Chapter 1578
Married at First Sight
âAndrew drove your aunt home, and Remy caught Elisa seeing Andrew out. Remy overreacted by seeing Andrew as a potential love rival. He called to get information on Andrew.â
Serenity asked, âDid my aunt hurt her ankle badly?â
âItâs a sprain. Sheâs wrapped up and doing okay. They have a family doctor. Remy mentioned that Mrs.
Stone didnât summon the family doctor, so I guess itâs not a bad sprain. Donât worry too much about it.â
Serenity sent a text message to ask Elisa before giving Aunt Audrey a call. Serenity could only let go of the matter when she was sure it was merely a sprain. Aunt Audrey should be better in a few days.
âRemy seems to care a lot about Elisa. It explains the extreme lengths he goes to.â
Showing understanding, Zachary said, âIn fact, heâs not the only one to act that way. Anyone would be on high alert if their crush interacted with someone of the opposite sex, even if it was just a brief encounter.â
Zachary kept his eye on Shawn back then.
It turned out that Shawn did indeed have feelings for Serenity.
Men were right to trust their guts too.
âI wonât. I never worry or doubt that you would betray me,â Serenity commented with a smile.
With Zachary meeting her eyes, Serenity gave his cheek a squeeze. âYouâre good-looking, but you give the vibes to stay away. You come off aloof to young women too. You might have a lot of admirers, but less than a handful have the guts to profess their feelings to you, much less go after you.
âThatâs why I have nothing to worry about. Hahaha. Zachary, itâs good that you donât give people the time of day. At least, no one will steal you away from me. No one can take you away from me unless you fall for someone else.â
Zachary caught her pinching hand and pulled it to his lips for a kiss. He murmured, âIâm worried that people will take you away from me. One Shawn was enough to make me lose my mind.â
âI think we can both relax. Who would want me after knowing that Iâm your wife? I guess Iâm stuck with you for life. Farewell to all the men in the worldâ¦â
âOh, so you wanted all the men in the world?â asked Zachary eerily.
âThatâs before marrying you. It hasnât crossed my mind since. Youâre enough for me.â
Serenity chuckled before making a run for it.
Zachary immediately gave chase.
He quickly caught her.
As punishment, Zachary pressed his lips against hers for a deep kiss. Afraid they might be seen, Serenity put up a struggle, so Zachary could not have his way with her. In the end, he had to let go of her.
He gently flicked her on the forehead and uttered, âDonât even think about it. You can only be mine in this lifetime. I want to be with you in the next life if that exists.â
âWhat if I am a man in the next life?â
Zachary answered, âI guess itâll be us against the world.â
Serenity had no words.
What a possessive man.
It was not enough for him to have her in this lifetime. He wanted her for himself in the next life too. It did not matter to Zachary she would be of a different gender.
Picking up on Sonnyâs cheerful laughter, Serenity said to her husband, âWe better check on Sonny in the playground. The boy must have quite a blast today.â
âRowan isnât going to spend his day just resting now that he has a day off, so of course he would give Sonny a day to remember.â
Grandma May suggested an island vacation to the youngsters. However, Rowan only had a day off. He would be hitting the books tomorrow. Besides, since Jasmine was visiting her family tomorrow, the Soxes invited Serenity and the others for lunch.
Zachary planned to take his wife to the island tomorrow afternoon just in time for the sunset at the beach. They would watch the sunrise the following day too.
