Chapter 974
Married at First Sight
Serenity and Zachary had to wait for the Hunts to make a reckless move and commit a crime before they could send them to jail.
âDo they have any vice?â
âThey gamble. Almost all seniors in the town gamble. Itâs their favorite pastime after lunch. I donât know if my uncles gamble, but I guess they probably took up the habit.â
Zacharyâs dark eyes shimmered as a plan formed in his mind. Nevertheless, he kept mum about it and said to Serenity, âLeave them to me. Donât waste your time on them. Iâll be there for you through thick and thin. Just do what you want to do.
âAre you sure you donât want me to come along to the event tonight? We have never attended a party as a couple, honey.â
Serenity looked askance at him. âYouâre the great Mr. York. Your security detail will be all over you at social events. A lowly peasant like me canât possibly get close enough to see your face.â
Zachary murmured, âThatâs in the pastâ¦â
There was once the couple turned up at the same event before and Serenity was there as her best friendâs plusâone. Zachary kept his identity hidden then. He noticed Serenity at the event, but she had no idea he was there.
âWait until I have full confidence to stand by your side. Even if you donât want to, Iâll make you go to events with me.â
Getting on her feet, Serenity bent over and propped her arms by Zacharyâs sides.â Give me a kiss, handsome. I got to go.â
Zachary laughed. âYouâre hitting on me again.â
âYouâre secretly happy every time I flirt with you.â
Serenity bit his lip. âTake care of yourself. Youâre on your own if you starve yourself again. If anything happens to you⦠Iâll inherit your assets and use your money to get me a boy toy. That would show you.â
âI might just rise from the dead.â
Zachary got up and gave her a hug before lovingly uttering, âSeren, I will watch my health so that I can grow old with you. All is good so long as you donât leave me.â
Removing his hands frorn her body, Serenity brought up the packed food. âSend Jim to collect dinner.
Itâs time for you to get back to work. Iâm going back to the shop. Elisa might already be there waiting for me.â
Zachary reluctantly walked with her out of the office.
He saw her off at the building entrance, watching as she drove off.
The security guards on duty exchanged glances.
They wondered if things were looking good for Mr. York and his wife now.
A few minutes later, Zachary turned around and sauntered into the office building.
A security guard took a bold move by observing Zacharyâs expression.
Hmm. Judging by the smile on his face, he must be in a good mood.
The couple had kissed and made up.
The employees of York Corporation could finally be at ease.
They could only hope that the couple would remain loving. The employees could not take another one of the coupleâs fights.
The matter showed everybody who Serenity was to Zachary.
She was one of a kind and irreplaceable.
Serenity was the of Zacharyâs eye. He definitely made himself to be an uxorious husband.
