Chapter 930
Married at First Sight
Elisa continued to eat. Seemingly, she was indifferent toward Zacharyâs arrival.
At that moment, her motherâs eyes were fixed on her. She looked up and said to her mother, âMom, why are you staring at me? Your nephewâinâlaw is here, not your sonâin -law. Your sonâinâlaw isnât found yet, so you still need to support me for several more years.â
âIf you donât want to get married, I can support you forever.â
âPlease. Iâm 27 this year. If I round it up, Iâll already be 30. My concern is that youâre not worried about it. You might act like Jasmineâs mother where you canât wait to kick me out of the house if thereâs a man pursuing me.â
That was how Mrs. Sox treated Jasmine.
Of course, Josh was outstanding and had a glib tongue. He managed to persuade the Soxes to take his side. The Soxes nearly made Josh marry Jasmine.
âMom, since youâre keen on meeting your nephewâinâlaw, hurry up and let him in. Now that weâve just started eating, you can ask him to join us. If youâre not, then Iâll drive him away. If heâs willing to acknowledge me as his cousinâinâlaw, Iâll speak up for him.â
Serenity and Mrs. Stone were speechless.
At last, Serenity was the one going out.
As it was Zacharyâs first time entering the Stonesâ house, he kept a low profile. He only brought Jim along rather than a group of bodyguards.
While waiting, he got out of the car and stood at the gate of the villa.
After a maid went in to inform the Stones, none of them came out. Even so, he did not show a trace of annoyance.
Jim and the chauffeur stood behind Zachary, helping him to hold the gifts he had bought.
Zachary had loathed the Stones, given that they were competitors. They had turned against each other for many years. Now that they became relatives all of a sudden, Zachary and Clive found it hard to acceptâthey had to tread carefully while trying to leave no stone unturned for their business.
In the past, Zachary might be seen as cruel as he set a clear boundary between kinship and business.
Many people came to realize that Zacharyâs relationship with Stone Group had softened ever since he took the initiative to expose his true identity to his belove wife.
He continued to vie for more businesses but he was not as domineering as he use to be. At least, he gave Stone Group the chance to take a breather.
Nevertheless, when Stone Group tried to take advantage of him, it did not manage. do so at all.
Anyhow, even though the relationship between the two corporations had becom subtle, they remained locked in a stalemate with no compromise made.
No matter how much Zachary disliked the Stones, Serenity was Mrs. Stoneâs niec after all. Zachary personally paid Serenity a visit for her sake.
The moment Serenity came out, Zacharyâs gaze turned gentle, and his handsom face gradually relaxed. As Serenity walked closer to him, he broke into a warm smi âSeren.â
âWhat brings you here?â
Zachary said, âSince you were reunited with your aunt, Iâve never come for a visi Since Iâm available at noon, I thought of coming over. I didnât expect you to be he either.â
He would not admit that Serenityâs movement was within his supervision.
He did not restrict her freedom, but at the same time, he was afraid she would secretly leave Wiltspoon. Thus, she kept an eye on Serenity furtively.
Deep down, Serenity understood his intention, but she did not expose it. If she di she would have a row with him again.
