Chapter 1301

“Sure.”

One to satisfy her sister’s palates, Liberty made pasta with bacon bits. Liberty added basil to her sister’s plate, but she had none of that.

‘The food is ready.”

Liberty called her sister over to grab her plate.

Serenity put a pause on work and went to wash her hands before taking her portion.

The sister sat down at the table. As usual, Serenity pulled out her phone and scrolled the news while eating.

“No phone during mealtimes. Put away your phone.”

Liberty had rules during mealtimes.

“I was just looking.”

Although Serenity said so, she slipped the phone back into her pocket.

“I don’t want to see you on your phone while at the dining table anymore.”

“Got it.”

Serenity could never defy her sister. Besides, screens during mealtimes were a bad habit.

“Are you really not coming with me to the event tonight, Liberty?”

“Nope.”

“I think you should broaden your horizons, Liberty.”

Liberty took her time with the pasta. Since the food was fresh out of the pan, it was a little hot.

“I don’t need to broaden my horizons. At least, I’m not at that point yet. You’re different. You’re the missus of the York family. You need to adapt to their circle.”

Serenity gave up since no amount of words could convince her sister to come along.

Liberty refused to go when Aunt Audrey invited her as a plus-one.

“When are you getting your car?”

Liberty bought a car for less than a hundred thousand dollars yesterday. Elisa told her to pick something of better value, but Liberty said no.

She bought a compact MPV.

“In a few days.”

“Okay.”

While the sisters were chatting during breakfast, Duncan arrived at the diner.

It was a wonder that he came earlier than Liberty’s workers. The two employees were right behind him though.

“You’re early, Mr. Lewis.”

Putting down her cutleries, Liberty got up and approached Duncan. She asked with a smile, “Are you not taking the day off today, Mr. Lewis? What would you like?”

Seeing that Serenity was around, Duncan gave Serenity a nod and glanced at Liberty’s unfinished pasta. He said, “I can wait for you to be done with your breakfast. I’m off today. The same old for me.”

Still, Liberty went on to make him food.

Duncan went over, took a seat at the table next to Serenity’s, and struck up a conversation. “I see Zachary isn’t with you.”

“He barely gets any day off, so he should sleep in.” Serenity believed she was right in the money about Duncan as Duncan came to have breakfast at her sister’s diner even during his day off. However, Duncan was still in denial.

“Do you always have breakfast at my sister’s when you don’t need to go to the office?”

Duncan replied, “It’s hard to break out of a routine.”

Serenity opened her mouth, but no words escaped her lips.

“Is Sonny still sleeping?”

Duncan turned his attention to Sonny.

“Yeah. He’s still asleep.”

Duncan stopped talking.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1302

Chapter 1302

Duncan and Serenity did not have a lot in common to talk about.

With Serenity here, Duncan could not have a private moment with Liberty.

After Liberty made him his order, customers started coming into the diner. Nevertheless, the menu items ordered were already made in advance, so the workers could serve the customers without needing the boss to be in the kitchen.

Liberty went back to her spot and continued her breakfast.

“Duncan.”

The voice made Duncan lose his appetite.

Liberty and Serenity turned their heads and watched a beautiful woman walk through the opened glass door. Serenity did not recognize Lily, but Liberty had seen a picture of Lily before. Liberty thought Lily looked better in person than in the picture.

Lily made a good match with Duncan.

“Ms. Harmon, would you like something to eat?”

Liberty put down her utensils and got up to serve the customer.

Lily moved her gaze from Duncan to Liberty. She had observed Liberty a few times in the dark, and this was the first time she had come face-to- face with her. Lily thought Liberty was quite a gorgeous lady.

“I heard the food here is amazing. Can I have the same as Duncan? Thank you.”

Lily then strutted to Duncan’s table and put aside her limited-edition handbag. She pulled out a few tissues to wipe the chair before sitting down.

With Serenity looking at Lily, the latter said hello with a smile, “Good morning, Mrs. York.”

“Morning.”

Serenity had no idea who the woman was, but the woman seemed to know who she was. Serenity should respond to the kind greeting.

Her sister addressed the beautiful woman as Ms. Harmon. When did Liberty get to know her?

Serenity had attended many social engagements with Mrs. Stone and met many wives of wealthy men and heiresses. Through socializing, Serenity developed a trained eye to tell that Lily was highborn. She carried herself with such grace.

“Mrs. York, my name is Lily, Lily Harmon.”

Lily introduced herself.

“Hello, Ms. Harmon.”

Lily smiled and ended the engagement there.

She had always wanted to befriend Serenity, but she and Serenity were not close yet. It was an appropriate setting to say hello and introduce herself so that Serenity could remember her name.

There would always be opportunities to develop their friendship in the future.

Duncan asked, “Why are you here?”

It was only seven o’clock right now. Was Lily here to spy on him?

Duncan had not moved back home yet and was still an unwanted guest at Zachary’s villa. By right, there was no way Lily could track him down unless she were waiting nearby, knowing he would have his usual breakfast at Liberty’s diner.

He guessed it right.

Nevertheless, it was not Lily who had been spying on him. It was his mother.

Mrs. Lewis had placed people around the area so she was the first to know when her people spotted Duncan from a mile away.

Mrs. Lewis then informed Lily to go over.

Lily was a disciplined person. She would go for a run and exercise at dawn every day. Mrs. Lewis also housed her in one of Duncan’s properties not too far from Lewis & Co. It was easy and quick for Lily to get here.

“I’m here because you’re here,” Lily answered matter-of-factly as he looked and tilted her head at Duncan.

Duncan commented, “So long as you’re fine with it.”

“What am I to say when your stomach can take the food? Did you forget that I started from the bottom too?”

Lily started out at the lowest level in the company. No one knew she was the boss’s daughter. She handled the most tiring labor at the lowest wages. Her basic necessities were no different than any regular employee’s.

Before she rose through the ranks in the company, Lily had to sneak home in case others might find out that she was the boss’s daughter. She would usually rent the cheapest apartment or share with other tenants to get a better place.

Duncan answered, “Oh, I didn’t know that. Mayne my mom told me, but I didn’t pay much attention.”

He had met Lily when they were younger, but she was not someone he regarded as part of his group of friends. Duncan would not have known that she was her mother’s best friend’s daughter if he did not run into Lily during her trip to Wiltspoon.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1303

Chapter 1303

Lily was not at all offended.

She and Duncan had long known each other, but there was barely any interaction between them. More accurately, they never really hung out together.

It was not strange that Duncan had little knowledge of her past.

“Here you go, Ms. Harmon.”

Liberty made the food and brought over Lily’s order. She put it in front of Lily and said with a smile, “Enjoy, Ms. Harmon.”

Lily gave Liberty a smile.

Liberty returned to her seat.

“How did you get to know her, Liberty?” Serenity whispered.

“Mrs. Lewis came by the other day and had a chat with me. She told me she was trying to pair Ms. Harmon and Mr. Lewis up. She showed me Ms. Harmon’s picture, and that was how I recognized her.”

Liberty kept her voice down when replying to her sister. She added. “Don’t you think they make a cute couple? It feels relaxing to be around her. She doesn’t have the arrogance of the upper crust.”

Serenity looked into her sister’s eyes before burying her head in her food. She murmured, “They do look good together.”

Aunt Audrey said that Mrs. Lewis was not the easiest to get along with.

Zachary mentioned it too.

Maybe it was a good thing that Mrs. Lewis had a candidate for a daughter- in-law in mind. She wanted Ms. Harmon and Duncan to get together. At least, her sister did not get caught up in it.

“Mom.”

Sonny sat up after waking up. Out of habit, he called out to his mother.

Down to her last mouthful of pasta, Serenity told Liberty, “I’ll make Sonny something to eat. That should give you time to finish your breakfast, Liberty. It’s only going to get busier.”

She made her way toward her nephew and picked him up.

“Aunt Ser.”

Sonny was still in a daze from waking up. Hanging onto Serenity by the nape of her neck, Sonny rested his head against

Serenity’s shoulder and mewed, “Aunt Ser, I want to pee.”

Serenity carried him into the washroom.

By the time they got out of the washroom, Sonny could walk on his two feet.

With his gaze falling on Duncan, the boy courteously said hello. Sonny had never met Lily, so his bright eyes sparkled at the woman before he showed his gentlemanly side. “Hello, ma’am.”

Lily reached out to stroke his head with a smile. “You must be Sonny. You’re so adorable. I’m Lily Harmon, a friend of Duncan.”

“Hello, Ms. Harmon.”

Sonny greeted her.

Shyness seemed to sink in as he quickly took shelter by Liberty. Liberty carried him onto her lap.

“What do you want to eat, Sonny? Your aunt will make it for you.”

Sonny fell into thought before answering in a soft voice, “Egg and soldiers.” Serenity asked her sister, “Do you have bread here?”

“Yeah, I do. Sonny normally has eggs and soldiers for breakfast. I would make dippy eggs every day and some customers would order it even though it’s not on the menu.”

Serenity put a pot over the stove and said, “I’ll make it for him then.”

With Liberty cleaning her plate, she put her son on Serenity’s seat and cleared the table. She said, “Stay here and don’t run around, Sonny. Your aunt will be back with your breakfast. We have customers, so I’ll be a little busy.”

“Okay,” Sonny obediently replied.

It was morning rush hour as it was a little over seven o’clock. Many who worked during the weekend arrived in droves for breakfast. Liberty only grew busier.

Serenity made her nephew breakfast. Seeing that Sonny was capable of feeding himself, she went on to assist her sister.

Duncan and Lily left together after finishing their breakfast.

Truth be told, Duncan wanted to stay but chose to leave since Lily was here.

Liberty did not even notice when he left as she was swamped with orders.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1304

Chapter 1304

While it was a cooking spree at Liberty’s diner, Zachary woke up back at home and as always before opening his eyes, he turned to his side and reached out to hold his wife. Alas, all he grabbed was air.

Zachary opened his eyes.

Serenity was no longer in the room.

He looked at the sky outside. The sun was high.

Turning over, Zachary grabbed his phone on the bedside table to look at the time.

“Nine o’clock?!”

He jolted up.

Even during the weekend, Zachary had never gotten up this late.

Maybe he came home a little too late last night.

Zachary washed up and got dressed in record time. He even picked an outfit Serenity had bought for him.

He opened the bedroom door to find Mrs. Lane watching TV on the sofa with a cat on her lap. With the door swinging open, Mrs.

Lane cocked her head to look at him. She then rose to her feet and said with a smile, “You’re awake, Mr. Zachary. Should I get a start on breakfast?”

“It’s after nine now.”

Zachary mumbled as he walked out of the room.

“You should have something to eat even though it’s nine. Before going out, the missus said that you must have breakfast when you get up.”

‘Where’s Serenity? When did she get up? What time did she leave?”

Zachary was not too happy about that.

His wife disappeared on the day he was not working. She did not even wait for him to wake up or have breakfast with him.

It was as if his wife gave him the snub.

The entrance was pushed open before Mrs. Lane could reply.

Serenity was back.

“You’re up, Zachary.”

Serenity entered the house and greeted her husband before closing the door behind her.

Without responding to her, Zachary pulled a long face and turned on his heel to march back into the bedroom.

She ditched him first thing in the morning, and now that she was home, Serenity was back to calling him by his name instead of with a term of endearment.

Already displeased that his wife abandoned him, Zachary grew discontent and went to sulk in the room.

He was throwing a fit.

It did not occur to Serenity at first. She was dumbstruck that Zachary turned around and headed for the bedroom. She went to ask Mrs. Lane,” What’s up with Zachary, Mrs. Lane? Who made him mad?”

Mrs. Lane glanced at the bedroom door as Zachary slammed the door hard. Amused, she told Serenity, “Mr. Zachary is angry at you.”

“Me?”

Serenity remarked in confusion, “I left early in the morning. I don’t remember winding him up. Tell me, Mrs. Lane. How did I drive him up the wall? You know, Zachary. He’s the pettiest. It scares me when he’s mad.”

She spoke in hushed tones so as not to upset Zachary even more.

It was Serenity’s worst fear when the man kicked up a fuss over seemingly nothing.

In the past, the cause of the couple’s silent treatment was Zachary’s tantrums that came out of nowhere. With Serenity left scratching her head, the conflict only deepened. In the end, they would not speak to each other.

After the big hoo-ha of his secret coming out and the couple getting back together, it had been a while since he gave an attitude and sulked.

Oops. She better not let Zachary find out what she said of him.

Sometimes, Serenity believed she should switch places with Zachary.

The women were usually the ones to throw tantrums, but Zachary was the pouty one between them both.

Zachary may appear mature and handsome, but in the world of love, Serenity had never met anyone who had more fits than Zachary.

With Mrs. Lane letting go of the cat, the cat stayed by Serenity’s feet, refusing to leave.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1305

Chapter 1305

Serenity bent over to hold the cat up.

“Missus, you might want to sweet-talk Mr. Zachary. He hasn’t eaten anything since he got up.”

Mrs. Lane had no words for her boss’s sudden tantrum.She would not know Zachary had a childish side to him if she did not work here.

While stroking the cat, Serenity remarked, “Mrs. Lane, you must let me know why he’s angry before I can calm him down. I didn’t do anything.”

Mrs. Lane whispered, “I think Mr. Zachary is angry that you went out early in the morning. He must be hoping you would spend time with him since he’s home for the weekend.”

Serenity replied, “I went to help my sister at her diner… Although it’s the weekend, many factories are not closed. The workers still went to work. My sister’s breakfast place was going to be packed, so I left early to help her. But I came home early. I’m back before ten o’clock.”

It did not cross her mind that Zachary would sulk over a trivial matter.

Mrs. Lane was at a loss for words.

“I’ll go in and cheer him up.”

Knowing what her man was like, Serenity helplessly carried the cat into the room.

It struck Mrs. Lane to remind Serenity from taking the cat into the room when Serenity walked through the door. Alas, it was too late.

Mrs. Lane guessed it would only put Mr. Zachary in a worse mood.

Serenity set foot into the bedroom with the cat in her arms.

Zachary stood behind a window with his back facing the bedroom door.He did not turn around when the door was pushed open.

Serenity drew close and stood next to him, admiring the view outside the window with him. She asked, “What are you looking at?”

Tilting his head, Zachary moved his gaze to her, only to find she was holding a cat. He furrowed his brows and made a sharp turn to take strides away from the window.

“Babe.”

Serenity followed right behind him.

“You were still sleeping when I got up. I thought I should let you sleep in since you’re always busy with work. That was why I didn’t wake you. I didn’t go anywhere. I just went to help my sister.

“I thought you might wake up at this hour, so I hurried home. It’s still busy at my sister’s diner. I didn’t want you to wake up without me by your side. I rushed home.”

Serenity did not stop walking when she tried to explain.

Zachary stopped, turned around, and locked eyes with her. He asked, “Do you love me, Serenity?”

It had been a while since he addressed her by her name. He would usually call her “Seren”.

Serenity moaned in her mind. ‘Don’t tell me he’s kicking up a fuss with me because of this?”

Still, she took no time to consider an answer. “I do. I love you, Zachary. I love you.”

Her quick reply softened the hard edges across his face. Still, he kept a straight face and said in a hurt voice, “Do you really love me though? Why can’t you remember that I hate furry animals if you love me? You even carried it into my room.”

Serenity was speechless.

She lowered her head for a look. “Oh!”

Embarrassed, she said, “I’m sorry, Zachary. I forgot I have the cat in my arms. I’ll carry it out right away. Don’t worry. I have been holding it the whole time, so the fur will only be stuck to me. I promise you no furs in your room.”

She quickly carried the ragdoll out of there.

Despite the cat being beautiful and cute, Zachary could not warm up to the furry little thing. He even questioned her love because she brought the cat into the bedroom.

Sigh.

After bringing the ragdoll out, Serenity put the cat on the ground, got up, and said to Mrs. Lane, “Why didn’t you warn me that I was still holding the cat, Mrs. Lane? Your boss can be so anal. He’s already having a fit, but now he’s questioning whether my love for him is true just because I brought the cat in.”

Married At First Sight Chapter 1306

Chapter 1306

“When’s Nana coming back? I miss her so much.’

Serenity missed the days when the old woman lived with them.

Mrs. Lane said, “It was too late by the time I wanted to remind you. You already pushed the door and went in.”

Serenity sighed again. ‘Til go wash my hands.”

She washed her hands twice with antibacterial soap and went back to the room where she used to sleep. She then took a set of clean clothes from the closet and changed before she re-entered the master bedroom.

“Babe, I washed my hands twice with antibacterial soap and changed my clothes too. There won’t be a single cat fur on my body.”

Serenity walked behind Zachary and reached out to encircle his waist.

“I’m sorry, okay? I really just forgot that I was holding the cat. In fact, they’re really cute, and you were the one who gave them to me. I treasure everything that you give me. You said you’d treasure it even if I gave you grass, and it’s the same for me. I’ll treasure whatever you give me.”

Zachary did not turn around and let her hug his waist.

He said, ‘When I woke up and didn’t see you, I asked Mrs. Lane where you were. I felt left behind by you when she told me that you went out early. When you came back, you called me by my name instead of babe.”

“Babe, babe, babe… Does that make up for it? Don’t be mad.” Serenity called him babe several times. ‘You also often run out in the middle of the night, and I have no idea what you do outside. If that’s the way you’re going to put it, I’ve also lost count of how many times you’ve left me behind.

“But I never got angry at you, and I never questioned whether your love for me is true.”

Zachary paused before saying, “Are you calling me petty?”

Serenity loosened her embrace and stood in front of him. She raised her hand to pinch his face and grinned. “Aren’t you? You’re always like this. You only think of your own feelings, but you don’t consider mine when you do the same thing I do.

“Name a time when I bickered with you over what you did. Has there been a time when the reason we fought and gave each other the cold shoulder wasn’t because of your temper?”

Zachary was speechless.

“I go out in the middle of the night because there are very important things to deal with.”

“I know, that’s why I don’t let it bother me. I don’t get angry at you, much less question you.”

Zachary was silent. Well, compared to her, he really was way pettier.

“I went out early to help my sister. I wasn’t doing anything that would let you down. I also told you the truth when I came back. Tell me, babe. Was I really in the wrong?”

Serenity’s beautiful eyes burned into him.

If he were to say she was wrong, she would let him sleep in the study for the next six months!

Zachary did not dare say that she was wrong.

It was completely natural for her to help out her sister.

Her sister’s breakfast diner usually closed around noon, but Serenity reached home just a little past nine. That meant she left the store around nine.

She also explained her reason for going out when she came back.

Zachary could not say that she was in the wrong.

‘You’re not wrong.”

He took her into his arms. “Seren, I just hope that I’ll open my eyes to see you when I wake up every day in the future. I’ll feel very happy and content when I see you in the morning.”

“I also want that, but can you do it?”

Zachary was speechless.

Serenity smothered a laugh in his arms. “Not even you can do it. It’s natural that I can’t do it either.”

Married At First Sight Chapter 1307

Chapter 1307

“Putting aside all the things we have to do, even if we retire in the future, there’s no guarantee that we’ll wake up every day and see each other right when we open our eyes.”

There would always be one of them who would wake up earlier than the other.

Zachary knew that he was being absurd.

“Mrs. Lane said that you haven’t eaten yet. You must be hungry. Come on, let’s go eat. I’ll accompany you.”

Serenity refuted him until he was speechless, and she could tell that he realized he was being unreasonable. Thus, she stopped dwelling on the topic and took the initiative to change the subject.

The couple would just end up arguing if they dwelled on it further.

“Okay.”

Zachary hummed and let go of his beloved wife.

Serenity pulled him out.

Mrs. Lane already served Zachary’s breakfast on the table.

Zachary was fussy, but in front of Serenity, he would always have to bow his head and compromise.

Mrs. Lane was not worried at all that the breakfast she made would be wasted.

“Why didn’t you bring Sonny over?”

Zachary’’s mood improved when his wife sat with him for breakfast. He stopped pulling a long face and asked about the little boy.

“Liberty said she would close up early today and let Sonny play in the store. She’ll take him home later. Zac-Babe, let’s bring Sonny over to stay with us. It’ll make things easier for my sister, and Sonny will be able to sleep peacefully too.”

Zachary said, “I’m fine with that. You know that I like Sonny very much.”

Sonny always got up early with his mother, so his sleep quality suffered.

If such a small child slept badly, it would affect his growth.

“Has your sister agreed?”

“I asked both Liberty and Sonny to move in with us, but she said no. She refused before, and she’s still refusing now. That’s the kind of person my sister is. She’s always worried that she’ll bother us. She agreed to let us take Sonny, but she won’t move in with us.”

Zachary said, “Liberty has always been a strong and independent woman. She was just trapped in her marriage for a few years. She won’t think about living with us.”

From the beginning, Liberty had refused to move in with the couple.

She would not start wanting to move in now.

She had also repeatedly declined the couple’s financial help.

Liberty felt that she still had some money of her own. Her business was doing well, and she was making a profit, so she did not need her sister and brother-in-law to help her money-wise.

“By the way, Mr. Lewis came early to Liberty’s store for breakfast. I really don’t get his motives. If I ask if he likes Liberty, he won’t admit it and say that he’s only there every day because he likes Sonny.

“But it doesn’t seem like he doesn’t like Liberty either. He’s always very eager to helo whenever my sister faces trouble. He goes to the rescue faster than I can.”

Zachary said, “If Duncan says he doesn’t like her, then leave it at that. Don’t you disapprove of him getting together with your sister? Mrs. Lewis is not easy to get along with.”

“I feel that Mr. Lewis isn’t bad, but since you said that Mrs. Lewis isn’t easy to get along with, I don’t want my sister to be bullied by her mother-in-law again.”

Serenity was the same as Audrey. They both admired Duncan, but they did not approve of Liberty marrying him. They did not want Liberty to suffer at the hands of her mother-in-law again.

A mother-in-law like Olivia was already bad enough; a mother-in-law from an affluent family would only be harder to deal with.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1308

Chapter 1308

Serenity once again sighed at her fortune. Although the man she married liked to throw tantrums, he was very good to her. He never raised his hand against her, and she did not have to worry about him cheating on her.

More importantly, his family was great. Having open-minded and tolerant in -laws like the Yorks was rare among wealthy and influential families.

She remembered Grandma May saying that since Serenity saved her life, she would never introduce a bad grandson to Serenity.

In fact, all of her grandsons were exceptional.

Zachary was just the oldest and thought to be the most exceptional by his elders.

“Mrs. Lewis already helped pick a wife candidate for Mr. Lewis. Her name is Ms. Lily Harmon. She’s young and beautiful, but she also seems to be smart and competent. I could tell at a glance that she was an experienced person. The self-confidence and nobility that emanates from her gestures show that she came from a wealthy background. Furthermore, she must be good if she could earn Mrs. Lewis’s favor.”

“I know.”

Zachary said while eating, “It’s because Mrs. Lewis tried to forcefully matchmake Duncan several times that he was shameless enough to stay in our house.”

He did not know what the woman’s name was.

There was no need for him to know.

She was not his wife candidate.

All he needed to know was his Serenity.

“It’s still Ms. Harmon? I thought it would be someone else.

“Mrs. Lewis has high standards. Although she’s anxious about Duncan’s marriage, she’ll never allow him to marry below his social status. She picks her daughter-in-law like she’s a queen choosing a consort for the prince. There are not many noble ladies in Wiltspoon who caught her eye.”

The families that Mrs. Lewis had her eye on did not have daughters suitable for marriage.

As for families that did have marriageable daughters, Mrs. Lewis did not take a fancy to them.

The Lewises were one of the top-ranking giants in Wiltspoon. Duncan was capable on his own and was worth tens of billions.

When his father passed and the family assets were divided, Duncan’s fortune would continue to grow even if he did not take a single penny from the inheritance.

Thus, Mrs. Lewis was naturally very demanding in choosing a wife for him.

Zachary thought of how the York family had no daughters. If he had a sister, she would surely be Mrs. Lewis’s number-one pick.

“Liberty said that Mrs. Lewis passed by one day and visited the store for a chat. She let Liberty see Ms. Harmon’s picture. Babe, I think Mrs. Lewis did it on purpose. She wanted my sister to back off.”

Without further thought, he said, “She definitely did it on purpose. An arrogant person like Mrs. Lewis wouldn’t approach your sister and make small talk even if she was just passing by.”

When Audrey hosted a banquet for her two nieces, Mrs. Lewis did not pay much attention to Liberty that night. The two did not meet again after that banquet.

Why would Mrs. Lewis go in and chat with Liberty just because she was passing by?

“Will Mrs. Lewis wreck my sister’s store? Will she toss out a check of five million, then tell my sister to leave with the money and never come back to see Mr. Lewis?”

Zachary, who was drinking milk, instantly choked when he heard Serenity. He coughed furiously and quickly put down the glass of milk.

Serenity tried to pat his back, but he raised his hand to stop her.

He quickly stopped coughing and said with a smile, “Seren, you think too much. Clichés like that only happen in novels, not in real life.

“If we didn’t exist and your sister was really trying to pursue Duncan, then Mrs. Lewis would get someone to smash her store. Then, she’ll forcefully drive your sister away, but she won’t give her a single penny.”

Zachary continued, “But Mrs. Lewis won’t do that because we’re around. I’m good friends with Duncan, and you’re my wife as well as the missus of the York family. No matter how displeased Mrs. Lewis is, there’s nothing she can do. Besides, you guys have your aunt too.

“Even if Liberty likes Duncan, Mrs. Lewis would at most go straight to your sister to talk to her. She’ll tell your sister directly that she won’t accept a daughter-in-law like her.”

Married At First Sight Chapter 1309

Chapter 1309

“I think Mrs. Lewis showed your sister Ms. Harmon’s picture deliberately to test whether your sister has any ideas about Duncan. In the end, she found out that Liberty has absolutely no interest in her son and was purely focused on her store and making money.”

Zachary’s analysis was more thorough than Serenity’s.

“If Liberty showed the slightest hint that she was interested in Duncan, Mrs. Lewis would not allow her to continue operating her store.”

Serenity agreed with her husband.

Mrs. Lewis was testing Liberty, but Liberty did not know anything. However, that was good. At least Liberty would not be influenced.

“Babe, do you think I should tell my sister about all this?”

“Mrs. Lewis’s hands are tied, which means she’s on the same boat as we are. She only has speculations but no way to prove them. You don’t need to say anything to Liberty. I’ll talk to Duncan and tell him not to go to your sister’s store for breakfast so often in the future.”

Zachary grumbled about Duncan in his heart, ‘He has breakfast prepared for him at home. Why does he have to get up early every weekend to go all the way to All You Can Eat for breakfast?’

“Okay.”

After Zachary ate his fill, Serenity asked him with a smile, “Do you want me to accompany you anywhere else?”

Zachary dotingly flicked her forehead. “Of course. I’ve eaten too much and need to go on a walk to help with digestion. Walk with me downstairs.”

Serenity grinned. “It’ll be my honor.”

“Don’t be so serious. You’re just walking with me. It’s nothing that honorable.”

Mrs. Lane smiled as she watched the couple go out on a walk.

Serenity wanted to bring Snowball with her. She looked at the man beside her, then glanced at Snowball, who looked like he wanted to follow. In the end, she chose her man and left Snowball behind.

There were quite a number of people walking around in the neighborhood, and there were many walking their dogs.

Zachary did not like to be close to those small animals. Whenever he encountered someone with their dog, he pulled Serenity and avoided them. There was one person walking his dog who was embarrassed and said to the couple, “My dog doesn’t bite.”

Small dogs were all the dogs that the residents of the area kept as pets.

Serenity smiled sheepishly at the man but did not explain that her husband did not like furry animals.

As for Zachary, he always put on an icy cold face when they were outside. His expression was hard like it was carved from marble.

Serenity thought, ‘l can’t even take a chisel to carve his face. It’s too tough!’

“Babe, why don’t you like cats or dogs? Putting aside whether other people’s pets are cute or not, our little Snowball and two Ragdolls are adorable, but you don’t like them either. Snowball is round and chubby, so I find him especially cute.”

Mrs. Lewis took great care of the three pets.

Even the two Ragdolls were fed until they were round. They were more than twice as big as when they first arrived at Serenity’s side.

“I don’t know why either. I just don’t like them. Back at the manor, my cousins never dared let their pets appear in front of me for fear that I’d sell them.”

Zachary held Serenity’s hand tightly and looked at her.

She did not like how cold and quiet the house was back then, and the couple often got into spats, so it indeed got a little awkward sometimes. After thinking about it, he decided to send her some pets for her to keep, but he did not allow the three little things to enter his room.

That was the line he drew.

For her, he broke too many exceptions.

Serenity knew what his look meant and said with a smile, ‘Thanks, babe.”

He would not have given her pets if he did not love her.

In fact, Zachary already fell in love with her back when he compromised and gave her pets.

“If it’s something you like, I’ll do my best to satisfy you as long as it’s within the scope of what I can tolerate. Don’t thank me. I don’t like to hear you thank me. If you really want to thank me, give me something practical.”

Serenity laughed. “You don’t lack anything, and I wholly belong to you. What else can I give you?”

Zachary liked what she had just said very much.

Ring, ring, ring…

Serenity’s phone rang.

When she took out her phone to look at the caller ID, she excitedly answered the call.

Zachary tried to guess who the person calling was. Why was Serenity so eager to answer their call?

Was she also this excited whenever he called her?

Zachary tended to be jealous of her loved ones and compared himself to them. He hoped that in the end, she would consider him to be the most significant.

“Nana.”

Serenity did not know that the man beside her was being jealous because she answered the phone so quickly.

The call was from Grandma May.

When Zachary heard Serenity’s greeting over the phone, he raised the white flag of surrender in his heart.

He could not beat his nana.

“Seren, how have you been? Did you miss me while I wasn’t home?”

Grandma May laughed over the phone, obviously in a good mood.

“How could I have not missed you? You ran all the way to Jensburg without a word. I wanted to follow you there to see the fun.”

Grandma May chortled. “There’s no fun to see yet. When there is, the person causing the hustle would go over to find Zack and you even without me calling you. It’s the weekend today, and Zack doesn’t have to work. Don’t you two have any plans?

“A simple road trip would be good too. You’ll be bored if you stay at home all day.”

‘We have a banquet to attend tonight, so we didn’t make any other plans today. We’ve already visited all the scenic spots in Wiltspoon. There’s nowhere else on the list to visit.”

Serenity was frank.

She had lived in Wiltspoon for many years and went to all the fun places even before she married Zachary.

‘What banquet? Who’s the host? Are you still going with your aunt?” Grandma May asked with concern.

“It’s the Marshalls’ banquet. It’s being held at Wiltspoon Hotel. I’m going with Zachary, so I won’t be with my aunt tonight.”

Grandma May smiled upon hearing that. “Oh, the Marshalls? He had always held his banquets in October. Why did he bring forward this year’s banquet by half a year? Does he plan to hold two banquets this year? Well, go ahead with Zack then. He has never brought a woman to a banquet with him before.

“He doesn’t have any experience. Seren, you have to tolerate him.

Remember what I told you. You need to teach your man to become the man you want him to be. A good man can only be trained by your own hands, but don’t spoil him too much. Men can’t be spoiled. A little sweetness is enough to spoil them rotten.”

Standing beside Serenity, Zachary heard everything that his nana said. He could not help but spit out, “Nana, are you really my grandmother? I’ve never heard you say good things about me.”

“Seren, is that brat with you?”

Grandma May’s voice did not grow softer. Instead, she raised her voice, deliberately letting Zachary hear her clearly.

She said, ‘You little brat, you need to work on your temper and that tense face of yours. It’s as if everyone owes you a million dollars. Only someone like Serenity can tolerate you. You have to cherish your blessings and treat her well.”

Zachary said, “Will it be enough if I carve out my heart for her?”
