Married At First Sight Chapter 1231

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1231

Holding Serenity in his arms, Zachary lovingly uttered, “I can make time once I’m done with the tasks at hand. I’ll take you to visit Ben and his wife. Ben carries his mom’s last name too.”

Zachary whispered in Serenity’s ear, “You’re the heroine of a book too, honey. Everybody wants to be you.”

Serenity nudged him away. He would always breathe hot air into her ear along with his whispers. The sensation stirred activity in her loins and tempted her to jump him.

The couple returned to the home at Brynfield after delivering the eggs and poultry to Liberty.

Mrs. Lane was home.

She brought over the couple’s pets. She had been looking after the animals, and now she was back at Brynfield.

The moment the door was opened, Snowball came running wagging its tail.

Serenity was startled. At a closer look, she squatted and stroked Snowball’s head. She said to Zachary, “How did Snowball get so big?”

Zachary was not keen on little animals. He only allowed pets at home because he loved Serenity too much. He gave Serenity Snowball and two cats when Serenity expressed her desire to have pets.

Snowball loved it when Serenity stroked its head. However, Zachary stood far away in case the fur got all over him.

“Mrs. Lane has really looked after them. The thing is getting fatter by the day.

“The cats are chonky too. The three of them look like the three little pigs.”

Rising to her feet, Serenity snapped back, “Snowball has a name. It’s not a thing. You’re not very nice to Snowball.”

Zachary pursed his lips. “Fine. It’s Snowball, not a thing.”

Mrs. Lane said hello to the couple with a smile.

“Put these in the freezer, Mrs. Lane.”

Zachary gave the prepped free–range chicken from his mother to Mrs. Lane.

Mrs. Lane took the bag for a look before remarking, “You bought a lot of chickens, sir.”

“I didn’t buy them. The missus bought them and left them to wander in the orchard.”

Mrs. Lane figured out what was up there and then.

Serenity brought Snowball over to sit with Zachary. Zachary gave Snowball a look. While Snowball could not take a hint, Serenity could. She knew how much he disliked furry animals.

She patted Snowball’s head, gesturing the dog to go and rest.

Snowball turned around and walked away.

“Is Nana home yet?” Serenity asked.

“The old missus went with Mr. Kevin on his business trip to Jensburg.”

Serenity blinked. Why was Nana going on a business trip with Kevin at her age?

Jensburg?

Oh, that reminded her. The woman Nana picked out for Kevin was in Jensburg. The person was the oldest son of the Queen Enterprise in Jensburg.

It was clear as day the reason Grandma May went with Kevin to Jensburg.

The lack of response on Kevin’s part must have prompted the old lady to create an opportunity for Kevin to meet with Hayden.

York Corporation owned two hotels and a commercial mall in Jensburg. Kevin oversaw the food and beverage side of the family business and since the mall was just a short distance from the hotel, Kevin was also in charge of the operation.

The Yorks operated five–star hotels, so Hayden must have been to the hotels before. There was no telling whether she had met Kevin though.

“Why didn’t she tell us she was going away with Kevin?”

Serenity added, “I wanted to go along and join the fun too.”

She wanted to go with Grandma May and get the latest gossip about everybody.

Tilting his head, Zachary looked at his wife and tapped her forehead. He amusedly uttered, “Nana is a bad influence on you.”

“Nana isn’t bad at all. She’s the world’s best grandmother.”

Married At First Sight Chapter 1232

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1232

“A grandson–trolling nana.”

Serenity defended Grandma May. “How did Nana troll you? Everything she does is for your own good. Tell me. How did she troll you?”

She gave Zachary a tiny shove, but Zachary caught her by the wrist. “Seren, you have not washed your hands after touching the dog. Go and wash your hands. Don’t use your grubby hands of dog fur to touch and push me. You know I can’t stand the fur.”

Serenity was lost for words.

Mrs. Lane said with a smile, “Go on and wash your hands, missus. I made you supper. You can have your supper when your hands are clean.”

The mention of food was enough for Serenity to let her man off the hook this time.

Retrieving her hand from Zachary’s grasp, Serenity got up to wash her hands. While cleaning her hands, she asked. “What did you make me, Mrs. Lane?”

“Your favorite.”

Mrs. Lane gestured for Snowball to retreat to its doggie pen.

Snowball was a smart dog. Knowing that its charms could not rub off on its male owner, it did not roam around the house. It docilely returned to its territory and lay on the ground.

Zachary did not have the habit of eating supper. He turned on the TV but nothing piqued his interest. Hence, he went to his room and took a shower before waiting for his beloved wife in bed.

Such was the couple’s routine after returning home.

The night passed.

Serenity and Liberty had to return to their hometown to sign a contract with the Hunt family today, so All You Can Eat was closed for the day.

Despite his mother’s urging, Duncan refused to leave Zachary’s place. Planning to get breakfast at All You Can Eat, Duncan woke up late, cleaned himself in a hurry, and went out.

He arrived at the diner to find the place closed. Nevertheless, there was someone standing at the entrance.

The person looked familiar to Duncan. It was Jessica.

Jessica came here to fish for some answers from Liberty.

This was a new task given to her by the unknown woman.

The woman wanted an update on Zachary and Clive’s investigation progress.

It had been rough for Jessica in the last two days.

The guilt was riding on her conscience as she committed a crime for the first time.

The worst part was her sister–in–law was still in the city. The woman had not gone back.

Chelsea found fault with everything Jessica did. The tension in the air and the mess caused by Lucas were getting on Jessica’s last nerves. She hoped Chelsea’s family would be hit by a truck.

“What are you doing here?” Duncan drew close and curtly asked Jessica.

The abrupt questioning from Duncan gave Jessica a jump.

She turned around to meet Duncan’s dark eyes. The menacing scar on Duncan’s deadpan face gave Jessica the creeps. She took a few steps back.

“I–I… I’m here to have breakfast.”

Jessica stumbled to put together a lie.

Duncan looked at the closed door and callously asked, “Where’s Liberty?”

“I don’t know. The door was closed when I arrived. I don’t see Liberty or Sonny around. Her workers aren’t here either.

“Why are you standing here if Liberty is not open for business?”

Jessica immediately answered, “I–I’ll leave right now.”

Holding onto her bag, Jessica quickly slipped past Duncan.

The man was a horrifying sight.

She would probably get nightmares if she stared at him.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1234

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1234

For personal and professional reasons, Duncan could not tell Lily to get out.

“I guess you must not have breakfast yet, Duncan.”

Lily drew close with a smile and put the food containers on Duncan’s desk. “Mrs. Lewis told me to bring them to you. She said you often sleep late and wake up late, so you don’t have time to eat. Mrs. Lewis told me to bring you breakfast when she found out that I was going to meet you.

“I was driving behind you just now. I saw you going to a diner called All You Can Eat. Do you usually have breakfast there?”

She should try the food there sometime. Was the food that good?

Lily wondered whether Duncan was at the diner for the food or the operator.

“Ms. Harmon, my schedule is full for the day, so I don’t have time to discuss a partnership today. I need to get to a meeting in a minute.”

“I’ll book a time with the secretary later. We can talk business when you have time. What time is your meeting?”

“Nine o’clock.”

Lily looked at the time. Ten more minutes to go.

Curling her lips, she opened the lids of the food containers and put the food right in front of Duncan one by one.

“Ten minutes should be enough for you to finish the food. Better eat up. This is Mrs. Lewis’s love for you. Don’t turn down her loving gesture.”

Lily made the food herself.

Nevertheless, she did not mention she was the chef. Instead, she put it vaguely that Mrs. Lewis had the breakfast delivered to him.

Since she talked about a mother’s love, and Duncan was hungry, he gladly accepted the food and ravished the meal in mere minutes.

“Do we have a new chef at home?”

Putting down the cutleries, Duncan pulled out a napkin and wiped his mouth.

Lily poured him a glass of water.

Duncan thanked her and took the glass for a few sips.

“Could you tell?”

Lily asked with a grin, “How do you think the new chef did?”

“Not bad.”

Nevertheless, he preferred Liberty’s cooking. He was impressed by the taste made with the simplest ingredients.

Liberty’s food brought Duncan back to his youthful days of strolling the streets with his

boys. He had the pleasure of sampling a lot of street food that he would never taste as the son of the Lewis family.

While those years gave him great pain, they also brought him down to earth.

Even when he became a CEO, he remained unassuming.

He was no different than any ordinary folk except for being in the higher bracket of income.

Lily said with a smile, “All that matters is that the food is delicious to you.”

She glanced at the time before clearing the food containers. She reminded Duncan, “Your meeting is starting, Duncan. I’m going to report to Mrs. Lewis on the mission accomplished. By the way, Mrs. Lewis hopes you can be home for lunch. If you can’t make it home, she said there’s an event in a few days. She hopes you’ll attend it with her.”

Lily was going with Mrs. Lewis too.

Mrs. Lewis intended to introduce the ladies of the higher society in Wiltspoon to her.

Serenity would probably be attending the event with Mrs. Stone.

Mrs. Lewis mentioned that Mrs. Stone had been active within the circle lately. She would reply favorably to any social invitations.

She must be trying to bring Serenity into the exclusive circle.

No one would want to get on Mrs. Stone’s bad side as she was the lady of the Stone household.

Besides, Mrs. Stone was once a business heavyweight before she retired from the corporate world.

Furrowing his brows, Duncan uttered, “Why does she want me to attend with her? Can I trouble you to go with my mom if my mom if you have time? I can’t be bothered with social gatherings.”

Married At First Sight Chapter 1235

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1235

Lily knew Duncan would say that.

She uttered with a smile, “Duncan, Mrs. Lewis wants you to go with her. I can’t replace you. I’m only the daughter of Mrs. Lewis’s friend anyway. I’m not family.

“I’m not keen on social events either, but we don’t have a choice most of the time. We have to fulfill our obligations.”

Duncan had attended plenty of business parties to talk business. Before Lewis & Co. took off, he had to attend business engagements to drum in partnerships.

Lewis and Co. was now a well–known company in Wiltspoon. Duncan would only discuss big contracts with other CEOS while the trades on a smaller scale were left to his management team.

He started to attend fewer of these gatherings unless his two best friends were going.

With company around, Duncan would turn up briefly.

However, more often than not, Zachary would not show up. Hence, it fueled Duncan’s lack of presence at social events.

“Who is the organizer? Where’s the party?” Duncan asked.

Lily replied, “Mrs. Lewis said it was Old Mr. Dawson. It’s going to be held at Wiltspoon Hotel.”

Hearing that it was Old Mr. Dawson, Duncan had nothing more to say.

The Dawsons were not as wealthy as the Yorks, but they were among the top ten richest families in Wiltspoon. Old Mr. Dawson was a personable man, and the Dawson family kept a low profile in Wiltspoon.

The movers and shakers of Wiltspoon’s corporate world would give Aaron Dawson respect by showing up to any one of his parties. Even Zachary could be seen at the old man’s event.

The Dawsons and the Yorks were on friendly terms. Zachary showed up at Old Mr. Dawson’s business gathering last year. It was the same event at Wiltspoon Hotel that Serenity attended with Jasmine and Mrs. Lowe when Zachary and Serenity first got married.

Zachary’s appearance stirred a huge commotion. Jasmine went to see what the hubbub was all about but failed to squeeze her way into the crowd. Serenity, on the other hand, was hiding in a corner stuffing her face with food.

“Go on to your meeting, Duncan. I’ll clean the food containers and leave.”

Lily reminded Duncan about his meeting.

“Sure.” Still, Duncan waited until Lily was done washing the containers before walking out of the office with her.

With the secretary seeing Lily off at the lift, Duncan turned on his heel and took strides into the meeting room near his office.

After leaving Lewis & Co., Lily suddenly hit the brakes when driving past All You Can Eat. She stopped the car by the street and got out to ask someone in the shop next to the diner.

“Do you know who’s the owner of this breakfast diner?” Lily tenderly asked.

The person replied, “Do you mean Liberty? She needs to take care of personal matters in her hometown today, so she’s not open for business. You have to come tomorrow if you want to try her breakfast. Her food is great, and the cleanliness of her place is top–notch. It explains why her business is doing well.”

The neighbors of All You Can Eat had often come for a meal since the diner opened.

Liberty owned the breakfast diner.

Despite her shock, Lily did not show the expression on her face. She thanked the person, returned to her car, and drove away.

She drove straight to the Lewises‘ residence instead of heading elsewhere.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1236

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1236

Instead of going out, Mrs. Lewis stayed at home and waited for Lily’s return. She wanted to know if Duncan ate the breakfast Lily delivered.

Picking up on the sound of an approaching vehicle, Mrs. Lewis walked out of the house.

“Mrs. Lewis.”

Lily got out of the car and approached Mrs. Lewis with empty food containers.

Judging by the smile on Lily’s smile, Mrs. Lewis could tell that her son ate Lily’s homemade breakfast.

The pair strolled back into the house in talk and laughter.

Handing the food containers to the maid, Lily helped Mrs. Lewis to sit on the sofa.

“Why didn’t you stay longer at Duncan’s office?”

“Duncan has a meeting coming up. I didn’t want to take up too much of his time. Mrs. Lewis, I told Duncan that you told me to deliver the breakfast, and he ate it all up. He even asked me if you have a new chef. He thinks well of my cooking.”

Mrs. Lewis was all smiles as if Lily was about to become her daughter–in–law.

“You should deliver Duncan packed breakfast more often. See if he needs anything else. With all that you do for him, he’ll be smitten with you in no time. You can do it, Lily. I can’t wait for you to be part of the family.”

Pulling out her phone, Lily tapped into her photo album and pointed at Jessica before asking, “Who is this woman, Mrs. Lewis? Do you know her? She seems to know Duncan. I saw them talking.

“All You Can Eat diner is owned by Liberty. Duncan was going to have his breakfast there, but Liberty was away for personal reasons. Her diner was closed today. He only ate my breakfast because he went to work on an empty stomach.”

Otherwise, Duncan would not have eaten her food.

Lily was confident at first and did not see Liberty as a threat.

Mrs. Lewis had warned her that the person to watch was Liberty. Lily thought Duncan would be blind to fall for a fat divorcee with extra baggage like Liberty.

Now, she believed Mrs. Lewis had a point.

Duncan enjoyed having breakfast at Liberty’s diner. Something might develop between the two as time went by.

“I don’t know this woman. I’ve never seen her before. I’ll have her looked up–who she is and how she came to know Duncan. She seemed to be leaving in a fluster. Duncan must

have called her out on something. I wouldn’t be worried about this woman if I were you.”

Mrs. Lewis was old and a mother to Duncan. She was a better judge of people than Lily. It did not take long for Mrs. Lewis to observe Jessica in the photo before eliminating her.

“Is this the street Duncan drives by to the office? If my guess is right, Duncan owns half the street. He bought the commercial spaces there and left the management in the hands of his butler. The butler collects the rent.

“Liberty once worked at Duncan’s company. She quit when she divorced her husband. I didn’t pay attention to what she was doing after that. I can’t believe she rented a commercial space from Duncan to set up an eatery.”

Furrowing her brows, Mrs. Lewis added, “I wonder if Duncan collects rent from her. I should ask him.

“I told you to keep an eye out for Liberty. The person who can be your rival is Liberty. Out of all the places she could have built her business, Liberty had to choose to operate on that street–Duncan’s route to work.

“It’s clear cut what she’s really after. I bet she wants to marry into a rich family after her sister managed to. Well, she should take a look in the mirror. She’s fat and divorced. Plus, she has a son from her previous marriage. She should consider herself lucky if she is able to find another man. How dare she set her sights on my son.”

Not taking kindly toward Liberty, Mrs. Lewis put whatever blame on Liberty.

“Mrs. Lewis, I think Liberty is not eyeballing Duncan. At least, not at the moment. Let’s not be so quick to label her as a gold digger. Didn’t Serenity marry Mr. York without knowing who he was? She nearly had a falling out with Mr. York when she found out the truth.”

Married At First Sight Chapter 1237

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1237

Lily carried on talking. “You told me about this. Serenity and Liberty are sisters. Serenity lost her parents at the age of ten, and it was her sister who raised her. Her sister taught her everything she knew. Serenity’s character is the reflection of Liberty’s.

“I believe Liberty isn’t that kind of woman. Maybe she’ll become my rival in love, but it won’t be her intention. The problem lies with Duncan.”

Lily was not a sheltered princess. She held a high position at Harmon Corporation and was well–traveled. Her perspective of the world was likely broader than Mrs. Lewis’s.

“But now that I know about this, it should be enough warning to keep me on my toes.”

Lily was lost in her thoughts. She should pull Duncan to her corner before sparks started to ignite between Duncan and Liberty. That way, Duncan would be hers.

If…She were to lose to Liberty…

Lily stopped her thoughts from wandering further. She refused to imagine a potential loss.

She was way superior to Liberty in every way. Duncan would be blind to pick a divorcee like Liberty over her.

Liberty, who was back in her hometown with her sister to re–sign a contract with the Hunts, could not stop sneezing.

“Did you catch a cold, Liberty? Get Dr. Sullivan to look at you when you go out later.” Dr. Sullivan was a famous general practitioner around the nearby towns. He had his own clinic. It was the go–to place for any minor ailment.

Serenity and her sister often saw Dr. Sullivan when they were little.

“I don’t have the symptoms of a cold, so I don’t think that’s it.” Rubbing her ear, Liberty asked her sister, “Do you think my ear is red, Seren? I get a burning sensation. Maybe someone is talking bad about me.”

Serenity took a look at one side of her sister’s ears. It appeared red.

She said, “The customers must be saying something because you aren’t open for business today.”

The only person who would speak ill of Liberty was Jessica and no one else.

The Browns probably would not badmouth the sisters anymore.

Feeling her reddish ear, Liberty put the matter behind her.

Further to what was discussed the day before, the sisters signed a new agreement with Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt.

The size of the house and vacant land left behind by Serenity’s parents were measured. Since half of the land belonged to their mother, Lisa, the sisters invited their maternal grandparents over.

The Howdens had heard that Serenity and Liberty were back to fight for the property. They were aware that Serenity had married a rich man and reconnected with their aunt. Their aunt was the wife of a wealthy and powerful family too.

It was a worry to the Howdens that Serenity might come after them since they took four hundred thousand dollars of the insurance money back then.

It was a good thing Serenity did nothing of that sort.

No matter what, the Howdens raised Lisa.

Despite learning that Serenity married well, the Howdens did not kick up a fuss or try to benefit from Serenity like the Hunts. All they hoped was for Serenity and Liberty not to hold a grudge against them.

That was why Serenity’s maternal grandparents were happy to sign Lisa’s share of the inheritance over to the sisters when Serenity sent people to pick them up.

As such, Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt had equal shares of the property with Serenity and Liberty.

Although the old couple had possession of several hundred square feet, one thing to take into consideration was the different rates between the vacant land and the built property.

Serenity did the math, not taking advantage of Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt’s rights or compromising her and her sister’s own.

This time, they had a lot of witnesses at the signing of the agreement.

Old Mr. Hunt must have said something to his wife because Old Mrs. Hunt was a lot more pleasant to Serenity and Liberty now. She did not make a scene like the last time. Instead, she was cooperative with signing the contract.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1238

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1238

Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt needed to be there for the ownership transfer formalities too.

Once the procedure was done, and Liberty’s name was on the title deed, Liberty and Serenity then paid the old folks for their share of the property.

Serenity wanted to leave her part of the inheritance to Liberty as Liberty was the eldest daughter. Serenity had taken into consideration that her sister had it rougher in life.

However, Serenity had not told her sister about it.

Now all that was done and out of the way, the mayor said to the sisters, “Liberty, Serenity, are you renting your farmland out? We have someone who wants to contract our fields. I had a meeting with the rest of the townspeople. Everybody is on board.

“You’ll get the rent from the contracted fields, and the money will depend on the square footage of your land. The rate per acre will be the same across all. You can leave your number with me if you’re interested. I’ll transfer you the money when we sign the contract and receive the rental money for the land.”

The person who was contracting everybody’s farmland was Serenity.

Nevertheless, Serenity said nothing about it. She uttered with a smile, “Thank you. My sister and I won’t be back to farm the land. It’ll be a waste to leave the field empty. I’m happy to rent it out if someone is keen to develop it. How long will the contract be for?”

“At least fifteen years,” replied the mayor.

Serenity recalled the contract she drew up was for twenty years. However, she had not signed the papers with the town council. The mayor still had no idea that her contract was for twenty years.

“Sure, no problem.”

Although Liberty knew about this, she said nothing as her sister was unwilling to tell the mayor the truth.

Serenity told her sister to leave her contact details with the mayor.

The money could go to Liberty when the rent for the farmland was received.

Ring, ring, ring…

Serenity’s phone rang.

It was Zachary.

She went to a corner to pick up her husband’s call.

“Babe.”

She kept her voice down, not wanting others to listen to her intimate conversation with her husband.

“I can barely hear you, Seren. Say it loud and proud.” A certain somebody was pushing his luck for more.

Serenity amusedly asked, “Can’t hear me? There are so many people around. I don’t want them to listen to our conversation. Are you done with your work?”

“The meeting here just ended, so I wanted to call and ask how things were going on there. Will you be back in time to have lunch with me?” Zachary asked his wife over the phone as he fell back against his black swiveling chair and twirled it.

She did not need his company but it was hard on Zachary because he had not seen her the whole morning.

It felt like an eternity since he last saw her.

“I promised Mrs. Deli that I’ll have lunch at her place. She’s cooking as we speak. We won’t make it back for lunch. I’ll make you a few of my specialties tonight. How about we pop open a bottle tonight?”

Zachary poked fun at her. “One glass will take you out. You’ll sleep the night through. Your sister told me to watch you and stop you from drinking. You don’t want me to tell on you to your sister.”

Serenity replied, “Don’t threaten me with my sister… I learned to drink a little more after going to events with my aunt. I can handle a couple of drinks now.”

Married At First Sight Chapter 1239

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1239

“Alright, that’s decided then. I enjoy seeing you drunk. You’ll be all over me!”

Zachary kept his voice down at the end.

Serenity was lost for words.

The callous man had changed a lot. He could be such a flirt over the phone.

“Are things going well? Did they kick up a fuss?”

The extremes Old Mrs. Hunt would go to had not been forgotten.

Zachary was worried Old Mrs. Hunt would cause a scene.

Still, there was no cause for concern as Zachary assigned bodyguards to protect Serenity, She brought lawyers, and she could fight.

“It’s going well. My granddad must have told my grandmom what his sons and grandson said. My grandmom did not act up this time. She was cooperative. I got my maternal grandparents to come. They said they didn’t want my mom’s share and wanted us to have it.”

“Okay.”

Zachary had not met the Howdens.

The Howdens were cruel for what they did back then. Nevertheless, that fact could be overlooked since they raised Lisa.

“My maternal grandparents apologized to us. They said they were unsympathetic for not taking me and Liberty in or standing up for us when my grandparents picked on us. They understood we had it rough over the years.”

Serenity added, “But I don’t want to sweat the small stuff anymore. No matter what, they raised my mom.

“Will that make you think that I’m too forgiving, Zachary?”

“No. You’re a person of principles. You’re calling me Zachary again.”

Serenity grinned. “Babe.”

“Come back soon when you’re finished there. I miss you a lot.”

“We left home together this morning, you know. It’s only been hours.”

“I would chain you to me if I could. I don’t want to be apart from you for even a second.”

Feeling butterflies in her stomach from all the sweet nothings, Serenity replied, “I need to bring the forms to the land registry and then I can go home.”

She then added, “I miss you a lot too.”

Zachary knew Serenity did not long for him as much as he did for her, but it made him. happy that she could say it out loud.

The couple talked on the phone for a while before Serenity ended the call.

With the task straightened out, the sisters, together with the bodyguards, went to have lunch at Mrs. Deli’s home.

Mrs. Deli and her husband slaughtered some poultry and bought a lot of greens to prepare a feast.

Lisa was the closest to Mrs. Deli when she was alive. They were somewhat related too. Mrs. Deli was over the moon that the sisters felt at home at her place.

Serenity and Liberty’s uncles invited the girls over for lunch, but Liberty turned them down.

At least, there was no more fighting between them.

Still, Liberty and Serenity were not saints to forget about the past and share a meal with their relatives.

After lunch, the girls chatted with Mrs. Deli and the other townspeople for a while before going into town to file the paperwork at the land registry during working hours. They then left their hometown.

Serenity wanted to give Mrs. Deli some money, but the latter would not have any of it. Mrs. Deli insisted on giving the sisters her homegrown fruits and vegetables.

The people sent by Elisa to sign an agreement with the mayors of neighboring towns arrived after Serenity and Liberty were gone.

These two matters were done in a day.

With the contracts signed, work could be started on Serenity’s and Elisa’s invested project. It was close to evening by the time they got back to the city.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1240

Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 1240

“Liberty, I’ll go to Zachary’s office and wait for him to get off work.”

Behind the wheel, Serenity told her sister and turned to ask her nephew, “Do you want to come with me to pick your uncle up, Sonny?”

Before Sonny could answer, Liberty replied, “Zachary will think of him as a third wheel if you take him.”

Sonny’s mind immediately flew to his Uncle Zack’s comment about him. Shaking his head, Sonny responded, “I don’t want to be a third wheel, Aunt Ser. I’m Sonny.”

“Of course. Sonny is Sonny. Sonny is not a third wheel. Don’t take your uncle’s words to heart.”

Liberty jumped in with a smile, “Just drop us at our rental place. I’m taking him to shop for ingredients for tomorrow.”

“Alright then.”

Serenity did not insist.

She drove her sister and nephew back to their rental apartment and watched them take the elevator upstairs before driving away.

Once at York Corporation, she ran into Camryn.

Camryn came alone to York Corporation. Supported by her white cane, Camryn carried a bouquet of flowers and slowly took strides into the office building following the guidance of the security guard on duty.

Having spotted the woman, Serenity parked the car and took quick paces to her.

“Ms. Camryn.”

Camryn stopped when Serenity called out to her. Turning to the source of the voice, Camryn smiled. “It’s you, Mrs. York.”

“Yes, it’s me. Who are you delivering the flowers to? Where is your employee?”

Camryn mentioned that her employees would handle the deliveries while she watched the shop. The delivery was not a convenient job for her since she could not see.

“The flowers are for Mr. York; Mr. Callum to be precise. He requested that I make the delivery.”

Camryn was honest with her answer.

Callum told her that he would recommend her services to the Marshalls if she hand- delivered the flowers to him. The Marshalls were having a ball in the Wiltspoon Hotel in two days, and they needed flowers to decorate the event hall. If all went well, the Marshalls

would ask the hotel to source the flowers through Spring Blossoms.

This was business.

Wanting to score the business opportunity, Camryn took the risk and came delivering the flowers to Callum.

Serenity puckered her brows. It was Callum’s, funeral; he would regret it sooner or later.

“I’ll take you to see Mr. Callum,” Serenity kindly offered.

Camryn thanked Serenity but rejected the gesture. She said, “Mr. Callum said that I must walk to his office myself. I can’t let anyone take me, but I can ask people for directions.”

Serenity was speechless.

Did the York boys have the tendency to shoot themselves in the foot when courting their wives?

“Mrs. York, I must be reaching the entrance, right? The security guard told me it was several hundred feet away. I counted my footsteps. I think I’m about a hundred over feet away from the door.”

Looking at the office building, Serenity gauged it to be about hundred and fifty feet distance.

“Yes. You have around hundred and fifty feet to go. There are steps leading up to the entrance. Take your time on the steps. Once inside, you can walk straight, and the receptionist will ask your purpose for being here. Just tell her that you’re here to deliver flowers to Callum.

“About hundred thirty feet after the entrance, turn right to the elevator. I think Callum’s office is on the sixty–sixth floor.”

Serenity let Camryn know the direction.

Camryn knew what floor Callum’s office was on as he told her that on the phone.

The problem was taking the elevator alone since she was blind.

“Once you’re out of the elevator, take a few steps ahead and turn right. Callum’s secretary will take you to his office when you walk further in.”

Callum was digging his grave to demand Camryn find her way to his office. Serenity was happy to give Callum what he wanted and a chance to be his own worst enemy.
