Chapter 1526
Married at First Sight
Zacharyâs cell phone started ringing.
Before Zachary looked at his phone, he told Josh, âIt must be my wife calling. She may want to pick me up from the company after work.â
Josh pouted. âHey, I am doing pretty well myself. Heck, Iâm even having my wedding before you. You donât have to show off your love and affection, it doesnât provoke me at allâ
With a wide grin on his face, Zachary replied, âIâm not showing off Thatâs just how my wife and I get along every day.â
It was either Zachary picking Serenity up or the other way round It became the coupleâs daily routine.
The moment Zachary took out his phone and realized that it was Remy calling, his ever-handsome face twitched Zachary thought it was Serenity who called. He did not expect it to be Remy With eyes as sharp as a hawk, Josh saw that it was Remyâs name on Zacharyâs screen.
Josh busted out laughing.
As Zachary gave him a mean glare, Josh turned away and continued his gleeful laughter Despite the humiliating circumstance, Zachary answered Remyâs call âMr. York.â
Zachary responded with a grunt.
Remy could sense the annoyance in Zacharyâs voice. With a smile on his face, he apologetically said, â
Sorry to interrupt you from your meals.â
âI havenât taken my meal yet.â
Zachary responded, without dropping the low voice.
âWhat do you need me for, Mr. Johnson?â
It must have been unrelated to official business.
Remy would follow the standard procedure and go through the secretary first if it was official business By dialing Zacharyâs personal number, it would most probably be a private matter.
If Remy had private issues that could trouble Zachary, it must be related to Elisa.
âOh, itâs nothing urgent. Itâs just that I have some free time tonight, as I donât have any social activities to attend. Since you havenât eaten, I thought of inviting you to dinner. What say you?â
With a deep voice, Zachary said, âSad to say, I have to socialize tonight. I canât make it. Itâs better to make an appointment with me in advance if you want to invite me for dinner next time.â
Disappointed, Remy chuckled. âThatâs unfortunate. When will you be free then, Mr. York? Letâs have dinner togetherâ
âAre you by chance planning to return to Annenburg, Mr Johnson? Iâm going to bring my wife there for a trip next week. Maybe you could invite us for dinner then if you decide to return.â
Remy thought for a while and replied, âIâm not planning to return to Annenburg for now. Are you visiting Annenburg next week, Mr. York? Iâll inform my brother so heâll be there to welcome you when you arrive Zachary said politely, âSorry for troubling the both of you.â
He aimed to take Serenity on a leisurely trip to relax. In hopes of building a friendship for Serenity and Jane, he also planned to give Ben and Jane a visit.
âItâs no trouble at all, reallyâ
Remy smiled and added, âIâll leave you to it then, Mr. York. Iâll inform my brother so he can make preparations.â
Jane was due to give birth in July. However, she was pregnant with twins, which might result in an early delivery in June.
It was already April and Jane had rarely left her house. Ben did not run the company to the fullest of his abilities, as he was always by his wifeâs side, awaiting the arrival of his two children.
Right after ending his conversation with Remy, Zachary heard a question from his friend.
âYouâre taking your wife on vacation next week?â
âAlright, this is the plan. Seren will be too worried to leave while Liberty is still in the hospital. The good news is, Seren will be in the mood for a trip once Liberty is discharged next week.â
Zachary was busy with work on recent nights, trying to tie up loose ends-only then could he take some time off to accompany his wife on a trip as a diversion, all to relieve Serenityâs stress and to keep her from worrying about infertility.
âI wonât be working next week.â
Josh reminded his friend. He feared that the matters of the company would be relegated to him while Zachary went on a trip with his wife.
Zachary glanced at Josh and said with a chuckle, âDonât worry, it wouldnât affect your wedding. My wife and I will be back before your big day. After all, we are good friends with both of you, not to mention we were your matchmakers. We wouldnât miss your wedding for the world.â
