Chapter 128
Married at First Sight
Chapter 128 Zachary was speechless again. He had no idea what he should talk with her about.
The young couples around them were newlyweds and behaving intimately , interlocking their fingers as they walked together. The couples with children were focused on their kids, so they had more things to talk about; unlike them, who had neither feelings nor children.
It was an onerous task for them to chat.
Seeing that Zachary was at a loss for words again, Serenity smiled and stood up, before pulling him up too.â Letâs go back so you wonât feel uncomfortable, wondering if Iâll jump you at any moment.â
âSerenity, youâre a girl!â
âSo what if Iâm a girl? Iâm just sayingâ¦â
Serenity pulled him away, but she only pulled on his sleeve without touching his hand for fear he might wash his hands a hundred times when he got home. âDidnât you see the trending story two days ago? It was about Ms. Stone and Mr. York. Ms. Stone really likes him, so she confessed to him and wooed him openly. Men will pursue the women they like, and women will do the same because everyoneâs in pursuit of true love.
âI admire Ms. Stone for that. She had indirectly helped me. Although she doesnât know who I am, Iâll silently pray for her and wish her the best of luck in pursuing her true love. I hope she succeeds and gets to marry Mr. York. Sheâs pursuing Mr. York rather aggressively now. Once sheâs with him, Iâm certain Mr. York will spoil her silly.â
Elisa unknowingly suppressed the âungrateful granddaughter âtrending story and reduced the impact the tweet had on Serenity and Liberty. Thus, Serenity had a good impression of Elisa.
Moreover, Elisaâs bold character made Serenity admire her even more.
When Zachary heard what his wife just said, he almost rolled his eyes. He thought silently, âIf you find out that Mr. York is your husband, will you still say such a thing?â
âMr. York doesnât like Ms. Stone,â Zachary explained himself, lest Serenity tried to pair him and Elisa up. âApart from falling in love at first sight, most people wonât feel that theyâll fall in love with their other half. Love is about pursuing each other and slowly getting to know one another. Once they grow closer, mutual admiration and feelings will surely develop gradually. âFeelings need to be cultivated. Mr. York and Ms. Stone are a good match for each other since theyâre from the same social class. If the two of them can get together, theyâll certainly be a match made in heaven!â
âI work in York Corporation. I know that our boss always brings his bodyguards everywhere and wonât allow young women to approach him. He doesnât like young women. Besides, our company and the Stone Group arenât exactly on good terms, so how could our boss be with Ms. Stone?â
After marriage, Serenity had never asked about Zacharyâs position in his company and how much he was earning monthly. After all, they were just husband and wife by law and might not last long, so why bother?
Of course, if Zachary raised the subject about his job, Serenity would gladly gossip about what kind of person his boss was.
âHave you met your boss? You share the same last name as him, so itâs easy for others to mistake you as your bossâs relative.â
Serenity smiled and added, âJasmine suspected youâre related to that particular Mr. York several times, but I told her that she has read too many novels for her to mix up fiction with reality. The female lead always ends up marrying a billionaire at first sight.
âEvery man must be a billionaire if it was that easy to marry one!
Zachary murmured in his heart, âMs. Sox has a good eyeâ¦â
Jasmine was no doubt from a rich family. To ordinary people, the Soxes were rich and were considered a local tycoon. They could earn hundreds of thousands a month by collecting rent monthly. It was only because the Soxes had such a background that Aunt Rachel could marry into an affluent family.
Zachary made a mental note that if he were to attend a dinner party again, he would have to steer clear of the Soxes and the Lowes as he did not want them to expose his identity to Serenity.
He was the head of the Yorks who were the richest family in Wiltspoon, and he wanted to reveal his true identity to Serenity himself without anyone else getting in way.
âOur boss is very busy. Itâs hard for me to see him unless itâs for a meeting. After all, Iâm not in the top management of the company. Even if I were to attend a meeting, Iâll be seated at the end of the table.
My eyesight isnât great either, so I canât see his face clearly.â
