Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 1284
“Any news, Seren?” Mrs. Stone threw a question at Serenity.
Serenity huddled together with Elisa watching reels when her aunt asked her a question. Lifting her chin, she asked in confusion,
“What news, Aunt Audrey?”
Elisa stopped the videos and looked at her mother.
“Are you referring to our investment? The contracts are signed and out of the way, so the work can commence now. i’m hiring a
few agriculturists to start farming. Seren, we should get a start on the sales front too.”
Elisa was running the sales bit now. However, agriculture was still underway, and nothing had grown yet. Hence, they had not
received any orders.
Serenity responded, “Sure. Tomorrow night is a good opportunity.“
Old Mr. Marshall’s birthday celebration was a business engagement too.
Mrs. Stone was speechless.
Judging by the scowl on her mother’s face, Elisa realized they got the wrong answer.
She gave Serenity a nudge..
It dawned on Serenity what Mrs. Stone was trying to get to. “Aunt Audrey, are you asking if I’m pregnant?”
“Clive and Zachary are supportive of your project. I believe your investment looks promising, so I’m not worried about that. I’m
not getting any younger. I’m most worried about your marriage.”
“That reminds me, Seren. I need to go out for a bit,”
Jolting to her feet, Elisa was ready to ditch Serenity and make a run for it.
She fled to the door and said, “Don’t worry, Seren. I’ll take care of what you’ve asked of me.”
It was to go with Liberty to get a car.

Mrs. Stone remarked, “Seren, look at Elisa... She and Anthony will be the death of me. She’s twenty- seven now, and yet she
doesn’t see that time is ticking.”
“Elisa can take her time,” Serenity hinted.
Mrs. Stone fell silent before replying, “Remy’s home is in Annenburg. It’s too far away. I’m not ready for Elisa to move away. It
would be great if you can get Zachary to have a man–to–man talk about giving up on Elisa. Tell him to stop approaching Elisa. I
don’t want Elisa to be hurt again.”
“Didn’t Mr. Johnson buy a house? It’s next door. You will be neighbors. How far is that?”
Mrs. Stone answered, “No matter how many properties he gets, it will not change the fact that he was born and raised in
Annenburg.”
Serenity was at a loss for words.
“Seren, it’s time to start a family with Zachary.”
“Aunt Audrey, I don’t have a bun in the oven even though Zachary and I don’t use protection. I don’t know if I have a fertility
issue. I was thinking that I should go for a body checkup if I’m not expecting in the next few weeks. I should get early treatment if
the problem lies with me.
“If Zachary has a problem, at least we can get him the treatment he needs too.”
Nevertheless, Serenity believed the issue was likely with her since Zachary was a beast in bed.
It was hard to imagine her manly man firing blanks.
Mrs. Stone was concerned. “Both of you are fit and healthy. I don’t think you have a health issue. Relax. Sometimes, it’s harder
to get pregnant when you try to. The pressure can be too much.”
By taking it easy or letting nature take its course, a baby might suddenly pop up and give her at surprise.
“Aunt Audrey, some people may look healthy, but they could have underlying health issues. You’ll never know what’s wrong
without a physical examination.”

Mrs. Stone queried Serenity about her menstrual cycle before giving an input, “The period cramps. shouldn’t affect the
pregnancy. You might be taking in a lot of stress. Do your in–laws pressure you? Don’t bother with them. Just relax and take it
easy. If things get too much, go on a holiday. with Zachary.”
