the clothes and kissed him on the face before going into the bathroom. Half an hour later, the couple lay in bed, chatting about their day. “Honey, when are you coming with me to social events?” Zachary asked. “When do you need a plus-one for social engagements?” Serenity believed the trial runs with her aunt at social parties had built up her confidence. Well, she also had Zachary to thank as he had given her a lot of support

“Married men are different. You cook for yourself, but I’m cooking for me and my wife. It’s sheer happiness to watch my wife eat my food. It’s the type of happiness you single people will not understand. “Even a nice lobster won’t taste as good as when you’re having a meal alone. The simplest food tastes delicious when I eat with my wife. It’s just not comparable.” Duncan replied, “That’s a new way of looking at men who cook. You’re talking as if those who never cooked a day in their lives will never find happiness. I can’t cook like you, but I can find a wife who does. The results are still the same.” Zachary said, “Are you looking for a wife or a cook?” Stumped, Duncan changed the topic. “Make me one too.” “Do it yourself. You should practice and gain experience. I can guarantee your future wife will be happy if you cook her a steak. It’s romancing her.” Duncan pursed her lips. “Zachary, I’m a guest in your home.” “An uninvited guest who won’t leave is not a guest. You

Duncan was passing by All You Can Eat at eight o’clock when he stopped the car. He paused for a moment before getting out of the car. Halfway out, Duncan was struck by a thought and retraced his steps. He unlocked the car and retrieved one of many boxes from the backseat. It was a box of Legos. He was fond of Sonny, so he bought a lot of toys and stashed them in his car. That way, he would have something for Sonny every time he dropped by the diner. It went without saying that his trips to the diner were for the boy and not Liberty. Duncan used to give Sonny pinwheels, but the boy had grown out of them. That was why he bought new toys. With a box of Legos in hand, Duncan stepped into All You Can Eat. “Morning, Mr. Lewis.” Seeing that Duncan entered through the door, Liberty greeted him with a smile and asked, “Same order?”“Yes. The same old.” Duncan believed breakfast at his buddy’s place did not fill his belly. With his workload heavy in the morning, how could he g
Married at First Sight Chapter 1164
“I was up late today.” Duncan lied. He did not tell Liberty that he had breakfast at his buddy’s place and it was just not quite enough. The loving couple had him lose his appetite, but now that they were out of sight, the hunger caught up to him, so Duncan had to drop by Liberty’s diner to fill his belly. Seeing that Duncan was showing her son the ropes in the middle of breakfast, Liberty drew close, sat next to her son, and said, “I’ll help you, Sonny.” She picked up the assembly instruction for a look and stared at the pile of bricks, feeling a headache coming. Oops. It seemed Lego bricks were not quite her thing. Serenity was good at it though. She was nifty with her hands at crafting, so Lego bricks were not a problem for her. With a customer entering the diner, Liberty put down the assembly instruction and told her son, “Take your time, Sonny. I’ll be right with you.” “Mom, you don’t know how to do it, but Dunc does.” Sonny was attached to Duncan when they assem

Duncan’s mother had mentioned Liberty to Lily before. Lily was most focused on Serenity though, as she wanted to get into Mrs. York’s good graces. Nevertheless, Duncan was certain that Lily kept an eye on Liberty since Liberty was Mrs. York’s sister. “I own the space and rent it out,” Duncan added in case Lily thought he was standing up for the restaurant owner. Lily smiled. “No wonder you have breakfast there. You own the place.” “I’m full. I can’t eat anymore. Ms. Harmon, thank you for the breakfast, but I don’t need it.” The last thing Duncan wanted was to take Lily to the office. Lily uttered with a smile, “I’ll bring it back later. I want to get a tour of your office, Duncan. I didn’t just come to Wiltspoon for this. I’m here to talk business with a few major corporations too.” The Harmons operated their business on a large scale. Mrs. Lewis was hoping to have a union with the Harmons while Lily wanted to penetrate Wiltspoon’s market by having business ties with

Isabella’s bodyguard had only called out to her, not daring to touch her, so she had not woken up. However, when Austin gently patted her face and called her, she woke up almost immediately. When she opened her eyes and saw Austin’s handsome face, Isabella was momentarily dazed, thinking she was dreaming about him.She had actually dreamed about Austin. Had she developed feelings for him? If she had not, why would she dream about him? In all her life, this was the first time she had dreamed about a man. Isabella wanted to touch Austin’s face, but as she raised her hand, she realized she was not dreaming.Austin was real. She could smell the fresh scent on him because they were so close.He had showered.Isabella quietly lowered her hand, hoping Austin had not noticed her earlier intention, lest he misunderstood.“Ms. Isabella,” Austin’s warm and pleasant voice reached her ears, making her want to close her eyes and go back to sleep. With him around, she felt safe and secure.

Hunter had neither money nor power. What could he possibly use to save his sons?“Dad, go home. When the trial starts, we’ll send someone to pick you up so you can attend and observe.”Hunter stood up angrily and stormed off.After he left, Ellie asked Ava, “Are we really not going to do anything? My child is still young. Having a father in prison will always be a stain on their life.”“What can we do? Even if we wanted to save them, we don’t have the means. We know what Caroline is like. She’s not going to let this go lightly this time,” Ava replied. “Anyway, think about last year, when they were caught cheating. How did they treat us then?”Remembering the events from last year, Ellie said, “Let them serve a few years in prison, then. Ava, Caroline is in the hospital. Should we go visit her?”“We should. Let’s go tomorrow. We’ll call Emma and visit Caroline together. The Fisher family is full of terrible people, but Caroline still has some conscience. She’s always been kind t

Hunter was momentarily speechless. He did not have much money. When Belinda was alive, he never had more than five hundred dollars on him. After his children grew up, he secretly asked them for money. During that time, he had money to spend freely, living a lavish life outside.However, all that money had been spent. He had no savings, mainly because he was used to spending extravagantly.He had been unable to save money. He did not own any shops or properties either; Belinda had kept him on a tight leash.The house in their hometown had been built with Belinda’s money, but it was not under his name. It was under his three sons’ names.After Belinda’s death, his sons supported him. Each son gave him over a hundred thousand dollars a month for living expenses.Combined, that was several hundred thousand dollars a month, allowing him to live comfortably in Ashford. He had managed to save a little, but not much, just over a million dollars in total. Hiring the best lawyers for h

Despite this, lying in bed and enduring the pain, Caroline could not help but start to cry, feeling deeply wronged.When Darren came in and saw her crying, he walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently wiped her tears with a tissue.“They’re not worth your tears,” he said, his heart aching for her.Caroline sat up and buried herself in his arms. “Darren, you’re all I have now.”Darren held her tightly, his voice filled with tenderness. “I’ll always be by your side, no matter what happens, Ms. Caroline. Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you.“If you’re really hurting and need to cry, then cry. Let it all out.”It would also help her sever ties with the past and the family bonds that had caused her so much pain.Caroline did cry—a long, cathartic cry. It would be the last time. From now on, she and the Clarks would go their separate ways.Meanwhile, Hunter went to Justin’s house and called Jason’s wife, Ellie, over. He said to his two daughters-in-law, “By no

After a moment of silence, Hunter repeated the same line. “But you didn’t die, did you? You only got a little hurt, and it’s not even serious.”Caroline almost laughed in anger at this.Sure, she had not died. She had only been injured. Did that erase the fact that her brothers had tried to kill her, though?She retorted, “Dad, if I had tried to kill your three sons, but they didn’t die and only got a little hurt, would you say the same thing to them? Would you tell them it’s just a family dispute, ask them to forgive me, not to sue me, and not to send me to jail?”Hunter instinctively replied, "If you had the intent to kill, how could I let you continue down that path? Of course, I’d have to let you serve a few years in prison…“Carol, I’m old, really old. I only have the boys to rely on in my old age. Are you trying to leave me with no one to depend on in my later years?”Caroline said coldly, “I’ll provide for your living expenses. I’ll make sure you don’t starve. You can even

Darren did not let go even after being struck.Seeing Darren get hit, Caroline’s expression darkened. She coldly said to her father, “Dad, if you really want to kneel, go kneel at the hospital entrance and shout at the top of your lungs that your daughter is unfilial.“Tell everyone that your sons tried to kill your daughter, and your daughter refuses to forgive them, so you’re kneeling there to force her to forgive your sons.“Let’s see if I give in.”Hunter stopped struggling. After slapping Darren, he felt a pang of fear. He was afraid Caroline might retaliate by slapping him to avenge Darren. Fortunately, while Caroline was furious, she did not lay a hand on him.He began to cry. “Carol…” He wept bitterly.Darren released him, and Hunter sat on the sofa, sobbing, “Carol, I’m old. I have no income, my parents are long gone, and your mother is no longer here. I only have your three brothers to rely on.“If you send all three of them to prison, what will happen to me? Who w

Caroline hummed. “I do plan to visit Wiltspoon to see her sometime soon. I just don’t know if I’ll be kicked out when I get there.”“And I should visit Mr. Foster too. How is he, by the way?" Patrick was the longest-living person she had ever met. Back when she lived with her adoptive family in the countryside, the oldest people in town usually lived into their eighties, and few made it to ninety. Patrick was nearly a hundred years old. What was more, he could walk without support and even travel long distances with his old friends.Liberty replied, “He’s doing quite well. Aunt Audrey accompanies him on walks every day. When they don’t go out, he sits by the cradle and watches baby Elias for hours on end.”The bond between generations was strong. When Patrick looked at Clive’s son, Elias, he felt like he was looking at his great-grandson. As Tiara’s great-grandson, Elias was naturally like his own great-grandson, too.“Dr. Carden comes by periodically to check on him and adjus

Liberty had already called Audrey to inform her about what had happened and also mentioned it to Serenity.Knowing the Clark brothers had all been captured, Serenity felt thoroughly relieved and stopped worrying that her sister would run into trouble in Jensburg.She told Zachary that Caroline never let people down.Zachary did not comment.Caroline’s fever had completely subsided, but her coughing had worsened. The doctor had changed her prescription, but the effects were not immediate.When Liberty entered, Caroline was out of bed and walking around, supported by Darren.“Caroline, why are you out of bed?”Liberty scolded her, “Get back in bed and lie down. You’re injured. If you don’t rest properly and keep moving around, you’ll aggravate your wounds, and you’ll regret it.”She did not blame Darren, though. She knew Caroline always came first to him. He always followed her lead and was unable to influence her decisions.“I’ve been lying down all day. My back is sore, and I’m

The housekeeper replied, “Yes, sir.”They did not have much work in the first place, so they did not need to slack off. Once they were done with their work, they had tons of time to entertain themselves.Hunter rushed out the door with his car keys. Despite being over seventy years old, his driving skills were still quite good. Not needing to hire a driver, he drove himself straight to Jensburg.Upon arriving at the city, Hunter did not immediately go looking for Caroline. He was unaware that she had been injured.Instead, he went to meet his old friends to ask them to help him find out if anything had happened in relation to the Fisher family last night.After he finished speaking, one of his friends said, “We were about to ask you the same thing. Your three sons attacked your daughter with knives and even kidnapped her, intending to chop her up and feed her to the fish.“Luckily, that Mr. Fletcher, who works for your daughter, arrived with the police and rescued her, but she wa
