“Seren, I might have to go on a business trip.”Serenity looked up while still in his arms and asked in confusion, “It’s only a few days till your company’s annual break, but you have to go on a business trip?”“It’s a short one to Annenburg. I’ll be back in a couple of days.”Zachary bowed his head and kissed her forehead. His dark eyes burned as they locked on her pretty face, and he asked in a low voice, “Miss me already?”“When are you leaving? I’ll help you pack your bags and send you to the airport.”Zachary was speechless.He thought she would miss him, but she was just confirming whether he was really going on a business trip. She then happily offered to pack his luggage and drive him to the airport. She did not even ask what the business trip was for.Zachary felt depressed.The couple tangled under the sheets several times already, so he thought their feelings were different now.However, it only seemed to be slightly better than before. She was not clingy toward him

Zachary took the time to answer. Seeing there was a nearby pergola, he walked toward it.The fake snow around the structure gave an illusion of a winter wonderland. There was a stone table at the center of the pergola. Zachary scanned the fake snow everywhere, somehow getting the chill of December. He said to Remy, “The fake snow adds a nice touch to the view.” It snowed in Meadspring. By now, the city would drop to freezing temperatures and be covered in a thick blanket of snow. The closest thing to snowflakes in Wiltspoon was fake snow. “Well, it’s only right to decorate during the festive season. The snow in the estate and on the ski slope is real. Can I interest you in going down the slopes?” Zachary faintly replied, “I prefer skiing up north.” Remy smiled. “Oh, me too. We can set a time to go together and admire the snow there. What better way to enjoy the view than up north on the slope?“It looks like something is on your mind, Mr. York. If I may ask if you’re down

Ten minutes later, Ben showed up at the pergola. “Mr. Young-Johnson.” Zachary got up. “I’m sorry to bother you.” Since Zachary was taking a flight back to Wiltspoon tonight, he had to steel himself and intrude on Ben with the little time he had. Ben smiled. “It’s fine. Do sit, Mr. York.” Once Zachary had taken a seat, Ben gave his brother the go-ahead, and Remy told the butler to bring out a pot of tea and snacks. “I wonder how I can help you, Mr. York.” Blushing in embarrassment, Zachary uttered, “Mr. York, it’s something personal. I need your advice on the matter because you and I basically rushed into our marriage.” Ben had no idea Zachary got married on such short notice. Remy had never informed the family of anything of that sort. Ben looked at Zachary in surprise. It was hard to believe that an aloof man like Zachary would choose the path of a whirlwind marriage. “How long have you been married? Have you fallen in love with your wife?” Ben already had an a

“How have you two been getting along since getting the marriage license?” Ben pried.He was swept into a whirlwind marriage with Jane, but they had known each other for eleven years. At least, they were old acquaintances. Besides, Ben had his eye on Jane from the very beginning. He had repressed his feelings for her and did not show affection of any kind as she was not of age. Things changed when Jane was pressured by her family to marry—she had to hire him as a boyfriend. Ben took the chance to set Jane up and make their contractual relationship official. He and Jane got married knowing each other, but it was different from Zachary who married a complete stranger. Ben had a yen for some hot gossip. “I made it clear to my nana before going ahead with the marriage that I could marry her, but it was my business how I managed the marriage thereafter. My nana wasn’t to interfere. “I didn’t tell my wife who I was, so I could observe her in her raw moments and see if she was a

“Mr. Young-Johnson, you’ve been through this. I need your advice. How did you confess to your wife about your identity? What was your wife’s reaction when she found out? What did you do that she wholeheartedly accepted you without running the risk of external factors?” Ben finally got to the bottom of Zachary’s internal conflict. Zachary did not have the guts to come clean because he feared the harm it would bring his wife. He got himself in a sticky situation with the heiress of the Stones as well. If handled wrongly, Ms. Stone might get jealous. The cousins may have a fallout or even turn against each other. It would, in turn, come between Zachary and his wife. Picking his cup for a sip of tea, Ben said, “Mr. York, my situation is different from yours though. Although my wife and I jumped into marriage right away, I set her up for it. I had a crush on my wife for eleven years. I fooled her into getting a marriage license with me. “In principle, we did get married in has

“It’s better you tell her the truth than she realizes it or hears it from someone else.” Ben had been there. Jane might not have reacted so strongly if he had been honest with her. It meant that he trusted her to bare his soul to her. Since Jane got the news from Yves’ mouth, Jane believed Ben had no confidence in her and walked on eggshells around her. Plus, his mother-in-law was convinced there was a social gap between them. Worried Jane would be treated like dirt by the Johnsons, his mother-in-law was once against the marriage. “She’ll take it that you trust her if it comes from your mouth, but the moment she finds out from someone else… She’ll be angrier by the minute, thinking the whole world but she knows about it. The deceit won’t sit well with her. In fact, she’ll conclude it to be a lack of trust and confidence. “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” With Serenity’s temper coming into mind, Zachary timidly uttered, “I sounded her out to see under what circumst
Married at First Sight Chapter 756
The seniors of the Johnson family were most worried about Lee and Remy. Lee and Remy had different mothers, so the age gap between these brothers was not huge. Remy was well past the statistical age of marriage among ordinary people. Many men of Remy’s age were fathers of two children by now. Zachary uttered apologetically, “I would help matchmake Mr. Johnson if I could, but I don’t know many young girls. I might not be of much help, but I can ask my wife to keep an eye out, or I can let my nana know. She’s checking out girls for my brothers anyway. I could ask her to introduce a girl to Mr. Johnson too.” Remy was at a loss for words. He had never met Old Mrs. York, but stories that the old lady was young at heart and broadminded had traveled far. Old Mrs. York should be credited for Zachary’s marriage with Serenity. “Thank Old Mrs. York for me.” Ben believed it would be hard for Zachary to play matchmaker for Remy. Zachary and Tim were the same kinds of people—they cou

Zachary did not stay in Annenburg for long after leaving FC Manor. He flew back to Wiltspoon on the same day. He did not inform Serenity of his flight to surprise her with his return. While on the road, Zachary deliberated about Ben’s advice. Ben suggested that he come clean to Serenity about everything. Elisa’s feelings should not be in his consideration. It was Elisa’s business that she loved Zachary. It was not as if Zachary flirted with her. God knew how long before Zachary could let Serenity know about his identity if he waited until Elisa let go of her feelings as Clive mentioned. Besides, Elisa meant nothing to Zachary. Why should he listen to Clive? It was only a matter of time before Serenity and Elisa’s possible fallout. There was no avoiding it. Zachary should pick a special day when Serenity was happy, to be honest about who he was… “Jim,” Zachary called out solemnly. “Sir,” Jim respectfully responded, on standby for Mr. Zachary’s instructions. “Wha

They had taken a few days of sick leave, but after receiving the news, they miraculously “recovered” and returned to work.However, their behavior did not improve. They continued strutting around the company, acting as if they owned the place, just as they had before.While others completed the tasks Liberty assigned on time, the three Clark brothers always dragged their feet. They only ever barely managed to finish them after repeated urging, and the results were still always far from satisfactory.“Look at the plans and reports you submitted. They’re a complete mess! What kind of work is this? You all sit in the positions of vice president, earning high salaries, and this is how you perform?“Do you think your work justifies your pay?”In the CEO’s office, Liberty sat behind her crescent-shaped desk. The three Clark brothers stood in front of her, having been summoned.Liberty slammed their work results onto the desk in front of them and her face was filled with anger as she be

Darren stopped walking.Caroline stopped as well.“What’s wrong?” Caroline looked at him. “You don’t want to follow my plan?”“I’ll do whatever you ask of me. It’s just, could we delay it for a couple of days? I’m worried…”“Darren.” Caroline’s expression turned serious. “Trust me! And trust yourself. I have the ability to protect myself, and you have the ability to protect me too. I might get hurt, but I won’t be in any life-threatening danger.”She glanced at Liberty and Duncan walking ahead, both had not noticed that the two behind had stopped. The distance between them had widened.Taking advantage of Liberty and Duncan’s oblivion, Caroline quickly cupped Darren’s face, tiptoed, and kissed his warm lips.Darren immediately tightened his arms around her, turning his passiveness into action, and deepening the kiss. The two were clearly in love, but Darren never took the initiative in intimate gestures. It was always Caroline who made the first move.In Darren’s eyes, Caroline

Among the younger generation of the Fisher family, very few could work at the headquarters of Fisher Enterprise. Most of them worked in subsidiaries, no different from ordinary workers.They worked themselves to the bone for a monthly salary of four to five thousand dollars as being part of the Fisher family did not guarantee them high-paying jobs. Those without ability and who were lazy could not even get into the subsidiaries.When Belinda was alive, she had made it clear that the Fisher family’s companies would not support idle people. Those who wanted to slack off and collect a paycheck for doing nothing were dreaming!The biggest benefit of being part of the family was that during holidays, they could receive gifts and a generous bonus from Fisher Enterprise.These holiday gifts and bonuses were distributed uniformly, regardless of age or seniority. Everyone received the same amount—a newborn baby received the same as an eighty-year-old elder.After some thought, Liberty said

Duncan said, “I’m not picky. Whatever you serve me, I’ll eat. Let’s start with a bowl of soup.”He was very cooperative. Indeed, this was how they usually interacted as a couple. He took care of Liberty, and Liberty took care of him.Liberty served him a bowl of soup and then grabbed some food for him. Duncan immediately grabbed some of her favorite dishes and placed them on her plate.Caroline and Darren sat across from them.“How long do you plan to stay this time, Mr. Lewis?” Caroline asked.Although she had said that Fisher Manor was Duncan’s home too, she knew that Duncan’s roots were in Wiltspoon. His career, friends, and family were all there, so he preferred to stay in Wiltspoon.“I’ll go back once Liberty’s work settles down,” Duncan replied.He planned to stay until Liberty had established a firm foothold in the Fisher family.Caroline smiled and looked at Liberty, saying, “Liberty, you’ve chosen the right person this time. From now on, no matter how stormy the road a

“Your company is also very busy. What about your work now that you’re here?”“I have so many managers. If they can’t handle the company affairs, then what’s the point of having them? If worse comes to worst, my three brothers are there too. They’ll help out when they have time.”“Josh and Zachary will also keep an eye on things. Don’t worry, Lewis & Co. won’t collapse just because I’m away.”For Duncan, at this moment, nothing was more important than his wife.Lewis & Co. had his three brothers overseeing things, along with the management team he had trained and promoted. He did not need to worry.After all, he was currently disabled.Whenever his brothers complained about having to manage the company for him, he would just say he was so useless now, even walking was a struggle.Then, his brothers would feel sorry for him and stop complaining, dutifully taking care of the company for him.The group entered the house.“Let’s eat first,” Caroline said.Once inside, the warmth o

The next day, Liberty only woke up at noon. She had barely managed to fall asleep around four o’clock but slept through the morning. Reaching for her phone on the bedside table, she checked the time and was surprised to see it was almost noon.Liberty quickly sat up. She changed her clothes at lightning speed, freshened up, and then hurried downstairs.The first floor was quiet and only the sound of her footsteps echoed through the house.“Caroline. Caroline?” Liberty called out twice, but there was no response.She guessed Caroline might have gone out or was in the yard. The smell of food lingered in the house, indicating that lunch had already been prepared.Liberty walked toward the front door. Just as she reached the doorway, she saw Caroline returning with Darren and a few others.Liberty’s sharp eyes immediately spotted her husband.Duncan was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by his bodyguard, while another bodyguard pulled a suitcase.Caroline and Darren were also c

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
