Chapter 1117
Married at First Sight
Together with the other ladies, Mrs. Stone stood at the entrance of the Jeffersonsâ residence and
watched as the familiar Rolls Royce drove away.
âMrs. Stone, Mr. York is really good to your niece. Weâre only halfway into the party, and heâs here to
take your niece home.â
Mrs. Stone replied with a smile, âZachary is good to Seren, so good that us oldies are jealous too.â
One of the ladies next to Mrs. Stone probed, âWhen are Mr. York and your niece planning for a
wedding? Itâll be nice for us to join the celebration.â
Mrs. Stone curled her lips and remarked, âMy older niece, my husband, and I went to Wildridge Manor
two days ago. We were there to discuss the wedding. We got a date pick in early fall, so itâs a few
months till the wedding. Donât worry. You are all invited. Donât forget to bring a gift.â
The ladies replied with smiles, âOf course.â
It was an honor to be invited by the York family. No one would pass up on rubbing shoulders with the
Yorks.
In fact, many wanted to ask about Serenityâs relationship with Tania. Since Serenity always attended
events with Mrs. Stone, was it because the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not get along or
something else?
Still, the consequences of Mrs. Walkerâs unwanted opinion shut these ladies up from asking any
questions despite their curiosity.
It was huge news from Mrs. Stone about the soon-to-be wedding bells. It was certain that Serenity
would not be dropped as Mrs. York-she would become the lady of the entire York household.
These ladies had daughters. They needed to remind their daughters not to let things turn sour with
Serenity at any social events even if they could not be best friends; likewise for those with daughters-
in-law.
The interaction among the women was to get the latest news for their husbands and to befriend those
useful to them.
Serenity could imagine the chatter about her early leave from the event. Nevertheless, there was no
point crying over spilled milk. She did not need to care what others thought of her.
Once in the car, she said, âYou came at nine. The party was only halfway through.â
Zachary gave her a burning look and replied, âI didnât look at the time. I just felt you had been away for
a long time, so I came to pick you up.â
As if Serenity would believe him.
âDid you have enough to eat?â Zachary suddenly asked.
He knew she was a foodie. Apart from learning to socialize and make friends, Serenity attended social
functions to try out all the gourmets in the world.
Zachary was brought back to when they first got married. Serenity attended a party with Jasmine at
Wiltspoon Hotel and both of them stuffed their faces in a corner. Serenity did not join the bustle when
he made his grand entrance.
However, Serenity returned home to gossip to him about him.
Serenity suspected that he was impotent or swung the other way. Despite his mixed emotions, Zachary
could not defend himself.
âI could have more.â
Lowering her head, Serenity took a whiff of the floral scent and asked, âDid you go to Spring
Blossoms? Do you think Camryn is really blind or faking it?â
âI didnât personally go there. I sent someone to buy them for me.â
Zachary was honest with his answer. âCallum should be the one going there. As her future brother-in-
law, I should minimize my interaction with her.â
Tilting her head, Serenity looked at him and uttered amusedly, âItâs not like Iâll be jealous.â
âI know. I canât seem to get you jealous.â
There was sulkiness in Zacharyâs tone.
He often got jealous over her whereas he could not spark jealousy in her.
Although the couple had reconciled and made progress in their relationship, Zachary believed Serenity
was not madly in love with him. She had always kept a lucid mind.
