Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 362
Mrs. Lane greeted Zachary with a smile. Zachary instructed her to call him Mr. York in front of Serenity.
“Mrs. Lane, you‘re here. Serenity, this is Mrs. Lane, the one I told you about.”
Zachary quickly made the introductions.
Serenity smiled. “I saw her as I was coming back. Mrs. Lane already introduced herself. Have a seat, Mrs. Lane. I‘ll bring the
groceries inside.” “Let me do it, Mrs. York.”
“Mrs. Lane.”
The woman smiled apologetically. After stealing a glance at Zachary, she stopped calling Serenity “Mrs. York” and changed her
form of address to Ms. Hunt instead.
“Mr. York and Ms. Hunt, I reckon you haven‘t had breakfast? I‘ll cook for you.”
Serenity wanted to stop her, but she said with a smile, “Ms. Hunt, I‘m here as a nanny. Mr. York already briefed me on my job
description. From today onward, I have to earn my pay. You can‘t let me receive a salary without doing anything and leaving
everything to you, right, Ms. Hunt?”
Serenity had no choice but to let Mrs. Lane take the groceries she brought back into the kitchen.
“Mrs. Lane, I‘m bringing the spare ribs, corn, carrot, peas, the two sausages, as well as that handful of leafy vegetables to the
store for my lunch later.”
Mrs. Lane answered from the kitchen, “Yes, Ms. Hunt.”
She quickly separated the ingredients Serenity wanted to bring to the store before using the remaining ingredients to make
breakfast for three.
Serenity stood at the kitchen door for a moment and watched Mrs. Lane‘s skillful and swift movements. Judging by how she
cleaned as she went, it seemed that Mrs. Lane liked to keep everything clean too.
Thus, Serenity was relieved and went to the balcony.

Zachary followed her.
“Mrs. Lane is meticulous in her work.”
He saw his wife holding a small bag which contained several small packets, and asked, “What is that?” “Ant repellent. I‘ve never
used pesticide on the flowers since I bought them, and there are ants everywhere now. Maybe there were ant eggs in the soil,
but we didn‘t know because we didn‘t pay enough attention. The ants have hatched now.”
She explained while taking out the ant repellent, tearing open the bag and sprinkling a little into each pot of flowers.
“You need to get rid of ants regularly when growing flowers.”
Although Zachary had never done gardening before, he knew the basic concepts. He saw the gardeners at home often spraying
insecticide and sprinkling ant repellent to keep insects away.
Serenity hummed and continued to sprinkle the repellent into the flower pots.
However, she ran out of the ant repellent.
She bought too little.
She would have to buy a few more packs again tomorrow.
Standing up straight and turning around, she saw Zachary holding the prong and using it to collect the clothes that he hung to
dry here yesterday. Serenity recalled his little actions yesterday, but she feigned ignorance and asked casually, “Are they dry?”
“Yeah.”
Zachary touched the new clothes. They were all dry.
However, his expression grew a little sullen. That was because he made an amateur mistake. He washed the clothes with water.
He did not think it through and casually threw the clothes in the washer. It was already too late by the time he realized what he
did. However, he accepted the mistake and looked at the silver lining instead.
Looking at the clothes now, Zachary regretted it. He most likely would not be able to wear them anymore.
If Nana knew he made such an amateur mistake, she would laugh at him for the whole year.

“What‘s wrong?” Serenity asked him.
Zachary immediately rolled the clothes into a ball in his hands and said, “Nothing. I‘m going back to my room to change.” With
that, he turned away with the clothes he could not wear anymore.
When he got into his room, he called Jim immediately. He asked him to get more sets of clothes from the store Serenity bought
for him and send them to the dry cleaners so he could wear them for Serenity to see another day.
