Married At First Sight Chapter 1211

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1211

Serenity said, “Because I was the one who told him to pluck your hair.”

“You told him to do it? Are you mad? Why do you want to pluck my hair? How could that runt obey your orders? Serenity, did you give Noah a lot of benefits?”

She gave his youngest grandson benefits but not to her own grandfather. Sure enough, there was no point in raising a girl. She did not know how to take care of her grandfather after getting rich.

“I heard you spread rumors saying my dad wasn’t your biological child. My dad died more than ten years ago, so he can’t refute the accusations. As his daughter, I have to refute it for him.

“According to inheritance law, mom and you can inherit a part of Dad’s assets. The results will be the same whether we go to court or negotiate. You wouldn’t have gotten into to court or negotiate. You wouldn’t have gotten into this situation if you weren’t this greedy.”

Serenity took out the DNA test result. “I told Noah to pluck your hair to do a DNA test. Dad can’t get a DNA test done with you, but it’ll be the same if I do it instead. I just came from obtaining the results today.

“The results show that we’re related by blood. You might not know what that means, but your grandsons will. Go ahead and ask your grandsons to explain it to you.”

The Hunt family was speechless.

“Do you still want to insist that my dad isn’t your biological child? My parents treated you and Grandmom so well when they were alive. Are your hearts made of stone? How could you say that my dad isn’t your son just because you want to give my house to your second grandson?

“To be honest, I hoped my dad wasn’t your biological son. That way, I might be able to understand. The way you’re so heartless and ruthless to my sister and me is as if you’re not our grandparents.

Old Mr. Hunt looked at the report, then at Serenity, and turned his head to look at his children and grandchild. For a moment, he did not know what to say.

He knew very well whether or not Scott was his flesh and blood.

However, they thought they could say whatever they wanted since Scott passed away more than a decade ago. Scott could not come back and refute their words anyway.

“Mike, what’s a DNA test?”

Old Mr. Hunt was tongue–tied for a while before asking Mike.

Mike looked a little ashen. When his grandparents started spreading those rumors, he already knew that it would not work. That was because a simple DNA test would prove the rumor wrong.

His grandparents refused to listen. They said Serenity could not do anything as long as they refused to get a blood test done.

Unexpectedly, Serenity used Noah to pluck Old Mr. Hunt’s hair and had a DNA test done. Now that the results were out, what else could they say?

“Serenity, give me some time to talk with Granddad,” Mike spoke to Serenity, then closed the door and pulled his grandfather back into the room.

Ten minutes later, Mike opened the door again and said, “Call your sister. Let’s find a place to sit down and talk about this. We’ll settle this today.”

They would stop causing trouble.

They were the ones being unreasonable in this situation.

Serenity had the York family as her backer now, so they could not fight back at all. Furthermore, Serenity was in the right.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1212

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1212

Mike persuaded his granddad to come to an agreement with Serenity and Liberty regarding the house.

“Okay,” Serenity agreed.

If negotiation was on the table, she wanted it. She did not want to waste time on a lawsuit.

An hour later, Zachary arranged a private room in Wiltspoon Hotel for the Hunt family to talk.

Liberty brought Sonny with her.

Old Mr. Hunt called John back too. He was fighting for Scott’s house because he wanted John to inherit it. John had always been his favorite grandson, so he liked to discuss everything with John.

After hearing that Serenity used their youngest cousin to get a DNA test done with Old Mr. Hunt in advance, John was cognizant that continuing their actions would only paint them.

There was a mishap with Harriet’s cosmetic surgery too. She was supposed to change her face to Serenity’s, but she came out looking like their other cousin instead…

It would be hard to carry out the plan of Harriet replacing Serenity as the missus of the York family.

The Hunt family was no match for the Yorks. Furthermore, there were many people in the York family.

The young men of the York family were all giants among men. They had the highest status. in all of Wiltspoon.

The Hunts were unreconciled and wanted to bully Serenity and her sister but only ended up humiliating themselves. The two sisters had powerful backers now. Even if they did not, with their temperament, they would still go to court in order to get the house back.

From the beginning, the Hunt family was fighting a losing battle.

“Serenity and Liberty, you two have spread your roots in Wiltspoon and are living well now. You probably won’t go back to the village to live. Name a price. Sell the house your parents left behind to us.”

Mike spoke first. “If you don’t want to sell it, then give some money to Grandmom and Granddad as per their share, and they’ll give up the estate. The house will belong to you and your sister, but let our grandparents stay there until they pass. They’ve lived there for many years and are used to the house.”

Frankly, they just did not want to take in Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt to live in their own villas.

Firstly, their wives did not get along with Old Mrs. Hunt and were prone to conflicts.

Secondly, the two elders did not take care of their hygiene; the youngsters felt that Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt were dirty. They were also afraid that both of them would die in their villas and taint the property.

In any case, Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt had always lived with Scott. After Scott and his wife died, they continued to stay in Scott’s house, so just let them live in that house until they passed too.

“Grandmom and Granddad didn’t just give birth to my dad. When my parents were alive, it was always them taking our grandparents to the doctor whenever they felt unwell, and it was always my parents who took care of them. However, no matter how much they did, they still couldn’t compare to you people who only pay lip service.

“You can’t expect to toss the responsibility of caring for them in their old age to my dad too, right? My dad passed on and can’t take care of them, but the insurance payout from his death went to Grandmom and Granddad. It’s equivalent to paying back the money they used to raise him.

“My dad isn’t around anymore, but you’re all alive and well. Furthermore, you’re doing well financially. Every family lives in a small self–built villa, and you all live good lives. Despite that, you don’t want to take them in to live with you and want them to continue living in my house instead. Fine, we have no problems with that.”

Serenity added, “However, more than ten years ago, Grandmom and Granddad signed an agreement with Liberty and me. We won’t support them while they’re alive, and we won’t have anything to do with them when they die either. If they’re staying long–term in our house, shouldn’t you be compensating us a little?”

While she did not want to split hairs, they were still trying to bully her and her sister.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1213

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1213

The Hunt family was speechless.

They exchanged glances, and then Mike said, “Serenity, discuss it with your sister and name a price. Just sell the house to us.”

“If we offer to sell it, will it be you or our grandparents paying?”

Mike said, “Our grandparents are the ones staying in the house, so of course they’ll be the ones paying. However, they don’t have much savings after Grandmom got sick. All of us pitched in to pay for her medical fees. They may not be able to fork out a large amount of money at once.

“You can let them sign an IOU. They’ll pay you as much money as they can now. If it’s not enough…”

“Can they owe you the money?”

Serenity could not help but ask, “They’re old and don’t have a source of income. How are they going to buy a house?”

Mike was silent.

Old Mr. Hunt heard his grandchildren’s conversation and said to his two sons angrily, “You brothers help me pay for the house. Scott’s share can be considered paid for since your mom and I are staying in the house now.”

Stuart and Christ echoed each other, “Dad, we don’t have a job and have no income now. Our children are the ones supporting the family now. How can we afford to buy a house for you?”

Old Mr. Hunt looked at his two grandsons.

Mike said, “Granddad wanted to give Uncle Scott’s house to John. If we’re buying it, then. John should pay for it. That way, we won’t have any objections if John inherits the house.” John said, “I have a house in town. I don’t need another house. If Granddad has property, I want a stake in it. If he doesn’t, then I won’t pay. Granddad gave birth to my dad, but he didn’t give birth to me. The responsibility of buying a house for Granddad for him to spend his retirement doesn’t belong to me.”

Old Mr. Hunt was livid upon hearing what his most precious grandson had said.

Liberty and Serenity knew that their relatives were shameless, but they were still appalled.

John did not feel shameless and said, “Why don’t you chip in for letting our grandparents stay in the house too, Serenity? At most, you can ask them to pay you some rent. Houses in rural areas aren’t expensive to rent. A house will cost three to four hundred dollars a month. Our grandparents can afford that much.

The others agreed with him.

However, Old Mr. Hunt said, “Your grandmom and I have to keep our money for retirement. You all should pay for the rent. Don’t tell me you can’t afford it. Both of you have families. too, can’t you afford a rent of a couple of hundred dollars a month?”

He glared at his two sons and scolded them, “Your mom and I were able to raise all of you when you were young. Scott passed away young, but you two lived a good life.

“When Scott and his wife passed, your mom and I suffered so much scolding to get the insurance payout, and who did we give it to? We gave it to you so you could have the capital to start your own business. It’s thanks to us that you were able to live such a good life.

“Can’t you afford to support us in our old age now? Liberty, Serenity, you two will buy from us the land that was allotted to us.

“Your grandmom and I will continue to stay in the house, and the rent and electricity bills will be split equally among your three uncles. You just collect the rent from them. Ten years ago, we signed an agreement that you don’t have to provide for us when we’re alive, nor bury us when we’re dead. We’ll keep our word. You two don’t have to care about us. I still have three sons and a bunch of grandchildren. I’m not afraid there’s no one to bury me when I die.”

In fact, Old Mr. Hunt was a little hurt. He had many children and grandchildren who all lived good lives, but when it came to supporting him and his wife in their old age, they pushed the responsibility among each other, saying that they could not afford to support the two elderly.

Back when they were poor, his wife and he were able to raise four sons and two daughters. However, none of their sons or grandchildren could support them in their old age. “How much is the price for a square foot of land there?” Serenity asked.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1214

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1214

“A few thousand per square foot.”

Serenity looked at her two uncles and two cousins and asked them, “Do you have any objections? If you don’t, then we’ll go with Granddad’s idea. I’ll get someone to help me write the contract, then we’ll notarize the agreement. Granddad and Grandmom will have no share in the property my parents left behind in the future.

“They don’t need to move out, but you have to pay for the rent and utilities every month. We won’t take advantage of you, but don’t even consider taking advantage of us either.”

Zachary leaned into Serenity’s ear and whispered, “Transfer the ownership first. Although the name on the title deed is your dad’s, your grandparents are still around. Your sister and you will only be able to inherit it completely if they sign to give up their share of the inheritance.”

If the title deed was transferred to the sisters‘ names, there would be no need to wrangle with those people in the future.

Serenity nodded.

The Hunt family had no objections. Mike said, “All right, Serenity. You’ll buy Grandmom and Granddad’s share of the land. In the future, our grandparents will stay in your house while we pay for their rent and utility bills. However, we still have to go back and talk to Uncle David.

“You two can come back tomorrow with the agreement and call the mayor to witness the signing.”

“Deal.”

Liberty agreed easily.

It was also good for the sisters to negotiate the settlement of their parents‘ inheritance without any more fussing.

The Hunts were in a hurry to go home after the talk. When Old Mr. Hunt walked out of the hotel, he turned to look at the two Hunt sisters for a long time. His pursed mouth moved, but he did not say anything in the end.

After they left, Liberty held her son’s hand and said to her sister and brother–in–law, “Seren and Zachary, I’ll go back with Sonny now.”

“I’ll send you back.”

Liberty smiled. “No need. I came here on my e–bike.”

“Go get a car, Liberty, or I can give one to you.”

“No, I’ll go look for a car when I’m free in a couple of days. I have money to buy a car for

myself. I won’t be as busy during the weekend, so accompany me then.” Liberty always refused her sister and brother–in–law’s offer to give her a car or a house.

She had money to buy a car. As for a house, she could not afford to buy one now, but her business was doing well. She would definitely earn enough to buy a house after working for several years.

Liberty left Wiltspoon Hotel with Sonny on her e–bike.

Along the way, they met Duncan again.

Liberty felt that Wiltspoon was too small. She bumped into Duncan wherever she went.

Duncan noticed Liberty first and honked loudly at the mother and son. Liberty did not know it was him. When she heard someone honking at her, she glanced back to see Duncan waving at her with a smile.

When Liberty saw Duncan pulling over to the side, she stopped her bike.

Duncan parked the car and walked up to the mother and son. He reached out to pat Sonny, who was sitting in the child’s seat. His eyes were very gentle as he looked at Sonny.

“Where are you taking Sonny, Liberty?”

At the same time, a drove by. When the female driver saw that scene, she immediately said to the person in the passenger seat, “Mrs. Lewis, is that Duncan?”

Married At First Sight Chapter 1215

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1215

The driver was Lily.

The car she was driving belonged to Mrs. Lewis and it was lent to her to use while she was in Wiltspoon.

Mrs. Lewis really liked Lily and tried her best to matchmake her with Duncan. However, Lily was not in a hurry to pursue Duncan. Instead, she accompanied Mrs. Lewis everywhere when she was free so that Mrs. Lewis would like her more.

She was trying to appeal to her mother–in–law first.

At Lily’s words, Mrs. Lewis turned her head to look outside the window. Lily was driving, and there were many cars behind them, so she could not suddenly brake or slow down. They were already a distance away by the time Mrs. Lewis turned to look.

However, a mother could still easily recognize her son.

“It’s Duncan,” Mrs. Lewis said confidently.

“Who’s that woman talking to him?”

Mrs. Lewis did not see Liberty clearly and said, “Lily, there’s an intersection ahead where you can make a U–turn. Let’s go back and see who that woman is.”

Her youngest son seldom interacted with the opposite sex unless they were family or talking about business. That was why he was still single.

Mrs. Lewis felt that the scar on her son’s face was too scary.

It became the main reason he was still single.

“Okay.”

Lily also wanted to know who that woman was.

Duncan was the target she wanted to pursue now. Harmon Corporation wanted to do business in Wiltspoon. If she could marry Duncan, it would be a great help to the Harmon family.

Duncan and her together would be a strong duo.

She appreciated a man like Duncan who could make a living for himself without relying on his family. Even if he had a scar on his face, he was very masculine. She liked and admired him very much.

Duncan did not know that his mother and Lily saw him talking to Liberty.

After asking Liberty, he rubbed Sonny’s head and wanted to carry him, but the boy refused. Thus, Duncan had to give up.

“I went out to handle some business, but it’s done now. I’m taking Sonny back for a nap.”

Liberty asked him, “Where are you going, Mr. Lewis? We won’t take up your time if you’re busy.”

Duncan smiled. “I’ve just finished dealing with my business too. I’m going back to the office now.”

He looked at Sonny and said to her, “You should buy a car, Liberty. A car will be safer if you’re taking Sonny with you. It’s always more dangerous on the road with a bike.”

“I told Seren to accompany me to a dealership this weekend. I’ll buy a car if one catches my eye. You’re right, it’s time I get a car. It’ll be more convenient when I have to stock up on ingredients too.”

She thought about buying a cargo motorcycle, but after thinking about it, it was better to buy a sedan, which would be more convenient to move the ingredients she needed for her shop.

Duncan said, “A close acquaintance of mine runs a car dealership. How about I bring you there?”

“No need. Seren will go with me. You’re a busy man. I shouldn’t take up your time.”

“Didn’t you say you’d be going on the weekend? I don’t have work during the weekend either, and I have nothing to do at home. Serenity’s knowledge of cars definitely won’t be as comprehensive as what men know.”

Duncan tried to come up with a reason to accompany Liberty.

Liberty laughed and said, “Seren doesn’t know much, but Zachary does. Zachary doesn’t work during the weekend either.”

Duncan stopped talking.

He forgot about Zachary.

If Serenity was accompanying her sister to look for a car, there was no way Zachary would not tag along.

“Then, let me know if you need any help.”

Married At First Sight Chapter 1216

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1216

“Okay. Thank you, Mr. Lewis.”

Liberty thanked him politely and added, “We’ll be going now. Goodbye.”

Duncan said, “Drive safe. Bye, Sonny.”

Sonny waved at him. “Bye bye, Dunc.”

Liberty rode her e–bike and left with her son.

Duncan stood where he was and watched the mother and son’s backs fade away. When they were out of sight, he turned back to his car, started the engine, and went back to his office.

After his car left, the parked a hundred feet behind his car drove off as well.

“Drive ‘faster, Lily. Overtake Duncan’s car and go further ahead to see who that woman is.”

The two did not drive past Duncan after making the U–turn because they were afraid of being discovered by him, so they stopped not far from where he parked. However, they could not see the woman’s face clearly from that distance.

Mrs. Lewis saw Liberty before, but that was when Liberty was still fat.

Now that Liberty had lost dozens of pounds, Mrs. Lewis could not recognize her anymore.

Furthermore, she only glanced at Liberty a few times during the Stone family banquet. She did not pay attention to Liberty.

Lily hummed.

She stepped on the gas and sped up behind Duncan’s car. She soon overtook his car.

Duncan only saw his mother’s car when it overtook him. However, he did not catch up to say hello to them. There was no need for him to ask to know that his mother was with Lily. He was afraid Lily would pester him again if he tried to catch up with them.

Lily was someone who made a killing in the business world. When she had her eyes on a man, she pursued him openly and fearlessly. She was a very bold woman.

Liberty rode a bike, so she was not as fast as a car.

A few minutes later, Lily’s car passed by Liberty.

Mrs. Lewis lowered the window to have a look. She could not see Liberty’s face since she was wearing a helmet, but she saw Sonny sitting in the children’s seat.

She quickly raised the window again.

Her expression was dark.

“Do you know her, Mrs. Lewis?” Lily asked curiously.

She saw Sonny too.

The woman had a child, which meant she had a husband. Lily’s nervousness disappeared when she realized there was no way the woman would become her love rival.

Mrs. Lewis said, “If my guess is correct, she’s Liberty Hunt. She’s Mrs. Stone’s niece as well as the Mrs. York’s older sister.

“I’ve seen her before, but she was very fat when we met. I couldn’t help but dislike her when I saw her back then. How could she neglect herself so much to have gotten so fat? I’d be more surprised if her husband didn’t cheat on her or divorce her.”

Mrs. Lewis did not like Liberty.

Perhaps it was because Liberty made a bad first impression on her.

She felt that Liberty was also to blame for her failed marriage. Liberty did not know how to love herself and ran circles around her husband and child after marriage. Not only did she not know how to improve herself, but she also did not know how to maintain her figure either.

During the time of the divorce, Mrs. Lewis estimated that Liberty weighed more than two hundred pounds.

Even if Liberty was tall, she was hideous because she was too fat.

“She’s Mrs. York’s sister? The one who divorced?”

Lily heard Mrs. Lewis talk about the Hunt sisters before, but Mrs. Lewis mentioned Serenity more. After all, Serenity’s status was different now. She was the missus of the York family. If nothing went wrong, her husband would be the next head of the family.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1217

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1217

They lived in a small circle where paths intersected frequently. They would cross paths eventually.

Liberty was a divorcee, and Mrs. Lewis only brought her up in passing. Lily only remembered a bit about Liberty because she was Serenity’s sister.

“Yes, she divorced last yet. Her husband had an affair. I heard he was violent toward her too and wanted to go Dutch with her when it came to living expenses. Liberty stayed at home to raise their son and was considered a housewife, yet her husband wanted to go Dutch with her. It was clear it was because he disliked her, but she didn’t realize it.

“I heard she only found out that her husband was cheating on her when she received evidence of his affair. Her husband was very stingy with her, but he bought luxury goods for his mistress.

“Women, especially married women, need to love themselves more. If you don’t know how and to love yourself, you can’t expect your husband to love and cherish you. You have to try maintain financial independence. If you can’t do that, then you need to at least seize the financial power of the family.

“There’s no need to save your husband’s money for him. If you save too much, he’ll just give his money to someone else to spend. He won’t appreciate you if you try to save money for him and don’t buy new clothes or cosmetics for yourself. In fact, he’ll think that you don’t care about your appearance. He’ll think you’re ugly and refuse to bring you out with him because you’re shameful.”

Mrs. Lewis criticized Liberty for ending up getting a divorce because Liberty did not know how to love herself after marriage. Then, she said to Lily, “Lily, don’t worry. Duncan isn’t that kind of man.

“If you marry Duncan, we’re also very open–minded and won’t stop you from going out to work. You’ll still be free to do whatever you want. We all support you.”

Lily was one of the core figures of Harmon Corporation.

Mrs. Lewis knew that a woman like Lily was unlikely to stay indoors as a housewife after marriage.

She assured Lily in advance so that Lily would not worry.

Lily laughed while driving. “Mrs. Lewis, Duncan keeps avoiding me. I think it’ll take a long time for me to pursue him.

“However, I agree with you. Was Liberty even fatter in the past? She still looks quite chubby now.”

Liberty had not completely lost her excess flesh. For a girl with a good figure like Lily, Liberty was considered fat.

Lily did not think much about it even after finding out that Liberty was divorced. There was no way Duncan would marry a divorced single mother. The elders of the Lewis family would not agree either.

Furthermore, that woman was still chubby. Duncan had high standards and was so picky that he did not even take a liking to Lily. How could he fancy someone like Liberty, who was fat, divorced, and already had a child?

Lily felt that Duncan only stopped to talk to Liberty out of consideration for Zachary.

No matter what, Liberty was Zachary’s sister–in–law.

Zachary spoiled his wife, so Duncan was respectful to his sister–in–law. After all, Liberty took care of Serenity like a mother.

“Duncan treats Liberty’s son very well,” Mrs. Lewis said.

She never knew that her youngest son would like a child so much.

Lily said, “Little children are cute. Everyone likes them.”

Mrs. Lewis glanced at Lily but said nothing.

Lily felt that Duncan would never like a divorced woman, so she did not care about Liberty.

However, Mrs. Lewis was a mother and knew her son better. She had a feeling that Duncan’s attention to Liberty and her son was a little beyond ordinary.

After thinking about it, she took out her phone and called someone to inquire about. Liberty’s current situation.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1218

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1218

What Mrs. Lewis wanted to know was whether Liberty and Duncan contacted each other frequently in private.

Lily heard Mrs. Lewis order someone to investigate Liberty’s recent situation and asked, ” Mrs. Lewis, you don’t think that Duncan is interested in Liberty, right?”

“Liberty is divorced and fat. Duncan’s standards aren’t that low, but we still have to take precautions. Maybe Liberty is interested in Duncan. Lily, I want my daughter–in–law to be someone like you.”

Even if Liberty had never divorced, she was still not up to Mrs. Lewis’s standards.

Lily paused. “You’re right, I didn’t think of that. I just figured that Duncan would never like a divorced woman. Since you don’t approve of her, I won’t worry about her either.”

“Lily, Duncan has always been single. There are no rumors or scandals about him, but he has never pursued a girl before either. He’s a bit boorish when it comes to emotions, but if anyone can conquer him, he’ll spoil that woman with a lifetime of tenderness.

“Don’t underestimate Liberty. She’s Mrs. York’s sister, and Duncan is good friends with Zachary. If they meet often and spend more time together, who’s to say what will happen? Maybe Liberty will grow ambitious and want to be like her sister, climbing up the social ladder overnight.

“So, the person you have to watch out for the most is Liberty. If you notice something, I believe you can deal with her.”

Lily’s expression turned solemn, no longer daring to underestimate Liberty.

Duncan might not fall in love with a divorced woman, but there was no guarantee that the divorced woman would not have thoughts about Duncan.

“I understand, Mrs. Lewis.”

Lily was confident that she could conquer Duncan.

The more he avoided her now, the more he would spoil her when he fell in love with her later.

“Let’s go to Lewis & Co. to have a look,” Mrs. Lewis said.

Lily said, “Duncan is very busy. If we go to the office to disturb him when we have nothing to do, it’ll affect his work and make him dislike me more. He might think I’m using you to pressure him.”

Mrs. Lewis smiled and teased her, “You’re already siding with Duncan and worrying about him. All right, I’ll listen to you. Let’s go shopping instead. I’ll buy you whatever you want.

“I don’t need anything, Mrs. Lewis.”

Lily did not need Mrs. Lewis to buy her clothes and bags. She had plenty of her own.

She just lacked a husband.

“You didn’t bring a formal dress over, right? Let’s go look at gowns. I’ll be attending a banquet in two days. I’ll tell Duncan to come with me, so you come too, but you need a gown to attend. It’s too late to have one tailored now, so we have no choice but to get you a ready–made one.”

Lily was happy to accompany Mrs. Lewis to the banquet.

Mrs. Lewis’s social circle was filled with people from Wiltspoon’s upper class. She would be able to make friends with the noble ladies in Wiltspoon quickly if she accompanied Mrs. Lewis to the banquet.

“It’s no problem. I sometimes buy ready–made dresses too.”

Mrs. Lewis smiled. “Lily, I’m liking you more by the day. You’re generous, sensible, and capable. It’ll be a dream come true if Duncan can marry you.”

Lily swallowed all of Mrs. Lewis’s praise.

She was beaming with confidence.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1219

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1219

After settling the matter of her parents‘ house, Serenity returned to the bookstore in a happy mood.

Unexpectedly, she saw Shawn, whom she had not seen for a long time.

Shawn had taken two days of leave before the weekend, so he had a total of four days off to come back and see his parents.

After learning that Serenity was not in the store, he came over to see his cousin.

Jasmine did not know when Serenity would return. Shawn had just come in to sit for a while and was just about to leave. However, he bumped into Serenity just as he was leaving.

“Serenity.”

Shawn greeted Serenity with a smile, just like before.

“Shawn?”

Serenity checked Shawn out from head to toe before politely asking, “When did you come back? It’s been a long time. You look much more mature and steadier.”

“I just got back today. My mom isn’t feeling well, and the factory isn’t too busy for the time being, so I took two days off before the weekend to visit my mom. Yes, it’s been a long time. You look even prettier than before.”

Serenity had always been good–looking. Now that she had the nourishment of love, she was like a flower in full bloom.

However, Shawn knew very well that this blossoming flower only bloomed for Zachary.

Although it had been a long time since they met and Shawn gave up on Serenity, he still could not help but feel jealous of Zachary when he saw her again.

“Is Aunt Rachel okay?” Serenity asked with concern after hearing that Rachel was not feeling well.

She looked at her friend. “Jasmine didn’t tell me.”

Jasmine said, “It’s nothing serious. She just caught a cold. Sick people are frail, so they called Shawn and worried him so much that he took time off work and rushed back to take her to a doctor. Aunt Rachel is resting now, so he’s out and about meeting some friends. He dropped by as he was passing by.”

Zachary’s bodyguards were present. Jasmine was worried that Zachary would misunderstand and think that Shawn still had feelings for Serenity, so she explained Shawn’s presence here on his behalf.

It was true that Shawn did not come for Serenity.

He also called Jasmine to ask about Serenity before he came. He only entered when Jasmine said that Serenity was not in.

“It’s the flu season lately, so do tell Aunt Rachel to take care of her health.”

Shawn hummed. “Yes, many people are catching colds. The hospital was crowded too.

“Well, Jas and Serenity, I’ll make a move now.”

Shawn did not linger. He looked deeply at Serenity and smiled at the two ladies before leaving.

He left not five minutes after Serenity returned.

After he left, Serenity said to her friend, “Shawn is much more mature now.”

Jasmine narrowed her eyes.

Serenity tapped Jasmine’s forehead in amusement. “Don’t give me that look. I didn’t love Shawn before, I don’t love him now, and I won’t love him in the future. He’ll always just be a younger brother to me.”

Married At First Sight Chapter 1220

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1220

Jasmine rubbed her forehead and said, “I know you never loved Shawn. I was just worried that you’d feel guilty. Shawn is fine the way he is now. He’s the successor of the family, so he has to suffer a little. He needs to face some setbacks in order to grow and become steady.”

“Aunt Rachel did all that for his own good. It’s good that he was sent away to train himself. What do I have to be guilty about?”

Serenity sat at the counter and took out her phone. “I’ll tell my man about this lest he gets jealous and misunderstands again.”

Taking the initiative to tell Zachary was better than him finding out from the bodyguards.

With Zachary’s personality, he was sure to get jealous again if he found out from his bodyguards that Shawn and she had met.

Jasmine went into the kitchen.

After a while, she came out with a plate of grapes and placed it on the counter, saying,” Shawn bought these–the seedless grapes we often eat.

“So, how was it? Was your dad your grandparents‘ biological son?” Jasmine asked with concern as she took a seat.

“Yeah. The DNA test I did with my granddad showed that we’re related by blood. After I took the report and showed it to John and the others, they finally behaved and stopped fussing.

“We’ve resolved the matter through a negotiation.”

Serenity picked up a bunch of grapes and popped one into her mouth. “These grapes are so sweet.”

Jasmine saw that Serenity was in a happy mood and smiled. “It’s great that you’ve settled it. You don’t have to get involved with them in the future.”

“We’ll be going back tomorrow to sign a new agreement with them. I’ll give them the money after they transfer the title deed of the house to my sister.”

“Did you buy their share of the land?”

Serenity hummed. “Yeah, the solution they came up with was either we buy their share, or they buy ours. My grandparents don’t have much money left, so it’ll cost a lot if they want to buy our share.

“He has a bunch of sons and grandchildren, but none of them are willing to pay. He was so angry that he told us to buy his share instead, and they’d keep the money for their retirement. They’ll continue living in the house, but his children will pay the rent and utilities.

“I didn’t want to split hairs like this, but since they still tried to take advantage of us, I had no choice. It’s not like my dad was his only son. He has four sons. Even though my dad is gone, he still has three sons.

“In rural areas, each family will pay for their parents‘ expenses or take turns to live with and care for them when the elders are still alive. They can’t just live in my house for free, right? That’s why I asked for compensation. I don’t need the money; I just don’t want to be taken advantage of.”

Jasmine said, “You did the right thing. They only know how to take advantage of others to gain benefits for themselves, but when it’s time for them to live out their old age, they push the responsibility to your family instead.”

“John stated he wanted his share of our granddad’s assets but nothing to do with.

Granddad’s retirement. He said that Granddad gave birth to his dad, but not to him, so the responsibility of taking care of Granddad in his old age had nothing to do with him. The old man was livid.”

Although Serenity felt that Old Mr. Hunt was getting his just desserts, she did not feel happy or satisfied. She just felt sorry for her parents.

Her parents were incredibly filial to their parents when they were still alive, but the more filial her dad was, the less her grandfather liked him. Even after her dad passed away, he was still being bullied by his own parents.1

Jasmine paused. “Isn’t John your granddad’s favorite? He used to have an annual salary of a million dollars when he worked in Elisa’s company. Elisa made him lose his job, but he deserves it. A person like him shouldn’t have a good life.”

“Old Mr. Hunt fought for my family property because he wanted to give everything to John, so John’s words really pissed him off. That was why he so easily agreed to the solution we proposed.”

Serenity felt the reason her granddad compromised so quickly was largely because he was hurt by his sons and grandsons‘ attitude.

In any case, the issue with the house was resolved.
