Married At First Sight Chapter 1481

Chapter 1481

Ring, ring, ring…

Duncan’s phone rang.

It was Zachary who called.

Duncan immediately answered it.

“Josh is inviting us to dinner tonight.”

Duncan beat Zachary to it as he assumed Zachary was going to ask if he was free.

The three of them were the closest of friends. Since Josh was no longer a bachelor and invited

them to dinner, Duncan would go even if he was busy.

“I know, he sent me a message long ago.”

Zachary held his phone in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other. He called Duncan while he was drinking coffee.

“My wife saw through you.”

“Saw through me?”

Duncan did not get it at first.

He soon understood and responded, “She saw through me? That’s good. I was wondering how I can say it.”

Initially, Duncan wanted to act on his feelings after realizing them.

It was Zachary who persuaded him to hold back.

Zachary told Duncan that it was inappropriate to tell Liberty about his feelings at the moment because she was injured and still weak. He asked Duncan to wait first.

Considering his mom’s dislike for Liberty and that Liberty had experienced a failed marriage, Duncan was willing to wait for a few years.

He could silently protect Liberty by her side. Once she achieved success and was recognized, he would confess to her.

Duncan thought the two of them would have a much better chance of getting together then.

Besides, time would reveal a person’s heart.

Liberty could definitely feel Duncan silently protecting her and staying by her side.

Companionship was the deepest confession.

Duncan did not expect Serenity to see through him.

He looked at his mom and guessed that she must have gone to see Liberty again. While she might

not have made things difficult for Liberty, she would say things with sarcasm.

Liberty would always tell her sister everything. Duncan guessed that was how Serenity saw through him.

“Okay, I got it.”

Since Liberty knew what he was thinking, he no longer needed to hold back.

Zachary wanted to say something but stopped. He finally sighed and said, “If it doesn’t work out, don’t dwell on it.”

He was sandwiched at the moment.

On one hand, it was his close buddy–he hoped his buddy could be happy.

On the other was his sister-in-law. He loved Serenity, and his love for her extended to her sister.

Similarly, he also hoped that his sister-in-law could fall in love for the second time and that it

would be better than her first.

Zachary did not want Liberty and Duncan to become strangers because of feelings.

Duncan did not say anything.

Zachary also did not say more either. He took the initiative to end the call.

Afterward, he silently finished his cup of coffee.

Cupid must be working overtime lately, constantly matching the people around him.

There was Callum, Kevin, and Duncan.

Their love lives were kicked off almost simultaneously.

Only Remy and Elisa were still shy and hiding their feelings.

Even so, Zachary and Serenity could take their time and watch the show. Back then, the others watched the show between them for a long time.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1482

Chapter 1482

Zachary went back to work.

His wife would pick him up from the office in the afternoon, and they would go and celebrate Josh and Jasmine’s marriage together.

Zachary could dive right back into his work, but Duncan could not focus on his.

Duncan’s mom asked him right after Zachary ended the call, “Duncan, what did Zachary tell you?”

“Mom, do I need to tell you the content of my calls? You didn’t even take me seriously when I was a child. Now that I’m in my thirties, you’re here to control me. Don’t you think it’s too late?” Mrs. Lewis choked.

“Mom, you’ve finished what you wanted to say. I have to get back to work.”

Duncan wanted his mom to leave.

Mrs. Lewis said after a moment of silence, “Since Josh is treating you to dinner tonight, take Lily with you and let her slowly integrate into your circle of friends.”

“No!”

Duncan directly refused.

Mrs. Lewis asked, “Do you hate Lily that much? What about her that is inferior to Liberty? She’s better than Liberty-be it her background, appearance, or age. She’s also much more capable than Liberty.”

“Ms. Harmon isn’t better than Liberty; she was just better at her reincarnation this life. If Liberty had the same starting point as Ms. Harmon, she might’ve taken control of a big group on her own long ago.

“Mom, don’t ask me why. I don’t know the answer either, but I just like Liberty. There’s no need to ask why and when. I just have to move and look forward.”

Mrs. Lewis was furious.

“Mom, are you going back by yourself, or should I arrange for my secretary to drive you?”

Mrs. Lewis stood up and said with a tense face, “I’ll go back by myself.”

“Have a safe trip.”

Duncan smiled with his eyes squinted despite having pissed off his mom.

Mrs. Lewis called Lily after she left Lewis & Co. She said, “Lily, Josh got his marriage license today and invited Duncan and the others to dinner tonight. You should accompany him.

“That’s Duncan’s circle of friends. You should first blend in with his friends, and then you’ll slowly be able to find your way into his heart.”

When Lily received Mrs. Lewis’s call, she was in a good mood as she happened to have sealed a deal with a veteran CEO.

“Okay, Mrs. Lewis, I’ll go find Duncan at his office later.”

Mrs. Lewis was very pleased with Lily’s positivity. She asked, “Have you settled the collaboration you’ve been working on for a few days?”

Lily smiled and answered, “Yes. I informed my secretary to book a flight and send me the contract. After signing the contract with Mr. Ziegel, I don’t need to worry about any changes.”

Mrs. Lewis was also happy for her.

She felt that Lily’s achievements would belong to their family in the future. The greater Lily was, the more she would be able to help Duncan. The husband and wife together could make Lewis & Co. better.

“Lily, congrats.”

Lily thanked Mrs. Lewis with a smile.

The two of them chatted for a while before Mrs. Lewis hung up the phone.

Her mood was seriously affected after her son pissed her off, but her future daughter-in-law made up for it.

What Mrs. Lewis did not know was after she ended the call, Lily called Duncan and told him everything.

Lily said, “Mrs. Lewis isn’t going to give up. Duncan, I won’t go to the dinner with you, but in case she checks and causes unnecessary trouble, send me a picture of the dinner later.

“I’ll upload it to my social media. Mrs. Lewis will think we’re dining together when she sees it.”

Duncan responded in a deep voice, “Mr. Harmon, if you do that, it’ll only make my mom even more determined to set us up. You mean well, but I don’t think that’s necessary. I’m also not afraid of my mom talking to me about it.

“Apart from my granny, who had some say, even my parents can’t interfere in my marriage.”

Duncan’s granny had passed away many years ago.

Duncan respected his granny very much, but she could not come back from the dead to stop her youngest grandson from pursuing Liberty.

Nonetheless, Old Mrs. Lewis and Old Mrs. York were good friends.

The two besties had similar temperaments. Old Mrs. York was unconventional when it came to choosing partners for her grandsons.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1484

Chapter 1484

“Thanks for your concern, Mr. Charles. My sister is doing much better now and is recovering quite well,” Serenity replied.

“That’s good, that’s good.”

Mr. Charles ate some of the vegetables in his bowl again.

“Serenity, I’ll tell you something. Can you give me some advice and tell me if it’s reliable or not? I told Mrs. Charles, and she scolded me.”

Serenity chuckled and said, “Mr. Charles, go ahead. What is it? I’ll listen to it and give you some advice.”

“You know I can tell fortunes, right? But I didn’t learn it from a teacher and somehow learned from others to get into it. I also read some books and figured it out myself.”

Mr. Charles stopped eating and said softly, “But I think I can now set up a fortune-telling stall by the road or in the park. I’ll just do it during my free time so I can get some extra money for my family, though I still have to tend to our grocery store.

“It’s just that as our children and elders grow older, middle-aged people like us are under more pressure. It’s exhausting for our family to rely solely on our grocery store’s income, so I want to earn some extra money. However, Mrs. Charles scolded me terribly.

“She asked me to tell her what the seven winning numbers of the lottery will be tonight. Oh, no, tomorrow. Today is Wednesday, and the draws are only done on Thursdays. She wants to put all her money into buying the special draw. The special draw’s odds are higher than the regular one. It’s a 1:100 ratio.”

Mr. Charles complained, “If I know what numbers will be drawn for the lottery, I would’ve been richer than the richest man long ago. Would I need to set up a stall by the road? She scolded me for being lazy and trying to sneak out to play.”

Serenity responded with a smile, “Mr. Charles, remember to call me and let me know if you know the winning numbers for tomorrow. I’ll also spend all my fortune on the special draw.”

“Serenity, don’t tease me. I just think that I can now set up a stall with my skill level. Any money earned counts.”

“Mr. Charles, if you want to earn extra money, you don’t have to set up a fortune-telling stall in the park. Many would think that those who set up stalls in the park are swindlers; those who are truly skilled won’t need to do so as customers will go to them.”

Mr. Charles said after a moment of silence, “I don’t have other skills. I was only interested in this and studied it for many years before feeling that I finally grasped a part of it.”

He was quite accurate with Serenity’s fortune.

Mr. Charles had long told his wife that Serenity would have a rich and honorable life. Ordinary rich families would not be her match.

Now that Serenity had married into the Yorks, the richest family, Mr. Charles thought that he was right.

That was why he had the idea of setting up a stall at the park to earn some money.

“There are many professions in the world, and every profession produces an expert. If I support what you want to do, I’d feel like I’m promoting superstition. That said, I still think that you should go for it and give it a go if it’s what you want. Whether you succeed or fail, you won’t regret it as long as you’ve tried.

“Mr. Charles, you still need to go back and have a proper chat with Mrs. Charles. Since you’ll do it during your free time and won’t affect your grocery store’s business, she’ll understand and agree to it. After all, you’re doing it for your family.”

Serenity did not stop moving things while she talked to Mr. Charles. Once she was done moving them, she returned to the counter to take her bag and picked up her phone to put it into her pocket. She said to Mr. Charles, “Mr. Charles, a married couple can only live happily by communicating.”

Mr. Charles smiled and replied to her after some thought, “Serenity, you’re over a decade younger than me, but you’re more perceptive. You really woke me up from my dream. You’re getting off work now, aren’t you? In that case, I won’t bother you any longer. I’ll go back and discuss it with Mrs. Charles.”

With that, Mr. Charles left happily.

He returned to his family’s grocery store.

Serenity watched Mr. Charles leave and only retracted her gaze after some time. She pulled down the shutter and locked it.

Mr. Charles’s life was a reflection of thousands of ordinary people.

A middle-aged person had the old and the young to look after. They would not dare fall sick or be lazy, and they would work hard to earn money to support their family.

How stressful.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1485

Chapter 1485

Serenity visited her sister in the hospital first.

When she arrived at the hospital, Liberty and Sonny had finished their dinner.

“Aunt Ser.”

Sonny was delighted to see Serenity. He ran to her asking her to carry him.

Serenity picked him up and saw her sister getting ready to wash the insulated lunch boxes. She quickly said, “Liberty, I’ll wash them.”

“You don’t need to. I’m also bored now, so I’m just looking for things to do.” Otherwise, Liberty would have let Mrs. Lane wash the lunch boxes long ago.

“You closed the bookstore pretty early today.”

Serenity stood at the bathroom door with her nephew in her arms. While watching her sister wash the lunch boxes with hot water, she responded, “Jasmine is treating us to dinner. Sonny, you’re full from dinner already. I was going to take you to dinner.”

Liberty chuckled and said, “I’m being raised like a pig now. I eat, sleep, and repeat every day. Moreover, the food brought by Sam every day is delicious. If I keep going at this on a daily basis, I’ll grow to a hundred sixty pounds again when I get discharged.”

She was someone who gained weight easily.

As long as she ate a little more, her waist would become thicker.

“There’s no such thing. I see that you’ve lost a lot of weight.”

Liberty had almost died but survived, after all.

“Take Sonny with you later. He’s bored from spending all day here with me. He always wants to watch cartoons on my phone, but I don’t let him because it’s bad for his eyes.”

Liberty washed the lunch boxes and continued, “Seren, before you come over tomorrow, go to my place and bring Sonny’s set of Lego blocks so he can play with them when he comes after class. It’s better than watching cartoons on the phone.

“Bring the reading and writing set as well. I’m super bored now, so it’s the perfect time for me to teach him to read and write. He’s going to kindergarten in September and will learn something then. Preschool is the same as hiring someone else to take care of him.”

Kindergarten tuition was not cheap nowadays. A semester could easily cost several thousand dollars or even ten thousand dollars for better ones.

If a child started now, they would need to attend three years of kindergarten to go to elementary school.

Raising a child was the most expensive thing to do, or children would not be known as “money- eaters”.

“Okay.”

Seeing that her sister was fine, Serenity quickly left the hospital with Sonny and went to York Corporation.

It was after work time by the time they arrived.

“Mrs. York.

“Mrs. York.”

When Serenity entered, employers who saw her along the way greeted her with smiles.

Sonny, who was being held by her, stood out the most.

The little one was handsome and cute. When some senior managers stopped to talk to Serenity, he greeted them sweetly and was praised for that.

Zachary knew Serenity had arrived the moment her car entered the building.

He had long finished his work at hand and only waited for Serenity in his office because she said that she would come to pick him up.

Zachary immediately took the elevator and went downstairs when he knew Serenity had arrived.

“Uncle Zak.”

Sonny was sharp-eyed and saw Zachary. He broke free from Serenity and dashed toward Zachary like a happy little bird.

When Sonny’s adorable voice was heard, many people stopped and turned to look at their cold- faced CEO.

They saw their CEO taking a few quick steps forward. He squatted and opened his arms for Sonny to run into his embrace.

Sonny buried his head into Zachary’s arms. Following that, Zachary carried him up and spun him in circles that he laughed out loud.

Zachary laughed as well.

Everyone else was speechless.

Was this their cold-faced CEO?

He had such a gentle side.

It seemed that their stone-cold CEO liked children.

Given how well their CEO treated his wife and nephew, for all they knew, he might become a stay- at-home dad after Mrs. York gave birth to a child. He might even come to work with the baby.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1486

Chapter 1486

Everyone imagined Zachary coming to work with a baby in his arms. They could not help but shiver and did not dare imagine it!

The senior managers who were talking to Serenity said with a smile, “Mrs. York, Mr. York is here. We’ll be leaving first.”

They did not want to be third wheels.

Serenity grinned and nodded. After the senior managers left, she walked over to the man and the kid with a smile.

“Zachary, you have to hold him tight.”

Some people did not hold their children tight when lifting or spinning them, causing them to fall on the ground. The consequences would be serious.

Zachary stopped lifting and spinning Sonny in the air.

He lowered Sonny and carried him instead as he responded with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll hold him tight. I won’t let him fall no matter what.

“Sonny, am I good?”

Sonny answered, “Uncle Zak, you’re good-very good.”

The little guy thought, ‘As long as you stop calling me a third wheel, you’ll be even better.’

Sonny finished talking and wrapped his arms around Zachary and kissed him on the face. Afterward, he acted shy and buried his head on Zachary’s shoulder.

Zachary smiled from ear to ear after he was kissed by the little guy.

He said to Serenity, “No wonder Duncan is extra fond of Sonny. This little one is truly likable and lovable.”

Serenity chuckled and said, “Don’t you know who raised him? I raised him, so of course, he’s adorable.”

Zachary looked at his wife.

“Why are you looking at me like that? What I said is true-I brought Sonny up.”

“You’re right, you’re right. I just wanted to see how thick-faced my wife has become since being together with me.”

“You admit that you’re thick-faced.”

Serenity took one of Zachary’s arms. The two of them walked outside together.

Zachary laughed and said, “I am-I’m very shameless in front of you. Nana likes to criticize me the most. Sometimes, she calls me out so much that I wonder if I’m truly her grandson.”

Serenity wanted to laugh when she recalled how Grandma May attacked Zachary verbally in the past. Nonetheless, Serenity held back so that she could maintain her good image as the CEO’s wife.

“Nana only criticizes her grandsons. She likes to make fun of her closest ones but is gentle and polite to outsiders. Everyone says she’s kind and generous.”

Zachary had no comments.

Serenity was right.

No wonder Grandma May liked Serenity so much. It was because Serenity matched her taste.

“Was everything okay this afternoon?” Zachary asked Serenity.

“You know best if everything was okay.” Zachary’s men were always secretly protecting her. He could learn about her every move at any time if he wanted to.

Serenity added, “What can happen to me now? They’ve been caught and are waiting to be sentenced.”

Even so, she also learned a lesson from this.

Mischievous people were difficult to deal with.

Serenity would try not to offend petty people in the future.

This time, Serenity offended Mrs. Newman and her daughter to save Camryn. The mother and daughter were brutal. Now, 90% of Mrs. Newman’s dark forces were cut off, and the rest of them were being pursued by the police. This case had somewhat ended.

“Oh, there are a few things still on my mind. It’s about Elisa and Remy. I wonder when the two of them will remove the veil.”

Zachary leaned into her ear and whispered, “That’s their business. You should put your mind on our wedding.”

“Isn’t it still early?”

They still had several months to prepare for it.

Serenity was not in a hurry at all.

She felt that there was still plenty of time.

Zachary said he had asked an internationally famous bridal designer to tailor a wedding dress for her. That designer had not come yet.

Serenity did not care about these things because Zachary would arrange them nicely.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1487

Chapter 1487

“It’s still early, but we have to get ready nonetheless.”

Zachary added, “You don’t need to worry about it and just need to work with the designer. The designer will create a wedding dress that suits your figure and temperament. You’ll definitely be the most beautiful bride when you put it on.”

Serenity smiled and said, “I think I’ll still be your most beautiful bride even if I don’t wear a bespoke wedding dress.”

She was confident about her appearance.

Zachary grinned as well. “Yes, you’ve always been my prettiest bride. I just want to give you the best.”

He also wanted to prepare his wedding gifts for her.

His properties and what would be given by his family would be used as the bridewealth. Zachary and Serenity left the office building and walked together to Zachary’s Rolls-Royce. “You don’t need to follow us anymore,” Zachary said to the bodyguards.

The bodyguards responded to him with respect.

Only after Zachary started the car and drove out of York Corporation did the bodyguards leave. Josh invited his friends to eat at Wiltspoon Hotel.

He did not invite many people. Apart from his close buddies, he also invited Callum, Remy, and Julian.

Julian’s father, Walter, had privately asked Josh to ask his son to join them.

His intention was clear-he wanted Josh to show off his relationship to stimulate Julian and see if Julian would be willing to get married.

Josh knew Julian was very unfeeling, but Julian was a few years older than him, so he was worried for his older cousin.

When Josh’s uncle asked him to invite Julian, he agreed to it right away.

On the other hand, Jasmine only invited Serenity and Elisa, but the latter could not make it at the last minute.

Since they were at Wiltspoon Hotel, Josh called Kevin to join them too.

Once everyone arrived, apart from Josh and Zachary, who were accompanied by their wives, the others were all bachelors.

“Mr. Bucham, Jasmine, congratulations.”

Serenity gave her most sincere blessings when she saw the loving couple who had just become husband and wife.

Jasmine responded with a smile, “Thank you.”

She bent down to pick up Sonny and said, “Sonny.”

“Jazz, you look so beautiful tonight.”

Sonny praised Jasmine’s beauty as soon as he was picked up.

Jasmine did not dress up on purpose. She only put on light makeup and changed into a red colored outfit.

A joyful occasion would boost one’s spirits.

As such, Jasmine was glowing and looked especially charming.

She smiled even brighter after being complimented by the little one. “Sonny, you’re a handsome boy too.”

Sonny was very calm when he was called a handsome boy.

He had heard such praises a lot.

“Everyone, take your seats.’

Josh greeted everyone and asked them to sit.

“Serenity, can I sit next to you?” Callum asked with a smile.

When Zachary glared at him, he immediately said, “I-I’ll sit next to Sonny.”

Serenity was in between Zachary and Sonny. If Callum sat next to Sonny, he would still be close to his sister-in-law.

Zachary only eased his tense face when Serenity held his hand.

What a domineering man.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1488

Chapter 1488

Everyone present knew Josh and Jasmine’s wedding date had been set. The wedding will be held at the end of this month, so they all teased Josh.

Josh openly accepted everyone’s banters and blessings.

“Except for Zachary, everyone here is a bachelor.”

Josh filled his glass with wine and said to everyone with a smile, “Here’s a toast to all you bachelors. From today onward, I’m officially out of your ranks. You don’t need to invite me to any bachelor activity from now on. Enjoy getting high among yourselves.”

Remy remarked with a smile, “I envy you, Mr. Bucham.”

On the other hand, Duncan noted, “From today onward, Josh will be henpecked like Zachary.”

Zachary responded in a deep voice, “I can be henpecked, but you don’t have the chance to even if you want to.”

Duncan replied to him, “Zachary… that’s hurtful. Serenity, you need to control him.”

Serenity took some food for her nephew. Sonny had eaten dinner and did not want to eat again, but there were some sides that he liked to eat, so he helped himself to them.

“Zachary didn’t say anything wrong, so I don’t need to control him.”

“Look, this is what a married couple is like. Your hearts are connected.” Duncan laughed and added, “You’re the most envied couple among our buddies.”

Kevin suggested, “Duncan, if you’re envious, hurry up and find a girlfriend so we can envy you. Didn’t you chat happily with Harmon Corporation’s vice president at the Marshall’s party? I saw you dancing to a song, and you look well-matched.”

Duncan immediately looked at Serenity, afraid that she would tell Liberty about it. Nonetheless, Serenity was also present that night and saw everything. She would have told Liberty long ago if she wanted to.

As such, he replied to Kevin calmly and honestly, “That’s my mom’s chosen candidate, not someone I like. I already have a crush on someone. If I successfully pursue her and am lucky enough to marry her, I’ll definitely treat you to a big meal as Josh did.”

Apart from the two married couples, the bachelors did not know Duncan liked Liberty.

Remy was gossipy and asked out of curiosity, “Mr. Lewis, you have a crush on someone? I don’t think I’ve heard that you’re pursuing someone.”

Kevin laughed and said, “Remy, you underestimate Duncan. If he likes someone, he won’t pursue her and will directly go to City Hall to get their marriage license.”

“F*ck you. Do I look like an uncultured man?”

Duncan jokingly punched Kevin.

Everyone was teasing each other. Only Julian was silently eating and drinking.

He did not interrupt their conversation.

This was because he could not join in and was not interested in the topic.

He only showed up because his cousin was no longer a bachelor and invited him to a celebratory dinner.

“Jasmine, have some fish. I removed the skin for you.”

When Josh noticed that Julian was only focusing on eating and drinking without saying anything, he began to display his affection for Jasmine.

Despite that, Josh was also usually very considerate of Jasmine whenever they ate.

He removed the fish skin for Jasmine because she did not like it.

As for Zachary, he wore disposable gloves and peeled shrimps for Serenity and Sonny.

Serenity liked to eat shrimp. No matter who invited her and Zachary to dinner, they would have to order shrimp. It was also a way to let Zachary show how he spoiled his wife.

“Julian.”

Josh took some more food for Jasmine and called out to Julian.

Julian looked at him and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Julian, why aren’t you saying anything? Everyone is chatting happily.”

The others laughed and commented, “Julian, you’re the king of bachelors.”

Julian chuckled and said, “I’m not like you guys; I’m not a normal person.”

Everyone else was speechless.

Serenity and Jasmine were gossipy and pricked their ears.

They had heard many stories, but they wanted to know about Julian the most.

Sadly, whatever they heard about Julian was what he wanted to be known, which came directly from him behind the scenes. It was difficult for them to learn about him themselves.

When Serenity and Jasmine heard Julian say that he was abnormal, they became extremely curious.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1489

Chapter 1489

Josh asked with concern, “Julian, why are you not a normal person?”

Julian pursed his lips and answered, “I’m quite close to all of you, and Jasmine and Serenity are. experienced in relationships, so I’m not afraid of being laughed at by you. I don’t react to women.

Everyone was lost for words.

Serenity and Jasmine were best friends indeed. The shrimps they picked up fell back into their plate at the same time.

“Julian, y-you’re making an excuse, right? We won’t rush you to get married, so you don’t need to tell us that and scare me.”

Josh thought of his uncle’s hopeful gaze and his aunt’s expectant look. He felt that he had asked something he should not have.

His cousin’s words were shocking.

It scared him.

“Julian, what about men…?” Remy asked probingly.

He and Julian were sitting next to each other.

Remy had moved his hips discreetly. He was ready to switch seats if Julian said that he was into men.

However, who was Julian? Remy’s petty action could not escape his eyes.

Julian tugged at Remy’s arm in amusement. Remy almost bounced up.

“Remy, you don’t need to be so shocked. I’m not interested in men either. I just have an illness. I’ve seen a psychiatrist and also a famous specialist for male diseases. They all said my situation is difficult to handle.”

“Julian, don’t scare me.”

“Josh, am I the kind of person who lies? What I said is true. I won’t joke about my health.”

Julian looked grave.

Serenity put down her utensils and asked tentatively, “Julian, is what you have the hypoactive sexual desire disorder?”

Julian looked at Serenity and asked her in return, “You’ve heard of it?”

“I’ve read about it in books. It’s indeed hard to treat the illness, and it depends on your mental health as well. You’ll live an ordinary life if you can meet someone who can change you, or you’ll really end up alone.”

The others were speechless.

Julian nodded. “That’s what my doctor told me. So, Josh, go back and tell my dad that you don’t need to keep an eye on me anymore and that they should stop being hopeful. I don’t know who can save me.”

“Julian, that must be an excuse.”

After hearing what Julian said, everyone thought the same as Josh.

The other bachelors cursed inwardly at the same time, ‘Julian is really going all-out so that he won’t be rushed into marriage.

‘He’s willing to claim that he has a disease and doesn’t mind losing face.’

Nevertheless, they could not learn from Julian’s ruthlessness.

No wonder Julian could control many of their secrets, whereas no one knew his secrets unless he revealed them himself.

Moreover, they could not prove whether the secrets he revealed were truly secrets.

In any case, Julian was tall and handsome. He went to the gym and was in pink of health. How could he be ill and have hypoactive sexual desire disorder? The others who had not read miscellaneous books had not heard of the disease.

Jasmine asked her best friend after some thought, “Is it the same disease the male lead from the romance novel I read has?”

“I read about it in a reading club, not in a novel. You know I’m not into novels.”

When Jasmine and Serenity were in the bookstore, the former read novels while the latter knitted crafts. Serenity would occasionally read books during her free time. She liked to read popular books or history books. Only when she had no choice would she read novels that were famous among men.

Serenity would not read the kind of modern romance novels that Jasmine read every day.

Josh thought that his cousin really seemed to be uninterested in women. Could it be that Julian had hypoactive sexual desire disorder indeed and was not making an excuse?

Nobody present could confirm whether Julian told the truth or not, but Walter could.

As long as Josh told his uncle about this, his uncle would confirm it.

Josh decided to return to Bucham Manor tonight to tell his uncle about this. If his cousin was truly ill… There was nothing he could do about it.

Julian’s doctor said that it would be difficult for him to be treated. Since Josh did not study medicine, what could he do to help?

Married At First Sight Chapter 1490

Chapter 1490

Josh could not throw a talent show for Julian, could he?

After peeling a plate full of shrimp for his beloved wife, Zachary removed his disposable gloves and said in a deep voice, “I’ve heard of the disease.

“Julian, let nature take its course. How about I introduce my nana’s most trusted fortune teller to you? He can tell if you’re going to be forever alone or will have many children and grandchildren.”

Julian asked, “Grandma May’s most trusted psychic? If she trusts the psychic so much, he must be really skilled.”

He respected Grandma May very much and believed in what she said.

“Julian, let Grandma May’s trusted psychic see if someone can save you, okay?” Josh was impatient. He said to Zachary, “Zachary, call your nana later and ask her to introduce the psychic to my brother.”

Serenity wanted to laugh.

She tried her best to hold back.

Zachary said seriously, “Okay, I’ll call her when I get back.”

Julian looked at Zachary with an indescribable look.

Zachary calmly accepted his gaze.

“Aunt Ser, I want to drink water.”

A childish voice was heard, breaking the silent atmosphere.

“Okay.”

Serenity was going to pour Sonny a cup of warm water when Zachary had gone to do so.

Soon, Zachary returned with the water for Sonny.

“Thank you, Uncle Zak.”

Sonny was well-mannered and thanked him.

Julian looked at Sonny and asked Serenity, “Serenity, he’s your nephew, right? He’s cute and well- behaved.”

Serenity reached out to caress her nephew’s head. “Yes, his name is Sonny.”

“Uncle Jul, you look very cute too,” Sonny complimented Julian back.

Everyone laughed.

Julian chuckled and responded, “Little friend, I’m an adult now and can’t be described as cute.”

“Uncle Jul, you’re good-looking-as good-looking as Uncle Zak,” Sonny paraphrased.

Julian teased him on purpose. “Who’s better looking? Me or your Uncle Zak?”

Sonny answered without thinking, “Uncle Zak, of course.”

Everyone laughed again.

The little one was biased toward his family.

Zachary laughed as well. His love for Sonny was not in vain.

“Serenity.”

While everyone was talking and laughing, Callum called out to Serenity softly. When she looked at him, he whispered, “Serenity, I didn’t see Camryn. She wasn’t in the shop this afternoon. I think she’s just avoiding me.”

Callum could not reach Camryn as well.

It was because Camryn had changed her phone number.

The slap mark on Callum’s face had disappeared.

“Serenity, can you help me contact her?”

Callum no longer asked his sister-in-law to plead for him. He only wanted to know where Camryn was at the moment.
