Chapter 228
Married at First Sight
âWhat did Serenity do to keep you from going back to Brynfield?â âNothing.â âZack, I watched you grow up.
In this family, the person who knows you best is me.
If nothing happened between you two, you wouldn't have come back here to stay.
What exactly did Serenity do? Itâs fine even if you donât want to tell me.
I can find out when I go to her shop later and ask her.â Zachary stopped and looked at his grandmother, feeling a little angry.
âNana, we agreed that you won't interfere in anything after I get married to Serenity.â âIâm not interfering.
Iâm just concerned and want to know what happened to you two.
Youâre proud and egotistical, but you pretend to be poor and marry Serenity.
She doesnât know your true identity at all.
Even if youâre wrong, you wonât easily bow your head and apologize.
When it has come to this point, you need me to be the mediator to help you ease your frozen relationship.â Old Mrs. York indeed promised Zachary that she would not interfere in the married coupleâs lives after he married Serenity.
However, she kept an eye on the young coupleâs every move.
She knew everything, from how the young couple forgot about each other in the beginning, to how they got along and how Zachary gradually came to care about Serenity.
She even patted herself on the back, praising herself for her good eyesight.
The young couple had developed as per her expectations, Surprisingly, the couple separated before she could feel SIN about it.
The old lady was anxious.
She was still waiting to hold a great grandchild.
âIt's just a little misunderstanding.
Itâs not a big problem, so you don't have to worry.
You donât need to ask Serenity either.
I'll go back to Brynfield in a few days.â Zachary remained reluctant in telling her the real reason.
After the talk with Josh, Zachary vaguely felt that he had acted out of jealousy.
Josh also said that he was starting to care about Serenity.
However, he refused to admit it and could not put down his ego.
Just because Serenity ate with Shawn, he suspected her of cheating on him, so he felt humiliated.
In reality, they got married in secret, so not many people knew they were husband and wife.
Putting aside whether Serenity and Shawn were innocent, and even if they did Zachary wrong, outsiders were not aware of his relationship with Serenity, so how would he be humiliated? He got angry, questioned Serenity, and only believed what he saw with his own eyes because he developed a desire to control her.
He had a domineering nature.
Once he started to care about a woman, he would not want to see her eating with other men even if her best friend was present.
He wanted Serenity's thoughtfulness and bright smile to belong to him only, but she was not aware of this.
He was stubborn and refused to admit his mistake, so the couple ended up in this situation.
They deleted and blocked each otherâs contacts, lived separately, and were now in a cold war.
âAre you sure thereâs no problem?â âYes.â Old Mrs. York laughed.
âFine, I believe you.
Since you say thereâs no problem, then thereâs no problem.
Even if I go find my granddaughter- in-law, | wonât ask her so as to save you some dignity.â Zacharyâs handsome face was slightly embarrassed, but he said stubbornly in a low voice, âI donât need you to help me save my dignity.â She smiled and patted her grandsonâs shoulder.
âZack, youâre a man, so you must be able to give and take.
Besides, you and Serenity are husband and wife.
You'll be spending the rest of your lives together.
Is there any hurdle out there that is impossible to overcome?â Zachary was silent for a moment before saying, âI signed a six month agreement with Serenity.
If we donât fall in love with each other within these six months, weâll get a divorce.
You donât have to think that she got the short end of the stick.
| didnât touch her, so sheâs still pure.â At most, he would kiss her once or twice when she teased him and he could not stand it.
He only forcefully kissed her once that night.
He just kissed her small mouth, so it would not have much âimpact on her remarriage.
"We got married in secret, So not many people know about it.
The damage to her after the divorce would be minimize¢ too.
Also, I promised to give her the house in Brynfield.
as well as the national MPV.
I won't make her leave without a pennyâ to her name old Mrs. York though, âThis little sh*t!
