Chapter 329
Married at First Sight
Serenity stopped walking.
Zachary too. He looked at her deeply and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âIâll pay for the nanny. Sheâs going to be taking care of Sonny, whoâs my nephew, so I should be the one to pay for it. I canât let you use your money.â
It would cost thousands of dollars to hire a nanny now.
He was already paying for all their living expenses.
Serenity felt like she was taking advantage of him.
Zachary could not help but reach out and pinch her face.â You are always haggling with me. Weâre a family now, so why do you have to split hairs over everything? On the day we got our marriage license, I already said that since I married you, I can afford to support you.
1 1 1 âSonny calls me Uncle, and I like that child very much too, so Iâm willing to pay for a nanny to take care of him.â
L After a pause, he added softly, âMost importantly, I donât want my wife to be so tired.â .
âPardon?â
âI said, Iâll pay for the nanny.â
He was very insistent.
Serenity could not win against him. After thinking about it, she said, âAll right, you can pay for the nanny. Mr. York, do you have any plans this weekend?â âWhy?â
Serenity led the dog and continued to walk forward while asking, âWeâve been married for some time, but I havenât been to your old home before. I figured that if youâre free this weekend, you could take me back to your old home.â
Her inâlaws had seen her, but as a daughterâinâlaw, she had never set foot in her inâlawsâ home. Even now, she did not know where her inâlaws lived.
âNanaâs birthday is in half a month, and all of us will go back on that day. Iâll take you back and introduce you to them then. Youâll be able to meet all our family and friends at once.â
âIs it a landmark birthday?â
âNo, just close relatives invited for a meal together.â
If it were a landmark birthday, the family would definitely throw a birthday banquet for Old Mrs. York and invite all the socialites of Wiltspoon.
It would be hard to deceive Serenity if that was the case.
Since only close relatives were getting together for a dinner to celebrate Nanaâs birthday, arrangements could be made in advance and the truth could be concealed with some instructions from him.
Zacharyâs view of Serenity had changed significantly. He recognized now that Serenity was not in it for his or his grandmotherâs money. After observing her for a period of time, he felt that she had a good character, but had not decided whether or not to spend the rest of his life with her.
Therefore, he would continue to hide his real identity from her.
âThatâs fine. Letâs wait for Nanaâs birthday and go back together then.â
Serenity had no problems with his arrangement.
The young couple strolled two laps around the small garden in the neighborhood before going back.
âDo you want to have supper?â Serenity asked him out of habit.
âNo, thank you.â
He ate a lot when he was socializing.
âForget it, I wonât eat either. Good night, then.â
âGood night.â
Serenity turned around and went into her room.
Zachary stood in place while he watched her enter her room and close the door behind her before he went back to his room.
Once inside, he took the new clothes given to him by Serenity to wash them by hand and dry them with the washing machine. He then hung them out on the balcony.
They should be dry by dawn.
