Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 1161
Zachary consoled his wife, “Don’t read too much into it. I believe things will only get better for your sister.”
After much thought, Serenity uttered, “That’s true. I don’t see sparks going on between my sister and Mr. Lewis. I guess
whatever happens, happens. As you said, Mr. Lewis is his own. person. He takes control of his own life’ I trust he’ll make my
sister happy if he sees her that way.”
“Yeah, whatever happens, happens. We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves.”
Zachary grabbed her a fresh set of clothes. “Go and take a bath.”
Serenity took the clothes and kissed him on the face before going into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, the couple lay in bed, chatting about their day.
“Honey, when are you coming with me to social events?” Zachary asked.
“When do you need a plus-one for social engagements?”
Serenity believed the trial runs with her aunt at social parties had built up her confidence. Well, she also had Zachary to thank as
he had given her a lot of support too.
It would not be much of a problem to accompany him to business dinners now.
At least, she would not freeze up during the social interaction. She could walk like a lady in heels.
With Aunt Audrey taking Serenity under her wing, Serenity learned everything she needed to know. Aunt Audrey was
forthcoming with her knowledge.
Elisa could not be bothered with the whole nine yards in social etiquette, but so long as she was willing to learn, Aunt Audrey
was more than ready to pass down decades of experience to her.
Mrs. Stone hoped her nieces could become strong and independent women.
Elisa was born into privilege where her father and brothers had her back all the way. It did not matter if she became strong or
independent because no one would step on her toes. Nevertheless, Mrs. Stone’s nieces were a different story. These girls had to

secure their footing in society to earn respect from others.
“I have deals to close every day. We’re occupied with our own things during the day, so I won’t take up your time then. I’ll take
you to evening social engagements that I find right for you.”
Some venues where men talked business were not proper for women.
Zachary did not want to take his wife to these places.
“Alright. Tell me when you need me. It’s time I carry out my duties as Mrs. York.”
With a smile, Zachary lowered his head and kissed her lips before dotingly saying, “I’m sure my wife will pass with flying colors.
Have a rest, honey.”
Pulling Serenity into his arms, Zachary gave her a tight squeeze and let go of her. He tenderly uttered, “I won’t touch you tonight.
You can enjoy a nice sleep. No need to tense up.”
Zachary practiced self-restraint when it came to the couple’s intimacy. He would not go too far.
Last night was the only time he got carried away.
He must have scared her.
Heaving a sigh of relief in secret, Serenity sweetly mewed, “Goodnight, babe.”.
Zachary brushed his lips against her forehead. “Goodnight, honey. Sweet dreams.”
Serenity smiled.
Since the day the couple kissed and made up, Serenity’s reality was as sweet as her dreams.
The following day, Duncan went downstairs to find his best friend wearing an apron and making breakfast in the kitchen. That
was a real eye-opener for Duncan.
He teased Zachary, “Zachary, you always boast to Josh and me about having a wife, saying that married men are different
because your wife cooks for you every day. You come home to a warm home after a hard day of work.
“Well, it can also be quite the opposite.”

Zachary turned around and gave Duncan a look before going back to searing his steak.
