Married at First Sight Chapter 25
Jessica took pleasure in her boss’s courtship and preferential treatment, accepting the flowers and gifts as they came. However, she refused to cross the line of making out with her boss. This was not a matter of protecting her chastity, but rather a means for Hank to yearn for something he so desired. Jessica’s eyes were not set on becoming a mistress, but rather the rightful woman next to Hank. Nevertheless, Hank had been in a relationship with his wife for many years since college. Liberty used to be the finance director of the company, but she quit her job to be a full-time housewife by the time Jessica joined the company. Jessica had never met Liberty, but through the mouths of old colleagues, she got to know that Liberty gave birth to a son a year into the marriage and became a stay-at-home mom since. It was said that Liberty became way out of shape after giving birth. Hank had whined about his obese wife more than once. Jessica thought to herself, ‘Liberty is such a

Meanwhile, a train of luxury sedans cruised along with one of them being a Rolls Royce. It was Zachary’s private ride. With the convoy stopping at the side of the road, Zachary rolled down his window and looked at the scar-faced man. He asked, “What are you doing here, Duncan?” “I went to get something, but I came back to a scratch on my car.” “Did you catch the perpetrator?” Out of impulse, Zachary asked, “Do you need my help to catch whoever vandalized your car?” “It’s fine. I got her number. I’ll claim the damages from her after I get my car fixed. Wiltspoon is my city. She can run but she can’t hide.” Returning to his car, Duncan Lewis started the engine and told Zachary, “I’m off.” Without another word, Zachary wound the windows back up. The Rolls Royce followed by its convoy quickly drove away.Time ticked away quickly. It was soon evening. Once the afterschool rush hour had calmed down, Serenity intended to make dinner for her and Jasmine in the kitchen when she

Zachary remained silent. The person who chipped the paint off Duncan’s car was his new sister-in-law. Zachary had not met his sister-in-law. “It’s late, Mr. York. I’m going to turn in for the night.” Despite having reassured her sister that everything would be fine, Serenity was feeling the blues as she did not know what to expect from the damages. She said goodnight to Zachary and went to her room. By the time Zachary opened his mouth to say something, Serenity had already disappeared into her room. The flowers on the balcony… Well, Serenity would sort out the floral arrangement when she saw them in the morning. However, Zachary was feeling weird about it. It was as though he was waiting to be praised after doing a good thing. “Mr. York.” With the door swung open, Serenity popped back out and asked, “I see you got the washing machines. How much were they?” “I spent seven thousand on two washing machines.” Serenity did a comparison to the washing machine at her si

“It’s only a minor issue, so I can’t be bothered to submit a claim. Why the sudden question, Zachary?” Zachary fell silent before uttering, “The woman who scratched your car this morning is the sister of my nana’s lifesaver. The sisters only have each other, and the woman is a housewife without an income. They’re worried they can’t pay for your car’s repairs.” Duncan replied, “… Talk about a coincidence. I can’t believe she was the sister of your grandma’s lifesaver. How did you find out?” Zachary lied. “My nana is fond of her lifesaver and often seeks companionship in her. Nana had to ask why she was looking blue today, so Hunt told her what happened.” “Hunt? Is that her last name? The woman who damaged my car is Liberty Hunt. What’s the name of your grandma’s lifesaver?” “Serenity Hunt.” “They must be sisters, judging by the name. I’ll drop the matter since she’s the sister of your grandma’s lifesaver. The money means nothing to me, but I’m the victim after all. I can’t b
Married at First Sight Chapter 29
Serenity tossed and turned all night as stressful dreams were triggered. The disturbed sleep drained her energy by the time she woke up the following morning. As usual, Serenity hung her laundry on the balcony after turning the washing machine on before bed. It was then she realized that stainless steel rods had been installed on the balcony. They were for her to air the laundry. There were also a variety of potted plants stacked on the huge balcony. Many of them had bloomed and budded. No matter the size, the petals were all the intricate kind. Serenity’s attention was immediately drawn to the flowers. She hung her clothes out and got straight to assembling the flower stands she bought yesterday morning. Serenity then displayed the potted plants on the stands. While busting her gut over the task, Serenity got a crawling sensation of a pair of prying eyes. She looked up and met Zachary’s unfazed gaze. His eyes were nothing short of piercing and emotionless. Serenity had lea

“What’s the matter, Mr. York?” Serenity’s voice was heard from the balcony. Chewing on the wrap, Zachary made his way to the balcony. “Your sister’s thing is nothing to worry about. The car in question happens to belong to one of our important clients. It dawned on me last night, so I gave Mr. Lewis a call. He said the repairs cost about ten thousand dollars.” Although she appeared rather lively dabbling the plants, Zachary could tell that she was not at her best, likely due to a lack of sleep last night. The matter with her sister was the cause of trouble in slumberland. Serenity lifted her chin and observed him munching on the wrap. While thinking to herself that Zachary was easy to appease in the food department, Serenity asked, “How can you be sure it’s the car of your company’s client?” Her sister was clueless about the car owner’s name. All she knew was that he was big, strong, and had an intimidating scar on his face. Sonny was scared stiff of the man. “I attended to
Married at First Sight Chapter 31
On the other hand, Zachary spoke to Mr. Lewis on behalf of Liberty and probably put in the good word for her too, so Mr. Lewis knocked a thousand dollars off. Of course, nine thousand bucks were a great deal of money to Liberty now. It would serve as a painful lesson to keep her eyes peeled on the street and stay away from luxury sedans! “Is your husband coming back soon?” asked Liberty.“Yeah. He’ll be back tomorrow.” “Great. My husband and I will be there ahead of time. Are you cooking? I’ll help out.” Having lived independently with her sister for many years, Liberty had so much on the ball from her career, and social life, to domestic life. Now that she was held down by a child and without an income, her husband put her in a position where she could be nothing more than a housewife. The sisters exchanged small talk on the phone before ending the call. “Mr. York, do you work late every day?” “Why?” “It’s almost the weekend that Nana and your parents will come over f
Married at First Sight Chapter 32
Last night, Serenity stayed up late for Zachary to come home so she could make plans with him to shop for groceries on Saturday morning. Serenity called Nana the night before to get a headcount. As it turned out, Zachary’s brothers and cousins were also coming along. The way Nana saw it, Serenity was part of the York family now that she was married to Zachary. By meeting the family, Nana wanted to bring together everybody to introduce the family tree. Since there was going to be a lot of food, Serenity would not be able to carry all the groceries on her own. Hence, she requested Zachary to take her to the market by car. Like the other day, Zachary was startled awake by Serenity’s morning call at six o’clock sharp. Feeling grumpy from the early rise, Zachary had to bottle up his grievance to stop himself from yelling at Serenity. “Mr. York.” Serenity’s clear voice washed away some of the unpleasantness in the morning. With eyebrows pinched together, Zachary answered gruffl

Duncan quickly said, “I’m just happy, really happy. It won’t affect my sleep, babe. I’m just so happy mainly because you rarely say such sweet words to me. I feel insecure and I always feel like you don’t love me that much.“I always worry that you accepted my feelings out of guilt.”Liberty laughed and said, “Duncan, I’m not a three-year-old child. I’m in my thirties and have been through a divorce. When it comes to getting married again, I’m extremely cautious.“It’s definitely not something I take lightly. If I didn’t have feelings for you, I wouldn’t have married you. It’s not out of guilt. I didn’t cause your car accident, so I couldn’t possibly marry you out of guilt.”Liberty was very rational. As she put it, she was a woman who had been through a divorce and had stumbled once in love. When it came to remarrying, she was extremely cautious.There had to be mutual affection, a solid emotional foundation, and the other person and their family had to fully accept her and her s

Zachary laughed. “That’s true. There’s no two ways about it then, he’s born to be our successor from the get-go.”“Who knows, our kid might just be average.”Zachary kissed her again and said confidently, “That’s impossible. The apple never falls too far from the tree. Even if he weren’t as outstanding as I am, he would never be average.”Serenity lightly pinched his cheek. “You’re really confident, aren’t you? It’s way too early to say all this, the kid hasn’t even been born yet. Anyway, let’s go to sleep now, babe.” Serenity yawned.Zachary hummed in concession, “You go to sleep first. I want to watch you sleep.”Serenity closed her eyes and quickly fell back asleep.Elsewhere, Liberty was still on the phone with her husband. They had talked for about half an hour and after receiving support and encouragement from Duncan, the anxiousness that had been suppressed deep down in a corner of her heart vanished.It was true that she did not have prior experience being the matriarch

Although the York brothers respected and were filial to their parents, they were not as close to their parents compared to their grandparents. Tania once told Zachary about his first day at preschool. When he arrived home from school, his parents, grandparents, and uncles were waiting for him. After he got out of the car, he ran toward them. Tania was the first to squat and open her arms, waiting for him to enter her embrace.However, he ended up running past her and went straight toward his nana. After Grandma May held him, he asked his grandfather to lift him, ignoring his parents and uncles. That was because his parents and uncles were busy with work and rarely spent time with him. Kids would get closer to whoever took care of them. Sonny was another example. He and Duncan were like father and son because Duncan often took him out to play and accompanied him. As a result, the Browns felt a sense of danger, worried about Duncan snatching Sonny away. Serenity replied, “Of c

Serenity said, “You’re right. Aunt Audrey will be our pillar. We don’t know much about the Fisher family’s matters, nor do we feel any connection to that family. On the other hand, Aunt Audrey belongs to the Fisher family. She’s Tiara’s daughter.“Although she and my mom left when they were very young, the Fisher family was still her home.“More importantly, Aunt Audrey is very capable. I’ve heard of her stories before I even got married to you. She has contributed to half of Stone Group’s achievements up to this day.“I was worried about Liberty, but your words reassured me.”Zachary hugged her. “There was no need to worry in the first place. We’re all experienced in managing a large company. We can simply teach Liberty.”Serenity smiled. “I think you won’t be needed. Duncan will do it. Stop taking my brother-in-law’s job.”Zachary laughed. After that, he placed a soft kiss on her forehead and hugged her tight. “Seren, I’m glad that I listened to Nana and married you.“Duncan

Serenity looked at her bump and touched it. She sighed. “I haven’t been able to go anywhere after getting pregnant.“Okay. I’ll listen to you. I’ll have Zachary go over to record videos for me.”Serenity compromised. She did not want to worry her sister. She stopped insisting on heading to Jensburg to congratulate Liberty. “Sleep, Seren. Duncan’s calling me.”Liberty sent another voice message, saying, “Don’t reply to my message. I’ll continue fighting with this bed after talking to Duncan.”Serenity replied with a thumbs-up emoji and stopped sending messages.“Who are you talking to this late instead of sleeping?”A gentle voice was heard. Zachary was behind Serenity, draping a jacket over her shoulders. “It’s chilly at dawn, and you’re not wearing a jacket. What if you catch a cold?” Zachary scolded softly. Serenity pulled the jacket closer and said, “My pajamas are thick, and it isn’t cold in the room. My sister has moved into Fisher Manor. She said she couldn’t slee

“If they can’t change their habits, they shouldn’t affect Sonny and ruin his relationship with Duncan.”Sonny would be living with Liberty and Duncan in the future. It would be terrible if he came to dislike his stepfather due to the Brown family’s influence. Serenity replied, “Sonny’s smart. The Browns won’t easily influence him. We raised him ourselves. The only way it’ll happen is if the Browns’ genetics are stronger than yours.”She knew her nephew was intelligent despite his age and he knew how to differentiate between good and evil.The Brown family would not be a bad influence on Sonny unless he inherited their personality from Hank. “Try to prevent Sonny from staying with the Browns as much as possible. We both know Mr. and Mrs. Brown’s characters. There’s no telling whether they’ll change Sonny or not.“Once this semester ends, Sonny will be transferred to a preschool in Jensburg. We won’t have to be as worried as he’ll be away from the Browns and can only communicate

Serenity said, “Our mom lived in that manor when she was young. Maybe she’ll visit you in your dreams when you sleep. If she were alive, she would’ve been happy that you moved into the manor and inherited her mother’s legacy.”Serenity wished to go to Jensburg and live in Fisher Manor for a short period because it was where their mother was born and lived for several years. The position of matriarch was passed from Tiara to Liberty, skipping Audrey and their mother. Upon hearing Serenity’s words, Liberty replied, “Mom probably doesn’t remember the way home.”Her voice was filled with regret.Lisa had passed away at a young age. She was unable to find Audrey, let alone her biological parents’ house. She probably did not remember a thing.Serenity sent another voice message, saying, “Mom will be able to find the way since you’re there. Zachary had accompanied me to visit our parents’ graves. I told them you had gone to Jensburg to work and would take on the Fisher surname. I aske

“Without Mom and Fisher Enterprise as their safety nets, they’ll be cautious about investments. It’ll take time. What I want is to end this as soon as possible.”Caroline said, “Just do as I say. It’s the simplest and quickest method.”She could not be bothered to trick the Clark brothers into committing a financial crime. Their intelligence, or lack thereof, was not worth her trouble. Since they wanted to kill her, she would give them a chance to do so. If she did not die, they would be the ones in trouble. When Belinda was alive, she told Caroline not to show mercy if her brothers were disobedient and troublesome. Belinda also said she could never bring herself to harm her sons. At that time, Caroline thought Belinda was truly cruel. Well, she was not wrong. Her mother could even kill her biological sisters. Belinda had always prioritized the Fisher family. She would not spare anyone who would negatively affect Fisher Enterprise, not even her own sons. Upon recallin

“My brothers think I’m the cause of my family’s downfall. They never had any brotherly love for me to begin with and are desperate to eliminate me now. Between the two of us, I’ll be their final target.“While they can’t get any of the family’s items after killing me, they’ll be able to inherit my mom’s private assets.”Caroline sneered. “I’m going to make a will. If something happens to me, everything I own will be split into three portions. A portion goes to Darren, the other will be yours, and the remaining will be donated.”“Caroline!”“Ms. Caroline!”Liberty and Darren exclaimed at the same time. Liberty said sternly, “Don’t say such disheartening words. I don’t want your assets. You can leave them for your kids in the future.”Darren chimed in. “I’ll always be with you no matter where you go, Ms. Caroline. I’ll continue breathing as long as you’re alive. If something happens to you, I shall also leave this world.”He would stay with her, whether alive or dead. Caroline
