Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 787
“Darling, let’s talk about this tomorrow. It’s already very late and if we make too big of a fuss, we might wake our daughter up.”
Mrs. Lowe advised her husband and stopped him from kicking at the door again.
“Shawn’s in a bad mood so he might have had something to drink in his room. If he gets really drunk, he won’t be able to hear
any banging on the door.”
As of late, Shawn had been getting drunk in his room often. He had a minibar in his room and had moved all his father’s
treasured fine wines into his room.
It was precisely this constant drowning of his sorrows in alcohol, which led to his having no mood to work during the day that
resulted in all the mistakes in his work
recently.
Mr. Lowe was livid but could not do anything about it and was persuaded to return to their bedroom by his wife.
Upon entering their room, Mrs. Lowe asked her husband, “Darling, about Mr. York telling us that Serenity is his wife... Do we
have to help him keep it a secret? It doesn’t look like he’s gone completely public about his relationship with Serenity.“.
Her niece was Serenity’s best friend and even she did not know Zachary’s true identity.
Mr. Lowe sat down on the sofa in the room, and said after a moment of silence, “Mr.
York already said he and Serenity got married in secret. Since he hasn’t gone entirely public about it and even if we know about
it now, let’s not mention it to others, lest he makes things difficult for us again.
“I knew there was no way York Corporation would just halt all cooperation with us out of the blue like that. Us being able to work
together with them was the result of my long, hard work. And even after establishing the cooperation, I was very careful. I was so
scared our products wouldn’t be up to par, I didn’t dare make a single mistake.
“Even with the chance to meet Mr. York at gatherings once in a while, I wouldn’t deliberately seek to flatter and ingratiate myself
with him, but I didn’t dare offend him either. Although he’s naturally cold and aloof, he’s a reasonable man. He wouldn’t make
things difficult for us just because.

“Now I know Shawn was the problem. He must have fallen for Serenity long ago, right? He didn’t confess to Serenity before she
had her shotgun marriage, but
confessed to her after that and kept clinging to her. What was the use in that?”
Mrs. Lowe sighed heavily.
“That’s right. What’s the use? I didn’t approve of him and Serenity being a couple anyway. Serenity and Jasmine have a very
good relationship and I watched her grow up. I don’t hate her, but being a niece is different from being a daughter–in–law.
“The choice of daughter–in–law I have in mind is a young lady of an illustrious family. Other than looking good, Serenity doesn’t
have any particular outstanding traits at the moment. Although she’s fairly good at making some money, she’s not in Shawn’s
league. We the Lowes are a wealthy family, so naturally, our daughter–in–law must come from a family of equal standing.
“Only by marrying a young lady of a rich family will it be of any help to Shawn. Serenity can’t help him in any way. Even if we
were willing to nurture Serenity into making a deep impression on the industry, she’ll be only but a daughter–in–law. Who can
guarantee that if she gets together with Shawn now, she’ll spend the rest of her life with him? What if we end up nurturing an
ungrateful beast?
“No matter how I tried to advise him, he wouldn’t listen. Serenity is probably his first love. It’s always hard to forget the first love.”
Mr. Lowe said, “No matter what Serenity thinks, we can’t let Shawn go on like this. We must make him leave Wiltspoon and stay
far away from Serenity. He’ll be able to get over it eventually.
“Otherwise, if this goes on, sooner or later, something big is going to blow up. Mr. York is not a good–tempered person. He hasn’t
dealt us a mortal blow right now probably because of Serenity. Serenity has a good relationship with Jasmine and you normally
treat her like a niece, so he’s probably scared that if he completely destroys Lowe Enterprise and Serenity finds out the truth,
she’ll blame him.
“But if Shawn continues to stay the same by bothering Serenity from time to time, and Mr. York finds out, he won’t show us any
more mercy.”
“Where should we send Shawn?” Mrs. Lowe asked him.
She was internally thanking God she had always treated Serenity well.

No matter what you did, you must leave a way out for yourself.
