Married at First Sight Chapter 400
Zachary was silent for a moment before he said, “My parents still have income, and there are a lot of flowers and fruit trees on our family’s farmland. Every year, we make a lot of money by selling flowers and fruits. We’re not filthy rich, but we’re also not poor either.“Even if the elders are retired, they’ll run some small businesses that aren’t so profitable and tiring, but they can pass the time and make their lives feel more fulfilling.“I’ve given my parents money, but they declined. I gave it to them once, but they returned twice as much to me so I can save it for my wife.”Serenity thought of the last time she met her father-in-law. Although he was old, he was a well-kept gentleman who had excellent composure.Her mother-in-law did not really like Serenity but was graceful not to target her. She spoke gently and looked youthful. Serenity felt that outsiders would think they were sisters when they were to walk side by side.Serenity and Zachary had been married for a whil

Serenity returned to her room and closed the door behind her. She leaned against it and touched her burning face. She had no clue why she blushed.Maybe she saw something when she accompanied Liberty to catch Hank and Jessica in the act last night.After standing there for a while, Serenity hurriedly went into the shower because she had to make breakfast for Zachary later.Before that, Serenity suddenly thought of Mrs. Lane and called her. After Mrs. Lane answered the phone, Serenity said, “Mrs. Lane, you can take Sonny to my store later, so you don’t have to rush back.”“Okay.”“How’s my sister?”“She’s acting like she’s okay and says she’s going to work after breakfast. I’m making a cup of coffee for her to boost her energy because she didn’t sleep well last night.”Serenity felt sorry for her sister, but she also knew that it was not appropriate for Liberty to take the day off. After all, Liberty had only just started work a few days ago.“Ask my sister to be careful when

Serenity had no recollection of it at all.She only drank two bottles of beer. Although she fell asleep afterward, she was not considered drunk. How could she vomit if she was not drunk?Did she vomit because she ate too much last night?Serenity was a little skeptical. However, it was just a drawing anyway, and Zachary had no reason to lie to her. Hence, Serenity dropped the subject.She would heed Liberty’s advice and drink less in the future.“Do you want to get it back?”“How can you get it back? Even if you do, it’s all mushed up. It’s okay, I’ll just redraw it.”Zachary said apologetically, “I didn’t know that drawing was so important. I just grabbed it without a second look. Next time, don’t put your drawing on the dresser. It’s too close to the bed.”“Okay.”Serenity thought to herself, ‘Well, this kind of thing can’t happen every day…’She would not drink every day either.“Mr. York, you don’t have to feel sorry. It’s my fault for not putting it away properly. Don’t

Josh was waiting for Zachary at the entrance of the office building.His pearly whites welcomed Zachary.“I thought you weren’t coming to the office today.”Josh followed Zachary inside while the bodyguards stopped at the entrance of the office building.“If I don’t come in and ask you to preside over the meeting, you’ll just complain about how much you must’ve owed me in the past life that you’re enslaved by me now.”“You’re quite self-aware and know that you’ve been enslaving me this whole time, huh?”Zachary turned his head to look at him. “I’m just providing a stage for you to perform. If I didn’t, would you be able to get the attention of your patriarch?”The younger generation of the Bucham family was not inferior to the York family.Josh stood out among the Bucham family’s younger generation mainly because of his capability, his friendship with Zachary, and his position in the top management of York Corporation.He was the most valued nephew of the Bucham family’s patri

Zachary looked at Josh speechlessly.Josh touched his nose embarrassedly and said, “I’m suddenly looking forward to the blind date with Ms. Sox.”“I’ll arrange for you two to meet this Saturday afternoon. You can decide on the location and let me know once you’ve booked the place. Then I’ll get Serenity to inform Ms. Sox.”“That’s the day after tomorrow! Zack, look at me now. Do I look good? Do I have acne on my face? Is my beard too long?”The elevator arrived at the top floor.Zachary waited for the elevator door to open and left without Josh, who was like a peacock ready to spread its train of feathers.Josh hurriedly followed in his footsteps.“Mr. York, Mr. Bucham.”Mr. Chaplin stood up and greeted the two bosses.Both of them nodded in response to Mr. Chaplin’s greeting.After entering Zachary’s office, Zachary pointed to the door of his lounge and said, “I have a mirror in the lounge, so you can go in and take a look in the mirror.”Josh pulled out his chair and sat i

“That's because she needs to get in shape. I told her to run five laps in the small park in front of the office every day before starting work. If she doesn't complete five laps, she can't begin her work. I want her to lose weight in a healthy way, but it won't show results after just one month. That's why I put her on a three-month probation.”Zachary was speechless, again.Duncan was being overly nosy. He hired Liberty for a job, and now he was getting involved in her health matters too."Duncan, cut her probation down to one month. If she successfully completes her probation, give her a salary raise. And if you don't think she deserves it, I'll personally cover the increment every month and give it to you discreetly."Duncan replied, “She’s only a clerk in the finance department, so no matter how much of an increment you give her, it won’t be much. At most, it’ll be a thousand dollars, so what’s the use of that?”Zachary said, “A thousand dollars might be nothing to you, but it

“Is Sonny alright?”Olivia was indeed a little concerned for her grandson after doing something like that and coming home.Her other grandson, having fallen sick this time, had made it so that the whole family could not have peace. Just having a recurring fever alone was enough to worry everyone.Sonny was younger than Lucas by a year. If he had fallen sick too, who knew how much suffering the family would have been put through?“He should be fine, I didn’t go home and didn’t see Sonny. I saw Liberty near the neighborhood going to work like normal.”After a whole night of suffering and having beaten up both him and Jessica, Liberty could actually still go to work like nothing had happened.He was alright. Jessica was still cooped up in the hotel, too scared to leave and meet anybody because the handprint on her face had not faded away. Last night, after Liberty and her sister left, Jessica hugged him and cried for a very long time, saying it was all his fault she had to suffer
Married at First Sight Chapter 407
Hank’s parents saw that their son was adamant about divorcing his wife. He had already done all sorts of things with Jessica before getting caught by Liberty. With Liberty’s character, there was no way she would just take that lying down.Olivia said, “Hank, after you married Liberty, it was all you going to work and earning money. She had no income at all. If you divorce her, you should ask her to pack her clothes and leave immediately after settling the divorce proceedings at City Hall.“Don’t allow her to take anything else.”Since the divorce was set in stone, they would attempt to reduce the losses brought about by it.“Mom, you don’t want me to let her take anything else? That’s not possible. She’ll only leave with nothing if she herself doesn’t want anything. After we married, she didn’t work, but my income will be considered both our shared assets. The moment she initiates the divorce proceedings, I’ll have to give her half.“Although I’ve been paying for the house and the

“A baby’s face changes almost every day. We’ll only know who he takes after when he’s a little older.”Serenity agreed. “I should call Elisa and share this news with her.”Jasmine probably did not have time to tell her friends about her newborn. Serenity also forgot to inform Elisa because she was too worried about Jasmine. Zachary told her to call Elisa only after they were inside the car. There were too many people in the hospital. Serenity held back her excitement and immediately called Elisa when she got in the car. Elisa was extremely busy at the company. She was the only one who could manage their joint company at that moment because Serenity and Jasmine were pregnant. Even if they wanted to return to the company to work, Elisa would not allow them. Rest was of utmost importance for pregnant women. Elisa was unmarried and not pregnant. She did not mind being busier. She only picked up Serenity’s call after some time.“Seren.”Elisa held the phone in her left h

“All that matters is that you’re okay, honey. Let’s not have more children. We’ll just have this one son.”Josh spoke while holding Jasmine’s hand.Women had to experience immense pain when giving birth. It came with many risks as well. Josh had heard other people saying that a woman usually had one foot in the grave during childbirth.He was genuinely shocked after accompanying Jasmine through her labor. He had been terrified and worried that something would happen to Jasmine.Luckily, everything ended well. Jasmine and their son were safe. However, Josh did not want to experience something like that again. Having one child was enough. There was no need for a second or third child. The Buchams were a big family anyway. He did not have to bear the responsibility of expanding the family alone.“Okay. We shall not have another baby.”Although Jasmine was brimming with motherly love and recovery from a vaginal delivery was quicker, she still thought childbirth was too

It was not just Camila. The rest of the people there also had the same thought. Josh and Jasmine had a great relationship. If something happened to Jasmine, Josh would be devastated and lose all hope of living.“Congratulations. The mother has given birth to a boy safely. The baby boy is six pounds and three ounces.”The people who brought Josh out were the anesthetist and nurse.The nurse instinctively reported the good news when she saw the crowd.Then, she explained, “The father probably fainted from shock after the baby was born. Come over and help bring him to the side to rest. The mother won’t be out that quickly.”Upon hearing her words, everyone’s mood brightened up.Camila, whose legs felt weak just now, was immediately filled with strength and stood up. Without Drake's help, she went to the nurse and asked, “Does the baby need to be in the incubator since he was born prematurely?”The nurse replied, “We’ll put the baby in the incubator and observe him for a while. If

Zachary was also worried that Serenity would go into premature labor out of shock. He also persuaded her to go for her checkup in a gentle voice. They could not do anything but wait anyway.Serenity finally decided to conduct her prenatal checkup first. Zachary accompanied her. Just moments after they left, the door to the delivery suite opened. A nurse stood there and shouted, “Is Jasmine Sox’s husband here?”“Yes. I’m her husband,” replied Josh quickly. He dashed to the nurse. “You must save Jas, doctor. Save the mother no matter what.”His family members behind him also echoed, “That’s right. No matter what happens, you have to save Jasmine.”The nurse said, “The mother is fine. It’s just that she wants her husband to accompany her as she’s in a lot of pain.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Josh was about to rush inside but was stopped by the nurse.She asked him to change his clothes before taking him inside the delivery suite.Jasmine was wailing in pain.

With advanced medical technology, a premature baby could still be healthy if taken good care of in the incubator. Serenity said, “Jasmine should be at thirty-five weeks. I just don’t understand why she would suddenly go into labor. Did she fall at home?“Or did she eat something that made her go into labor?”Zachary said, “That’s most likely not the case. Josh’s cousin is Jasmine’s dietician and keeps an eye on her food every day. There’s no way Jasmine would’ve eaten something bad unless she ate it secretly.”Serenity and Zachary suddenly went silent. Pregnant women had weird appetites. Once they had a craving, they could not go unsatisfied. Sometimes, they would even crave fruits that were not in season. Serenity herself was one of them. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night craving mac and cheese. Of course, Zachary, the ever-doting husband, had to satisfy her request. However, where could he find mac and cheese at that hour?Ultimately, he had to drive to the

People would reap what they had sown. They would have to bear the consequences of their actions. Sometimes, interfering in another person’s fate would backfire. After chatting for some time, Serenity said, “I have to go for my checkup now, Liberty. Let’s talk again when you’re free another day.“By the way, I’ll get someone to bring Sonny to you this weekend. He misses you.”“Okay,” said Liberty. After the call ended, Serenity put her phone into her bag and stood up. She told the man behind the office desk, “It’s almost time, babe. Let’s go.”“Okay. I’m almost done.”Zachary quickly signed and stamped a document before closing it. He walked over with the document in hand. Serenity and Zachary left the office together. He handed the document to his secretary. The secretary did not expect him to pass the document to him personally. He had thought of entering Zachary’s office to request it later. The secretary watched Zachary and Serenity leave. He could not believe

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.
