Chapter 610
Married at First Sight
âDonât worry, Ms. Hunt. Take your time with breakfast. Your sister just called me and said. that she sent Sonny to the store. Ms. Sox is already there. She told us to head directly to the store later. Thereâs no need to drop by her new place.â
4 Serenity sighed in relief and sat down at the dining table.
Mrs. Lane prepared sandwiches for her today with all kinds of fillings, as well as a pot of black coffee.
Black coffeeâ¦
Serenity took out her phone and photographed the pot of coffee, then sent it to the petty man.
Unsurprisingly, Zachary did not reply to her.
Serenity grumbled.
âAre the sandwiches not good, Ms. Hunt?â
Mrs. Lane heard Serenity grumble and thought the sandwiches she made were lousy. She asked, âWhat kind of sandwiches do you fancy? Tell me and Iâll make them for you tomorrow.â
âIâm not a picky eater, Mrs. Lane. I like all kinds of sandwiches.
âYou sit down too. Letâs talk while we eat.â
With Zachary not at home, Mrs. Lane was a lot more comfortable.
Although Zachary acted gentle in front of Serenity, he was a prestigious person. Mrs. Lane did not feel at ease dining at the same table as him.
âMrs. Lane, youâve been a nanny for Zacharyâs ninth cousin for a few years and have known Zachary for several years, right? Do you think heâs overbearing and self-centered? He demands that other people donât hide anything from him.â
Mrs. Lane was taking a sip of oatmeal. After listening to Serenity, she looked up and asked with concern, âMs. Hunt, why are you asking that?â
Serenity sipped the coffee and said, âI think I quarreled with Zachary last night. It seems weâre in a cold war again.â
Mrs. Lane was speechless.
It had just been one night, but here they were having another squabble, and a cold war at that.
âWhy did you quarrel with Mr. York?â
Recently, Zachary and Serenity were obviously getting along very well. The couple slept in the same room, and Grandma May saw the coupleâs feelings heating up and seemed to have stabilized, so she packed up her luggage and moved back to the old residence.
It was also to avoid the Stone family.
âIt was just before going to bed. I sent him a message, he called, and we chatted for a while. I was sleepy and he was still busy, so I quickly ended the call because I didnât want to disturb him. I didnât tell him about my sisterâs fight with her ex-in-laws.
âMaybe Mr. Lewis called him and mentioned that incident, so he quickly called me to question me, asking why I didnât tell him about that incident. He even said that I donât treat him like family.â
Serenity took another sip of coffee âWhere did you buy this coffee, Mrs. Lane? Itâs so bitter.â
This would suit that petty manâs taste.
âSay, heâs on a business trip and not at home. I didnât tell him because I didnât want him to worry for no reason. He couldnât come back to help us anyway. Besides, we can solve things on our own. We canât always wait for him to return to handle everything, right?
âJust because I didnât mention my sisterâs incident, he said that I donât treat him as family. In that case, he doesnât treat me as his family either. Since the beginning of our marriage, he held his guard up against me, questioning me and thinking that I had married him because I wanted his money. He thought I wanted his house so I didnât have to rent a place after marrying him.â
Mrs. Lane was speechless.
âHe even made me sign an agreement where nine out of the ten conditions were restrictions on me, but I endured it. We got married out of convenience, so he was cautious about me and suspected me. He made me sign a contract saying that we would divorce peacefully within six months if we donât develop feelings for each other.
âI agreed to every single one of his terms, but then he accidentally destroyed my agreement and played dumb, saying that I remembered wrongly and he never asked me to sign any agreement. Fine, I played along since he wanted to go back on his words, but has he been completely honest with me as well?
âMrs. Lane, even you know where his home is, right? But I donât. Iâve been married to him for so long, but although Iâve met his family, I donât even know where my in-laws live.â
