Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 211
Regent Residences was a high-class villa neighborhood in Wilt spoon. The residents were either rich or nobles,
Before Zachary got his marriage license with Serenity, he lived here almost every day and only occasionally returned to the old
residence to accompany his elders.
The villa he lived in used to be made up of several small villas, but he demolished them and rebuilt a large villa when he bought
the land. The large villa had both front and back gardens. Although it was not as large as the old residence, he lived alone, so it
was spacious. Sam knew Zachary was coming back before he had anything to eat, so Sam told the kitchen to prepare lunch in
advance.
Zachary got up late and had brunch at one go.
After he finished eating at a home he was familiar with his bad mood improved marginally.
He sat on the sofa and called Josh.
Josh had not woken up yet. Yesterday, Duncan and he went drinking with Zachary. Zachary could hold his liquor, so he was not
drunk. On the contrary, Josh got so drunk that he needed the hotel staff to take him home.
Duncan’s alcohol tolerance was better than Zachary’s, so he was not the least bit drunk. However, he could not drive since he
had alcohol, so he simply stayed in the hotel overnight. Josh’s voice was slightly hoarse when he answered,” Morning, Boss.”
Zachary was silent for a moment and asked, “It’s not morning anymore. I just finished lunch.”
Josh was speechless. He moved the phone away from his ear and looked at the time. It was indeed already noon. It was no
wonder his boss called him to wake him up. He felt a stomachache, but fortunately, his head was not hurting. Otherwise, he
would stay in bed all day.
“What’s up?” “Do you have plans this afternoon?”
Josh shot up straight and once again moved the phone away from his ear. When he affirmed that the person he was talking to
was indeed his boss and buddy, Zachary, he laughed and asked, “The sun must have risen from the west today. Did you just ask
me if I had plans? What? Don’t you need to accompany your wife on Sundays?”
Zachary’s expression darkened, but Josh could not see it.
Naturally, Zachary would not tell him about the fight he had with his wife. He said in a faint tone, “She always goes to her sister’s
place to look after her nephew whenever she’s free. Either that, or she goes shopping with her friends. She doesn’t need me to
accompany her.”
Josh remembered how Serenity and her sister were dependent on each other, so he did not doubt Zachary. “I’ll call Duncan to
ask if he has plans and get back to you.” “Sure.”
Zachary did not want to be alone.
If he was, he would think about what happened last night. He thought, ‘That could be considered a quarrel, right? We’re also

ignoring each other today. Is this a cold war?’ Duncan proposed golfing and off the trio went. Serenity knitted her crafts in the
store and did not go home all day. She even had all her meals in the store. When it was eight in the evening, she closed up the
shop and rode home on her e-bike.
She took the maneki-neko and the golden dragon she promised to give to Zachary. He was angry because she gave Elisa a
maneki-neko before she gave it to him, so she gave him an additional dragon to appease him.
Bringing the maneki-neko back home to him did not mean she was bowing to him. She simply felt that since she had already
promised him, she had to give it to him quickly as she did not want to owe him.
The house was empty when she returned. There was no figure in sight.
Serenity placed the maneki-neko and the dragon on the coffee table before going out on the balcony to water the flowers and
plants. Then, she sat on the swing and quietly looked out at the night scenery.
