Married at First Sight Chapter 1581
Married at First Sight Chapter 1581–Remy fell silent for a moment before giving his two cents. “Our parents want what’s best for us, but we may not approve of their methods. We might take it the wrong way and think they’re making our lives difficult.”
“That’s right. Do your parents do the same too?” Elisa asked.
“My parents stay out of my business once I reach adulthood. Then again, they don’t really get involved because my eldest brother is the boss of me. The seniors in my family don’t interfere with the younger generation’s business. Though, they might say something if we haven’t settled down.”
Elisa smiled. “That’s right. I heard the elders of the Johnsons are pretty liberal like the Yorks. No wonder you guys are the 1% of the population. Everything seems to be going well for your lives.”
“Elisa, is your mom forbidding you to date me?”
Elisa gave an honest answer. “That’s right. My mom said you’re from out of town. She doesn’t want me to marry off to a faraway place. She is forceful and determined to separate us. She said that there are many bachelors in Wiltspoon. According to her, it’s better to marry a regular guy than to marry somewhere else.”
Her mother was so eager to stop any relationship from forming even though Elisa and Remy had not reached the stage of marriage.
Remy kept to himself for a bit before uttering. “Apart from the distance, are there any other issues she’s not happy about?”
“No, that’s it. She’s not pleased that you aren’t a local. This issue alone is a tough one. Why would you want more issues?”
Remy let out a smile and replied, “It’s not a hard problem. Give Mrs. Stone some time. She’ll come around to accept me.” He looked into Elisa’s eyes. “I’m more anxious to find out when you will accept me.”
“Oh, me.”
In a much better mood, Elisa kept her eye on the road and responded, “I never had a guy come after me. I want to enjoy being wooed and the feeling of being loved.”
Remy heard her and kept it in mind.
He would satisfy whatever her heart’s desire to make her happy so she would open the door to her heart.
Remy knew that Elisa was not without feelings for him. In her words, Elisa wanted to be one who got all the love and attention for once.
She was the one doing the chasing in the past.
Elisa took Remy to Wiltspoon Hotel.
After parking the car, she turned to Remy and uttered, “Are these flowers for me?”
Remy handed her the bouquet. With his burning eyes fixated on her, he said, “I wanted to give you the flowers, but your brother wouldn’t let me in. I rang the doorbell, and you came out. I thought I should hold onto the bouquet since you were driving.”
Elisa happily accepted the flowers.
“Everybody except my dad disapproves of us taking our relationship to the next level. My mom is the one most against it. You know my mom used to manage my dad’s company. She considers herself a businesswoman and has a tough personality to match, but she has always been gentle and tolerant toward me.
“When I was younger, my brothers would beg me to put in the good word whenever they did something. wrong. My mom would accept my pleas for my brothers no matter how angry she was.”
Elisa sighed. “My family didn’t support me when I fell in love with Zachary. Now that I have no feelings for him and am considering you as a potential partner, they’re not showing me any support either. No wonder I have a blank dating history even though I’m in my twenties.”
Her family inserted themselves a lot in her life.
Elisa carried the flowers and got out of the car before Remy could say anything.
“Come on. Let’s have dinner. All this talk is depressing.”
“Alright. I’ll take you to the movies after dinner.”
To Elisa, there was nothing interesting about the cinema. Heck, she rarely watched movies. Still, she held. her tongue.
It dawned on her that many couples would go to the movies while dating.
It was not like the movies were good, but it was the romantic atmosphere and time spent together the couples were after.
The night rolled around.
The streetlights around Wildridge Manor were lit up.
The entire estate from a bird’s view was quite the scenery.
Married at First Sight Chapter 1582
Married at First Sight Chapter 1582
After dinner, Serenity returned to her room to take a shower before heading to the guest bedroom where her sister was.
Liberty was carrying her son out of the bathroom.
“Sonny is just done with his shower.
“He had a blast today, and now he’s sleepy. I quickly gave him a wash, and he was nodding off in the showers.”
Liberty lay her son down on the bed as the little man was asleep.
Serenity pinched Sonny’s cheek with a smile. Sleeping like a log, Sonny had no reaction to his aunt getting a good squeeze of his face.
“He and Rowan were really running around the place today. It’s a good thing. The pressure to do well in his studies is real even though he’s only in tenth grade. His cousins and brothers performed well academically, so he will be lagging behind if he doesn’t put in the work. His cousins and brothers won’t be pleased about that.
“All that fun is a good stress reliever.”
Serenity’s heart went out to the youngest member of the York family.
The kid was a sweet talker. He would always say hello to Serenity with the cutest voice.
“What’s the matter?”
Liberty thought something was bothering her sister.
“Nothing. I’m just here to check on Sonny. Since he’s asleep, I’ll go to the study. You should get some early rest too, Liberty.”
Liberty replied with a smile, “It’s too early for my bedtime. I go to bed around ten.”
It was only seven o’clock at night right now.
“Carry on with your work. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Don’t think of yourself as any lesser than your mother–in–law and the others. They are familiar and experienced with the system, but you’re just starting. Don’t compare yourself with other people. All experiences start from zero. You can do it.”
Serenity answered, “The stress was unbelievable in the beginning, but I felt much better after my mother–in -law said I have a few years to learn the ropes. I will do my best, Liberty. I’ll look down on myself if I can’t do my job well as the lady of the house.”
Liberty tucked her son in.
“Yeah. Take your time. Don’t let me keep you.”
Serenity drew close to smooch her nephew’s face before leaving her sister’s room. She went to the study.
Looking at the shelves of account books in the study, Serenity was at a loss about where to start.
She took a rough look around, scanning the ledgers on the shelves until she could clear her head. She should get an idea of the situation in Wildridge Manor before moving on to the family’s business accounts
Serenity read the account books in the study while Zachary had a chat with his nana downstairs.
Duncan had not left.
He had been sticking around the Yorks residence for the whole day now
“Grandma May.”
Duncan whispered a question, “Did you put in the good word for me?”
He was aware that Grandma May had a heart–to–heart with Liberty
Looking askance at Duncan, Grandma May replied, “I only have one grandson who is married. I still have. the others to think about. Where am I going to find the time to worry about you too?”
Before Duncan could chime in, the old lady added, “Liberty has been through a relationship that hurt her too much. She’s reluctant to even consider marriage. It’s not going to be easy for her to let go of the past and start over. Baby steps.”
Duncan let out a sigh.
He had mentally prepared himself to wait a few years until Liberty earned success to find a spot next to him. Perhaps she would accept him in her life then.
Still, Duncan was eager and desperate.
He wished he could get the girl right after making his feelings known to Liberty.
Married at First Sight Chapter 1583
Married at First Sight Chapter 1583
“I understand, Grandma May.”
Duncan was down in the dumps.
Still, the frustration only lasted for two minutes, and he regained his fighting spirit. Duncan had not begun the pursuit yet, and for him to lose the will now, he might as well move on.
“It’s late. You should go home.”
Grandma May showed Duncan the door.
Duncan said with a kill, “Are you kicking me out, Grandma May? I was going to have a drink or two with Zachary,”
“I’m not drinking tonight.”
Zachary was quick to say no.
Duncan chucked. “I heard that you don’t really drink at business parties anymore. Apparently, you quit alcohol because your wife doesn’t like you drinking. You don’t smoke, drink, gamble, or solicit Our Mr. York has become a model husband.”
The grandmother and grandson blurted in unison, “Watch and learn.”
Duncan was speechless, to say the least.
In the end, Duncan left Wildridge Manor.
Once he was gone, Zachary stayed to chat with his nana for a while. Since the grandmother and grandson were close, they had a lot to talk about. It took Grandma May to yawn a few times before Zachary said, ” You’re tired. It’s time for you to get some rest.”
Grandma May let out another yawn. “I am getting old. I can barely keep my eyes open when my bedtime. approaches. Still, I’ll get to sleep and wake up before the break of dawn.”
Rising to her feet, Grandma May retreated to her bedroom.
Zachary waited until his nana was in bed before heading upstairs.
Thinking that his wife was in bed waiting for him, Zachary opened the bedroom door to a dark room.
He turned on the light and swept his gaze around the room. The lithe figure was nowhere to be found.
Thinking that Serenity was in her sister’s room, Zachary was not in a hurry to look for his wife.
He took a shower and sat in bed to read a magazine. By eleven o’clock at night, his partner in bed still had not returned.
Since he disliked and was not used to sleeping alone, Zachary went in search of his wife.
Zachary arrived outside his sister–in–law’s bedroom door, thinking that Serenity was inside. He quietly listened for any activity happening inside, but there did not seem to be anybody talking in the room.
In the end, he knocked on the door.
Liberty was already asleep. Picking up on the knocking in a daze, she sat up and asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Liberty. Is Seren in your room?”
“Seren is in the study.”
Zachary answered, “Oh. Sorry to bother you, Liberty.”
It never occurred to him that Serenity would be studying the ledgers in the study.
Soon, Zachary reached the study and lifted his arm to knock on the door.
“Seren.”
With his voice taking her attention away from the books, Serenity was surprised to find that it was midnight.
Closing the book in her hand, she returned it back to its place, got up, walked around the desk, and went to open the door.
“What time is it? Why aren’t you in bed yet? You left your husband all alone,” Zachary whined.
Serenity replied with a smile, “I didn’t notice the time. I didn’t think I’d take a long time.”
She turned off the study light, shut the door, and locked it.
Serenity then intimately held Zachary’s arm. “Don’t be mad, babe.”
Zachary scoffed on purpose. “Well, it comes down to you on what you want to do about it.”
Serenity giggled.
Back in the bedroom, Serenity pinned him down against the door and gleefully teased him. “I’ll show you
what I want to do about it.”
She then hooked her arms around the nape of his neck. Zachary got down to her eye level so that she could seal his lips.
A certain somebody was not too pleased with a mere kiss.
Married at First Sight Chapter 1584
Married at First Sight Chapter 1584
It took less than two minutes for Zachary to take a more active role rather than being passive. He carried his wife to the bed and demanded more.
No words were needed for the rest of the night.
The following day was when Jasmine would drop by her family home for a visit as Mrs. Bucham.
Serenity and her sister were having lunch at the Soxes‘ residence.
Zachary would, of course, be with his wife.
After the visit, Jasmine and Josh would travel for their honeymoon the next day.
It would also mark the end of the brief public holidays.
Then came the time to get back to work, back to school, and back to business as usual.
For the mass public, they were to resume the normal routine.
Apart from watching the shop, Serenity would find the time to return to her hometown with Elisa to check. on agriculture progress.
The seasonal vegetables had been planted as planned.
Looking at the greens all around, Elisa told Serenity, “The administrator said that the vegetables will be ready to be sold in another week.”
Serenity observed the plantation and uttered, “Can we sell everything to the hotels and school cafeterias. we negotiated with?”
“No. We have a huge plantation with a variety of greens. The few hotels and school cafeterias won’t be able to take all the crops. I need to go around and seal a deal with more hotels and school cafeterias.”
“We can work together with a few fixed sellers in the market,” Serenity suggested. “Since we’re only starting off, we can collaborate with anyone who wants our vegetables. We welcome all scales of businesses.”
They wanted to market these vegetables on their own instead of getting their families involved.
Serenity could expect to manage a lot of other commercial activities in the future as she was the wife of the Yorks‘ heir. Her involvement should not be limited to paperwork like account books. She should get at little of the know–how of every trade.
She could begin by bringing sales to the business for the sake of experience.
Elisa was in agreement with Serenity’s suggestion.
The pair did a round of inspection of the plantation before taking their lunch at a local restaurant. They then made haste back to the city.
The vegetables on the plantation would be available in the market in a week. With the clock ticking, Elisa and Serenity had to get back to the city and seek more partners.
Serenity would be working the markets.
Since Elisa was born with a silver spoon, it did not suit her to trail the markets for partners. Serenity might be Mrs. York now, but she grew up alongside all walks of life. She had a better idea of the vegetable prices in the market.
Elisa and Serenity were busy day in and day out. Sometimes, Serenity needed to socialize with Zachary at dinner parties and other events.
Zachary had never been keen on social events in the past unless it was hosted by the Marshalls.
Yet now, Zachary could always be seen at any gatherings he was invited to, and his motive was to show his wife around. He could also introduce his wife to the CEOS to accomplish two things–build a network for his wife and show off his relationship.
Everybody in Wiltspoon commercial scene knew the extent of Mr. York’s love for his wife.
Even so, Zachary got the feeling that he was no longer on Serenity’s priority list lately.
That night, Zachary returned home to find that Serenity’s car was not in the garage. He knew she was not home yet.
It was eleven o’clock at night.
Zachary got out of the car, looking rather upset.
Spotting his boss’s tensed face, Sam cautiously asked, “Did you have a bad day, sir?”
“Is Mrs. York home yet?”
“No.”
It hit Sam the reason that Mr. Zachary was not too happy.
The missus had been home later than Mr. Zachary lately. Mr. Zachary must think the missus was too busy with work to pay him any attention.
“It’s late. Why isn’t she home yet?”
Zachary mumbled under his breath while walking into the house and pulling out his phone to call Serenity.
It did not take long for Serenity to pick up his call.
“What’s wrong, babe?”
“I miss you.”
Although Zachary was not pleased that his wife neglected him, he could not show it in his attitude, especially when he heard her voice.
Married at First Sight Chapter 1585
Married at First Sight Chapter 1585
Sam snickered.
Zachary had completely become a slave to his wife.
Serenity laughed on the other side of the line. “I’ll be home soon. Are you home?”
“Yeah, I just got home. Where are you now? Let me pick you up.”
“It’s okay, don’t trouble yourself. I can drive myself home. Besides, it’s too much of a hassle for you to come all the way from home just to bring me home. I’ll be back in ten minutes. Just wait for me at home, babe.”
“Sure. Drive safe. Remember that you’re driving a car, not flying a jet.”
Serenity chuckled. “I don’t even know how to fly a plane.”
Serenity would sometimes speed on the way home and would soon be dissuaded by her two bodyguards.
When Zachary knew of it, he gave her an ear–lashing. He then told Liberty about it too, in hopes that she would reprimand Serenity for her actions.
Serenity found out Zachary loves complaining to her sister.
Zachary would turn to Liberty whenever his advice for Serenity fell on deaf ears.
Since then, Serenity needed to be mindful of Zachary’s mood in every action she took.
He would whine to his in–laws every single day if Serenity was not careful.
She had never seen such a man–child.
When Serenity complained to her sister about Zachary’s incessant snitching, Liberty explained to her that Zachary was actually worried about her. However, he did not want to get into a conflict with her over a trivial matter. Instead of telling her off himself, he turned to Liberty to do it on his behalf.
He did not snitch out of bitterness, but genuine concern.
What else could Serenity say as a retort?
Liberty was completely on Zachary’s side on this matter.
“Would you like to have anything for supper? I’ll cook for you.”
Serenity said, “The food doesn’t taste the same when I’m eating alone. Besides, I don’t eat late at night. because I don’t want to gain weight.”
Zachary took good care of his physique.
He never ate supper.
Even when attending social events, he barely ate. He would also limit his alcohol intake with occasional few sips. There were times he did not touch a single drop of alcohol.
Everyone in Wiltspoon knew that you should never suggest drinking when doing business with Mr. York. As he once suffered from gastritis, Mrs. York was opposed to the idea of him consuming alcohol, saying that alcohol will harm his stomach and his overall health.
“You’re not fat at all. On the contrary, you’re as light as a feather. In fact, you should eat more, and gain some weight. When you finally become too heavy to move, I won’t have to worry about you leaving my sight.”
Serenity chuckled. “We’re a married couple now, you don’t have to worry about me leaving your side. Even if I were to leave you, where could I even go? I know for sure that you’ll go to the ends of the earth to search for me regardless. Why would I waste all that time and effort? I’d rather spend my time doing some business and earning some money.”
“You’re always thinking about making money, I bet you’re too enamored with money to even notice my existence.”
“Come on, don’t be so grumpy. I’ll head home right away.”
“It’s your fault that I’m acting this way.”
“It can’t be helped. Being your wife is stressful, you know, with all the burden on my shoulders and whatnot.”
Zachary dared not utter a word.
He also hoped that Serenity could continue leading an easy life as a typical bookstore owner. However, Serenity was now his wife and soon the lady of the house. Naturally, she had to carry the burden of managing the household.
Hopefully, they could welcome a child soon. Once the child turned into an adult, Zachary could enjoy an early retirement and travel with his wife–just like how his father did decades ago.
Zachary’s mood improved significantly after the conversation.
As he entered the house, he did not enter his room as he would usually do. Instead, he sat down on the couch and turned on the TV to create an ambient noise within the walls of his house.
Although Serenity said that she would be back in ten minutes, it took her twenty.
She bought some snacks on the way home.
Serenity missed the flavors of local Wiltspoon delicacies, as she had been indulging in exotic cuisine in the many social events she attended with her husband.
She decided to buy some snacks, as she passed by the night market en–route home.
Married at First Sight Chapter 1586
Married at First Sight Chapter 1586
“Babe, I’m home!”
Serenity yelled as she entered the room with some snacks.
Zachary walked over to meet her.
He saw that she was carrying a bag containing several disposable boxes.
“I thought you said that you don’t eat at this hour. Why did you still pack supper home? Are you disgusted by my poor cooking skills? Is that why you rejected the idea of me making supper for you?”
Zachary was petty and would magnify a small matter to the point where he thought Serenity loathed him.
“No way! Babe, your cooking skills have surpassed mine. When I was passing by the night market, I just felt nostalgic and couldn’t help but stop by and buy some of the few snacks I used to eat.”
Zachary did not know how to make these local delicacies. He only ate what the common folk ate for breakfast because he was pretending to be poor. Serenity was in the dark back then, so she always. packed a local breakfast for him, and he ate it because he did not want his secret to get exposed.
He still remembered the time Serenity made him a greasy bacon sandwich. He only ate the bread and left out the bacon.
“Do you want to eat together?”
Serenity walked to the sofa and sat down. She took out several disposable boxes and placed them on the coffee table.
Zachary saw that the opened boxes contained spicy tacos, fried cheese curds, and two BBQ chicken wings.
Zachary turned around and fetched some disposable gloves for her.
“If you want to eat these, you can tell Sam. Our chef probably makes it better.”
“Well, I crave outside food sometimes. I want a bacon and egg wrap for breakfast at Liberty’s diner tomorrow.”
Serenity liked ordinary food.
Zachary knew what she meant and stopped talking.
He silently watched as Serenity ate with great relish as he was not brought up to eat such foods.
Serenity did not buy much, so she finished them all by herself.
However, she was still a little unsatisfied after she finished her food.
“If I didn’t have a full schedule tomorrow, I would’ve bought two bottles of beer.”
Zachary’s face was a little gloomy. He said, “You have a full schedule every day! Do you still remember my last name? How long has it been since you told me that you love me? How long has it been since you bought me flowers or new clothes?
“I was at work all day and came home feeling exhausted. I thought that seeing your smiling face and listening to your soft voice when I get home will make it all worth it. But you weren’t home when I got back!
“Ms. Serenity Hunt, you’re seriously neglecting your husband!”
Zachary made a serious protest.
Serenity was speechless as she looked at him.
Zachary seemed mad at her. He turned his face away and refused to look at her.
“Babe…”
Serenity quickly started to coax her husband.
This man had always been domineering. He was used to everyone revolving around him, but Serenity did not. He seemed to have changed his attitude, but in fact, he did not change one bit.
Serenity thought about it. She had indeed been busy recently, so she neglected him a little.
She came home later than he did a few times in a row.
Since Zachary was accustomed to being the center of attention with everyone revolving around him, he got angry, threw a fit, and protested.
“How could I forget your last name?”
Serenity moved over, hugged Zachary’s arm, and said softly, “Your last name is York, and your first name is Zachary. I really like your name, so I will never forget this name for the rest of my life. That’s unless I get older and get Alzheimer’s. If so, I may forget…”
Zachary turned his face back and stared at her.
Serenity quickly changed her words. “Even if I get Alzheimer’s, I’ll never forget you!”
Married at First Sight Chapter 1587
Married at First Sight Chapter 1587–“Babe, I love you.” Serenity said the words that Zachary liked to hear the most.
“From now on, I’ll buy you flowers every day, okay?”
Buying flowers was easy.
Serenity just had to tell Camryn to prepare a bouquet of flowers for her every day, then she would just give it to Zachary.
“I only have one vase in my office. Alternate days will be good enough.” Zachary’s expression finally eased.
Serenity said, “Why don’t I buy a few more vases for your office?”
“I don’t want people to see me as a vase.”
Serenity laughed and said, “You’re a man. Who would regard you as a vase? Alright, so instead of buying you more vases, I’ll just send you a bouquet of flowers every other day. It’s Friday tomorrow. Shall we go shopping on Saturday? I’ll buy you new clothes.”
Zachary had plenty of new clothes in his closet. Every once in a while, a fashion designer would tailor new clothes for him.
However, a certain someone still liked to receive clothes from his wife.
Since Serenity learned of Zachary’s true identity and had a cushy life, she bought him clothes from big brands, so as not to embarrass his title as the eldest son of the York family.
Serenity bought Zachary’s daily outfits.
Zachary looked at her resentfully again. He was sulking. What he really wanted was not materialistic gifts.
“Babe, you know that the vegetable farm I invested in is now shipping out produce in large quantities. We also need more partners. Elisa and I are just discussing business. Moreover, all of the Yorks’ small businesses will be handed over to me soon, so I should study more and see more.
“That’s why my schedule is packed. But I’m always thinking about you. Besides my sister, you’re ranked second in my heart. You’ve surpassed Sonny!”
Serenity was only busy for ten days, but Zachary could not stand it.
To think when they first got their marriage license, Serenity did not have any comments when Zachary worked until midnight before he came home.
Zachary thought, ‘That’s because when we just got our marriage license, we didn’t have feelings for each. other, so who cares?’
“You can work on your business, but you can’t come back later than I do. From now on, you must come back by nine o’clock every night. You should at least spare me a few hours, right?
“I’ve become a resentful husband because my wife doesn’t care about me anymore…”
Zachary was busier than Serenity, but he still came home as early as possible every day just to accompany her.
“Okay, okay. I’ll come home to accompany you at nine o’clock every night.”
In order to coax this man, Serenity would agree to whatever he said.
That was because her husband was such a domineering man.
Even though Serenity made this promise, Zachary still punished her in bed twice that night.
When Serenity showed up at her sister’s breakfast diner the next morning, she was still yawning.
Zachary told her to sleep in since she was sleepy. It would not affect his overtime anyway.
Serenity was speechless.
It seemed that married couples should not ignore each other.
Liberty recovered well. Under Serenity’s repeated requests, Liberty did not dare work so hard. Most of the time, Liberty asked her two workers to prepare breakfast for the customers while she did some light work. During the time she was hospitalized, the two workers did their jobs well. Although the business was not doing as well as usual, they still managed to keep their regular customers.
After Liberty returned to All You Can Eat, she gave the two workers a raise.
Liberty brought over a plate of bacon and egg sandwich with hashbrowns and asked Serenity, “Do you want peanut butter or ketchup?”
“Ketchup, please.”
Serenity yawned again as she spoke.
“You didn’t sleep well last night? I saw you yawn several times since you walked in.”
Liberty poured some ketchup for her sister, sat down beside her, and asked with concern, “Are you busy recently?”
The vegetable farm had a good harvest. The produce was distributed in batches. When one batch of vegetables was sold out, the second batch would be ready to be shipped out.
“Yeah, I’ve been quite busy.”
The vegetable business and the bookstore alone were not a lot to handle-at least Elisa could help share the burden. The main reason was that she still had to learn and master her in-laws’ family businesses Even though her mother-in-law and Zachary both said that there was no need to worry, Serenity dared not relax.
Married at First Sight Chapter 1588
Married at First Sight Chapter 1588—“You should get enough sleep. Health is more important than anything,” Liberty said in distress.
“Liberty, I’m fine.”
Serenity did not sleep enough last night because of her attention-seeking husband, and Serenity did not. want to share what happened in their bedroom last night.
“Has Jessica been released?” Serenity suddenly asked.
Liberty was silent for a moment before she said, “She’s pregnant.
“She had just conceived before she was arrested. After she was in jail, she was in a bad mood and didn’t find out until now. It’s been three months now, and Hank is helping her to apply for bail.”
However, Jessica would still have to be sentenced after giving birth.
Serenity said, “Her child came just in time.”
Hank still had feelings for Jessica.
He was pressured by his parents and sister to divorce Jessica, but he refused.
He also wanted Liberty to issue a letter of understanding so that Jessica could have a lighter sentence
Hank was cognizant that even if he divorced Jessica, Liberty would not come back to him.
His parents and sister were just too naive.
They always thought that Liberty would do anything for her son and that Liberty would agree to remarry Hank as long as he proposed.
‘Too naive,’ he thought of his parents.
Not to mention that Duncan was already pursuing Liberty openly, so even if Liberty did not have a suitor, she would not go back to Hank.
Liberty made it clear that she would never remarry Hank.
Hank regretted it and wanted Liberty back, but he had no chance.
He could not compare to Duncan.
Duncan also won over Sonny’s heart. Now, Sonny and Duncan got along very well.
There was no way Hank could get back together with Liberty. Moreover, Jessica was forced to hurt Sonny because of him. Thus, he felt sorry for Jessica.
Knowing that Jessica was pregnant, Hank quickly helped her to apply for bail and took Jessica home.
The apartment where Hank and Liberty used to live had been renovated. After Jessica was taken out, they stopped renting the other apartment and moved into their own home.
However, Mrs. Brown refused to go back to her hometown and insisted on living with the couple. Since Mrs. Brown did not leave, Mr. Brown had to stay too.
Even if Jessica was released from prison during her pregnancy, she would not have had it easy.
“She’ll still have a hard time,” Liberty said calmly.
“That’s karma. She deserves it!”
Serenity did not sympathize with Jessica at all.
Since Hank’s family moved into the renovated house, there was no use for Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt anymore.
However, the Browns did not have a peaceful life. Hank had not visited Sonny for a long time. He also had no time and no mood to pester Liberty.
Thus, Serenity asked Noah to take their grandparents back to their hometown.
Of course, Serenity compensated them for their work since the three of them allowed Liberty to live a quiet life.
Duncan entered the diner at this time.
“Liberty, Duncan still comes here for breakfast every day?”
Serenity winked at her sister.
Liberty lightly pinched Serenity’s arm. “Stop winking at me! You’re now Zachary York’s wife, so you should act like it.”
Serenity muttered something, but Liberty could not hear her clearly.
Married at First Sight Chapter 1589
Married at First Sight Chapter 1589–Duncan walked in but turned around and left before he said hello to the Hunt sisters.
Serenity was puzzled and thought, ‘What does this mean?
Is he retreating?
‘Or did he leave because he saw me here?”
Just as Serenity was guessing what Duncan meant by leaving so quickly, Duncan came in again.
This time, he had a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
It turned out that he forgot to take the bouquet from his car.
Serenity was stunned.
She looked at her sister, but she saw that Liberty’s face was stoic.
Since it was still early, there were no other customers in the diner except Serenity. The two shop assistants were sitting beside them eating their breakfast.
Seeing that there was a customer, the two of them wanted to get up and tend to the customer, but when they saw that it was Duncan, the two of them sat down again and continued to eat their breakfast.
Duncan’s pursuit of Liberty was so obvious that they could not even pretend not to know.
“Liberty.”
Duncan came over holding the bouquet.
“Serenity, you’re early.”
He greeted Serenity.
Serenity said, “I haven’t eaten the signature breakfast in my sister’s diner in a while, and I was craving it, so I came here early. Mr. Lewis, you’re also very early.”
It was only seven o’clock in the morning.
Serenity’s husband was still asleep when she left the house.
Before she left, she deliberately left a note on the bedside table for Zachary so that he would not wake up and lose his temper when he did not see her. He liked to blame her for not waiting for him and for ignoring him.
In the future, Serenity would have to spend more time caring about him. Otherwise, her back would break
“I usually come at this time.”
Duncan replied before he asked, “Where’s Sonny?”
“Sonny is at my house. Jim will send him to his lessons later.”
Liberty was busy with her diner and had to get up early every day. It was not convenient for her to take Sonny with her, so the little guy stayed with Serenity at night.
In the morning, Jim would send Sonny to class.
Duncan hummed, then handed the bouquet to Liberty. His black eyes were fixated on Liberty as he said, ” Liberty, this is for you.”
Liberty stood up.
She faced Duncan’s intense gaze frankly and declined his bouquet. “Thank you, Mr. Lewis, but I don’t like flowers. I’ll cook you breakfast.”
Duncan was mentally prepared for Liberty to refuse his bouquet.
When he confessed his love to Liberty, Liberty also made it clear to him that she had no feelings for him.
Thus, he was mentally prepared to be rejected by Liberty all the time.
“I’ll have the same thing,” Duncan said.
Liberty walked away.
Duncan did not follow her around but sat opposite Serenity and put the bouquet on the table.
Serenity kept looking at the two of them.
After Duncan sat down, Serenity lowered her head to eat her breakfast.
“Zachary didn’t come with you?”
Duncan looked for a topic to chat with Serenity about, so as not to make it so awkward.
“He’s still asleep. I have to go to the bookstore, so I left the house early.”
Married at First Sight Chapter 1590
Married at First Sight Chapter 1590–Duncan smiled and said, “Oh.”
Serenity looked at her sister’s back, lowered her voice, and asked Duncan, “The florists aren’t even open at this hour. Did you bring this bouquet from home?”
Duncan replied, “Yeah, I cut all the flowers that I could in the yard and made them into a bouquet myself.” “No wonder,”
Serenity glanced at the bouquet of flowers.
There were all kinds of flowers in the bouquet, not just roses.
Duncan was a rough man. Although there were flowers and trees in his villa, he never once admired them. The butler had arranged for someone to buy them so as to add a bit of color to the landscape.
Thus, not all of them were roses.
Duncan cut all the flowers that bloomed in the villa to make this bouquet.
The butler felt distressed when he found out that Duncan had cut off all the blooming flowers in the villa However, he supported Duncan in pursuing his crush. Thus, the butler decided to go to the flower field at Wildridge Manor to buy a full load of roses to put in the open space of the villa. This would make it more convenient for Duncan to cut flowers and give them to his crush.
Duncan kept silent for a while before he asked Serenity in a low voice, “Is it because my bouquet is too complicated? Is that why your sister hates it?”
“No. My sister just doesn’t like receiving flowers from you, Mr. Lewis.”
Duncan asked, “When she was with Hank, did Hank give her flowers?”
“Yes. When Hank was chasing after my sister, he gave her a lot of gifts, mostly handwritten love letters. After all, they were still in school at that time.
“Then he invited my sister to watch a movie and eat snacks.”
The two sisters depended on each other since childhood. Thus, Serenity had witnessed Hank’s pursuit of Liberty.
Serenity witnessed as Hank and Liberty went from being friends to lovers. They got married and divorced, and they were now back to being strangers.
Duncan suddenly felt that he had done too little.
He was not as good as that sc*mbag Hank.
“Serenity, thanks for giving me your suggestions.”
Serenity said, “I didn’t give you any suggestions.
“I’m on my sister’s side. No matter what she decides, I will support her. Mr. Lewis, don’t try to use me.
Duncan smiled. “You’re Liberty’s younger sister and the most important person to her, so I won’t use you. I will only dote on you as my younger sister. If Zachary bullies you in the future, you can tell me, and I’ll stand up for you.”
Serenity wanted to say that Duncan was really not Zachary’s opponent, but she swallowed those words.
Liberty quickly cooked Duncan’s breakfast and brought it over.
The conversation between Duncan and Serenity stopped.
Serenity soon had her fill. She got up and said to her sister, “I’ll head to the store first.”
Liberty said, “Alright, drive slowly.”
“Okay.”
Serenity said to Duncan, “I’ll get going. You can take your time.”
After she finished speaking, she took her bag and walked out of the breakfast diner.
At this time, there were more customers having breakfast.
Liberty went to greet the customers, and Duncan did not want to disturb her, so he ate his breakfast in silence.
Occasionally, when no one was paying attention, Duncan would secretly take pictures of the busy Liberty with his phone.
In his free time, he admired the photos he secretly took and fantasized about the day that Liberty would cook for him.
If Liberty married him, he would never let Liberty be so busy.
Duncan wanted to cook for Liberty, but his cooking skills were not great and could not be compared with Zachary’s.
After all, the sons of the York family were all trained by Grandma May to be competent chefs.
Liberty did not even know when Duncan left the diner.
He left the money for his breakfast on the table and put the bouquet of flowers at the cash register.
Liberty did not notice that he was leaving, so she did not know that he had already placed the bouquet on the counter.
After leaving the diner, Duncan turned his head to look at the busy Liberty for a moment before he reluctantly got into the car and went back to his office.
