Married at First Sight Chapter 1504
While Sonny went to class, Serenity went to the hospital accompanied by Zachary.She asked Zachary to stop when they passed by Spring Blossoms. She got out of the car and went into the store to buy a bouquet of flowers.Camryn was not in the store.“Is your boss making a delivery?” Serenity asked the store assistant.“Our boss went to get the goods early in the morning and will probably only be back at around ten o’clock. Do you have anything important to ask her, Mrs. York? I can ask her to call you when she comes back.”Serenity hummed. “Okay, tell her to ring me when she’s back.”The assistant agreed and saw Serenity out of the store.Serenity held the bouquet and got into the car, saying to Zachary while closing the door, “Camryn isn’t in the store. She went out first thing in the morning to get some goods and won’t be back until around ten o’clock. Tell Callum that I might not be able to leave at ten. I can only come over if Jasmine is at the store.”Zachary said, “Don’t w

Upon hearing what Serenity said, he could not help but think, ‘As expected of Zachary’s wife.’The husband and wife said almost the exact same thing.“Serenity, I can only say that I won’t give up as long as your sister doesn’t remarry.”Duncan spoke solemnly.There was nothing else Serenity could say.Putting aside everything else, she held quite an admiration for Duncan.The three of them entered the in-patient building together. When they arrived at Liberty’s ward, they saw Hank standing by the door early in the morning.This time, Hank came alone.Olivia and Chelsea did not tag along.Hank was also holding a bouquet and an insulated lunch box.His parents asked him to do this.Serenity was a little surprised when she saw Hank. Did her grandparents not stop him from coming out?However, Olivia and Chelsea did not come, so it was still better than before.Hank was a walking contradiction now and could easily be driven away.“Hank Brown, are you here to disturb Liberty’s

Zachary shot a look at the bodyguard. The bodyguard got the hint.Duncan was the last person to enter the ward.Hank noticed that Duncan too had bought flowers and that the latter was holding an insulated box. Obviously, Duncan was trying to pursue Liberty! Hank immediately felt bitter about it.“Liberty, Liberty…”After Hank called Liberty twice, Noah covered his nose and mouth to stop him from screaming.Noah was young. Besides, he had spent a short period of time with some hooligans, so he was ruthless. He would not show Hank mercy when dealing with him. Considering that Hank was used to sitting in the office, he was no match for the youngster who just turned eighteen. It was only until Noah dragged Hank far away while covering his nose and mouth that Noah let go of Hank.“Are you trying to suffocate me?” Hank criticized Noah. “Don’t be rude. Technically speaking, you need to acknowledge me as your brother-in-law.”“Pah. Brother-in-law? What gives you the right to be my b

Serenity watched Duncan walk out of the ward.After that, she turned her eyes to her husband. Zachary looked very calm as though Duncan’s reaction was within his expectation.Zachary saw Duncan off.“Seren, your store must be busy. You should return to your store.”“Liberty, let me accompany you.”“I don’t need you to. I can walk around on my own. I’m fine. If it hadn’t been for the doctor who insisted on having me stay in the hospital, I would’ve wanted to be discharged right now.”She missed All You Can Eat.“Listen to the doctor.”Serenity said, “Stay in the hospital for a few more days. Once you’re discharged, you can’t return to the store and work straight away. You need to have a good rest at home.”“I’ve been lying on the hospital bed for nearly half a month. If I continue to do so after being discharged, my body will fall apart. Once I’m out, I’ll keep an eye on the breakfast place and help collect money without doing things on my own, okay? Don’t worry. It’s my body.

Serenity asked Zachary, “Callum took a day off, and Josh might not return to the office today.”Zachary laughed. “I can have the secretary postpone the meeting. Let’s go. I’ll send you to your store. As for your car, I’ll ask Harry to drive it there straight away.”Serenity did not turn him down.“I’ll pick you up in the evening. There’s a social gathering at night, and I’d like you to go with me.”“Okay.”Serenity readily agreed.Only after Zachary sent Serenity back to her bookstore did he rush to his office and start his busy day of work.Jasmine came to the store today.Serenity mocked her playfully. “Why don’t you stay at home and prepare for the wedding? Your other half is desperate. I thought you might not come to work today.”“There’s nothing much I need to do. Plus, it’s boring to stay at home, so I came.”Jasmine looked radiant. Serenity felt that her best friend had become much prettier.Serenity stretched out her hand and pinched Jasmine’s face while complimentin

Jasmine smiled. She called River by his name so that he would not feel awkward.Deep down, she thought that Serenity’s brothers-in-law had different temperaments. Despite that, all of them looked attractive and photogenic.They were even more handsome than the male lead in the novel she had been reading every day.“Nana, you brought a lot of things. What are they?” Serenity placed the bags on the counter and unpacked them.“Nothing much. There are plenty of supplements at home. I’ve had a lot of them, and I can’t take too many. I’m worried that overconsuming supplements may backfire, so I sent some over. Young people like you work every day and feel exhausted. You need to improve your health.”Nana added, “Also, there’s some seafood. Your mother-in-law asked me to bring it for you as she knows you love seafood most.”“Now, Zachary and I are staying in the hilltop villa. There’s nothing we’re short of.”However, Tania remembered her favorite food and sent over so much food. Ser

Deep down, River was hoping that Zack would not assign the most unmanageable company to him. York Corporation was huge and had many subsidiary companies. There were quite a lot of small companies under its subsidiary companies too. Some were not doing well, whereas some were about to close down.When Zachary’s younger brothers first entered the workforce, it was usually either Grandma May or Zachary who assigned tasks to them. Sometimes, Zachary’s brothers would directly join York Corporation and work at the grassroots.Sometimes, they would be trained by being sent to those companies that were not doing well or about to close down.These kinds of companies were the most challenging.If his brothers could revive a small company and expand its territory, it would mean that they were capable of doing business. After they passed the preliminary training, Zachary would get them to handle some great subsidiary companies.At last, he would arrange for his brothers to take over certa

After Grandma May explained, Serenity felt slightly better.Otherwise, Serenity would think that she did not fulfill her duty as Mrs. York.“Seren, Jas, you can carry on with your work. I’ll bring along River to hand out the invitation cards to a few families.”After sitting for a while, Grandma May rose to her feet and was about to leave.Serenity and Jasmine got up as well.“Nana, do you want to come over for lunch at noon?”“No. I’m treating Mr. Queen to a meal at noon. He’s now in our hotel, and I had Kevin keep him company,” said Grandma May as she looked at Serenity with a playful gaze.Serenity got the point and answered with a smile, “Alright. Do pay us a visit whenever you’re free, Nana. It’s best that you come over and stay with Zachary and I. It’s convenient.”When she uttered the word “convenient”, she shot a look at Old Mrs. York.Grandma May understood tacitly and replied, “After River’s birthday, I’ll move to your place. If Zack doesn’t agree, you need to speak

Married at First Sight Chapter 4202
“You can drink it now. It’ll turn cold if left aside for longer.”Isabella took the ginger ale and drank it with elegance. She put it down after drinking half of it. “I’m drunk, but only slightly. I can walk, and my brain is still alert. I know what I’m doing and saying.“I’ve had enough ginger ale.”She did not want to consume too much liquid late at night. “Which family is your fiancée from, Austin? Where is she? Do you mind telling me?”Isabella was insistent on getting answers. Austin had never told her when she had asked him about it before. He kept saying he would focus on working and that he was not in a rush to get married. After all, he was only in his twenties; Zachary only got married at thirty years old. If he was unsuccessful in wooing his fiancée that year, he did not mind waiting for a few more years. Isabella suddenly felt jealous of Austin’s fiancée, having had his heart without even doing anything. She wondered what Austin’s fiancée had done to cat

Austin stared into Isabella’s eyes. He could detect some feelings in her gaze, but it was not obvious enough. What she felt for him was still mostly admiration. It was not the right time for him to confess yet. He would continue to wait. “You’re the best and most outstanding lady in my heart, Ms. Isabella. I admire you more.”Austin added gently, “You give off a strict and cold aura sometimes, but you’re always a nice person in my eyes.”Isabella had treated him well ever since he became her private chef. It only got better after she discovered he was a young master of the Yorks. Austin believed her when she said she viewed him as a friend because her actions reflected it as well. However, he was not content with being just friends. He wanted to be her husband. He wanted her to trust him and love him forever. He would also reciprocate her feelings and trust. Isabella smiled. “Even my parents are scared and avoid me when I’m in a serious mode. Louis and Phillip w

Austin responded, “Don’t worry, Ms. Edith. I’ll take good care of Ms. Isabella.”Edith had come in a hurry and left just as quickly. The hidden meaning in her cousin’s words was not lost on Isabella, but she did not comment on it.She allowed Austin to accompany her into the house. The lights were still on inside, but the first floor was empty. Everyone else had already gone to bed.Since Isabella had not returned yet, the housekeeper had left the lights on for her.The house was warm, so once inside, Isabella took off Austin’s coat and handed it back to him.Austin accepted the coat and followed her to the sofa. After she had sat down, he asked gently, “Ms. Isabella, would you like some ginger ale for a hangover remedy?”Isabella rubbed her temples and said, “Yes, please. I don’t want to wake up with a splitting headache tomorrow.”Austin immediately went to prepare it for her.Isabella leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest. After some time, she heard Austin’s

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
