Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

Chapter 125
Jasmine looked at her cousin suspiciously and asked,” Shawn, why are you asking about this?”
Shawn would not admit his feelings for Serenity and that he was looking forward to Serenity‘s divorce, so he lied.” I just care
about Serenity. I don‘t mean anything else. Serenity is a nice girl. If her husband doesn‘t treat her well, it‘ll be better to get a
divorce sooner so she can find a man who will appreciate her. That way, she can live a good life.”
“That‘s true. Serenity is great! I believe Mr. York will fall in love with her. He might even fall for her sooner than the other way
round!”
Jasmine only wished the best for her friend.
Shawn‘s heart ached.
He could not tell his cousin that he had a crush on Serenity because he was afraid Jasmine would tell his mother.
Not to mention, Shawn was a little younger than Serenity. Even if Serenity were to divorce, his mother would never accept
Serenity as a daughter–in–law. Before Shawn had full confidence in pursuing Serenity, he was careful to conceal his feelings
from others.
The sun set over the ocean in the west. The sky quietly darkened as night fell.
Back in Brynfield, Serenity was bustling about the kitchen. The aroma of food wafted out from time to time, attracting Zachary to
the kitchen door. He wanted to help, but Serenity said she would do it all by herself since she was treating him to dinner and
declined his help. He was watching TV in the hall but felt bored, so he might as well watch his wife cook.
Zachary looked at Serenity‘s graceful movements with a deep and gentle gaze. Even though he had not noticed these changes
in himself, he felt Serenity possessed many strengths.
“Serenity,” Zachary called out suddenly as a thought popped into his head.
Serenity turned her head to look at him while she continued to cook and asked, “Speak your mind, Mr. York.”
“You‘ve taken good care of those few potted plants on the balcony. Can you spare me one to bring to the office so I can put it on
my desk?”

Serenity replied matter–of–factly, “That pot is rather big. If you put it in the office, it‘s best not to put it on the table as it‘ll take up
too much space. Just pick a spot in the office and place it there.”
“But I want to put it on my desk. I heard from my colleagues that the plant symbolizes fortune, so I thought if I put it on my desk,
it could help me attract fortune.”
“Then, you might as well buy a lucky cat and put it on your desk.”
Serenity scooped up the stir–fried vegetables and transferred them onto the plate while saying, “If you want to put it on your
desk, I can give you a miniature tree handicraft. It‘s not big, so it won‘t take up much space. It looks good and has a meaningful
symbolism.”
Zachary spoke in such a big roundabout way because he wanted his wife to give him the handicrafts she made. His wife fell into
his trap willingly, and he gladly played along “Do you have any in stock? Your handicrafts are intricate. Nana loves them so much
that she puts them in the most conspicuous places in the house. Whenever anyone asks, she‘ll just sing praises of you.”
Nana praised Serenity highly, so much so she became Zachary‘s wife.
“I do have some in stock, but they‘re all orders for my customers. I won‘t have to rush in giving it to you since we live together. I‘ll
pass you a miniature tree tomorrow. Do you also want a lucky cat?”
Zachary did not mind as long as Serenity was willing to give him her handmade crafts. He would not steal from her customers.
“Can you make a lucky cat?”
“Yup.”
Zachary smiled. “Then I‘ll be greedy for once and ask for a lucky cat.”
Callum did not have a lucky cat, and now Zachary had one item more than Callum. “If your colleagues like them, please send
them the link to my online store to support my business!”
After a moment of silence, Zachary said, “Many of my colleagues already know about your online store because Callum
recommended it to them.” Callum stole Zachary‘s opportunity and took the lead.
