Chapter 729
Married at First Sight
After leaving the office, Zachary got into Joshâs car.
Josh said to him, âI get that you donât want to take your luxury car, but why arenât you driving the MPV that you specially bought to deceive your wife?â
Zachary said while fastening his seat belt. âIf I go with you, my wife wonât have to worry about me being unemployed.â
âYou, unemployed? Why is Serenity worried that youâll be unemployed?â
Josh almost laughed out loud.
Serenity was not worried about anything but Zachary losing his job. If Zachary did not take charge of York Corporation, all eight of his younger brothers would cry to death. He could take on the burden of nine of them by himself.
âShe didnât say it, but sheâs starting to feel sorry for my wallet and told me not to spend money carelessly. If Iâm seen with you frequently, sheâll think that Iâm licking your boots, so she wonât have to worry anymore.â
Josh said, âShe doesnât know that sheâs actually the real boss, huh?â
At the mention of Serenity, Zacharyâs eyes turned tender. He agreed with what Josh said.
Ring ring ringâ¦
âMy wife is calling.â
Josh tactfully turned down the music in the car when he heard this.
âSeren.â
Zacharyâs tone was still serious when he answered the phone, but only those who knew him well could tell that he spoke gentler than usual.
âZachary, have you eaten yet?â
âAre you asking me out for dinner?â Zachary asked instinctively. However, when he recalled that Serenity ditched him to eat with Jasmine, he added bitterly, âOh, right. You invited Ms. Sox to dinner and didnât want me to follow, so how could you call to invite me?â.
âTsk tsk⦠Are you jealous again? Jasmine is my best friend, but you still want to compare yourself to her. Youâre my husband whom Iâll spend the rest of my life with, so you two are in different positions.
Thereâs no need to compare.â
âYou have a business engagement tonight, right? Donât drink too much. You should eat something before drinking. If you need me to pick you up, just send me a message.â
Zachary, who was still jealous of Jasmine, felt much better. No matter how important Jasmine was to Serenity, she would not be spending the rest of her life with her. He was the person who would spend the rest of his life with Serenity.
Serenity was right. There was really no need to compare himself with Jasmine. Otherwise, he would get jealous every day. Moreover, Serenity would not cut off ties with Jasmine just because he was jealous of her.
âIâm accompanying Mr. Bucham to have dinner with a client, so I wonât drink much.â
Serenity added a few more words and hung up the phone.
âMarried men are really different. When itâs time for dinner, someone will call to ask if youâve eaten.
Sheâs always thinking about you and even worries that youâll get drunk when youâre at a business engagement.â
Zachary put his phone back into his pants pocket and said calmly, âThatâs why I like to be controlled by my wife.â
Josh was speechless.
In fact, Serenity did not control Zachary at all.
Zachary always described her as a strict wife, but he was just trying to show off his relationship in front of his friend.
During dinner, Serenity and Jasmine ordered a lot of dishes. How would Serenity feel when she saw her husband walk in while her mouth was stuffed with delicious food?
Serenity thought, âHe knows that Iâm a big eater, so I donât feel embarrassed.â
It did not matter if Zachary saw her. She was spending her own money, so she could eat whatever and as much as she wanted.
âSeren.â
Zachary pretended to meet her by chance and walked over first. However, Josh and Duncan did not follow him immediately.
âMr. York,â Jasmine greeted Zachary.
When she saw Josh not far away, she smiled at him as well.
âWhy are you here?â
