Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 1115
Serenity said, “I’m okay. Am I not sitting here all fine? But my car was smashed. Zachary drove me to work this morning.”
Liberty nervously asked, “Who was it? Was it those people again?”
She thought it was their relatives again.
“No. It’s the Newman family. Well, the sister of the woman I helped before, to be precise. I got into two arguments with her, so
she hired a few thugs to get back at me.”
“I can’t believe it! Where is the law?” Liberty reproached.
“Did you call the cops?”
“Yeah.”
Serenity looked at her nephew in her sister’s arms and replied, “I’ll be fine, Liberty. Zachary assigned another two bodyguards to
protect me. I’m letting you know now in case you and Sonny might be dragged into this.
“How about you move in with us, Liberty? We can look after one another, and it’s safer for all of us.”
Liberty answered, “I’m renting in quite a safe neighborhood. Since you called the cops, they would’ve learned their lesson and
wouldn’t try something again. We’re living in a lawful society.”
After much thought, Liberty added, “I cleaned out the storage room in the diner. I plan to get bunk beds to put in there and move
out of the apartment. Sonny and I can stay in the diner. At least, I can save money on the rental, and it’s safer too.”
Mr. Lewis hired security guards to patrol the streets.
The mother and son often took rides from Serenity to get around.
“Don’t get worked up, Liberty. They won’t do anything out in the open. I’m only letting you know so you can keep your eyes
peeled for anything. We can go back to the same arrangement as when you were working at Lewis & Co. I can go to your store
and pick Sonny up to come to mine. Mrs. Lane can look after Sonny. It’s the best of both worlds since you won’t be distracted.”

The sisters were past the time when they had nobody. The York and Stone families stood behind them now. Anyone who wanted
to lay a finger on them had to think twice.
Serenity was most afraid that her nephew would be targeted.
“Sounds good.”
Liberty had no objections.
She really had no time for her son when things got hectic at the diner.
It was not like Liberty could carry Sonny on her back as she worked. The little man was heavy, so the weight would be a toil on
her as time went by.
Once the sisters had the living arrangement out of the way, Serenity told her sister about their relatives spreading rumors.
It did not come as a surprise to Liberty.
She had guessed that they would not give up on her parents’ inheritance that easily.
“I can handle this, Liberty. You should go back and get some rest.”
Letting out a yawn, Liberty replied, “Sure. I’ll leave the e-bike at your shop. I’ll catch a cab with Sonny. I’m so tired. I can barely
open my eyes.”
She was drained and had a child to look after. She knew better than to ride in this condition.
Serenity told one of the bodyguards to drive her sister and nephew home for a rest.
There was not much activity going on in the afternoon. That night, Serenity went with her
aunt to attend an event.
This time, they were going to the Jeffersons’ home.
When the clock struck nine, the arrival of several luxury sedans stirred the guests at the party hosted by the Jeffersons.
The person who came was Mr. York!

Zachary was here to pick his wife up.
Serenity did not want to attend the event with him. He respected her wish, but it was well within his rights to pick her up too.
With the elegant Rolls Royce escorted by security vehicles pulling up in the driveway of the Jeffersons’ residence, the host family
came out of the house to welcome him.
“Mr. York.”
Mr. Jefferson approached with a smile and opened the door for Zachary.
Zachary got out of the car holding a bouquet of roses. Onlookers could not take their eyes away from the man.
Mr. York looked rather charming with the bouquet in his hand. He made everybody’s heart skip a beat.
After stepping his foot out of the car, he swept a glance at everybody before turning to Mr. Jefferson. Before Mr. Jefferson could
introduce his family to him, Zachary uttered, “Sorry to bother you, Mr. Jefferson. I’m here to pick my wife up. It’s late.”
Everybody was lost for words.
The party only started at half-past seven.
