Chapter 127
Married at First Sight
A lot of people were taking a stroll in the neighborhood. Most of them were parents bringing their children out for walks while others included young couples holding hands intimately.
Despite seeing how affectionate other couples were, Serenity and Zachary just walked side by side, without taking the initiative to extend their hand to the other.
However , many people turned to look at them because they were a good-looking couple.
Finally, Serenity stopped by a childrenâs playground and said to the man beside her, âLetâs sit here to watch the kids play.â
Serenity liked children.
She loved her nephew, Sonny.
Zachary did not speak and followed her silently to sit on a stone bench.
âIf Sonny was here, heâd definitely have a good time.â
Zachary hummed in response.
Serenity tilted her head to look at him. Zachary felt weird that she was looking at him like that, so he asked her defensively, âWhy are you looking at me like this?â
âYou look exquisitely handsome, so I thought of soothing my eyes by taking a good look at you.â
Zachary was rendered speechless.
âMr. York, youâre good-looking and capable, which means you have really good genes. If you have children in the future, theyâll definitely be smart.â
âYou want to have children with me?â
Serenity laughed. âNana kept saying I should just jump your bones so she could have a great-
granddaughter.â
Hearing this, Zachary quietly moved his butt to pull away from Serenity.
Serenity did not notice this subtle movement and continued, âI know you donât have feelings for me. I donât have feelings for you either, so weâre just a couple without any foundation of love. Even if I were to jump you, it wouldnât feel right as we donât share any emotional attachment. Itâll be more like hiring a gigolo. All thatâs left is to pay you for your service.â
Zactiary was at a loss for words.
âWe wonât have children. Let Nana urge Callum and the rest,â she added.
âWould they not have children?â Zachary pondered.
He tell uncomfortable when he heard what Serenity had to say about having kids, but he did not refute her and pursed his lips.
âMr. York, do you suspect that Iâm a conniving woman?â
âCan you be any more direct?â Zachary thought sarcastically and remained silent.
âActually, I did have a motive in marrying you, Mr. York. Itâs because you have a house. If I marry you, I can move in and live with you for free. That way, I can save on rent.â
âI know.â
That was why he did not have a good first impression of her. Zachary married her reluctantly because of his Nana.
âYou knew?â Serenity tilted her head to look at him again with admiration in her eyes. âYouâre really smart, Mr. York. Your eyes are so sharp that it makes me feel like you can read my thoughts when you look at me like that.â
Zachary looked at her and said, âI canât read your thoughts, so I donât know why youâre talking about this now.â
âThereâs no reason for it. I just thought that we donât talk very often. You wonât take the initiative to chat either, so I have to find a common topic to talk about to reduce the awkwardness.â
