Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 124
Serenity said, “Thanks, Jas.”
Jasmine smiled. “Don‘t mention it! You‘ve always closed up for the night in the past, so I‘ve been taking advantage of you. I‘ll
only feel better now by making up for it.”
Serenity accepted her friend‘s offer and picked up the clothes she bought before bidding Jasmine goodbye and walking out of
the bookstore. When she opened the car door, she placed the bag of clothes on the passenger seat and said to Zachary, “You
can head home first. I need to go to the market to buy some vegetables. If you can, cook some pasta while waiting. Otherwise ,
just wait till I get home.”
Zachary glanced at her e–bike and said, “Where‘s your new car?”
“I left the house later than usual today, so I was afraid of getting stuck in traffic. That‘s why I took the bike.”
Serenity put on her helmet and said, “I‘m leaving.”
Without waiting for Zachary to reply, Serenity rode the bike away.
Zachary was left speechless.
Serenity did things in a hurry sometimes, which was a contrast to Zachary‘s calmness,
Looking at the bag of clothes on the passenger seat, Zachary took it and rummaged through. He noticed they were menswear.
He frowned and thought, ‘Who did she buy these for?‘
Zachary checked the size and noticed that all of them matched his and they were black in color. Could they be for him?
His displeasure vanished after some thought.
Zachary saw Jasmine coming out of the store and greeted Jasmine with a nod before he drove away.
As soon as Zachary left, Shawn arrived.
Jasmine was startled when she saw her cousin. She stretched out her hand and pulled on Shawn‘s beard.” Shawn, I haven‘t
seen you in a while. Why did you grow such a long beard? You should shave it off. Don‘t grow a beard at such a young age.
You‘ll look old!
“Have you been very busy and tired recently? You look so haggard and fatigued. It‘s good to be hardworking , but don‘t overwork
yourself. After all, your body is a temple. You have to take care of your health.”
“I‘m fine, but I‘m a little busy with work.”
Shawn actually grew his beard for Serenity’s sake. It was not a long beard anyway. Jasmine was just surprised because Shawn
usually had a clean–shaven face.
“Jas, Serenity‘s not here?” Shawn asked casually when he saw that his cousin was alone in the store.

“Serenity went home early to cook up a feast for Mr. York as a token of appreciation for helping her tremendously. Are you
looking for Serenity ? You can tell me what it‘s about and I can relay the message.”
“It‘s nothing. I‘m just asking. Serenity said she wanted to treat me to a meal, but I don‘t know when she‘ll fulfill her promise.”
Jasmine laughed. “You‘re both close friends, so ordering takeout for you is also considered treating you to a meal.”
Shawn was silent.
He wanted to eat alone with Serenity.
“Jas, Serenity and her husband married at first sight. Do you think their relationship will last?”
Serenity was Shawn‘s first crush. Although he was a little younger than Serenity, he believed he could take good care of her.
When he found out Serenity got hitched, he was so lost and could not bear to let her go. Thus, he hoped and looked forward to
Serenity getting a divorce.
“Mr. York is callous, but he treats Serenity well. They should feel some spark between them after living together for a while. If it
really doesn‘t work out, they‘ll divorce half a year later since the two of them signed an agreement.”
