Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 502
For the sake of peace and quiet, Jasmine did not hesitate to lie on the floor at Mrs. Dawson’s birthday celebration. It meant that t
he pressure to get married was pretty bad for Jasmine.
Josh would not be able to wiggle his way out of the situation if Mrs. Sox caught him visiting Jasmine.
Although Jasmine was his type,
nothing was carved in stone yet between them. They had not reached the stage of meeting the parents.
Josh only let the head of the Bucham household know about it while keeping it from the others. He was afraid the seniors of
his family would turn up in a large group at Jasmine’s house and scare her off.
Jasmine thanked Josh’s show of concern.
The pair did not chat for long and ended the phone conversation.
Elisa and her mother waited at Serenity’s shop for Serenity’s return. Shawn left after Elisa and her mother came along.
Shawn’s mother warned him to keep a distance from Elisa. The Lowes did not want to cross the fiery princess of the Stones.
Mrs. Stone had made up her mind that Serenity and Liberty were her nieces. She looked around every corner of Serenity’s shop.
She saw plenty of other items.
Baffled, Mrs. Stoned asked her daughter, “Why does Serenity have a lot of skincare and cosmetic products in her shop?”
Mrs. Stone knew that Serenity also had an online business selling her own crafts. She had seen the maneki–
neko Elisa brought home. It was well made.
Her daughter loved the maneki–neko a lot.
Elisa’s face turned red.
She replied awkwardly, “I bought those stuff, Mom. I would turn to retail therapy whenever I feel down. It doesn’t matter if the pro
ducts have no use to me. I buy them all.

“It was only when I calmed down after the shopping that I realized you’d tear into me for getting stuff I didn’t need. So, I gave the
m all to Serenity.”
Mrs. Stone retorted, “So you dumped your stuff on Serenity like she’s a recycling center?”
Elisa stuck out her tongue.
She went up and held her mother‘s arm while sweet –talking. “Now that I know Serenity might be
my cousin, it‘s only proper for me as the older cousin to give her gifts. I‘m not dumping my stuff on her.”
“Right. It‘s all thanks to you that I might have possibly found your aunt. Only...”
Mrs. Stone ended mid–sentence.
She hoped and was also afraid the DNA test would show that she and Serenity were related by blood.
If they were related, it meant that her sister was dead for fifteen years.
Mrs. Stone would have to wait until her time on earth was over before reuniting with her sister once more in heaven.
“Mom.”
Elisa knew her mother was sad.
Clinging onto her mother‘s arm, Elisa comforted her, “Although my aunt might no longer be with us, she left behind two daughter
s. You have been searching for your sister for decades. It‘s a blessing that you could find two nieces.
“Let‘s not forget Sonny as well. He‘s a cutie pie. I took an instant liking to him. I‘m so envious Serenity has such a cute nephew. I c
of toys.”
Mrs. Stone‘s heart could melt just thinking about
the adorable kid. “How is it going with Sonny? Did you ask Serenity? Tell Serenity to let us know if she needs our help.
“We‘ll help her regardless of whether she‘s my niece or not.”
No matter what, Serenity was one of her darling daughter‘s handful of best friends.
Mrs. Stone‘s love for her daughter was extended to her friends too.

She had a good opinion of Serenity, to begin with.
“I haven‘t asked Serenity. How could I after the scare you gave me yesterday, Mom? I think it must be resolved. Serenity‘s husban
“Serenity and her husband got married right away without knowing much about each other. Still, the husband
is way better than the man her sister had married and known for twelve years. The scumbag Brown! I would beat the guy
up if it were me.”
Mrs. Stone asked with concern, “Serenity got married right away? Where is her husband from? What does he do?”
“I think he’s working at York Corporation. Coincidently, his last name is York, but Serenity said her husband is not related to the
York family that we know.”
There were plenty of people with the same last name, so Mrs. Stone did not think much about it. She merely hummed an
acknowledgment.
