Chapter 3811
“Seren, come here,” the old lady called, waving Serenity over.
She didn’t really need to wave; every time Serenity came downstairs and saw her mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law in the hall, she always joined them for a chat.
“Grandma, Mom,” Serenity greeted warmly, and then turned to Julian and Kiera.
Julian nodded in acknowledgment, and Kiera smiled, saying, “Serenity, it’s been a while.”
Noticing Serenity’s growing belly, Kiera asked, “When are you due?”
“End of May on the Gregorian calendar,” Serenity replied.
Kiera did the math in her head and smiled. “So, a little over three months to go.”
She glanced at Serenity’s belly and hesitated, unsure if she should continue.
Serenity took a seat beside the old lady, joining the other two women on the long sofa. With no room left, Zachary sat on a single chair.
“Miss Caron, just say what’s on your mind,” Serenity encouraged gently, sensing Kiera’s hesitation.
Everyone turned to look at Kiera, making her a bit flustered. She explained, “It’s nothing really. I work at a martial arts gym and interact with many parents and expectant mothers. I’ve noticed that Serenity’s belly looks like she might be carrying a boy.
“Usually, when I tell people they’re having a boy, they’re thrilled. But the York family seems to have a different expectation. I was worried saying it might disappoint you, since everyone’s hoping for a girl,” Kiera laughed nervously and added, “Of course, it doesn’t really matter. Our generation doesn’t favor boys over girls.”
The room went silent for a moment. Then, Serenity laughed and said, “It’s not up to us women to decide whether it’s a boy or a girl. Regardless, this is Zachary’s child, and he’ll have to accept it.”
Zachary quickly responded, “I don’t favor girls over boys, but Grandma might.”
The old lady shot her grandson a sharp look, cleared her throat, and said, “I’ve been eagerly waiting for a great-grandchild, whether it’s a boy or a girl. Of course, I’d be delighted to have a great-granddaughter, but that doesn’t mean I favor girls over boys. Do you have any proof of that?”
Tania, Zachary’s mother, muttered under her breath, “Mom, that’s only because you’ve never had the chance to.”
The old lady never had a daughter, nor did her daughters-in-law. She ended up with no granddaughters, and if all the great-grandchildren turned out to be boys, she’d never experience having a little girl in the family.
The old lady turned and glared at Tania, who tried to stifle her laughter. Serenity and Kiera couldn’t help but giggle too, while Julian struggled to hold back a laugh, afraid the old lady might hold it against him later.
Undeterred by her mother-in-law’s stare, Tania straightened up and continued confidently, “Mom, you can glare at me all you want, but I’m not wrong. It’s just that you haven’t had the opportunity. If you had a daughter or granddaughter, you’d definitely favor them over the boys.”
The old lady patted Tania’s arm and huffed, “How can you say I haven’t had the chance? It’s because you and the others weren’t determined enough! Why give me so many boys? A sweet, little girl is so adorable, and yet you didn’t even give me one granddaughter.”
She sighed wistfully, “Look at how cute Avah is. Every time I see a little girl, I just want to take her home and raise her myself. The old lady from the Johnson family is always on high alert around me, like I’m going to steal her great-granddaughter. She already has a daughter, after all.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 3812
Chapter 3812
The old lady couldn’t help but envy Mrs. Johnson. She had a daughter, and while her own grandchildren were all boys, Mrs. Johnson’s great-granddaughter, Avah, was a sweet, easy-to-care-for child who rarely cried. In over 80 years, the old lady had never seen such an easygoing little girl.
Tania mumbled, “How’s this our fault? Mom, you didn’t have a daughter either. It would’ve been nice if you had. When you were younger, you could’ve adopted a daughter. Maybe we’d have a girl in our family now.”
The old lady sighed, “Do you think I didn’t try? When I was young, a friend of mine had several daughters. I liked one of them and decided to bring her home to raise as my own. But within six months, she fell ill repeatedly and was on the verge of death. She seemed half-dead from all the sickness. I had no choice but to return her to her birth mother. Strangely enough, after she went back, she quickly recovered and was healthy within a month.
“I didn’t believe in superstitions, so I tried again with another friend’s daughter. But the same thing happened—she was always sick, and my friend got so scared that she rushed to take her back, saying that the York family is like a Buddhist temple. We couldn’t raise a daughter of our own, nor could we raise anyone else’s. So, I gave up.”
The old lady knew her in-laws and ancestors had daughters in the previous two generations, but they hadn’t survived.
Serenity gently chimed in, “Maybe it’s because Grandma didn’t know how to raise a daughter. You wanted a daughter so much that you were extra careful, but sometimes being overly cautious can make a child more susceptible to illness.”
She continued, “You raised your sons without much fuss, almost like you were raising livestock,” she chuckled. “But if you suddenly had a daughter, you’d treat her like a precious treasure, which might not be good for her health.”
The old lady had several sons and raised them in a straightforward, no-nonsense way. But when it came to a daughter, her approach would’ve been different. Being overly protective can sometimes have the opposite effect.
Serenity added, “Plus, when you were younger, you were busy helping Grandpa build the family business. It’s natural that you couldn’t give all your attention to a child.”
“If you raised your daughter the same way you raised your sons, Zachary would probably have at least one aunt by now, even if she was adopted.”
The old lady hesitated. “Is that so?” she murmured, reflecting on how she had treated the two baby girls she brought home all those years ago. Compared to the way she raised her sons and grandsons, she sighed deeply. “Maybe I just didn’t know how to raise a daughter, and I wasn’t meant to have one.”
She then made a promise to herself. If she ever had a great-granddaughter, she would simply enjoy holding and playing with her. She would leave the responsibility of raising her to her grandchildren. The younger generation had their own ways of parenting, after all.
“Grandma, Seren just woke up and is probably hungry. Let her eat something first,” Zachary intervened, worried that the conversation might put pressure on Serenity to have a daughter.
Both the old lady and Tania quickly agreed in unison, “Seren, go eat something! Don’t stay hungry.”
The old lady then turned to Zachary, scolding him, “Zack, you should take Seren to eat. How could you let her go hungry? Pregnant women need to eat small, frequent meals. Make sure she eats often!”
Married At First Sight Chapter 3813
Chapter 3813
“Most women gain weight during pregnancy, but look at Serenity. She only has a baby bump—there’s not much extra weight on her,” Grandma commented, expressing her concern.
Zachary responded with a light chuckle, “Grandma, as soon as you see Serenity, you point fingers at me.”
Grandma could be quite unreasonable at times.
Serenity stepped in to defend him, “Grandma, don’t blame Zachary. I haven’t lost weight; I just haven’t gained much. I don’t want to put on too much weight—it’ll be tough to lose later.”
Serenity was conscious of her sister Liberty’s struggles after giving birth to Sonny. Liberty hadn’t managed her weight well and ended up gaining more over time.
Serenity was determined not to let that happen to her. Even though Zachary assured her he’d never act like Hank, she still preferred to stay fit.
“Regardless, you’re not overweight. Eat more if you can. Go on and have something now, don’t stay hungry,” Grandma urged, worried Serenity might skip eating because of the conversation. Turning to others, she added, “Young Master Bucham, Miss Caron, please excuse me for a moment.”
Kiera smiled and nodded as Zachary led Serenity to the dining table.
He sat across from her, watching her eat. There was also a bowl of nourishing soup, but Serenity only drank a single serving before stopping.
“You should at least have another half bowl of soup,” Zachary coaxed. “Otherwise, Grandma will scold me again, thinking I’m mistreating you.”
He tried to pour more, but Serenity quickly pulled the bowl away, declining, “No, I’m full. If I eat any more, I’ll feel too bloated to have dinner later.”
“Don’t take Grandma’s words too seriously,” Zachary reassured her. “She doesn’t mean any harm and doesn’t really blame me.”
Grandma was truly fond of Serenity. Ever since Serenity joined their family, Grandma’s affection had shifted noticeably.
“Grandma dotes on you more than me now,” Zachary teased, pretending to be jealous. “When the baby arrives, I might be completely sidelined.”
Serenity laughed, “Jealous, are you? My sister is coming back soon. She’s always so nice to you; won’t that make me jealous?”
“Impossible! Your sister adores you the most and treats me well only because she wants me to be good to you. She understands our relationship—any disagreements we have are just minor.”
Serenity playfully warned him, “Just don’t go complaining about me to her.”
Zachary chuckled, “Well, even if your parents are gone, I still have your aunt to talk to when I need to vent.”
Serenity rolled her eyes, speechless.
“It’s because you sometimes ignore my advice and do risky things,” he added, making Serenity sigh again.
Why did she marry a man who liked running to her family to complain?
“I’ll only speak to your sister when you leave me feeling completely misunderstood,” he added with a grin.
Serenity shook her head, speechless again.
“Are you sure you don’t want more food, darling? I made all this just for you.”
“How can I eat all of this?” she replied. “You cooked so many dishes, I’m full after tasting a bit of each and having some soup.”
When Serenity stood up to clear the dishes, Zachary stopped her. “Leave it to me. Go and chat with Grandma. Josh and Jasmine are joining us for dinner tonight. You made this nourishing soup, so let’s share it with Jasmine.”
The mention of her good friend’s visit lifted Serenity’s spirits. At least someone else would help finish the nutritious meal she’d been trying to avoid!
Married At First Sight Chapter 3814
Chapter 3814
Unlike Josh’s cousin, Serenity’s in-laws weren’t as strict. But even Josh’s cousin had eased up on Jasmine. Jasmine was over a month further along than Serenity, and her belly showed it. Josh’s cousin had reasoned that since the baby was already well-developed, there was no need for special nutritious meals anymore. Jasmine could eat regular food, as long as she avoided junk food and anything risky for pregnant women, which Jasmine was careful about anyway. She now instinctively checked if her food was safe for her pregnancy.
People with experience always say that the first child is raised by the book, and the second one… not so much.
“Alright, let Jasmine help you eat some when the time comes,” Zachary said while clearing the table. “If you can’t eat, I won’t push you, so don’t worry.”
When Zachary cooked at home, he preferred to handle the dishes and chopsticks himself instead of leaving it to the servants. Everyone at Wildridge Manor knew that Zachary liked to live like an ordinary couple when he was alone with Serenity. Despite being the eldest son of a wealthy family, he wanted a simple, down-to-earth lifestyle. For him, this ordinary life, although plain, brought a unique happiness.
The staff at Wildridge Manor had noticed a change in Zachary ever since Serenity became part of the household. While he remained stern in front of them, they all recognized that Serenity had softened his heart. She was his vulnerability, his tender side.
Serenity’s growing influence hadn’t gone unnoticed. The staff found her more approachable and felt more comfortable speaking to her about problems. They knew that if Serenity couldn’t solve an issue, she would bring it to Zachary, and that was more effective than approaching him directly. Everyone understood that Serenity held Zachary’s heart, and being loyal to her meant securing a bright future under her leadership as the future mistress of the house.
“Seren,” Zachary said, concerned, “don’t take what Grandma said to heart. I don’t prefer sons over daughters. I’ll love our children no matter if they’re boys or girls.”
Zachary was worried his wife might feel pressured to have a daughter.
“I’m not upset,” Serenity reassured him. “Grandma’s just disappointed. If I were in her shoes, I’d be dreaming of a great-granddaughter too.”
She understood Grandma’s longing. If she were a grandmother with three sons but no daughters, she would feel the same way. Imagine having nine grandsons and no granddaughters! And if those grandsons went on to have all sons, leaving her with eighteen great-grandsons and not a single great-granddaughter… Serenity shuddered at the thought.
That’s just how life is. Those who wish for daughters often have sons, and those who wish for sons have daughters.
Serenity wanted both a son and a daughter, not because of any preference, but simply because it felt like the ideal balance. She thought that having both would be perfect.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3815
Chapter 3815
Serenity couldn’t help but chuckle at herself. She had only been married for a year and was already expecting her first child. She used to feel pressured about having kids, and now, before even giving birth, she was already thinking about a second one—a daughter—so she could have the perfect balance of a son and a daughter.
“Honey, I’m going out for a walk,” Serenity said. “Let’s check on Sonny and Rowan and see what they’re up to.”
Zachary nodded and reminded her, “Ask Miss Caron to go with you. Be back before evening; it’ll get windy and chilly.”
“I know, I know,” Serenity replied as she left the dining hall. “We’re at home, what’s there to worry about?”
Zachary, who used to be a man of few words, had become quite the doting husband. In front of Serenity, he now acted like a concerned parent, always fussing over her.
Accompanied by Kiera, Serenity strolled outside to enjoy the fresh air. Kiera, who had followed Julian to Wildridge Manor, had spent most of her time chatting with Grandma and hadn’t really gotten a chance to admire the winter scenery. Although Wiltspoon didn’t get snow, the mild winter here had a unique beauty that wasn’t any less impressive.
“Auntie!” Sonny called out as he spotted Serenity. He was holding a kite, trying to free himself from Rowan’s grip. He managed to break away and ran towards Serenity, shouting, “Auntie, you’re awake! Do you want to see me fly a kite? It’s windy today, and Uncle Rowan and I, along with the other kids, are flying kites on the lawn. It’s so much fun! I don’t want to stop, but Uncle Rowan pulled me back.”
Sonny looked up at her with wide, hopeful eyes, clearly wishing she would let him continue flying kites, just like they did at FC Manor.
Titus had been really good at flying kites, and Sonny missed him already, even though they had just returned from FC Manor earlier that day.
Rowan, trying to explain himself, said, “Sister-in-law, Sonny keeps taking off his coat. It’s windy, and I’m worried he’ll catch a cold. I told him to wear his coat or come inside, but he refused, so I brought him back to play indoors.”
Serenity noticed the coat Rowan was holding—it was Sonny’s. She gently tapped Sonny’s forehead. “You need to keep your coat on, even if you’re feeling warm. You can’t just take it off all at once; that’s how you catch a cold. The coat Uncle Rowan has is light, so it won’t make you too hot. But if you don’t wear it, you’ll get sick.”
Reluctantly, Sonny handed Serenity his kite and took the coat from Rowan, putting it back on. “Okay, Uncle Rowan, I’ll keep my coat on. Can we go fly kites again?”
“We’ve been flying kites for a long time already,” Rowan replied. “Let’s switch things up and play something else.”
Rowan, at sixteen or seventeen, felt a little silly spending so much time flying kites with little kids.
Sonny thought for a moment and suggested, “How about the inflatable castle? And the slide?”
Rowan agreed, “Alright, let’s go.”
The children’s playground at their home was where Rowan used to spend his childhood. He had loved playing there when he was younger, but as he got older, he rarely went. Still, taking Sonny there was a great excuse to relive some of his childhood fun. Jumping in the inflatable castle was surprisingly relaxing and a good way to de-stress.
“Sister-in-law, I’m taking Sonny to the playground,” Rowan said as he led Sonny away. He turned to Kiera and added, “Miss Caron, Sonny and I are off to play.”
Serenity smiled and nodded, watching them go.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3816
Chapter 3816
“Let’s go see how they’re doing,” Serenity said to Kiera.
She couldn’t join in the children’s activities but was happy to watch them play. Kiera, who enjoyed having fun, was glad to accompany her. So, they followed Rowan and Sonny.
“When are you and Young Master Bucham getting married?” Serenity asked, looking at Kiera.
Kiera blushed a little and replied, “Julian wants it to be soon, but I still feel young, so I’m not in a rush.” After a pause, she added, “But I trust him completely, and my whole family likes him.”
Serenity smiled. “I’ve heard Julian made quite an impression on your family. And Mr. and Mrs. Bucham are also easygoing. They’ve been looking forward to having a daughter-in-law for a long time.”
The Bucham parents were indeed approachable around familiar faces. With the close bond between the York and Bucham families, they treated Serenity as a member of their own family, making her feel at ease.
Julian’s case was unique. He could only see Kiera as the woman for him. He wanted to get married, start a family, and fully embrace his role as a husband and father. Mr. and Mrs. Bucham were aware of this and were supportive of his choice. Since Julian found his perfect match in Kiera, they were more than happy to welcome her into the family.
Kiera was exactly the kind of daughter-in-law they had hoped for—strong, skilled, and self-reliant. The Caron family’s martial arts school had students from all over the world, making Kiera not only capable but also respected. Anyone who wished to trouble Kiera would think twice. Her strength and confidence made her the ideal partner for Julian.
Julian’s parents, having faced years of uncertainty about his future, were willing to accept any partner he chose, regardless of age or background. They never imagined their son would find someone like Kiera—young, beautiful, confident, and skilled in both academics and self-defense. Her family background was also solid. To Mr. and Mrs. Bucham, it felt like their ancestors were blessing them, ensuring Julian met Kiera.
Serenity continued, “Young Master Bucham is deeply committed to you, and you’re both at a great age for marriage. Since you love each other, there’s no harm in tying the knot sooner. I imagine he’s feeling a bit anxious—after all, he isn’t getting any younger.”
Julian was just a year younger than Duncan, making his eagerness understandable.
Kiera nodded. “He wants us to get the marriage certificate first, then choose a good day for the wedding.”
The Bucham family had already sent a formal betrothal gift to Kiera’s family. During their initial visit, Mr. and Mrs. Bucham brought a generous gift, but the Caron family initially declined. Once Kiera and Julian’s relationship was stable and both families approved, the Buchams added even more gifts to the betrothal package, which the Caron family eventually accepted.
The lavish gifts from the Bucham family showed just how much they valued this marriage.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3817
Chapter 3817Serenity asked, “So, Miss Caron, you and Young Master Bucham are planning to get your marriage certificate before the New Year?”
Kiera nodded, “Yes, tomorrow morning at around nine, we’re going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate.”
Serenity congratulated her immediately. “Kiera, congratulations! You’re going to be so happy with Young Master Bucham, and you won’t have to worry about him changing his mind. He’s committed to having only you in his life.”
Kiera blushed and said, “Miss York, don’t laugh at me, but what moved me the most is that he truly only reacts to me. Just like you said, there’s no need to worry about him changing his mind. He doesn’t feel anything for other women.”
She had recently learned about Julian’s condition, but she was willing to accept it. Moreover, since meeting him, they had gotten along well, and Julian had proven to be the kind of husband she wanted. Her family had thoroughly investigated him—her father even flew to Wiltspoon to learn about the Bucham family’s reputation and Julian’s character. Finding them upstanding, her father approved of their relationship.
As for the Bucham family’s high social standing, her father had confidently remarked, “Is our Caron family any less distinguished?” Kiera agreed; her family’s status was not low, and she felt they matched the Bucham family.
Serenity smiled and reassured her, “Why would I laugh at you? Any woman in your position would be moved by a man like Julian, or at least consider giving him a chance.”
“Let’s sit down,” Serenity continued. “I have a heavy belly now and get tired easily.”
After taking a seat on a bench by the roadside, Serenity habitually placed her hand on her belly. She felt a gentle kick in response to her touch. Every time she did it, the baby responded.
Kiera looked at her belly with a gentle smile and asked, “Is the baby moving?”
“Yes, it is,” Serenity replied. “But not too much. I think it has a calm temperament. People say a person’s personality starts forming in the womb.”
“Like his father,” Kiera laughed. “Young Master York is also calm. He must be looking forward to the birth of your child.”
“Don’t just talk about him,” Serenity replied, smiling. “I’m excited too.”
As she stopped touching her belly, Serenity continued, “It’s our first time being parents. I’ve taken care of babies before, like my nephew Sonny, but he’s not my child—it’s different.”
“It’s just a shame it’s not a girl,” Serenity admitted. She had been secretly hoping for a daughter, especially whenever she saw Avah, which made her empathize with her grandmother’s wish for a little girl in their big family.
“You can always try for a second,” Kiera encouraged. “Families like yours don’t have financial pressure. The third-child policy is relaxed now; you could aim for both a son and a daughter.”
“Maybe,” Serenity said thoughtfully. “But let’s see in a few years, once this one is old enough to go to kindergarten. If the second child is also a boy, then I’ll stop trying. I don’t want to risk the loneliness of having just one child. Having two would be good for companionship.”
She appreciated the positive family atmosphere in her husband’s home and felt confident they could raise their children well.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3818
Chapter 3818Serenity admired her grandmother-in-law’s way of raising children and grandchildren. Zachary came from a generation of nine brothers. If she and Zachary didn’t have a daughter, she was hopeful one of the others would break the pattern.
A fortune-teller her grandmother consulted had predicted that she and Zachary would have both sons and daughters, but Serenity didn’t want to fully believe it until it came true.
Kiera laughed and said, “The more people there are, the higher the chance! But it’s always more special to have your own daughter, to spoil her.”
“You’re right,” Serenity said, smiling softly. “I just don’t know if Zachary and I are meant for that.”
“With modern science, there are ways,” Kiera suggested, but then quickly added, “Although… if your family is strictly traditional, interfering might not be worth the pain.”
She worried the York family’s strong lineage might prove unchangeable, and artificial measures could lead to more heartbreak if they failed to raise a daughter.
Kiera changed the subject to lighten the mood. “How is your sister and the fourth young master Lewis? Any progress?”
Serenity smiled at the mention of her sister’s happiness. “Liberty and Duncan plan to get their marriage certificate first, then have a wedding after the New Year. They’re coming back from Jensburg soon to make it official, just like you and Julian.”
Kiera was genuinely happy for them. “Young Master Lewis has finally found his happiness. I wish them a long, joyful life together.”
Serenity expressed her gratitude and reflected on her sister’s journey with Duncan. Initially, Liberty had rejected Duncan’s feelings, and the Lewis family had opposed their relationship. But Duncan remained determined, believing his happiness was his choice, and no matter his parents’ disapproval, he pursued Liberty.
Even after Duncan’s accident and fears of being a burden to Liberty, his parents had eventually accepted their relationship. Liberty had taken care of him, and despite their struggles, the couple had emerged stronger.
Now, Serenity was hopeful that her sister and Duncan would continue to face life’s challenges together, just as she and Zachary aimed to do.
Married At First Sight Chapter 3819
Chapter 3819
Zachary and Julian stepped out of the house, followed by two servants carrying a large tray with food and drinks. The servants kept pace behind their masters.
Both men had sharp eyesight and soon spotted their beloved partners seated at a distance.
Without needing to ask, Zachary sensed that Serenity was a bit tired.
In the past, he had seen female employees in his company work late into their pregnancies, even when their bellies were noticeably large. Although their duties were lighter, many continued working.
Having observed this, Zachary assumed that pregnancy and childbirth were relatively easy. He hadn’t considered these women’s perspectives. They kept working, even when pregnant, out of fear that taking extended leave would lead to being replaced or sidelined, forcing them to start over in the competitive environment of a large organization.
Climbing the corporate ladder is a challenging process, with promotions requiring persistence. No one wants to lose their hard-earned positions, so they push themselves to work until around eight months of pregnancy. At that point, even if they wish to continue, companies usually enforce maternity leave to protect them.
Zachary had seen these scenarios play out numerous times. When Serenity first got pregnant, she insisted on continuing her work and running her business. Zachary supported her choice without hesitation.
Now, with Serenity’s growing belly, Zachary realized pregnancy wasn’t as easy as he once thought. Serenity’s stamina was exceptional, yet even she needed frequent breaks after short walks. Before pregnancy, she could explore all of Wildridge Manor in one go without complaining. As a martial artist, her strength surpassed that of many ordinary women.
With the year-end approaching, Elisa had taken on most of Serenity’s company responsibilities, leaving Serenity and Jasmine to only make occasional visits. Jasmine, however, continued going to the bookstore every day. Despite it being the off-season during winter break, she preferred staying active rather than being confined at home during her pregnancy.
Though Jasmine’s family and in-laws provided her with all the support she needed, and money was not a concern, she still felt restless. Used to a life of freedom and activity, she found staying at home monotonous.
Her husband, Josh, adored her deeply and supported whatever made her happy. Working at the bookstore allowed her to read, chat with neighbors, visit friends, and pass the time in a fulfilling way. Earning money wasn’t the priority; her happiness was.
“There they are,” Julian pointed out to Zachary.
He had been worried he might need to search for Kiera and Serenity, and had even taken out his phone to call Kiera. Wildridge Manor was vast, with each season offering unique and stunning views.
Julian, familiar with its beauty, always took the opportunity to explore the grounds whenever he visited Grandma York, marveling at the different seasonal displays.
“I see them. Let’s head over,” Zachary replied. “There’s a pavilion nearby. Let’s call them to join us there for tea and a chat.”
With that, Zachary started walking briskly towards Serenity, with Julian following close behind. On the way, Julian inquired about the marriage certificate process.
“You don’t need to ask anyone for advice,” Zachary responded. “Just gather all the required documents and head to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning. They’ll guide you through the process. Fewer people are getting married these days, so you won’t have to wait in line. It’ll be quick and easy.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 3820
Chapter 3820
In reality, more people were getting divorced these days, but Zachary chose not to mention it. Julian and Kiera were about to get their marriage certificate, and bringing up divorce would feel inauspicious. Zachary wasn’t one to dampen the mood.
Julian smiled and admitted, “This is my first time getting married. I have no experience, so I need to ask questions and have a plan.”
Zachary turned to him with a smile and teased, “How many times do you plan on getting married? I didn’t have any experience, either. When Seren and I got married, it was a flash wedding, and we barely knew each other. After we got the certificate, I even forgot I was married! You’re already ahead of me—you two are in love and have a solid foundation.”
Julian laughed and kept up with Zachary’s stride, throwing an arm around his shoulder as they walked. “Well, thanks to your experience, we all know what not to do.”
Zachary just shook his head.
Julian continued, “Now, the two of you are so happy that people are both envious and jealous. I want to follow your lead and give Kiera a life that makes others envious.”
Zachary gently removed Julian’s arm from his shoulder. “You might even surpass me. But remember, a lot of your wife-pampering skills came from me.”
“Then I guess I owe you some tuition fees,” Julian joked, feeling at a loss.
Julian loved Kiera deeply and was ready to spoil her forever. How did it turn into a situation where he was learning from Zachary? It dawned on him that the Zachary he knew had changed—love had softened him.
Love is a powerful force; it can be as small as letting go of someone or as big as transforming a person. For Zachary, the power of love had undoubtedly been life-changing.
“Seren!” Zachary called out from more than ten meters away.
His face lit up with a broad smile.
Kiera watched Zachary approach with a grin, thinking he seemed to radiate a golden aura, making him both attractive and charming. When she noticed Julian walking alongside him, her eyes turned to her own man. Julian might not be as striking as Zachary, but to Kiera, he was perfect.
“Why not stay and chat with Grandma?” Serenity asked Zachary gently as she stood up.
“Grandma said she was feeling sleepy and wanted to rest,” Zachary explained. “So Julian and I decided to find a spot to relax and enjoy the view. When I saw you two here, I thought I’d join you.”
Zachary reached Serenity and naturally took her hand. “There’s a pavilion nearby, Seren. Let’s go sit there. I’ll have someone bring some food and drinks.”
He then turned to Kiera and invited her with a smile, “Miss Caron, please join us.”
Kiera smiled warmly, knowing that wherever Julian went, she would follow.
The group made their way to the pavilion.
“Have you seen Sonny?” Zachary asked as they walked.
“Rowan took him to the children’s playground,” Serenity replied. “If you listen closely, you can hear Sonny’s laughter. With Rowan looking after him, I’m not worried. Let him enjoy himself for a few days.”
