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.”

    “Time flies. It feels as if Jane has just gotten married, but her children can already walk.”Elisa smiled. “You’re right. Time does pass in the blink of an eye. Some people may think that other people’s children grow up really quickly. However, when it comes to their own children, they’ll feel as if their kids are taking their time to grow older.”She saw her nephew daily, yet she felt like he was growing very slowly.To other people, Xavier was growing fast. It was more difficult to notice subtle changes in a child one met every day, while other people could point out the differences right away. “It feels like I just became friends with Serenity, but in reality, many years have passed since then. She has become a wife and a mother. I’m also dating you now and will be your wife and a mother soon.”Elisa sighed. Three years ago, she was smitten with Zachary and insisted on marrying him.

They’re welcome to eat here any time. Don’t worry about them going hungry.“Remy and Elisa will be having their wedding soon, right?”Back then, Elisa said her two best friends were pregnant and that it would not be a good idea for them to attend her wedding. Therefore, the couple got engaged and waited for Jasmine and Serenity to give birth. Finally, the two pregnant women had given birth. Jasmine’s son was already over a month old.

    Jane knew Grandma May’s necklace was expensive at just a glance. She quickly refused, saying, “You’ve already given Chloe a lot of jewelry, Grandma May. They’re more than enough.”It was a necklace Grandma May often wore. Jane noticed Grandma May would always have that necklace on whenever she saw her.“Since Clo-clo likes it, I’ll give it to her. I have many other necklaces anyway.”Grandma May smiled. “You don’t have to worry that I might run out of jewelry from giving it out too frequently.”“Of course, not. You won’t run out of jewelry, but this necklace is too precious. Clo-clo is still young and won’t be wearing any jewelry just yet. You can keep it and give it out a few years later if Serenity happens to bear your future great-granddaughter.”That necklace was gifted to Grandma May by her husband. She liked it a lot and wore it often.Not only was it expensive, but it also represented the love of her partner.It was a meaningful necklace.“Okay. Since Clo-clo won’t take

    Jane whispered to Serenity, “Zachary’s a natural at coaxing children. It hasn’t been a few days since he became a father, yet he’s better at it than Ben.”Serenity’s gaze softened as she looked toward her husband and son. She said, “Zachary made time to learn how to look after babies and read books before I even gave birth.“I didn’t read much during my pregnancy. On the other hand, he read a lot and told me he would take care of the baby and that I didn’t have to worry about anything.”Serenity said affectionately, “I’m so lucky to be his wife, Jane.”Zachary was too good.In another life, she would want to get married to him again. She wanted them to be husband and wife for many lifetimes.Jane smiled. “You’re truly one lucky girl. Heath might be hungry. You can feed him first. I’ll take my children down to their dad.”Zachary often pestered Ben back when he was dating Serenity. He wanted to learn from Ben how to treat his beloved wife well. Fast forward, he was doing better
