Married at First Sight Chapter 539
In the kitchen, Zachary heard every last word of Grandma May’s conversation with Serenity.
Zachary was accustomed to his nana’s favoritism toward Serenity.
Nana had been hoping for a granddaughter for far too long. Alas, she welcomed nine grandsons instead.
Nana developed an instant liking for Serenity and saw Serenity as her own granddaughter. However, the old lady changed her
mind at the thought that her granddaughter would have to marry somebody one day
Hence, Nana did everything in her power to make Serenity her granddaughter-in-law, so Serenity would be with the Yorks
forever.
Zachary washed the dishes and wiped the stove clean. He then cleaned the wiping cloth and washed his hands before coming
out of the kitchen.
Serenity got up to bring out his jacket and tie. Although she had not gotten the hang of putting a tie on him, Zachary was flattered
by her initiative.
Zachary felt it was worth it if washing the dishes could earn him a little sugar from the Inissus.
Grandma May was pleased with Serenity’s gesture, knowing that it was a reward for Zachary. Zachary would be eating out the
palm of her hand. It was all about the give-and-take between a couple for the relationship to last a lifetime. Should only one party
be doing the giving and the other doing the taking, the giving party would be disheartened one day.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the shop. The shop was set up by Jasmine by then, but she paid no heed to the Hunts.
Apart from Old Mr. Hunt who told Mike to get him a chair from the shop to sit on, the rest were either standing or squatting at the
shop entrance. They appeared to be impatient from all the waiting Only God knew how many cigarettes John smoked.
After he sent an anonymous letter to Mr. York, John was certain he was going to join York Corporation. Alas, he heard nothing
back.
John would not even seek employment in other minor companies, much less York Corporation. No one would give him a job.
Other than his unemployment, the whole family’s jobs and businesses took a huge hit as well. They were losing sales to their
competitors and going in the red,
John knew better than anyone else that it was the doing of the person backing Serenity.
He was scared.
John persuaded Granddad to swallow his pride and brought the rest of the family to make
peace with Serenity once more. Besides, they were also here to talk about Liberty and Hank’s divorce, Mrs. Brown came to the
hospital with a sum of money and asked for Old Mr. Hunt. She pleaded with the Hunts to talk Liberty out of the divorce. Money
talked. Old Mr. Hunt accepted the sum from Liberty’s mother-in-law and took on the task. As requested, old Mr. Hunt took his
children and grandchildren to seek Serenity beforehand.
“Aren’t you embarrassed to keep your elders waiting?” Old Mr. Hunt laid it down to Serenity the moment she got out of the car.
Serenity and Zachary helped the abled old lady into the shop while faintly replying, “I didn’t ask you to wait.” “Grandma May.”
Getting up, Jasmine immediately pulled a chair for the old lady to sit on.
She whispered to her best friend, “Seren, they did not come in peace. They’ve been waiting for a long time. I guess they won’t
leave until they see the money.’ Serenity patted Jasmine’s arm to comfort her.
