Chapter 461
Married at First Sight
Serenity and Liberty were unaware of the rare occasion that Mr. Brown sided with Sonny.
Sonnyâs swollen face subsided slightly after applying the ice pack.
He kept crying and wanting to go home.
Serenity asked the doctor if they could leave, and the doctor said he could be discharged from the hospital. However, they had to be careful because Sonny might get a fever at night.
In the evening, Zachary and his brothers sent Liberty and Sonny home.
Serenity was still worried about Sonny, so she brought Zachary to the balcony and said, âCan I stay over with my sister and nephew tonight?â
Zachary was reluctant to part with Serenity as he started to have feelings for her and wanted to cling to her 24/7 if he could.
However, Serenity was Sonnyâs aunt, so he understood that she would want to stay back with Sonny at this time.
âZachary?â
Serenity saw his deep eyes that were staring straight at hers. His thin lips were pressed into at straight line, and he did not speak. Thus, she asked carefully, âYou donât want me to stay? But the doctor said Sonny might have a fever tonight, and Iâm worried that my sister will be too tired taking care of him alone.â
Zacharyâs big hand reached out and touched her face.
His touch was gentle as he stroked her face. It felt like a gentle spring breeze that made Serenity want to close her eyes and slowly enjoy this rare tenderness.
âYou should also take care of yourself too while taking care of Sonny.â
Zachary finally spoke.
His voice was as deep as usual, but it was a little less cold and more affectionate.
âI will.â
âLet me know if anything happens. Donât leave me out of it.â Zachary always recalled the time when Serenity fought Noah Hunt and the gang by herself. She was brave and subdued the gangsters, leaving him no chance to play the hero who saved the damsel in distress.
Serenity smiled. She glanced at the living room and hugged Zacharyâs lean waist when she saw the York brothers were not looking at them.
She leaned her head against his chest.
Zachary hugged his wife back tightly.
He liked the feeling of her in his arms.
Holding her soft body like that made him feel particularly happy.
Josh asked Zachary if he was in love with Serenity.
Zachary thought, âMaybe Iâm already in love with herâ¦â
âThank you, Zachary.â
Zachary was by her side every time Serenity encountered difficulties. He helped her and comforted her.
To her, he was like an invincible superman.
Several times, Serenity was moved by Zacharyâs actions. That feeling gradually turned into affection.
Zachary sighed and thought, âJosh said that feeling touched is not the same as love.â
However, it was how love was formed.
âSerenity, weâre husband and wife, so your business is also mine. Donât keep thanking me because itâll make me feel like an outsider.â
Serenity said while she nestled in his arms, âBut we signed a halfâyear agreement. Who knows how long our marriage will last?â
Zachary was speechless.
âZachary, can I tell you something?â
âWhat is it?â
âThe drawing you threw away⦠I just remembered that that was our agreement on the flip side. I didnât really care about the agreement and left it on my dresser. Then I used it to sketch my ideas⦠But you destroyed it.â
Zacharyâs dark eyes flickered.
She remembered that the flip side of the drawing was their agreement.
So what if she remembered?
He already burned both agreements to ashes and flushed them down the toilet.
âSince you ruined my copy of the agreement, are you going to give me a new copy or will you destroy yours as well?â
That way, she would feel less insecure about the whole thing.
