The hospital bills were covered by Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt’s savings for now. Old Mr. Hunt said that his children and grandchildren should chip in to pay the bills once Old Mrs. Hunt could be discharged from the hospital. As for the cost that Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt had borne, the children and grandchildren were to return the money to them. It did not feel right for old folks like them to carry on living without any money at hand. The old folks might be money-hungry, but they knew their children and grandchildren would not be so nice if they had nothing left to their name. It was better to count on a wad of cash than their birth children. Since the old couple had savings of several hundred thousand dollars, the children would only receive about a hundred thousand bucks per family if split evenly. Still, nobody was going to say no to free cash. With the nurse coming in with yesterday’s charges, Old Mr. Hunt picked it up for a look. Scowling, he said, “It hasn’t been a few days, bu
Married at First Sight Chapter 185
The only adverse effect Old Mr. Hunt noticed was inflicted upon his most valued and successful grandson, John. Due to the Twitter issue, John was suspended by his company. It never occurred to him that Serenity’s retaliation would bring about John’s suspension. John was a senior executive in the company, only second to the managing director and deputy managing director. Following a call from the headquarters, John was placed on an administrative leave. John’s annual salary was over a million bucks. “Not yet. John treated his boss to a meal and found out that the sister of Stone Group’s CEO demanded that John be put on leave without pay and kicked out of the company. It was a good thing John that is good at what he does and only got a suspension. The company didn’t fire him, so things could change for the better.” Old Mr. Hunt asked out of concern, “Why is the CEO’s sister out to get John? Don’t tell me the brat found herself an ally?” “Nah. Ms. Stone is an heiress of the seco

It was said that Ms. Stone was all over Mr. York. She was livid that the Hunts stole her thunder when she finally had her name next to Mr. York’s on the trending news. Ms. Stone did not seem like an heiress as she acted like she had never met a man in her life! It was revolting that Ms. Stone quashed the Hunts time and again just to woo a man. Despite the Hunts’ efforts to stick and work together, there was nothing they could do about Ms. Stone. After coming to the city and going through all those unpleasant experiences, Old Mr. Hunt realized that the world was bigger than he knew. He thought his grandson was impressive and amazing, but there were people out there who were ten times better than his grandson, if not more. “How did that happen? Wasn’t everything agreed upon and underway? Your uncle and I got the script ready to put on a show during the mediation so the public would know we see the error of our ways, whereas Serenity would be seen as someone holding a grudge for

“Mr. York, I’m outside your office. Are you on your lunch break yet? I’m here to take you to my shop for lunch. Surprise!” Zachary was lost for words. Sure, it was a surprise, but not the good kind. Thank goodness he was good at staying composed because that was quite a scare. “Mr. York?” Serenity said as she did not get a response from the man. Tugging on his tie, Zachary replied in a husky voice, “I’m on my break but the client hasn’t left. We’re still ironing out the business details with the client, so it’ll probably take a while. Why don’t you go ahead, and I’ll meet you at your shop for lunch?” “How long more do you need? I didn’t drive. I took a cab. It’s okay. I’ll wait for you outside your office building. We can go back together when you’re finished with your work.” Zachary lifted his arm to look at his watch before responding, “There’s a dessert shop right across the office. Wait for me there. I’ll see you in a bit.” Serenity turned her head and saw the desse
Married at First Sight Chapter 188
While waiting for Zachary at the dessert shop, Serenity did not want to sit in the establishment without getting anything, so she ordered two milkshakes to go. Since she was sitting near the entrance, Serenity was able to spot Zachary when he drove out of the office building. Carrying her milkshakes, she walked out of the shop.With a smile across her beautiful face, Serenity waved at Zachary. Zachary drove over and pulled up in front of her. Serenity took a few steps forward and opened the door to the passenger seat. She got into the car and put on her seatbelt before Zachary restarted the engine. “Why are you wearing a black mask?” Serenity asked in passing. Without a word, Zachary removed the mask. He did not want anyone to recognize him as he drove out of his office building. Even though not many had seen him in person before, it was best Zachary practiced caution. Instead of dwelling on Zachary’s refusal to answer, Serenity asked, “Do you want a milkshake? I bought yo

“That reminds me. I need to talk to you about something.” Serenity changed the subject at hand. By the sound of her cheerful tone, Zachary could tell his silence did not drive her mad. For some reason, it did not sit well with Zachary that she was not angry. “What is it?” “Nana wants to stay at our place on the weekend. She told me to discuss it with you in case you’d say no. You’re her grandson, so of course, you’re going to be okay with it.” Grandma May simply did not want to intrude on the couple’s alone time. Well, it was all in Grandma May’s head. There was no alone time between her and Zachary as they were only a married couple by law. They were busy doing their own thing during the day. While at night, they slept on their own beds. They would only engage with each other when there was a reason to. Other times, they would not have the chance or time to chat. Serenity believed it would be a marriage of convenience, and now, it was exactly as she imagined.

Well, that killed the conversation. Without another word, Serenity quietly sat there and looked at the streetscape outside the window. Liberty had just arrived when Serenity and Zachary reached the shop. “Liberty,” Serenity said as she got out of the car. Liberty turned around and noticed that it was her sister and Zachary. With her plump face beaming, she asked, “Where were you and Zachary coming back from?” “I went to his workplace to call him over for lunch. How was it, Liberty? Did you find a job?” Zachary came down from his car and greeted Liberty, to which the latter responded with a smile. However, Liberty appeared beaten when her sister mentioned work. Shaking her head, she replied, “Not yet. I submitted a bunch of resumes, but I either hadn’t heard back or got a flat-out refusal.” After a pause, Liberty added, “When they heard I have a two-year-old at home, they said I’d be preoccupied and distracted since my kid is young. It got me so riled up. Who said a mot

After the meal, Liberty wanted to go home and rest.Liberty felt exhausted having looked for a job all morning.Her confidence took a hit as she did not get to find a job. Thus, she wanted to go home and rewrite a few resumes while mentally preparing herself to see if she could get hired.“Liberty, I’ll take you back,” Serenity said.Liberty looked at her brother-in-law.Zachary said timely, “I’ll head back to the office then.”“Okay. Drive carefully,” Liberty instructed. After her brother-in-law left, Liberty carried her son, who was still asleep, and got into her sister’s car. “If Zachary doesn’t have a long lunch break, you can send him back to his office so he doesn’t have to drive. Else he won’t get to rest during his break.”“Alright,” Serenity said as she started the car.She would never go to York Corporation again.However, Serenity did not say this aloud lest her sister lectured her. Serenity could tell how much Liberty approved of Zachary as a brother-in-law.Lunch

Camryn said, “She’s just using her lack of money as an excuse to start a fight with me.“Do you really think she has no money?”Carrie had somehow become Mrs. Longbottom yet she was still hiding her identity. Camryn had not understood the entire situation yet.Nevertheless, she was certain that Carrie did not need money.After she spoke, a familiar car arrived.It was the car Carrie had always used in the past.When she returned to the Newman family’s villa after getting out of prison, she only drove that car. She could not take other cars. The cars were still parked in the garage. “Come out, Camryn.”Carrie had gotten out of the car and started shouting for Camryn.When the York family’s bodyguards saw her, they simply glanced at her and did not stop her from entering the store. They knew Camryn had always been lenient with her younger sister.Since Camryn did not give any orders to stop Carrie from entering, the bodyguards simply kept an eye on Carrie to ensure that sh

“I want to go to Spring Blossoms as Carrie,” she told the bodyguard who was driving. “Your sister’s people are keeping an eye on your apartment. She’ll get suspicious again if you head over in your outfit. Everything Mr. Longbottom arranged will go to waste,” the bodyguard reminded her.Carrie thought it over. “Okay. Let’s head home first. I’ll change my clothes and remove my makeup before heading over.”She would also check if her stand-in had damaged any of her stuff.If she did, Carrie would tell the stand-in to compensate her.The bodyguard remained silent.Once they arrived at Longbottom Villa, Carrie took off her hyper-realistic mask and removed her makeup.

Although Mr. Longbottom

Mr. Longbottom thought he was not so inferior to men younger than him.More accurately, he was far superior. He had status, money, and power.Which of the younger men could be on par with him unless they came from a wealthy family?Many sons of wealthy families could not compete with him.“I can’t go over because I’m busy these days. But I do miss you too.“It’s more difficult because of the festive season. There are many events, and I have to accompany my family. My wife doesn't care about me, but her request is that I be with her during the holidays because we have to meet our friends and families. Do you understand?”Mr. Longbottom had a wife and children. Carrie knew about it. He had never hid that fact.Carrie did not know if he was close to his wife. Although he said they no longer had feelings for each other, Carrie dared not believe him because he had never let other women take his wife’s place.He also never allowed other women to become pregnant with his children.Mr

Carrie thought she had matured since she could figure out that much. In the past, she would not have understood a thing. Love was about accepting everything about someone. Most people could tolerate their partner’s shortcomings when they were deeply in love. However, without love, even a person’s strength would seem like a fault. Carrie smiled. “Mr. York is a workaholic. Serenity must’ve gotten the habit from him and turned into one herself. I can’t believe she’s working so hard even though she’s pregnant.”“She’s still in the early stages of pregnancy. Going to work is fine.”“Do you need anything else, Mrs. Longbottom?” Jasmine asked.“No. I shall take my leave now, Mrs. Bucham.”Jasmine was on guard and unwilling to reveal much about Serenity. Therefore, it would be better for Carrie to leave. She was not close to Serenity and her friends yet. “Bye, Mrs. Longbottom.”Jasmine saw Carrie out and watched as she got into her car.Once Carrie got far enough from the booksto

Mr. Longbottom had been surprised by her question. He told her coldly that she should refrain from asking unnecessary questions.One who knew too much would not live long. Carrie got intimidated and dared not ask another question. Although she got more curious, she did not try to gather more information for fear Mr. Longbottom would choke her again if he found out. “Nothing. I just asked because I haven’t seen her in a while.”Of course, Carrie could not reveal that she was looking for Serenity. Jasmine would get suspicious if she did. No one around Serenity was a fool. “Seren is busy with work. I rarely see her these days,” Jasmine said.Carrie knew it was a lie. She was aware that Serenity's closest friends did not trust her yet. It made her feel defeated. It had been months since Mr. Longbottom found her and asked her to approach Serenity. Despite her efforts, she still had not obtained Serenity’s trust, let alone become her friend.However, Jasmine and Serenity go

The day ended peacefully. The following day, Zachary ate breakfast and had Kevin drive him and his bodyguards to the airport. They were taking an airplane to Annenburg. Before boarding, Zachary texted Serenity to tell her he would soon arrive in Annenburg. Serenity would be returning from the Murphys’ place. On the other hand, Liberty brought Duncan to Queen Manor to visit Mr. Donald. They would soon become related to each other. Since Duncan was in the city, it was only proper that he visited the Queens. Meanwhile, in Wiltspoon, Jasmine had returned to the bookstore despite it being the winter holidays. She found it rather dull being at home all the time. At the bookstore, even when there were no customers, she could chat with the owners of the nearby stores. While some had closed their stores to celebrate the festive season, many chose to stay open. Jasmine was a month further into her pregnancy than Serenity. Her bump was huge. Luckily, it did not restrict her moveme

After half an hour, Liberty and Duncan finally arrived at the hotel. They bumped into Zachary and Kevin, who had also just returned.“You’re here, Duncan.”Zachary walked toward them. “Hi, Liberty.”Kevin walked over as well. “I told Zachary that you’d be here in no time. Being apart from your girlfriend isn’t easy, right?” Kevin teased.“You’ve experienced it yourself,” replied Duncan as he laughed. Kevin did not respond. He did miss Hayden a lot in the early stages of their relationship. “You two bought so many things.” Kevin saw the items in Duncan’s arms and on his thighs. They were all toys. “Sonny’s getting new toys again, eh?” “Yeah. We bought him some new clothes and toys. I’ve been giving him windmills all the time. It’s time to change it up.”Even Duncan found it slightly ridiculous. He thought Sonny loved windmills just because he saw Sonny playing with them once. That was why he kept getting more windmills for Sonny.Sonny used to be scared of him, but

She would wear light make-up for work to accentuate her beauty. Sometimes, she could not believe the glowing, confident woman looking back at her in the mirror was herself. She had changed a lot after her divorce two years ago. “I’m letting myself enjoy tonight because I’m with you. I won’t have late-night snacks anymore. Going on a diet is too difficult. I don’t want to do it again.”If she gained too much weight, it would be difficult to get fit again because she was happy and did not lack money. In addition, she had Duncan spoiling her. Since she no longer wanted to go on a weight loss journey, she had no choice but to control her appetite and exercise daily to maintain her figure. “I heard the others saying that you have many admirers here. Although they’ve not said anything, even a fool can tell that they’ve fallen for you just from their gazes.”The men who had a crush on Liberty knew she had a fiance who was the young master of the Lewises from Wiltspoon.
