Married At First Sight Chapter 41 Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 41 It was not busy at the shop during weekends. In fact, the shop could be closed due to the lack of business.

Yet, Serenity went to the shop anyway. The slow day made it the perfect time to make crafts to sell online.

Jasmine was here too.

Seeing that Serenity was in the shop, Jasmine asked in surprise, “Seren, what brings you here on a Sunday? You’re usually at the park with your nephew.” “It’s about time to replenish new stock for my online business.” While knitting, Serenity lifted her chin and looked at her best friend. She asked with a smile , “What about you?” “Ugh. I couldn’t stand my mom’s nagging, so I came to hide out here.” “What is it this time?” “She’s not happy that I didn’t find myself a husband at the dinner party that night. Does she think it’s that easy? She really thinks her daughter is a catch, that I’m Ms. Universe or something.” Serenity burst out laughing.

Jasmine just described most parents in the world. Parents fret over their children’s happy-ever -after when their children reached the age of having a family of their own. It was considered old to get married at twenty-five back then but not anymore.

“My mom asked my aunt to introduce men to me. I’m supposed to go on a blind date tonight at some coffee house. A date at a coffee house at night? I guess the date will last until morning light if coffee is involved.

“How about you come with me to the blind date, Seren?” Serenity shook her head. “No, thanks.” “Oh, Seren. Please say yes. You’re my girlfriend, my best friend! You always look out for me. You’d do anything for your best friend, right?” “I don’t always look out for you. You can find someone else to do anything for you.” Jasmine coaxed her. “I’ll buy you supper after the date.” “I have money. I can buy my own supper. Thank you very much.” Serenity did not want to join her best friend on her blind date. What if Jasmine’s blind date fancied Serenity instead?

Stories like this were not unheard of. A woman went on a blind date, accompanied by her sister-in-law. In the end, the woman was furious as the date was attracted to the sister-in-law instead. The incident practically ruined the woman’s relationship with her sister – in-law. Serenity and Jasmine were best friends who talked just about everything, but there were certain boundaries that could not be crossed.

It was a different story when she went with Jasmine to a dinner party. There were successful professionals with high standards for their other halves at the event. Serenity could be herself, knowing she would not be good enough for these social elites.

“Seren.” At the sound of a familiar voice, the pair turned their heads toward the shop entrance.

Putting aside her knitting, Serenity got up and approached the person with a smile, “Why are you here, Nana?” “I want to have a chat with you. I went to your house, but Zack said you weren’t home, so I came here instead.” Grandma May looked at Serenity lovingly as she entered the shop and remarked, “You told me before that you don’t have to open for business on weekends.” ; “It’s been a while since I restock items for my online business. I thought of making time out of the weekend to replenish them since I’m running low on inventory.” With her little knit knacks selling well online, Serenity had to keep up with the inventory. Some customers would pre-order, and she would promise to deliver on time. Honoring commitments was important when it came to doing business. “Seren, you’re really good with your hands.” Married At First Sight Chapter 42 Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 42 Grandma May was a recipient of Serenity‘s copper wire handicrafts as well. She displayed the life–like masterpieces in plain sight all over the house. Although the crafts were not worth much, they were her granddaughter–in–law‘s gift from the heart.

Visiting guests who had seen these craftworks were impressed by Serenity‘s creativity. That was when Grandma May came in with a sales pitch, bringing these people to Serenity‘s online store to up her business sales. “Have some water, Grandma May.” Jasmine poured Grandma May a glass of water.

“Thank you, Jas. You‘re here too.” “Sigh. My mom‘s pressuring me to get married, so I came to the shop to enjoy some peace and quiet. She keeps setting me up with guys like I‘m some unsalable product. I‘m supposed to go on a blind date at XX Coffee House tonight, and I‘m begging Seren to come with me.” With a glint flickering in her eyes, Grandma May uttered with a friendly smile, “I can understand where your mom’s coming from. Marriage doesn‘t seem a likely choice for my other grandsons. There‘s no talking sense into them. I can’t even get them on a date.

“Seren, why don’t you go with Jasmine tonight?” Serenity, “…” It was unbelievable that Nana was persuading her to join Jasmine on her date.

“You and Jas are best friends. You can keep Jas company and see if the man‘s a good fit for her. You‘ve been through it before.” Jasmine bobbed her head incessantly. Nana was the best sidekick ever.

“Go with me, Seren. Well, you don‘t have to go along if you can convince my mom to never set me up with blind dates.” Jasmine tried to appeal to Serenity‘s emotions.

With Grandma adding fuel to the fire, Serenity had no choice but to give up for the sake of peace. “Just this once and that‘s it.” “Yay! You‘re the best.” Now that she had gotten a yes from Serenity, Jasmine said thoughtfully, “Grandma May, I‘ll leave you and Seren to chat, I need to shop for some stuff.” .

Serenity and Grandma May could have some nana granddaughter–in–law time.

Once Jasmine was gone, Nana fished out a piece of paper Viaplei and handed it to Serenity.

“What‘s this, Nana? Did you write me a love letter?” Grandma May remarked with a smile, “Cheeky. These are some of Zack‘s habits and hobbies. Have a look. The list should help you to get along with each other. Seren, although you and Zack entered the marriage without love, these feelings can be nurtured. Tear down your walls of defense and get to know each other. I’m sure you‘ll soon find a mutual attraction.” Serenity unfolded the piece of paper for a look while thinking back on the contract Zachary made her sign. Since they were going to divorce six months later, Serenity did not want to waste time bonding with Zachary.

She had been nothing but open to Zachary. It was the latter who kept his guard up against her even though she had been nice. “Zack is a grump when he gets up and a little obsessive with cleanliness. Otherwise, he‘s a pretty good guy.” Since Nana fixed the couple together, it was her hope that Serenity and Zachary would fall for each other and grow old together.

Serenity was dumbstruck. “He‘s a grump in the morning?” “Yeah. Unless his body clock wakes him up, he‘ll rain hell on anyone who disturbs him in his sleep. Even I wouldn‘t dare wake him up.” Reminded by the times she called Zachary in the morning and dug him out of bed, Serenity did not recall him ever being angry.

Was Nana speaking the truth? Perhaps Zachary kept his temper together since they were newlyweds. “Seren, did you… last night…” With Nana blinking, Serenity got the hint. Blushing in the face, she replied, “I‘m a girl, Nana. You can‘t expect me to jump a man.” And it was not some man but Zachary, no less.

Married At First Sight Chapter 43 Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 43 Grandma May said with a smile, “Why can’t you? You’re legally married. Zack isn’t stepping up to the plate. It’s up to you to do so and give me a great-grandchild.” Rosiness crept onto Serenity’s cheeks. “Nana, I’ll be blunt. I just can’t when I stare at your grandson’s straight face.” Nana, “…” Like his grandfather, Zachary was a no-nonsense and detached man by nature. It took Grandma May years before wearing Zachary’s grandfather down when she first laid eyes on him.

“Even if I want to, he’ll freeze me to death before I can get close to him. He gives me the chills.” Nana, “…” “Don’t worry about Zachary and me, Nana. Things will happen naturally.” Serenity saw their living arrangements as roommates.

As if that could ever stop Grandma May from worrying. Since Serenity was Grandma May’s choice for a granddaughter-in-law, Grandma May even went so far as to make the union possible against her son’s and daughter-in-law’s wishes. Grandma May would beat herself up if Serenity was unhappy with the marriage.

“Alright then. I’ll leave you two be, I suppose . Do your thing while I tidy up the place for you.” Grandma May was not one to sit and do nothing at home as she often managed plants with the gardeners. She used to help out with the fields by the estate but stopped under her children’s relentless advice against it. Grandma May even thought of applying to be a cleaner at the family – owned company, but Zachary shot down the suggestion with one threatening look.. It scared the idea out of Grandma May.

It was not the first time Grandma May came to the shop to chat with Serenity. Serenity knew it was hard for Nana to slow down after laboring all her life. It did not take a lot of effort to clean up anyway, so Serenity let Nana be while she focused on her crafts.

While dusting the fluff off the books on the shelves, Grandma suddenly found Serenity to be the most charming when the latter was lost in her work. Pulling out her phone, Grandma May hid behind the shelf and captured a video of Serenity.

She then sent the video to her darling grandson..

Of course, Zachary was not going to reply to his nana.

It did not matter to Grandma May whether Zachary would reply so long as he saw the video. Serenity was an open book, full of surprises at every turn of the page. Now, Grandma May needed to reel her grandson in to start reading the book.

It was easy to lose track of time when one is focused on one thing.

By the time Serenity fulfilled the preorders , it was past six o’clock in the evening.

Jasmine’s date was at half-past seven.

The venue was Beans and Cream, Wiltspoon’s biggest and chicest coffee house in the heart of the city where the owner splurged on getting the place soundproofed. It was an experience to step out of the city’s hubbub and into an elegant setting, and a place to relax without the interruption of life.

Business was good at Beans and Cream as it was a popular spot for many. Even non-coffee drinkers went there to get away from it all.

Jasmine came to pick her best friend up on a bike.

Seeing that Jasmine was on a motorbike , Grandma May asked, “Jas, why don’t you just walk there?” Removing her helmet, Jasmine replied with a grin, “I love the thrill of riding with the wind. The traffic is horrible at this hour, but it won’t affect me.

“Have you eaten, Grandma May? Maybe I should bring you along. You’ve been there, done that. Why don’t you check out the guy for me? My aunt said he works at Stone Group.” Stone Group was the second biggest corporation in Wiltspoon right after the wealthy York Corporation. Both companies were on a higher threshold when it came to hiring talent. In other words, working at these companies was something to brag about.

Grandma May answered with a smile, “Serenity and I had takeout. Callum is coming to pick me up, so I’ll pass on crashing your date. I mean, even at my age, I still got it. What if your date falls for me?” Married At First Sight Chapter 44 Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 44 Jasmine chuckled in amusement, loving Grandma May‘s funny quips . Jasmine had never met Zachary in person but got to know his aloof nature from her best friend. It was a wonder that he was related to Grandma May.

Soon, Callum arrived.

He was here to bring his gallivanting grandmother home. Nana reminded him to drive a cheaper vehicle.

The cheapest car in the house was a BMW used by the housekeeper to get groceries. However, it was worth over a million bucks. Since it was too late to buy one, Callum had to borrow the gardener‘s pickup truck.

“Serenity, I‘m here to take Nana home.” Callum came into the shop and said hello to Serenity. “Drive safe. Nana, please give me a message when you get home,” Serenity urged and gave them the crafts she made today. She gave Callum a copper – wire miniature tree.

Callum was glad to accept the gift as he had grown to admire Serenity‘s work after seeing them around the house. He believed Serenity‘s handicrafts might not be worth a lot, but they were pleasing to the eye. Grandma May and Callum did not stay for long.

Once they were far away, Grandma May asked Callum,“ Where did you get this car?” “It‘s Tom‘s truck to transport fertilizers and pots. I borrowed the car from him. We don‘t want Serenity to be suspicious now, do we?” Since Zachary hid his wealth from Serenity, the whole family had to play along too.

Nevertheless, it was fun.

Callum looked forward to the day Zachary fell head over heels for Serenity. It would be intriguing to find out Serenity‘s response when she realized Zachary had been lying to her.

Fine. Secretly , Callum could not wait to watch Zachary worm his way out of this mess!

“No wonder I thought the car was familiar. So, it belongs to Tom.” Pulling out her phone, Grandma May gave Zachary a call.

The old lady immediately put forth an order the moment Zachary picked up. “Zack, I‘m craving Beans and Cream‘s desserts. Can you get them for me? I love their desserts.” Furrowing his brows, Zachary replied, “You can ask anyone else in the house to run the errand.” Why did he have to make the trip?

“What? Can‘t I ask you? I‘m going to apply to be a cleaner at the office tomorrow if I don’t see Beans and Cream’s desserts on the table later.” Zachary was speechless..

Nana had been acting out since the passing of Gramps, often dressing down as she got out and about. Well, Nana even got him a wife. “Fine, I‘ll go!” Zachary hissed through gritted teeth.

Satisfied, Grandma May hung up the call.

Callum got a word in. “Nana, we could get the desserts on our way back if you want. Zachary doesn‘t have to do it.” Married At First Sight Chapter 45 Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 45 Grandma May had her reasons.

It then hit Callum. He asked with a smile, “Nana, are you putting one over Zachary?” Giving him a side glance, Grandma York murmured, “One more question, and you‘re next.” That shut Callum up.

Although Callum felt sorry for Zachary, it was best he stayed out of it for his own safety. Better Zachary than him.

Grandma May was a child trapped in an adult‘s body. Having found her inner child , Grandma May was on the prowl for setting her grandchildren up.

Meanwhile, Serenity closed the shop and took the helmet from her best friend to put on. She also took the keys and said, “I‘ll do it.” Sitting at the back, Jasmine wrapped her arms around Serenity‘s waist. “If only you‘re a man, Serenity. I‘ll marry you right now, and that would get my mom off my back.” “Hold still! Keep your hands to yourself or I‘ll throw you off the bike.” Serenity warned her best friend before starting the engine.

Although Serenity often passed by Beans and Cream, she had never stopped for a coffee as coffee was not her thing. She preferred rose or chamomile tea.

At Beans and Cream, the guy was already waiting. Perhaps to make an impression , the guy was dressed to the nines in a suit with a red–and–white–striped tie. Holding a bouquet of roses, he waited at the entrance.

Jasmine approached him with Serenity in tow.

“Are you Mr. Bill?” Mr. Bill sized Jasmine and Serenity up, unsure who his date was tonight. He was given a photograph of his date. Mr. Bill did take a quick look and knew that the girl was pretty, but he could not really remember her face. He was told to wait by the door with roses, so Ms. Sox could recognize him.

“Are you Ms. Sox?” “Yes, I am.” Mr. Bill ushered the girls in with a smile. He had booked a table by the window for a nice view of the city.

After taking a seat, Mr. Bill stole a few glances at Serenity. Jasmine mentioned Serenity was married during a quick introduction. It was a shame as Mr. Bill was drawn to Serenity’s graceful charms. For a minute, he thought Serenity was his date.

It turned out Serenity was already taken.

Jasmine only showed up because , for one, she could not take her mom‘s nagging anymore, and two, her aunt set up the date. Jasmine should at least be appreciative of her aunt‘s efforts.

There were no sparks between Jasmine and Mr. Bill. Jasmine was turned off by Mr. Bill as their conversation went on. Working at Stone Group as a manager, Mr. Bill considered himself a successful business elite. Although he was aware that the Soxes were wealthy , he believed they were only successful due to the property market boom.

In fact, Mr. Bill looked down on Jasmine.

Mr. Bill flexed his superiority and even talked about going halves after marriage. Following that point in the conversation , Serenity kicked her best friend under the table to give Jasmine her thumbs–down.

“I need to go to the washroom, Mr. Bill.” Cutting Mr. Bill off from his big talk, Jasmine excused herself and got up to leave.

She gave her aunt a call in the loo to moan about the horrible date before calling her mom as well. Jasmine told her mom that she would venture into nunhood if she had to go on another blind date with Tom, Dick, or Harry.

Mr. Bill acted all that just because he worked at Stone Group. It was not like he was the CEO.

For all she knew, the CEO was probably not as arrogant either.

Serenity was not a fan of Mr. Bill‘s character either. While her best friend was in the loo, she looked out the window and refused to engage in a conversation with Mr. Bill.

It was when Zachary came into the coffee house.

He had the habit of scanning a place wherever he went. It never occurred to him that he would catch his wife having coffee with another man.

Was she cheating on him?

Was she in a hurry to find someone better because she could not get much out of him due to the contract? Perhaps Serenity was not going to sit around and wait to be divorced.

Zachary was about to approach her when Jasmine returned from the loo. Jasmine said something to the man before pulling his wife away to leave.

Married At First Sight Chapter 46 Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 46 “Ms. Sox, don’t leave so soon.” Not done flexing his superiority, Mr. Bill was reluctant to let Jasmine go. “I’m sorry, Mr. Bill. I don’t think we’re a good match. See you never.” Jasmine came clean about her thoughts before dragging Serenity away They strutted on until Serenity came to a sudden stop.

“What’s wrong, Seren?” “My husband.” “What?” Before Jasmine understood the meaning behind Serenity’s words, Zachary had drawn close. His profound eyes were fixated on Serenity as his lips curled into a smirk. Serenity could feel his sarcasm without him saying a word.

What was he being sarcastic about? Serenity got her answer when she turned around and caught sight of Mr. Bill on their tail. Serenity explained, “ I’m only tagging along my friend, Jasmine’s, date.” She was in a rush to find the next sugar daddy.

Zachary remained without a word.

Jasmine got a look at her best friend’s husband at last! The man was a dreamboat!

Afraid Zachary might take it the wrong way, Jasmine tried to clear the air too. Zachary uttered coldly, “Don’t come home late.” Serenity asked, “Alright. Why are you here?” “Nana told me to get desserts. She loves the desserts here.” It dawned on Zachary that Nana was up to no good. Nana told him to get the desserts here, knowing fully that Serenity would be at the same place. Did Nana think he would be jealous to catch Serenity here with another man?

“Oh.” The couple basked in silence after that.

In the end, Serenity broke the silence and said, “Well, I got to go. Come home after you deliver the desserts to Nana. I’ll leave the door unlocked for you.” The married couple then went their separate ways.

Serenity took off on her best friend’s bike while Zachary got the desserts and drove his national MPV away from Beans and Cream. Zachary drove all the way to the Yorks’ estate.

Grandma May was still up and watching TV in the living room.

With the desserts in hand, Zachary took strides over and placed the food on the coffee table. Straightening his back, he callously said, “Nana, we agreed that you won’t interfere with my married life.” “But I didn’t.” The old lady played innocent.

Zachary pointed at the desserts. “You made a specific instruction for me to get the desserts from Beans and Cream so I’d see Serenity having coffee with another man. Nana, I don’t know what jealousy is nor will I ever experience it.” Turning on his heel, Zachary walked out.

Grandma May called him back, “It’s late. Aren’t you going to stay the night?” “My wife left the door unlocked for me,” Zachary replied indifferently The old lady watched him walk away before muttering under her breath, “No idea what jealousy is? Not going to experience it? Well, I won’t bet on it.” Previous Chapter Married At First Sight Chapter 47 Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 47 Serenity had no idea about the interaction between Zachary and Grandma May. It was a surprise running into Zachary at Beans and Cream, but putting two and two together, Serenity figured out why Zachary ended up there.

What was the reason behind Nana‘s actions?

Was it so Zachary would get the wrong idea about her?

It was not as if Serenity was on a blind date. It was Jasmine‘s date. Even if Zachary saw her… Harking back to the scene at the coffee house, Serenity noticed the tension in Zachary‘s face more than ever. Although Serenity tended to be slow at picking up cues, she could tell that Zachary took things the wrong way. Most importantly, Jasmine was at the loo, leaving Serenity with Mr. Bill by herself.

It was a good thing Jasmine emerged from the loo right after. Her timely clarification loosened the tension on his clenched jaw.

Serenity was clueless as to why Nana would do such a thing. She might have saved Nana‘s life, but she expected nothing in return. It was Nana who remained forever grateful and tried to give Serenity the world. By right, Nana would not do anything to hurt her.

Bearing more questions than answers, Serenity returned home and sat on the balcony swing. Without turning on the lights, she quietly observed the night sky.

Zachary only got home at midnight.

Serenity was asleep on the swing by the time he reached home. Oblivious to that, Zachary assumed Serenity was in bed since her bedroom door was closed and the house was in darkness.

Taking a seat on the sofa, Zachary turned on the TV. He rarely watched TV but could use some background noise. He adjusted the volume to the lowest.

He did not want to wake Serenity from her sleep.

Ring, ring, ring…

With his phone ringing, Zachary looked at the incoming call. It was Callum.

“Callum.” “Are you alright, Zack?” Callum‘s concerned voice came through from the other end.

After a pause, Zachary asked him, “You knew Nana set me up?” “Bro! How did Nana set you up? All I knew was Nana telling you to get desserts from Beans and Cream. Nana‘s Chapter 41 324 love for their cakes isn’t something new.” Zachary scoffed. “My wife just so happened to be on a date at Beans and Cream.” “What!” Callum cried in aghast, “Your wife went on a date? Is she cheating on you? You were only married less than a week ago, and our families met yesterday. We even talked about your future wedding during dinner, and now you‘re telling me your wife went on a date?” “She was there to keep her best friend company on a date.” Zachary replied, “… Zack, you could‘ve given it to me straight before I judged Serenity. I knew it. Serenity didn‘t look like the kind to mess around.” “By coincidence, her best friend was in the washroom when I arrived. So, I saw Serenity sitting together with her best friend‘s date.” “Talk about coincidence. Even if Nana summoned you there, it wasn‘t like she could predict when you‘d be there to catch Serenity alone with another man.”.

Zachary fell silent and uttered annoyedly, “Nana bought Beans and Cream not too long ago. She‘s the real owner.” As the head of the household, Zachary had an idea of Nana‘s activities.

“Zack, are you saying that the employees are keeping an eye on Serenity? You happened to arrive when Serenity‘s best friend was in the loo, so you‘d get the impression that Serenity was onto the next guy.” Quick to catch on, Callum did not take long to get the whole thing straight. He responded amid chuckles, “I guess Nana is only anxious for the relationship to work since you and Serenity are married. She‘s trying to get under your skin, so you‘d feel jealous. Were you jealous, Zack?” “I don‘t know what jealousy is!” Callum burst out laughing. “Well, maybe Serenity could teach you that new vocabulary. Nana is really fond of Serenity. Zack, I think you‘ll fall in love with her sooner or later. She might not be able to change her upbringing, but Serenity‘s brilliant in every single way. Her copper – wire handcrafts are amazing and beautiful.” He got a miniature tree from Serenity . Although it was not worth much, Callum absolutely loved it. He decided to take the miniature tree to his office tomorrow as Callum had a nice spot for it on his desk.

Married At First Sight Chapter 48 Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 48 The video sent by Nana suddenly came to Zachary‘s mind. Serenity was breathtaking when she was focused on making her crafts.

Still denying that fact, Zachary watched the video multiple times nonetheless. He was captivated by the charm exuded by a confident woman at work. It was eye catching.

It was said that women with confidence were the prettiest.

All he saw was confidence in Serenity.

She was a strong and independent woman.

“I‘ve never known and will never know what jealousy is… Oh, you‘re up?” Zachary was caught off guard by Serenity‘s sudden presence in the living room as she emerged from the balcony. While still on the line, Callum replied, “I‘m going to bed soon, but I thought of giving you a call before I turn in for the night.” Zachary terminated the call. Callum, “…” The video sent by Nana suddenly came to Zachary’s mind. Serenity was breathtaking when she was focused on making her crafts.

While still on the line, Callum replied, “I‘m going to bed soon, but I thought of giving you a call before I turn in for the night.” Zachary terminated the call.

Callum, “…” “I dozed off on the swing. Your talking woke me up.” Wincing his face, Zachary told her off, “The night breeze can be freezing. Careful not to catch a cold.” “Thank you for your concern.” Serenity yawned. “I‘m off to bed now, Mr. York.” Nothing much was mentioned about tonight.

Zachary watched her retreat to her room without a word.

He was unsure if she overheard his conversation with Callum, and if so, how much of it?

Sigh. Now that there was a wife occupying his space, Zachary felt like he had no privacy anymore.

Well, he found out during the next day‘s breakfast of how much Serenity had heard because there was a dictionary on the table with a page earmarked on the letter J.

Breakfast was avocado and toast.

The couple enjoyed generous servings of avocados and toasts.

They had salad on the side too.

Serenity took out a bottle of dressing from the fridge and added to her toast and salad. She pushed the bottle toward Zachary. “Do you want some? It‘ll add flavor to your food.” “No, thanks.” Zachary turned down the offer.

Serenity put the lid back on and put the bottle of dressing aside. She then grabbed a sheet of paper to read. “I love a good read during breakfast.” Zachary kept quiet.

“I got the ‘Word of the Day‘ printed out. Have a look. It‘s interesting.” Before Zachary had a chance to say anything, Serenity shoved the paper in his face.

She said, “Have a look.” Zachary stared at her and shifted his gaze onto the paper. Lo and behold, the word of the day was – jealousy.

“What do you think?” “Interesting.” Zachary blurted.

“Now that you‘ve seen the word, don‘t go around and say you have no clue of its definition. People would think that you‘re mentally challenged.” Zachary, “…” Married At First Sight Chapter 49 Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 4 Serenity finished her breakfast and cleaned up in the kitchen before telling Zachary, “I’m going out. Don’t forget to lock the door on your way out.” Zachary glanced at her before turning his attention back to his toast.

“That reminds me. Can I take some of the fruits to my sister’s?” She bought too much fruit the other day for the family event and they would be left to rot in the fridge since she and Zachary could not finish everything in time.

Zachary answered , “Your sister is family. You can take whatever you want without asking me. You’re free to make decisions over household affairs unless it’s a matter that requires a discussion between us.” “We’re not that close, and I’m living in your house. I think it’s respectful to you as a husband to ask.

“I’m not the type to hog all the good stuff for my own family. I bought a little too much fruit the other day and I think they’ll go to waste since we can’t eat that much. At least now my sister can have some before they turn bad.” “Sure,” Zachary responded. Seeing that Zachary had no issue with that, Serenity packed two bags of fruit and brought them to her sister.

Liberty said to Serenity, “You don’t have to bring gifts when you visit. I have money to get things.” “It’s only Zachary and me at home. I might eat some, but Zachary doesn’t like fruit. It’s a waste to leave it to rot. He told me to give them to you. He said you’re family.” Serenity had never seen Zachary munching on fruit.

Zachary often worked late and holed up in his room when he was back. She only saw him in the mornings. It did not appear that Zachary had grabbed any snacks from the house.

Serenity suspected that Zachary would eat out like before if she did not make him breakfast. He probably had never drank from the tap at home.

At that point, Liberty accepted the bags of fruit.

Serenity played with her nephew for a while before heading to the shop.

With Serenity gone, Zachary threw the toasts and the paper with the Word of the Day into the trash. The toast was delicious at first, but the wheat contained too much carbs for his liking Together with the leftover breakfast, the Word of the Day also chucked away.

He said it before, and he would say it again! He would never know the meaning of jealousy! Zachary took out the trash with him in case Serenity saw the paper and breakfast in the bin. The bodyguards were waiting for him downstairs. Since Serenity had already left the building, they did not have to worry about the missus seeing them here. With Mr. Zachary coming downstairs with a trash bag, the bodyguards were stunned. In all the years they had been by Mr. Zachary’s side, the bodyguards saw Mr. Zachary as a speckless God. Zachary put the trash in the dumpster before walking to his car. Since the bodyguards were not keeping up with him, he turned his head around and asked, “Are you under a freezing spell? What are you standing there for?” Snapping out of their thoughts, the bodyguards kept up with his pace. A bodyguard was in charge of driving the national MPV to York Corporation every day. Zachary would then drive the vehicle back home from work.

Half an hour later.

A red Ferrari stood out by forcefully blocking Zachary’s convoy entering York Corporation.

The owner of the sports car was a lady in red. With long, wavy hair curtaining her back, the woman had an exquisite face and her neck was complemented with a diamond necklace. She also wore a diamond bracelet and matching diamond earrings. She was shining bright like a diamond for sure.

The girl got out of her car and approached the Rolls Royce to knock on the window.

Zachary wound down his car window. “Elisa Stone! You have two minutes to move your car!” Married At First Sight Chapter 50 Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 50 Zachary threatened the lady coldly. The apple of the Stones‘ eye, Elisa was the princess of Stone Group‘s chairman and the twin sister of the CEO, Clive Stone. Elisa was the most eligible bachelorette.

“Hang on, Zachary.“.

Struck by a thought, Elisa turned around and ran back to the sports car to grab a huge bouquet of roses.

She returned with the bouquet and shoved it through Zachary‘s open window while saying, “These are for you, Zachary. I know you and my brother don‘t get along, but I love you. I feel the need to confess my love to you, so you know I‘m your one true love.” Stone Group and York Corporation might be sworn enemies, but they were certainly business rivals due to clashing trades. Both groups were not on the best of terms, to say the least.

Yet, it was love at first sight for Clive‘s sister, Elisa, when she first laid her eyes on Zachary at an event many years ago. Due to the conflict of interest between both giants, Clive and her parents disapproved of Elisa‘s new–found love.

Although Elisa was pampered all her life, it did not mean she was foolish. She thought about giving up on Zachary, but the passing of years failed to wipe him out of her mind. As a matter of fact, she found it harder to resist Zachary.

Elisa was really into Zachary‘s aloofness. He was cool in her eyes. Seeing that Zachary kept away from young women, Elisa took it as a challenge to win his heart. Since she could not get Zachary out of her head, Elisa decided to disregard her family and boldly confess her love to Zachary.

From today on, she, Elisa Stone, would openly go in pursuit of Zachary!

Zachary gave a black look.

Grabbing the bouquet, Zachary hurled it far and away.

He then wound the window up and callously instructed the driver, “Drive!” “Zachary! Zachary! I love you! I want your heart!” Elisa shouted as she pounded on the car window. Zachary‘s driver started the engine and asked, “Sir, what about Ms. Stone‘s car?” “Hit it!” The driver did not floor the pedal, but one of Zachary‘s escorting vehicles raced ahead instead and smashed Elisa‘s million–dollar Ferrari out of the way.

Bang!

The security guards on duty watched with their jaws dropped.

With Elisa‘s car out of the way, Zachary‘s Rolls Royce entered the company‘s private parking lot.

Elisa was dumbfounded as she stared at the damage made to her new sports car. By the time she came to and ran after Zachary, the security guards had closed the gates.

“Zachary!” Elisa shouted out loud, “You have to get me a new car since you crashed mine. You owe me one. I‘ll bug you every day till you get me a new car.” It pained her that her car was wrecked. However, on second thought, Elisa could use this as an excuse to pester Zachary. Elisa believed the crash presented her with opportunities. Anyway, she had made her stance clear to Zachary that she was seeking his hand!

No matter the outcome, she would have no regrets about going through with her decision.

Nevertheless, Elisa had to admit that Zachary’s stunt to smash her car was bad*ss. Of course, it would have been better if it was not her car.

The security guard was amazed by Ms. Stone’s courage. Not only did she come to York Corporation to kick up a fuss, but she also professed her love for Mr. York. That was definitely some nerves of steel!
