Married at First Sight Chapter 1224
Seeing that Jasmine took her time to respond to Josh, Mrs. Lowe said to Mrs. Sox, “Why isn’t Jasmine saying anything? Josh is such a good man. She won’t find another man like him. I wish I could say yes on her behalf.” Shawn uttered, “She shouldn’t answer too quickly. She needs time to consider. It will seem like Jas is too eager if she gives an answer too soon.” Jasmine was happy to give her hand in marriage. No longer playing it coy, she reached out to take the roses from Josh and loudly responded, “Yes, Josh. I’ll marry you.” Josh was overjoyed. He pulled out the engagement ring and took Jasmine’s hand to put the ring on her finger. Jasmine pulled him up. Josh put his arms around her, lowered his gaze to meet hers, and kissed her lips. A thundering applause broke out. Jasmine closed her eyes and indulged in the brief mingle of hot breaths before opening her eyes. She beamed as Josh held her. “When did you start planning this?” she whispered while resting in his arm

“Let’s go inside. You must have dinner with us tonight,” Mr. Sox said to his future son-in-law. For Josh to propose to his daughter before everybody, Mr. Sox was pleased with his future son-in-law. Unlike Mrs. Sox who took to Josh immediately, Mr. Sox needed some warming up. Despite Mr. Sox’s approval of Josh, the man kept a stoic face and remained courteous to Josh. “I will stick around for dinner even if you don’t invite me,” Josh brazenly commented. He said hello to Mrs. Lowe and nodded with a smile at Shawn. “Call your father, Shawn. Tell your dad to join us for dinner here after work.” Mrs. Lowe happily informed her son to call her husband over. Dinner together would be pleasant. She had always hoped her niece would find a rich husband. To make it happen, Mrs. Lowe had been playing the matchmaker. It was a pity her niece was not too keen about it. Jasmine went so far as to lie prostrate on the floor at a banquet to stop her chances of marrying up. Since then, Mrs. Lowe

Josh’s statement made Jasmine blush. The guy just could not wait. “Alright. We’ll have the engagement party, then the visit to city hall, and finally the wedding.” Josh respected Jasmine’s wishes and only wanted the best for her. Doing things in the right order would make the Soxes happy. The engagement party was bound to be a huge event since Josh was a man of position. The attendees were the movers and shakers of Wiltspoon’s higher society.Josh gave a call to his parents and told them that he proposed to Jasmine. Of course, Jasmine said yes. He asked his parents if they were free to come over and discuss the wedding details with his future parents-in-law. Delighted by the news, Mrs. Bucham replied, “I’m busy right now, but nothing comes before my son’s marriage. Alright, I’ll ask your dad and uncle to prepare the gift and head over to your in-laws’.” “Thank you, Mom.” Mrs. Bucham answered with a smile, “Don’t mention it. I’m happy for you. Josh, be nice to Jasmine.

Jasmine said, “You must introduce to me the girl who wins Julian’s heart. I’m curious as to the type of woman who can tame Julian.” Josh drew close to her ear and kissed her cheek before uttering in a raspy voice, “You’re now part of the Bucham family. We will be the first to know when Julian finds a girl.” Jasmine gave him a nudge. “The elders are around.” Yet, he kissed her. Sure, Jasmine was bold. However, she was shy to engage in any sort of intimacy in the presence of elders. “The closer we are, the happier they get.” Jasmine took a quick look at the oldies. They were going back and forth on the date of the engagement party to pay attention to the couple. “Let’s go for a stroll,” Jasmine suggested. Josh was more than happy to oblige. “Mom, Josh and I are going to take a walk.” Jasmine told her mom before dragging Josh out the door. The floral display at the gate shimmered under the night sky. Josh had installed colorful fairy lights along the roses. Once the

Unable to stand the wait, Serenity gave Zachary a call. The phone was ringing, but Zachary did not pick up. “Is he really jealous?” she mumbled to herself as she gave up calling him.She placed her phone on the cash register and sat in silence for a while before taking out her crafting tools. She might as well pick up on crafting since she had nothing to do. Serenity was only getting to it when a bouquet of flowers appeared before her eyes. Lifting her chin, Serenity met a pair of beady eyes. “You… Why didn’t you pick up your phone? You could’ve at least answered your text message.” Dropping the crafting, Serenity took the bouquet and groaned. Zachary looked deeply into her eyes and replied, “I’m here now, so I didn’t take the call. I was busy during the day so I could get off work early today.” Seeing that she had finished a miniature tree, he picked up the copper wire product for a look. “Didn’t you hire people? Don’t tire yourself out. You need to watch your hands
Married at First Sight Chapter 1229
Zachary’s scorching lips could touch Serenity’s cheek if she cocked her head back. Putting down the flowers, Serenity stripped his arms from around her, stood up, and turned around to meet him face-to-face. “I asked. Shawn came back because his mother wasn’t feeling well. He took two days off and combined with the weekend, he had four days to visit his mom.“He thought about dropping in to see Jas since he was passing by the bookshop. He didn’t come for me.“Jas told me that Shawn called her before coming to see if I was at the shop. He only came when he was sure I was not there. I ran into him when he was about to leave. We didn’t talk for more than five minutes.“Harry and Milo were outside watching. You know your bodyguards will be on your side if anything does happen.” Serenity helplessly pinched his face. “Oh, you. You’re always jealous. I told you that I see Shawn as a younger brother. I don’t have that kind of feeling for him.” Taking her pinching hand, Zachary leaned

Zachary asked. “We need to deliver some poultry to my sister, so we should leave now.” Her sister might be asleep if they went too late. The last thing they wanted was to wake Liberty up. Serenity closed the shop and got into Zachary’s car while the bodyguards took her car back.During the ride, she asked Zachary, “Any news on the kidnapping at the zoo? Was it not the Newmans?” Zachary took a moment in silence before answering, “The only thing confirmed is that Mr. Newman wasn’t in on it.” “If it wasn’t him, was it Mrs. Newman?” He mentioned nothing about Mrs. Newman. “Josh is still investigating. Nothing is concrete for now, but we have our eyes on Mrs. Newman.” Zachary had believed the prime target was him right from the start. After a series of investigations though, he realized that the mastermind was after Serenity, not him. Since Mrs. Newman and her daughter had a grudge against Serenity, they zeroed in on Mrs. Newman. “Mr. Newman and his wife seem to have a lo

Holding Serenity in his arms, Zachary lovingly uttered, “I can make time once I’m done with the tasks at hand. I’ll take you to visit Ben and his wife. Ben carries his mom’s last name too.” Zachary whispered in Serenity’s ear, “You’re the heroine of a book too, honey. Everybody wants to be you.” Serenity nudged him away. He would always breathe hot air into her ear along with his whispers. The sensation stirred activity in her loins and tempted her to jump him. The couple returned to the home at Brynfield after delivering the eggs and poultry to Liberty. Mrs. Lane was home. She brought over the couple’s pets. She had been looking after the animals, and now she was back at Brynfield. The moment the door was opened, Snowball came running wagging its tail. Serenity was startled. At a closer look, she squatted and stroked Snowball’s head. She said to Zachary, “How did Snowball get so big?” Zachary was not keen on little animals. He only allowed pets at home because he loved

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

Austin replied, “Both Mr. Louis and Mr. Phillip woke up very early, especially Mr. Phillip. He gets up earlier than Mr. Louis every morning. It’s really hard on him, getting up so early in such cold weather.”Sometimes, he himself felt like staying in bed a little longer, reluctant to leave the warm comfort of his blankets.Even after the New Year, Satbury remained quite cold. In contrast, over in Wiltspoon, the temperatures had begun to reach a high of over seventy degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime, with nighttime lows around fifty degrees.The two provinces and cities were simply incomparable. The temperatures in Wiltspoon were just so very comfortable for Satbury locals.Isabella smiled and said, “Phillip is just afraid he’ll get here too late and that you’ll assume he’s not coming over for breakfast, then not prepare any for him. He's such a little foodie.”The house was never short of snacks for the little ones. In fact, any goodies were always reserved for them first.Yet,

Even when she attended banquets, she would show up in formal clothing. Isabella did not remember the last time she wore a dress. Perhaps it was when she was in third grade. In fact, she liked wearing pretty princessy dresses when she was young. Her mother had told her that.As Isabella was the first child and extremely adorable, Delphine had dolled her up like a princess. Her pretty dresses filled the closet. Her parents, aunts, uncles, and relatives would always gift her many beautiful dresses. As she grew up, perhaps when she was in fourth grade, she stopped wearing dresses. Regardless of who gave her new pieces, she would refuse to wear them and give them to her cousins instead. After everyone realized she disliked dresses, they gradually stopped giving her them. Delphine had asked Isabella why she disliked wearing dresses. Isabella reasoned that she could not walk quickly enough while wearing one. She valued speed and efficiency. Delphine said she had alway

While the private chefs Ms. Isabella had hired in the past were respectful, they were leaning toward flattery instead of sincere dedication, like how Austin was toward Ms. Isabella.Dominic was experienced. He could sense that Ms. Isabella treated Austin differently. She was also a special existence to Austin. It was normal for young people to be attracted to each other. Initially, Dominic wanted to advise Austin not to even think about dating Ms. Isabella. However, upon discovering that Austin was a young master of a wealthy family, he decided not to interfere. Dominic was glad that he did nothing.Austin returned to the house. Instead of heading straight to the kitchen, he went upstairs. He stopped outside of Isabella’s room and knocked on the door lightly. No response came from within the room. Perhaps Austin was too soft when he knocked. He knocked on the door again with more force and asked, “Are you up yet, Ms. Isabella? It’s time to have breakfast.”Isabella w

Austin was extremely patient with the boys. Although they occasionally caused trouble, most of them were minor issues. They would never do something they were not allowed to do.After breakfast, Austin brought them their bags. With a boy in each hand, he left the house. It was to prevent the boys from saying he was playing favorites. Dominic was used to that scene. Initially, Austin was simply Ms. Isabella’s private chef. However, he gradually took on more responsibilities.He would take the two young masters to school. If he had time in the evening, he would also fetch them from school. Austin also made sure Louis and Phillip did their homework, supervised their hobby classes, and played with them. Sometimes, he would even teach them martial arts and train with them. Dominic felt Austin was an all-rounder. It seemed like there was nothing Austin could not do. No wonder Ms. Isabella thought highly of Austin. However, Austin was a young master of a wealthy family. He w

Louis and Phillip were downstairs having the breakfast Austin had prepared for them. The food was different every morning, and everything was delicious.Having gotten used to Austin’s cooking, Louis and Phillip could no longer stand the food provided in the school. They thought the food there was terrible. Louis was enrolled in an elementary school not far from home. As he was a first grader, he did not need to stay in the dormitories and could have his lunch and dinner at home. Phillip, who was a year younger than him, was still in preschool. He would have breakfast and dinner at home. Actually, the preschool did provide breakfast, but Phillip refused to eat in school and insisted on having breakfast at home. In order to eat the breakfast Austin made, he would get up early in the morning without the adults waking him. After putting on his clothes and washing up, he would head to Louis’s place with his bag. “Austin.”Louis suddenly asked, “Did my sister come back last n

Isabella had always thought Tati was teasing her. Therefore, she did not take her words seriously. She thought it was completely normal for Austin to treat her well as she was his boss. From Austin’s perspective, she was his source of income. Now that Isabella pondered about it deeper, she realized perhaps Austin did come to Satbury for her. It was not just to be her chef. He always said Grandma May only gave the York lads a year to pursue their fiancées. However, Austin had never left since he started working for Isabella. Even if he did, it was to accompany her on business trips. He was busy feeding and taking care of her every day and had never gone to pursue his so-called fiancée. He did not even try to gather information on her. Was he not anxious?A year would go by pretty quickly. Although it felt like it had not been long since Austin started working for Isabella, three months had passed. Time really flew. Three months had gone by in the blink of an eye. Neve
