Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 1334
It turned out that Zachary had been using Serenity as an excuse for some time.
No wonder he smelt nice and fresh when he came home recently.
Of course, Serenity did not want Zachary to drink so much alcohol. His stomach had been unwell
before, and she had spent time nursing him back to health. It would be better if he avoided
drinking whenever he could.
However, he deliberately created an image of him being bossed around by his wife...
Zachary held onto Serenity’s waist. He scolded Josh with a smile and said to Jasmine, “You shouldn’t be laughing happily, Ms.
Sox. Josh uses you as an excuse too.”
Jasmine said, “I’m okay with it. He can use me as an excuse as much as he wants to as long as he’s healthy. You two are the
same. Serenity and I have never been strict and given you guys enough freedom. You’re the ones labeling yourselves as men
who’re afraid of their wives.”
Serenity grinned. “They’re not even scared of being ridiculed.”
“No one dares to laugh at me for being afraid of my wife in front of me anyway. They’ll only praise me for spoiling my wife,”
Zachary said boldly.
When he was with outsiders, he always put on a straight face and tightened his lips. His eyes were dark, and people’s hearts
would feel cold just from his glance. Who would be so silly as to laugh at him for being afraid of his wife in front of him?
Whenever someone mentioned Zachary, everyone would say he was a doting husband who loved Serenity wholeheartedly.
“Zachary and I are good friends. People will only say that we’re birds of a feather that flock together.”
Serenity and Jasmine were speechless.
They truly were the same kind of person.
“You guys can continue chatting. Jasmine and I are going to greet Aunt Audrey.”

Serenity pulled Jasmine and left after speaking.
Zachary watched the two women from behind. He blamed Josh. “Why did you come over and talk to me? See? My wife was
snatched away by your fiancée. This is my wife’s first time attending a banquet with me after we got married.”
If it were not for Serenity, he would have left after greeting Old Mr. Marshall.
She had to socialize and blend into his social circle.
He wanted to be her escort. He would not let anyone bully or look down on her.
However, based on her performance, she seemed like a natural.
It was not that she could not blend in; it simply depended on whether she had the heart to do it willingly.
“Your wife was the one who pulled my fiancée away. I only managed to get a fiancée in my thirties. Your wife stole my fiancée
before I even had the chance to be lovey–dovey with her. Fortunately, Serenity is a woman, Zachary. If not, the fact that she has
known Jasmine for more than ten years is enough to make me jealous of her.”
Zachary chuckled. “I was jealous for a long time back then.”
He had been trying hard to occupy the space in Serenity’s heart too. After putting in effort for so long, he wondered whether his
position in her heart had changed.
Serenity’s sister used to be her priority, followed by her nephew, best friends, then him.
Zachary thought about it. He felt that he was tied for third place with Jasmine at most. No, he was second. He would be in
second place if he had Sonny in his arms.
He felt satisfied when he thought of it that way.
He never thought of surpassing his sister–in–law’s position in Serenity’s heart. He would not fight for first place with Liberty.
Serenity had been raised single–handedly by her sister. They have been relying on each other for many years. Her sister was
like a mother figure to her.
Josh said, “I feel better now.”

“Let’s go and talk to a few CEOS we know. By the way, why isn’t Clive here?” Josh asked after taking a sip of wine.
