Married at First Sight Chapter 4573 – “They said they missed their siblings too,” Serenity said. “We’re heading back the day after tomorrow. Your brother Sonny is already back in Wiltspoon, and the Johnson kids will be visiting us next week.”
She wasn’t delaying their return just because her husband had been urging her—Ben and Jane were also planning to bring their children to the York residence.
Everyone in the family was busy, but they still made time to gather and let the kids spend time together. Work could wait when it came to family bonding.
“Is Brother Titus coming too?” Maverick asked eagerly.
Out of all the Johnson children, his favorite was Titus, followed closely by his sister Avah.
“Of course,” Serenity replied with a smile. “He’s Sonny’s best friend. You know we only get to see them during summer and winter breaks.”
Maverick beamed. “Mom, we have to get back soon. I want to learn martial arts from Brother Titus—he’s the best! And he can treat illnesses too.”
At just twelve years old, Titus was already quite skilled. After training for six years, he could handle himself against a group of street punks.
He had also studied medicine under his master and uncle for years and had started prescribing medicine for minor issues. But Titus never overstepped. His masters had drilled into him that treating illnesses required caution. A small mistake could turn into a disaster.
He didn’t want to embarrass his masters—after all, they were both renowned miracle doctors.
Lilian and Tim’s son, Fabian, had also learned some medical theory but didn’t formally study under a master. He wasn’t as interested in medicine as Titus was. Still, knowing some basic theory helped him navigate the world more safely—especially to avoid being tricked or poisoned.
Serenity smiled. “So, would you actually take the medicine Titus gives you?”
“We’re not sick, so we wouldn’t need it,” Maverick replied. “But last time Colton had a sore throat, Brother Titus prescribed something. After taking it, Colton said his throat didn’t hurt anymore.”
That was likely just a case of internal heat.
Titus had given Colton a simple anti-inflammatory and cooling herbal medicine. Nothing fancy, but it worked.
“When was that?” Serenity asked.
“Last year,” Maverick replied after thinking for a moment.
Serenity nodded. “Titus may have studied under two miracle doctors, and six or seven years is a long time—but remember, he’s still just a kid. If you ever feel sick, you need to tell an adult right away and let our family doctor check you out.”
She didn’t fully trust Titus to treat her children, no matter how talented he was. These kids were bold—Titus daring to prescribe, and his cousins daring to take it.
Maverick nodded. He understood.

Ten minutes later, at Yantail Company—
River’s car pulled up directly to the front gate.
Of all the cars at the office, only his could park right at the entrance. Even the other shareholders used the regular lot.
River stepped out of the car in high spirits and strolled into the building.
“Good morning, Mr. York.”
“Morning, sir.”
Every employee he passed greeted him. The receptionists, especially, sounded extra sweet.
Married at First Sight Chapter 4574 – River smiled and nodded back at everyone.
After he passed, the two receptionists whispered to each other.
“Mr. York looks so energetic today,” one of them said, starry-eyed. “Especially handsome. I get to work early every day just to see him a little longer.”
“Seriously,” the other receptionist sighed. “Just seeing him in the morning puts me in a good mood.”
“Right? He’s just so handsome. I wonder who the lucky girl will be—who’s gonna marry our Mr. York?”
“I wish the matchmaker would match me with him,” the first one laughed. “If I could marry Mr. York, I’d wake up smiling every single day.”
Her colleague chuckled. “You and half the women here.”
Most of the female employees in the company had the same daydream.
But unfortunately for them, none of those dreams had come true.
In the six years since River joined Yantail, plenty of women had fallen for him—but none had been given special attention. A few even worked up the courage to confess their feelings, only to be transferred to a branch office the very next day—or mysteriously found themselves out of a job.
That was when everyone realized something: while Mr. York looked friendly and easygoing, he had a sharp, ruthless edge.
How else could he have led Yantail to dominate in Eaglioncile’s competitive business world?
“He’s still way out of our league,” one receptionist sighed.
After fangirling for a few minutes, they came back to reality.
If they wanted to keep their jobs at the head office, they’d better not actually fall in love with the boss.
Admiring him from afar, sure. But getting emotionally involved? That was dangerous.
Still, most of the girls couldn’t help it. The more they saw Mr. York, the more they fell for him. And once they fell, they chased after him with bold confessions—only to get burned.
When no senior staff showed up, the two receptionists glanced at their phones.
Both had received a push notification: a celebrity gossip headline that mentioned none other than Yantail’s President York.
They tapped in immediately.
The article included two photos—River York and Romina Lafond, the vice president of the rival Lafond Group.
In the photos, River was holding a little boy around six or seven years old, and Romina held a one-year-old girl. Their faces weren’t visible—only side profiles.
They walked down the street looking like a picture-perfect family of four, with a nanny and bodyguard trailing behind.
The article speculated that River and Romina were secretly married and that the two kids were their children.
The receptionists stared at each other in shock.
“Do you believe it?” one asked.
“Not a chance,” the other replied. “No way.”
They both shook their heads.
River York was famously single—not even a girlfriend, let alone a wife.
And if he was secretly married, it couldn’t possibly be to Romina Lafond. Everyone knew they were mortal enemies in business.
But still… the way they looked walking together…
And those kids—were they really Mr. York’s?
Their faces weren’t shown, so there was no way to tell.
“No way. Absolutely not. Mr. York and Romina? They’re sworn enemies,” one of them said firmly. “There’s just no way they’re secretly married.”
