Married at First Sight Chapter 1073
“Sonny... Sonny is still a child. Besides, his custody was given to Liberty. Hank only needs to pay three thousand a month for child support, which will end when Sonny turns eighteen. Hank won’t need to pay if Sonny wants to buy a house or car in the future. He has no way of fighting for the family assets.”“People’s hearts change. The only way you’ll be sure that he won’t compete with your son for the family fortune is if he’s dead.”“But I don’t have a son… I don’t even have a daughter.”“Can’t you give birth to one?”Jessica choked.The other party laughed. “It seems that you’re just slightly morally reprehensible, but you still have humanity in you. I just told you about my plan. I didn’t say anything about killing Sonny.“I want to use Sonny to lure Serenity over. She has a good relationship with her nephew, so I believe she’ll be willing to come and see me alone.”What she wanted was for Serenity to meet her alone.Jessica sighed in relief.She only had the ability to st

However, being busy for a period of time in exchange for peace of mind for the rest of her life was worth it.“It’s been hard on you, Seren.”Zachary kissed her forehead, distressed at how much she was going through because of him.“I asked for it. If I learn well, it’ll serve me for the rest of my life.”Serenity yawned again.She got up early in the morning, so she was sleepy now.“You have to go back to the office in the afternoon too. Your time is much more valuable than ours.”He lost more by sacrificing half his day for her sister’s sake.How would he be willing to make such a sacrifice if he did not love her deeply?Serenity looked at Zachary and reached out to touch his handsome face. Her eyes were filled with emotion. “Babe, how did I manage to marry you? Don’t worry, since you’ve entrusted me with your life, I’ll never let you down. I’ll treat you well for the rest of your life.“My sister is always nagging me to treat you better. It’s as if she’s afraid that I’ll a

Serenity returned to the bookstore at 2:50 pm.Zachary personally sent her to the store.“I have a social function tonight,” Zachary said somberly when Serenity got out of the car.Serenity looked at him and instinctively asked, “What time will you leave the office? Don’t drink too much, and definitely don’t drink on an empty stomach. It’ll hurt your tummy.”“I took medicine for three days. My stomach will be fine.”Serenity said, “Even if your stomach is fine, you still have to take care of it. I’ll send you some food before you leave work. Eat a little before going, but still, don’t drink too much. It’s best if you can forgo drinking altogether.”“Okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll wait for you to send food to me before leaving.”Zachary’s dark eyes burned as he looked at Serenity.Serenity instantly understood what he wanted and turned back to kiss his face. Then, she pinched his cheek. Just as Zachary was about to strike, she slipped out of the car swiftly so he could not catch

That was why business on her online store improved.“I finished the plan and just discussed it with Jasmine. Have a look.”Elisa took out the plan she spent the night making from her bag and handed it to Serenity to read. “I’m also a rookie, but there are three of us. Three heads are better than one. Let’s work hard and make money together.“Stop that for now, Seren. Don’t work while you’re reading, or you might hurt your hand again.”Elisa took Serenity to the hospital the last time the latter hurt her hand. Her legs had gone weak when she saw the blood. The fearless Ms. Stone was afraid of blood.“That time was an accident.”Serenity did not admit that she was injured because of Zachary, but she still stopped weaving the craft and took the plan made by Elisa. She read it carefully and discussed it with her two friends from time to time.“I haven’t shown this plan to Clive yet. I figured we have to experience it ourselves. We can’t rely on others for everything.”“I think the

Serenity thought about Zachary and herself. It seemed like she rarely coaxed him.When she saw how easily Josh became elated when Jasmine coaxed him, she thought, ‘I’ll buy Zachary a gift when I bring dinner to him later. I’m sure it’ll make him happy.’“Jasmine, what are we eating tonight?” Serenity asked.Jasmine said, “Liberty treated us to lunch earlier, so I didn’t buy any groceries. What do you want to eat? I’ll buy it now.”“You have dinner plans, and I have to send dinner to my husband too. His stomach is unwell, but he has a dinner party. I’m worried his stomach will hurt more if he drinks on an empty stomach. You guys chat. I’ll buy some food and come back.”Jasmine and Elisa hummed.After Serenity left, Elisa said enviously, “I envy Seren. It’s not easy for Zachary and her to become an ordinary couple. Zachary is arrogant, but Seren can make him break his character for her.”“When Mr. York came over in the past, he was like an ice sculpture. The students become timid

“We’re also relieved after hearing that it’s Zachary taking care of you at home. I was really worried that you’d be too timid and take care of all the household chores, then end up living like how Liberty was in the past.”Serenity paused her movement before continuing, “I learned from my sister’s experience. I won’t live a life like hers.”“It’s good to stay aware at all times. I’ve seen many people who lose sight of themselves when they’re in love.”Elisa’s phone rang as soon as she finished. It was from the only friend she had before she met Serenity. She answered the call and said, “Seren, my best friend just broke up. I’m going to go see her.”“Okay. Drive slowly.”“I’ll arrange for someone to go to your hometown to talk to the village chief about contracting the fields tomorrow. I’ll also help find out what those relatives of yours are up to these days.”“Sure.”Jasmine and Serenity let Elisa take the lead for the investment project. With Elisa’s background, she grew up in

“Do you own this parking space? Is your car the only one that can park here?”Serenity also had a problem with Carrie, so she did not budge an inch.She did not have a good impression of Carrie at all.Carrie choked and said loudly, “This is the front of Camryn’s store. I’m her sister, so I naturally should be able to park here.”“Oh, so you’re also fully aware that Ms. Camryn is your sister? What did you do to your sister on the night of the Dowling family’s banquet?”Carrie was spoiled by her parents and was used to bullying Camryn for fun. She said righteously, “That mole rat is just for me to make fun of!”Serenity really wanted to teach her a lesson.How could there be a sister like that?No, she should say that it was Mr. and Mrs. Newman who did not educate their daughter well.Camryn was not born blind. She became blind because of a serious illness she contracted when she was sixteen. However, Mrs. Newman was cruel and did not care about her, and Mr. Newman was so busy

“Carrie Newman!”Camryn, who was manning the store inside, heard the argument at the entrance and slowly walked out with her white cane.Serenity looked at her and saw that she was the same as that night. She wore large black sunglasses so that her eyes were hidden, and her stunning face was still as expressionless as that night.“What are you screaming at?”Camryn was totally familiar with her own territory. When she heard the sound of two people quarreling, she determined their positions and walked up to Serenity, asking warmly, “Are you Mrs. York?”“What Mrs. York? That’s just a hillbilly. Don’t bother flattering her, mole rat. Just you wait. A country bumpkin like her will be chased out of the York family soon. I don’t believe that Mr. York actually likes a country bumpkin like her.Carrie hated it when others called Serenity Mrs. York. She did not dare go after Zachary because of his cold nature, but she was ambitious and wanted to marry into the York family too.There were

Lilian often messed with the medicinal herbs her master cultivated, which led to her being chased and scolded by him.It seemed her son had inherited her restless nature.“How’s Sonny been lately?”Liberty had been on edge these past few days because Caroline had been preparing to lure her three brothers into a trap and had not had time to call her son.“Same as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.”Serenity added, “Sonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesn’t seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesn’t like going to the Browns’ place, and he doesn’t want to take their calls either.“Hank’s mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why he’s upset with them.”During the holidays, Sonny had stayed with the Browns for a few days and started to warm up to them.However, who would have thought that the mother and daughter would start spouting nonsense in f

Once the baby was born, he would apply the knowledge he had learned over the past few months to care for the baby. He was determined to be a competent and responsible father.Serenity released her arms from around him and shifted to her side.Zachary let go, too, allowing her to turn.Then, she planted countless gentle kisses on his face.“Babe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Don’t worry too much,” Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.“You are my rock. If even you are nervous, I’ll start feeling anxious too, and that won’t be good.”Hearing this, Zachary immediately said, “Seren, don’t worry. I’ll protect both of you. Alright, I won’t be so nervous anymore.”He gently touched her rounded belly again. “Lil’ Bun should be a calm kid. He’s not that mischievous.”He felt that the baby’s movements were not too intense.Serenity wanted to tell him that there were times when the baby kicked more vigorously, but she decided against it, knowing it would only m

“Just hit the gym a few more times. Lately, you’ve been spending less time there.”Every day after work, he would come home and orbit around her. As a result, he had less time to work out.It was normal to gain a few pounds eating well and exercising less. Did he really think he could eat anything without gaining weight?The reason he could maintain a model-like physique before was that he exercised daily.“Ow.” Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, “Is it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Let’s go to the hospital right away.”He was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.“Don’t be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. It’s not happening so soon. It’s just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.”As she entered the later stages of pregnancy, the little one inside her was growing stronger. Sometimes, a couple of kicks from the baby could actually hurt.

Zachary, afraid that his wife might refuse to spend time with him at his office in the future, emphasized that he was not busy today.He had already cleared his morning schedule because he needed to accompany his beloved wife for her prenatal checkup.His secretary was well aware of Serenity’s checkup dates. Whenever he saw Serenity turn up at the office with his boss, his secretary would quietly adjust his schedule.Sometimes, on the day of the Serenity’s checkup, his secretary would not schedule any appointments for Zachary at all.Even if appointments were scheduled, Zachary would request they be canceled or rescheduled.Now, in Zachary’s eyes, his wife’s matters were the most important.With Alex now able to share the workload, Zachary felt that he, as the eldest of his generation who had shouldered the bulk of the burden for so many years, deserved a break.Plus, there was the elite team the company had trained; if not now, then when would they be put to use?Everyone was

Tony turned around and left.Only after hearing the door close did Carrie dare to open her eyes.She had woken up while Tony and his son were on the phone, but she did not dare move, fearing that Tony might suspect her of eavesdropping.Just now, when that old lecher stood by the bed looking at her, there was definitely a murderous glint in his eyes. She could feel it.Sooner or later, he would kill her.Carrie was filled with panic. She wanted to escape but was afraid she would not succeed. No one was there to help her.For a moment, Carrie even considered running to Camryn to confess everything, but she quickly dismissed the thought. The reason she ended up in this situation was entirely due to Camryn.She and Camryn were sworn enemies. Their conflict would not end until one of them was dead. However, even if she died, she would drag Camryn down with her.-Meanwhile, in the CEO's office at York Corporation, Zachary, seated at his desk, kept glancing up at his pregnant wife.

“You should have gotten rid of them all back then and cultivated a network of people loyal only to you.” Manny felt that his father should not have spared those people in the first place.Tony said, “There were too many of them, all relatives and friends with the same goal as us. We couldn’t eliminate them all at once.”Back then, he had incited everyone to join him in wiping out the entire main family, sparing neither the elderly nor the children.It was because they were all from the collateral branches, jealous of the main family’s long-standing control, and shared a common goal that his conspiracy succeeded.He had also spent over a decade waiting for the right opportunity.Who would have thought that even after wiping out the main family, he still could not obtain the family seal, token, or totem? Without these, he could not become the true head of the family and could only act as a proxy. Many of the connections loyal to the head remained inaccessible.Moreover, much of the

It was his father. Manny composed himself and picked up Tony’s call as he walked toward his car.“Hey, Pops.”“How’s it going, Manny? Has there been any progress?”Tony was still in Carrie’s room at the moment, but had gotten up and walked to the balcony to call his son.Carrie was still fast asleep, though her face was set in a frown. She was obviously discomfited.Tony had pestered her for the majority of last night, so it would be weird if she did not feel any discomfort.Despite her begging, Tony would not let her go. He even forcefully drugged her to make her mess around with him while out of it. He was simply an old pervert.Before she passed out, she cursed him in her heart. However, she knew that Tony only treated her so roughly because she was just his mistress—a tool for him to vent his frustrations on.If she really was his wife, he definitely would not treat her like this.In the past, she had ambitions of taking Mrs. Longbottom’s place and becoming the real missus

Tati also finished her plate of pastries.She followed Isabella out.“Isa, you’re always so busy and exhausted. If you’re feeling even a little unwell, you should have a good rest. Stay home for the day. I can handle the work you have on hand. It’s the same either way.”Tati wanted Isabella to take the day off so Isabella could spend some time with Austin and nurture their relationship.However, Isabella still declined Tati’s kind offer.She said, “Not today. There’s an important meeting today, and I have two important clients to meet. I’m fine, really. Don’t worry. From now on, I won’t touch alcohol.”Given her current status and position, no one would dare to force her to drink during social engagements.Many people also knew that Isabella would not drink outside her home, fearing that she might fall victim to someone’s schemes.However, Isabella would occasionally make an exception. When she was in a good mood, she would have a couple of drinks.Hearing this, Tati stopped t

Austin still smiled gently and said, “It’s all thanks to Ms. Isabella’s guidance.”He felt that he had indeed improved a lot.Grandma May really understood him well. The wife she picked for him could actually help improve his culinary skills.“After eating the sweets, I feel much better.” Tati picked up another piece of pastry and ate it.Austin quietly retreated, not wanting to disturb their conversation and also to avoid overhearing their private matters.“Just ignore him. Are you really going to skip work because of him?”Isabella added calmly to Tati, “If you let him provoke you, he’ll only cling to you even more. If you act like he doesn’t exist and don’t respond no matter what he does, he’ll naturally give up once he sees that you’re completely unresponsive.”Tati said, “I’m afraid that he’ll go and bother Edith and Eleanor if he doesn’t get anywhere with me. They don’t have the same resolve as we do.”She, therefore, decided to bear the brunt of it.“Every time I see hi
