Surprised, the few CEOs immediately asked Josh, “Mr. Bucham, does Mr. York have someone he likes? Do you know who the lucky girl is?” Fancy that. Even Zachary had a shot at love. The probability was slim to none. “Shh… You gotta keep it a secret or Mr. York will reproach me for being nosy and a blabbermouth. Mr. York hasn’t fallen in love yet. He’s merely a bit interested in the girl. Judging by his character, Mr. York will tell the whole world once he’s fallen head over heels with a girl.” Mr. York would put the word out there so admirers like Elisa would not harass him. The CEOs nodded their heads. It was good enough for them to find out that Mr. York was interested in girls. It got one of the CEOs thinking as he had a daughter who had reached marrying age.Since Mr. York was a straight guy, the CEO intended to bring his daughter along to observe during business discussions at York Corporation. Who knows? His daughter might catch Mr. York’s attention. The girl, who Mr. Yor

“I got my salary today. I’ll wire you the living expenses later. Spend it on food and everything necessary. Don’t be too frugal,” Zachary said.“It’s fine. We still have a chunk of change left from the hundred thousand dollars you gave me the last time. We kept our household expenditures low, so not much of the money was used.” The furniture took away tens of thousands, but that was a one-time purchase. The remaining dozens of thousands could last the household for several months. Besides, Serenity was not going to spend his money all the time. “Just save the unused portion. Men can be extravagant with their spending. Just keep the money that I’ve wired to you. It can serve as an emergency fund. Otherwise, I’ll burn through all my money.” Serenity gave it a thought before answering, “Alright then.” She would keep a record of all the transactions. The money Zachary wired to her every month would be saved and put in writing. It would be easy to divide the money when they w

“Serenity, did you make these? They’re beautiful.” Elisa complimented Serenity’s handicraft. Picking up a newly made maneki-neko for a closer look, Elisa praised, “Wow, it’s so pretty.” “I can give you a few if you like, Ms. Stone. They’re not worth much though.” “I love them. I love them a lot.” Elisa nodded her head incessantly. “Thank you.” She then asked, “Do you sell these, Serenity?” “Yes, I do. I have an online business, selling these knick-knacks. Sales have been pretty good, and this month has been the best month yet.” Elisa replied with a smile, “Send me the link to your online business later. I’ll share it on Facebook to drum up your business. They’re really beautiful.” Having learned of Serenity’s business, Elisa was more than happy to advertise Serenity’s products. If a woman of her standards found Serenity’s crafts appealing, others were bound to love her creations too. Those who might not share the same aesthetics would also help with Serenity’s business

Not only was Elisa’s family against her courting Zachary, but her best friends also persuaded her to let it go, saying that it was not an easy pursuit with Zachary. Besides, her family and the Yorks were rivals in business. Only Serenity encouraged her to go for it. Elisa clung to Serenity, deeming the latter to be her confidante. “I wouldn’t go after Mr. York despite his brilliance if he had a wife or girlfriend. I’m a good catch, so I don’t need to steal someone else’s man. The fact is that he’s single. Now that I’ve found the one, I must put it into action and try. Even if nothing comes out of it, I won’t regret trying.” Elisa let it all out of her chest. Serenity had caught wind of Elisa’s haughtiness, but she had the means to be lofty, spoiled, and willful after all. All Serenity saw in Elisa was an ordinary lovesick girl. It appeared to Serenity that Elisa was in a positive frame of mind. Elisa had a non-distorted outlook on life. Serenity had overheard some gossi

“Girls chasing after boys is really not that different from guys chasing after girls. Invest in his interest and hang in there. Your efforts will see you through. He’s bound to say yes if you keep asking him out.” Elisa gave it a thought before replying, “I know I should persevere and stick with it. To be honest, my sister-in-law initiated the first move on my brother. I saw the whole thing. My brother was like Mr. York at the time – lofty, detached, and unconcerned.“My sister-in-law was all over my brother every day and eventually wore my brother down with her persistence. There was a time my sister-in-law wanted to give up and stopped turning up anywhere near my brother. The surprising thing was that my brother got used to her being around. Her absence and intention to back out of his life turned him to being more forward with his feelings.“Now my brother’s known in Wiltspoon for worshiping the ground his wife walks on.” Elisa was most envious of her brother and sister-in-law
Married at First Sight Chapter 166
Elisa was rendered speechless. Was she bratty and willful? Come to think of it, Elisa had to admit that she did act like a spoiled brat. It was largely because she was the apple of the Stones’ eye. Her family’s love did not give her a stuck-up attitude, but Elisa was not the easiest person to get along with. She would not hesitate to kick out anyone who had gotten on her list of dislikes if she found them hanging around her. She had no consideration for other people’s feelings. Even her relatives were not spared from her wrath. It took a while before Elisa gratefully said to Serenity, “Thank you for telling me this, Serenity. No one ever talked to me about changing my bad behavior.” Serenity thought to herself, ‘Who would say something so blunt to your face?’She made a bold suggestion because she did not belong in Elisa’s circle. Besides, Elisa saw Serenity as her love guru. “Seren.” Having woken up from her afternoon nap, Jasmine came out when she overheard Serenit
Married at First Sight Chapter 167
Once Elisa was gone, Jasmine asked curiously, “Seren, how did you know Ms. Stone? She even came to the shop to look for you.” Serenity told Jasmine the whole story about Elisa flagging her e-bike down and sending Elisa to York Corporation. Jasmine replied after a pause, “Really?” Props to Elisa for her courage and tenacity to go after the heir of the York. “I think Ms. Stone isn’t as unreasonable as described in the rumors. She’s only haughty because of her upbringing. She hasn’t lost perspective on life though. While she loves Mr. York, she said she wouldn’t ask Mr. York out if he was taken.” Elisa’s pride kept her from coming in between someone else’s relationship. Jasmine concurred, “She sounds like a great gal. We’re not in her circle, so we wouldn’t know her true character without engaging with her. The rumors can’t be trusted completely. Sometimes, seeing is not believing either, let alone hearsays.” Since Elisa held prestige in class, many who were jealous of her m

Jasmine pursed her lips. “He’s a little ugly. I’m scared that my baby will turn out hideous if I marry an ugly man. Your situation is the best. Since you and your husbands have the looks, your baby will turn out beautiful.” She would rather marry a motivated wage earner like her best friend. So what if Mr. York was not born with a silver spoon? He worked hard to get to a senior white-collar position at York Corporation. Anyone who could get into the York Corporation’s headquarters was an elite among elites. Serenity replied after a brief pause, “You should spend less time on your chick lits. I think you read too much and now you imagine yourself meeting a young, handsome, and rich CEO like the female characters in your books. The young CEO only has eyes and the hots for the leading lady. Jasmine, that’s all fiction. Where are you going to find that many young CEOs in real life?“The CEO of York Corporation is young, but he took over the family business that has been around for y

All he could do was hold it in. However, he soon sneezed again.Imogen commented, “My dad told you to stand in the cold without your coat, and you really did it, like an idiot. It’s not like you feel anything for me or you’re trying to win my affection, so there’s really no need for you to listen to my dad.”Luckily, she came out quickly enough. Otherwise, he would have turned into an icicle.“It was my fault before. I hurt you, so it's only natural that Mr. and Mrs. Doyle are angry with me. They didn’t hit me or scold me, and they just made me stand out in the cold for a while; they’re already being very lenient,” said Dylan, sneezing again.He was usually in good health, but this time, he was afraid he might really catch a cold.Imogen glanced at him without saying anything. She led Dylan into the house and asked their housekeeper if the soup was ready.Wendy replied, “Almost.”Imogen nodded and asked Dylan to sit down. Then, she poured him a cup of tea and asked, “Have you ea

Dylan finally put his coat on after Imogen said that. He had only been standing there for half an hour but even in that short time, he had become so cold.Once he put his jacket on, Imogen turned around and began walking inside. “Come with me.”“Okay,” Dylan quickly bent down to grab the gifts before quickening his steps to catch up with Imogen. “Thank you, Ms. Doyle.”Imogen glanced at him for a moment before turning away. “I was just afraid you might freeze to death at my doorstep, and then your family would come after mine. Plus, since your sisters-in-law are my good friends, I couldn't just let you die at my gate.”After leaving Wiltspoon, Imogen had not gone back there under her real name, but she had stayed in touch with Serenity and the others and was still on very good terms with them.Dylan smiled and said, “Serenity will give birth in a few months, and Josh’s wife is also pregnant, but she's a month ahead of Serenity. Liberty and Duncan have already registered their marr

Her daughter’s excellence was all thanks to Silver’s influence.“What I wanted to tell you was that Dylan is standing at our doorstep. He said he wanted to see you. Your dad and I refused and told him to leave, but he’s not budging.”Imogen was not surprised by this, but she still pretended to be surprised, so as not to raise her mother’s suspicion.“Why’s he here?” Imogen asked, feigning ignorance.“Who knows? He didn’t say. He only said he wanted to see you. The way he treated you, playing with your feelings—your dad and I have been holding in a lot of anger for a long time. “But you didn’t want us to confront him, so we couldn’t vent it. Now he’s come knocking, wanting to see you? It won’t be that easy.”Imogen was not planning to meet Dylan either.“Your dad told him to stand outside for two hours with his coat off and that if he doesn’t freeze to death, he’ll let him see you.”Imogen was speechless for a moment. “Mom, it’s freezing outside. Even wearing a thick coat, it’s

“Still not up yet?” Leticia smiled and said as she entered her daughter’s room after the door opened. Imogen’s room was decorated in a warm style, but the furniture was minimal. Aside from the bed, a computer desk, and a set of sofas, she preferred things to be simple. Her room was also the smallest. She said that if the room was too big, it felt empty and she could not sleep well. Leticia thought it was because when her daughter learned self-defense from her master, she lived in a small room with her fellow disciples, so she had gotten used to smaller spaces.Compared to the average person, Imogen's room was actually quite large, but against the rooms of the other family members, hers looked smaller.Leticia sat down on the sofa.“Mom, let me change first.” With her mother here, Imogen could no longer lie in bed. She went to change and wash up, then came out of the bathroom. She poured her mother a cup of water and placed it in front of her before sitting next to her. “Mom, a

Dylan was speechless.Leaving the warm indoors, he felt Huntington's winter was really cold. It was below freezing, and the temperature was as low as 14°F to 32°F. He had never experienced such low temperatures in Wiltspoon.In Wiltspoon, the moment the temperature dropped to 50°F, everyone would start saying it was freezing.Winston and Leticia headed back. Leticia whispered to her husband, “What if he really stands there for two hours without his coat and freezes to death?”They wanted to stand up for their daughter, but they did not want to kill Dylan. That would make them enemies of the Yorks. Even if they could not become in-laws, they definitely did not want to become enemies.Winston replied, “If he really does it, in half an hour, I’ll let Jen come out and call him inside. If he doesn't follow my request, he won’t freeze to death.”At most, he would just catch a cold. If he did not do it, nothing would happen.“I don’t think he’s here for love this time either. I’m not s

Leticia harrumphed as well. “Mr. York, why are you here?” Leticia asked coldly. “We don't welcome you here. Go back to wherever you came from.”Dylan smiled awkwardly, “Mrs. Doyle, I just want to see Ms. Imogen.”“Imogen doesn't want to see you. Hurry up and leave, or we'll let the guard dogs out.” Leticia rejected him outright. “And you’d better stay as far away as possible. Do you think our Imogen is someone you can just toy and flirt with just because you want to, then say you haven't fallen for her and play with her feelings?“What's the matter? Has the Mr. York, whose heart belongs to someone else, still not managed to win his lady love over?” Leticia mocked, though she was actually probing into the reason for Dylan's visit.Dylan just took the insults without getting angry. He knew he had hurt Imogen. Even though she was someone who could take things in stride, the fact remained he had flirted with her and turned to claim he did not like her, which had hurt her feelings.
Married at First Sight Chapter 3938
Otherwise, the Old Mrs. York would not have taken a liking to her in the first place.“I'll go out and have a look.” Leticia could not sit still and stood up to leave. She wanted to mock that York boy. Winston replied, “I'll go with you.”He was worried that his wife might soften her heart because she was quite pleased with Dylan at first. Well, to be honest, he was too.It was mainly because everyone in Huntington knew of the Wiltspoon Yorks’ reputation. The men of the York family were devoted and loyal to their marriages, and once they married, it was for life.For women, the York family was an excellent family for marriage. Who would not want to marry into it? Families with daughters also hoped their daughters would marry York men, or those who were as devoted as them. Leticia hummed in assent and the couple hurried out.Dylan's car was parked in front of the Doyles’ residence. He had switched to a different car, afraid the security guards might recognize his vehicle, eve

“Goodnight, Mom,” Imogen said.As Leticia turned the doorknob to enter her room, Imogen suddenly asked, “Mom, if Dylan comes looking for me again, would you let him in?”“I'd set the guard dog on him.”Imogen chuckled softly, “Mom, you’re all talk. If he really does, you might just smile from ear to ear and think he’s realized he actually loves me.”Leticia was silent for a moment before she said, “Regardless, I have to make him sweat a little.” After saying that, Leticia quickly closed the door, feeling too embarrassed to face her daughter. She internally sighed. Dylan was the son-in-law she had hoped for. If Dylan really did realize that he actually loved Jen and came back for her, Leticia wondered if she should forgive him for the things he had done months ago. Dylan had hurt her daughter, but… never mind. It was between the two young ones. She should let them handle it themselves. There was no way Dylan would come back anyway.Leticia did not expect her daughter’s hypothet

Leticia then heard faint footsteps. When she went out to check, she saw it was her daughter. That was why she asked.“My friend invited me out for a late-night snack.” Imogen lied, not telling her mother that she had gone to meet that thief. She knew that Dylan wanted to break in by climbing the wall, but she kept to herself because she did not want her mother to have a bad impression of him.Leticia had met Dylan back when he was deliberately approaching her and knowing he was one of the Wiltspoon Yorks, she was very pleased with him. Since Leticia thought so highly of Dylan and said a lot of good things about the York family before her, Imogen took this into consideration and saw him as a potential partner. However, when she started to have feelings for him, he told her that after trying for two or three months, he still could not fall for her.“I thought you didn’t like eating late-night snacks? Anyway, you should just eat what you want at home. Why go out? It’s so cold,” Let
