Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 1009
"Go back to the room and change out of your dress.
Zachary wanted to pick Serenity up as he spoke, but she stopped him.
"I can walk."
Serenity stood up. Her legs felt much better after Zachary’s massage.
"Seren, you won't even give me the chance to perform. I want to train my arm strength. Carrying you around is a good way of
training."
Serenity pinched his face lightly. "What do you mean you want to train your arm strength? You work out every day. Let's go to
sleep already."
"I'll draw the bath for you."
Zachary did not carry her back to the room and went ahead to draw the bath for her. Then, he brought her pajamas so she could
sleep comfortably after soaking in a hot bath.
After coming out of the bath, Serenity climbed into bed and lay beside Zachary. She suddenly remembered something, propped
her head up, and kissed him twice on the cheek. "Good night, Babe."
Zachary kissed her back. "Good night. Sweet dreams."
"I rarely have nightmares."
Serenity lay down and habitually snuggled into his arms.
Zachary embraced his beloved wife and slept in contentment.
The next day, the couple went back to work.
Tania, who was far away in Wildridge Manor, received a call from a person she had played cards with several times before.
"Mrs. York."

The person on the phone told Tania, "Your daughter-in-law is really nosy, isn't she? She even interfered with other families'
affairs. She'll offend other people easily if she does that."
Tania was dumbfounded and asked, "What do you mean my daughter-in- law is nosy? Whose family affairs did she meddle in?
Did she offend you?"
"Don't you know that your daughter-in-law went to the Dowling family's banquet last night? She went with Mrs. Stone instead of
accompanying her mother-in-law. Do you two not get along?
"I didn’t go to the Dowlings' banquet, but if you ask me, the Dowlings’ status isn't worthy of your daughter-in-law attending. Even
if she's a country bumpkin, she's the eldest missus of the York family after marrying your son. She should be mingling with the
upper crust instead of a middle class family like the Dowlings.
"She didn’t offend me, but she offended Mrs. Newman. This is what I heard from others. The second daughter of the Newmans,
Ms. Carrie, targeted her elder sister and tried to make her drink a glass of wine. Your daughter- in-law tried playing the hero and
stopped Ms. Carrie from forcing Ms.
Camryn to drink. In the end, she made Ms. Carrie drink the wine instead.
"Soon after that, Ms. Carrie said that she was feeling hot and tried to undress. Mrs. Newman was heartbroken and furious. She
probably hates your daughter-in-law's guts out now. Everyone knows that the Newman sisters don't get along but that's between
the sisters. It's no wonder your daughter-in-law offended Mrs. Newman with her meddling."
