Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 1569
Serenity thought of her main task at the moment, which was to first figure out all of her in-laws’ family properties.
This was to prepare her to become the head missus in the future.
With her attention distracted, she would not dwell on the matter of being pregnant or not.
Zachary embraced her again and whispered a few words in her ear.
Serenity blushed right away and pinched his thigh.
Zachary played along and shouted, “Honey, are you trying to kill your husband?”
“Come on, I didn’t even use force. You screamed like a little girl,” Serenity commented.
Zachary laughed out loud.
Meanwhile, at the Stones, Mrs. Stone was helped into the house by the housekeeper and a strange man.
When Elisa, who was about to go out, saw this, she threw her bag onto the sofa and quickly went forward She asked anxiously,
“Mom, what happened to you?”
She remembered that her mom mentioned going out for a walk to get some fresh air.
Mrs. Stone was assisted to the sofa. She sat and answered, “I accidentally fell and sprained my foot. Luckily, Mr. Reading saw
me and sent me back.”
Elisa squatted in front of her mom and saw that her mom’s clothes were soiled. It was true that she had taken a fall. After that,
Elisa looked at her mom’s foot and noticed that it was slightly red and swollen. Her mom seemed to have sprained it.
As such, Elisa asked the housekeeper to bring the ointment.
She stood up and thanked the strange man, “Thank you, Mr. Reading.”
Mr. Reading was in his early thirties and looked rather handsome. Elisa found him to look familiar, but she did not know him at
all. Given that Mr. Reading saw her mom spraining her foot in the surrounding area, he must also live here.

Elisa had never met Mr. Reading but thought he looked familiar.
Mr. Reading responded, “You’re welcome. Anyone who saw your mom would’ve sent her home.”
“Elisa, Mr. Reading is Zachary’s cousin. They’re of the same age,” Mrs. Stone explained.
Mr. Reading was Tania’s nephew from her paternal family.
The Readings were a wealthy family but were very low-key. If not for Tania marrying into the Yorks and becoming the missus in
charge, very few people paid attention to the Readings. It was mainly because they never attended the parties of the high society
in Wiltspoon, so only a few people knew them.
Elisa was very surprised.
She had liked Zachary for many years and openly confessed her love to him, but she never knew his
cousin.
No wonder she felt that Mr. Reading looked familiar. It was not that she had seen him before, but Mr. Reading and Tania shared
some resemblance. After all, they were aunt and nephew.
Elisa had seen Tania, so she feit that Mr. Reading looked familiar when she saw him.
“Mr. Reading, thank you so much. Please have a seat.”
Elisa now knew that Mr. Reading was Zachary’s cousin, so he was considered a close relative. Besides, Mr. Reading also sent
her mom home when she sprained her foot. Hence, Elisa was nice to him, and she was full of gratitude.
Mr. Reading said, “Ms. Stone, I have something to do, so I won’t be staying. I’ll visit again some other day when I have time.”
“Mr. Reading, you should sit and have a cup of tea.”
Mr. Reading politely refused the kindness of the mother and daughter.
Mrs. Stone said to her daughter, “Elisa, see Mr. Reading off.”
Elisa hummed.

She escorted Mr. Reading out.
