Chapter 5

Author: Gu Lingfei
With his game face on, Zachary said, “Back to the meeting.”

Sitting nearest to Zachary was his cousin, Callum. Among the cousins within the same age range as Zachary, Callum ranked second.

Callum drew close and whispered, “Zack, I overheard your conversation with Nana. Did you really marry that Ser- girl?”

Zachary shot him a glare.

Scratching his nose, Callum straightened his back and ended the probing.

Even so, Callum had nothing but sympathy for Zachary.

There was no need for the York boys to secure social and financial standing through marriage, but Zack and his new bride were not a match in every single way. Poor Zack. He merely married the girl because Nana took a liking to her.

Once again, Callum offered Zachary his deepest sympathy through his thoughts.

Thank goodness Callum was not the oldest in the family. Otherwise, he would have to step up to the plate and marry Nana’s lifesaver.

Unaware of all that, Serenity got the location details and was busy dragging her suitcase to get to her new home.

She opened the door only to step into a spacious house. The place was bigger and more decked out than her sister’s house.

Putting down her suitcase, Serenity started by looking around the place. This was her home from now on.

It had two living areas, four bedrooms, one kitchen, two bathrooms, and two balconies. Each space was broad and wide. Serenity estimated the entire house to be at least two thousand square feet.

The place was barely furnished as there was only a sofa set with a coffee table, and a wine chiller in the living room. Two out of four bedrooms were equipped with a bed and wardrobe while the other two were empty.

The master bedroom had en-suite facilities, complete with a walk-in closet, study, and bathroom. Despite the divided space, the master bedroom remained huge like the living hall.

This must be Zachary’s space.

Serenity chose to live in the other room with a bed. The sunlight that came from the balcony brightened up the room. There was a room in between the master bedroom and the bedroom Serenity chose. This way, the newlyweds could enjoy their personal space.

Although they were married in the eyes of the law, Serenity would not propose spending time as a married couple unless Zachary asked for it.

After dragging her suitcase to the bedroom, Serenity went into the kitchen.

The kitchen was squeaky clean without kitchenware in sight. Both balconies were also bare but gave a roomy feeling due to the vast space. Serenity intended to spruce up the balcony with some plants and a swing. Nothing beat reading a book and taking in the botanic view on a swing during her free time.

It appeared Zachary was rarely home for dinner.

Now that she was occupying the space, home-cooked meals were a must. Serenity started with the kitchen by purchasing kitchen utensils online. As for plants on the balcony and other furniture, she wanted to get Zachary’s take on it when he got home from work.

It was his house after all while she was simply crashing here.

After placing an order on kitchen tools, Serenity looked at the time and needed to return to the shop.

Picking up the keys, she grabbed her phone and rushed down the stairs.

Serenity made it back to the shop in time for the afterschool rush.

Her best friend, Jasmine, inquired out of concern. “What were you up to in the morning, Seren?”

“My sister and brother-in-law have been in constant argument because of me. I thought about it and decided to move out.” Serenity shrugged. “So I moved out this morning.”

Her best friend’s brother-in-law was something else. Jasmine sighed. “Men love to tell women that they would take care of them, but when it comes down to it, they’re the ones nagging and finding faults. After marriage, we, women, have to put family above all while grinning through misunderstandings. It’s so unfair. I think your sister should find a job! Women must always be financially independent so we have a say in the household.”

While speaking, Jasmine suddenly furrowed her brows and gave Serenity a confused look. “I can’t believe your sister let you move out.”

“I got married.”

“Oh… What? You got married? You don’t even have a boyfriend. Who did you marry?” Jasmine’s mindless nodding was ensued with shock as she stared at Serenity wide-eyed. Her voice went high-pitch too.

Knowing that she could not keep the news from Jasmine, Serenity came clean about the whole thing.

Jasmine glared at Serenity for a while before poking the latter’s forehead. “I don’t know where you find the guts to marry someone you met for the first time. You could’ve stayed with me if you couldn’t find a place. I have extra rooms at my place. You could’ve also picked my cousin if you were looking for a husband.”

  • Married at First Sight   Chapter 4424

    As Zachary was raised by his grandparents, he was not as close to his parents. The people he cared for the most were still his grandparents. Therefore, parents had to interact with their children daily to build a close relationship. “Is Heath easy to take care of? He’s still on formula? Does he miss me?”“Heath’s doing great. We feed him formula at night because Serenity has to rest.”Zachary glanced at the baby in his arms. Heath had fallen asleep after eating his fill.Things were going well after Heath’s birth. He only slept and ate. However, they did not know if he would be that easy to look after until he got older.“Oh. Is Heath asleep or awake now? Can you take a picture for me, Zachary? I started missing him as soon as I got back.”“He’s asleep. I won’t take a picture. You can look at him as much as you want when you’re back in a month. If you like kids this much, you should marry Ms. Doyle and have babies as soon as possible.”However, Dylan would probably regret it

    Dylan said without hesitation, “No need. I don’t want to know her face.”“That won’t do. Apple wants it to be a competition. She wants my man and won’t give up easily. If you don’t know what she looks like, you won’t be able to keep your guard up around her. You might get tricked.“What if you end up in bed with her because of her schemes one day… Will you take responsibility, Dylan?”Dylan was rendered speechless.After a moment, he said resignedly, “Okay. Let me know when we see her. I’ll be on guard and not let her come even ten feet near me. I’ll even learn from Zachary and bring bodyguards daily to prevent calculating women from getting near me.”“There’s no need to exaggerate, but I think you should have bodyguards. Apple is hell-bent on getting you. She might even pounce on you and have sex to make it a sealed deal.“If you have bodyguards, she won’t even have the chance to get near you. That’s safer.“Actually, being six feet away from Apple is enough. However, if you th

    Imogen was not in a rush to check the message. She put the bouquet down and kept the accessories in a box. Only then did she sit on the sofa and read the message Dylan had sent her. She thought he would ask if she had arrived home. It turned out that he had sent a few pictures of a few gift boxes addressed to him instead. The sender, however, was not Imogen but Apple.Dylan did not even know who Apple Pine was. He had run background checks on the wealthy families in Huntington, but never took note of how many elite daughters each family had. Therefore, he did not know Apple was an elite daughter of the Pines. Dylan told Imogen that he had thrown the gifts outside. The house he bought was located in a rich neighborhood. Since the people who could access the area were wealthy, he guessed the sender was an elite daughter and asked Imogen to verify it. His Jen was more knowledgeable about the elite daughters in Huntington high society than he was. Imogen called Dylan. Wh

    “Although she can’t possibly snatch Dylan away from you, you should remain cautious.“Your relationship with Dylan has been ambiguous for some time. It’s time you two get together.”Leticia was worried her future son-in-law would be taken away. Imogen replied, “I know, Mom.”She was not worried that Apple could take Dylan away from her. If that happened, it only meant that she had been blind enough to fall in love with the wrong person.“Serenity gave birth to a son, Mom. She is discharged and has gone home.”Imogen changed the topic and told her mother about Serenity’s good news. Upon hearing her words, Leticia said, “I see. Your dad and I will head to Wiltspoon and pass some gifts to her in a few days.”The Yorks and Doyles had never contacted each other in the past. Now that Dylan was wooing Imogen, the Doyles had gradually accepted him as their son-in-law. Since Serenity’s son was the first of his generation, it was only appropriate for the Doyles to pay a visit with

    “You love Dylan, and he loves you too. Last year, when he said he couldn’t love you, it was because you’d already entered his heart under another identity. The truth is, the person he’s loved from beginning to end has always been you.“He was just momentarily fooled by your disguise. Frankly speaking, he never wronged you. After realizing he couldn’t love you, he returned to Wiltspoon. I don’t think it was to run away, but to clear his mind.“After reflecting, he planned to be honest with you rather than waste your youth. You just went looking for him too quickly, but he was honest with you anyway.“Jen, after all these twists and turns, you two have been the only ones for each other.“Our family isn’t truly angry with him or unwilling to accept him. Your father and I approved of him long ago. Stop putting on airs. Publicly accept his pursuit and become his girlfriend.“Don’t wait until someone else snatches him away. By then, you’ll regret it.”Imogen stubbornly retorted, “Mom,

    Apple was the daughter of the Pines, ranked fifth among Huntington’s wealthiest families. Though not as prominent as the Doyles, the gap was not vast.Apple and Imogen were classmates for two years. Utterly obsessed with pitting herself against Imogen, Apple constantly tried to outshine Imogen, but always fell short, cementing her view of Imogen as her rival.Imogen initially did not pay her any mind, but she kept trying Imogen’s patience. Imogen was not a saint either and had a temper of her own. One day, she finally ran out of patience and retaliated against Apple, solidifying their feud.Now, both were working in their family businesses. Imogen had risen from entry-level to vice president through merit. Meanwhile, Apple, who was less capable, held only a nominal position, which was another loss to Imogen.When Dylan first pursued Imogen, Apple took notice. Though initially unaware of his identity, she had still seethed with envy at his striking looks.Upon learning he was one o
