Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 605
Serenity took Zachary’s call.
“I’m not a hot water bottle! ”
The first thing that came out of Zachary’s mouth was to correct what Serenity called him.
Serenity chuckled. “I’m feeling cold now, so I thought about you. You’re warmer than a hot water bottle.”
Zachary’s voice was gruff. “So, you wouldn’t think of me if you weren’t feeling cold?”
Serenity gladly admitted to that fact. “I probably would’ve gone right to bed if I weren’t cold. Oh, I’ll send you a goodnight gif.”
Zachary was speechless.
“Are you done with your work? You should carry on if you aren’t. I’m going to bed.”
Serenity was about to hang up the call.
“Serenity.”
Zachary huskily asked, “Are your DNA test results with Mrs. Stone out yet?”
“The results are out. Mrs. Stone is my aunt. We’re related by blood.”
Although his heart sank, Zachary did not show it in his face or tone. “Congratulations on finding your family.”
“Thank you.”
She only had her sister for fifteen years. Now that an aunt suddenly came into the picture, Serenity wondered if she was in a
dream as it felt surreal.
“That reminds me, Zachary. Your nana moved back to the family home. Callum came tonight to pick her up.
“I wasn’t home. Ms. Lane told me about it.”
Zachary could not believe how quickly Nana slipped away.

“She goes wherever her heart takes her. I’m used to her coming and going.”
Grandma May owned many properties, and she would often stay a couple of nights here and there. It was hard to locate the old
lady unless she came looking for them.
“Did anything happen today? Did Shawn go to your shop?”
“Jesus. I can feel your jealousy all the way here. Shawn’s a busy man too. He probably won’t meet with me after I turned him
down. You can relax and focus on your work. I promise I won’t cheat on you.”
After a pause, she bantered, “I’ll be waiting for you to come home and eat you up.”
Zachary laughed. “I better fatten myself up, so you can have a delicious meal.”
Serenity remarked after a brief pause, “Zachary, you’ve changed.” “I changed because you changed me. I changed because of
you.” He did not have a way with words albeit would come through sometimes. Serenity thought it was cheesy at first, but she
would feel all sweet and warm inside when thinking back.
“Serenity.”
“Yeah?”
“Anything else you want to talk about?”
Serenity yawned. “No. 1’11 talk to you in my dreams.”
Zachary was lost for words.
“You must be busy. I’ll leave you to it and get some sleep. Tomorrow will be a busy one for me. The term break starts after
tomorrow.”
“Don’t strain yourself.”
“Everything’s worth it when the money comes in. That’s it now. I’m heading to bed, Zachary. Goodnight.”
Serenity ended the call after saying goodnight.

She had hung up before Zachary could say more. Staring at his phone, Zachary mumbled, “Serenity, your attitude makes me
feel insecure.”
He got the feeling that she was not in love with him.
Although Serenity often talked about jumping him, the truth of the matter was, she had not given her heart fully to him.
