Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 906
The scowl on Zachary’s face could not be any more grimacing.
Nevertheless, he did not have the nerve to go ahead to face another beating from Nana’s cane. Taking his nana’s cynical remark
to heart, Zachary callously retorted, ” Nana, I never said Serenity’s not the only girl out there for me.”
There was no way he would say such a thing.
Serenity was the only one for him.
He did not want anyone but Serenity.
“So you never said that?”
Stumped, Zachary took a moment before uttering, “I might have said it in my dreams.
How did you know, Nana?”
Was it possible that it did not happen in dreamland?
He had a huge fight with Serenity and said the unthinkable in a fit of rage. The rage somehow inflamed something else in him
too....
“Nana, I–I had a lot to drink. What did I do to Serenity while intoxicated?”
If he was drunk to use force on Serenity....
Jesus!
Zachary had to stop his thoughts from spiraling there.
Alcohol could really mess things up!
He was wasted.
Grandma May put down her cane and said, “How am I supposed to know what you did to Serenity? You were rambling on after
downing a few bottles of liquor. I thought you could use some help to sober up. How do you feel? Is your mind clear now?”

Zachary fell silent before saying, “I’m sober.”
Grandma May’s method of sobering him up could end up fatal if his waking came too late. He would have to wait to reconcile
with Serenity in Heaven then.
“Can your problems be solved by drowning your sorrows?”
Zachary shook his head. “At least I can forget my troubles for a moment.”
“Are your troubles still here now that you’re awake? Or does it feel worse? You can say anything and do anything when you’re
drunk. You might think it’s a dream, but you could be acting it out in real life.”
Zachary turned as white as a sheet.
He nervously asked, “What happened to Serenity, Nana?”
“I don’t know.”
Grandma May’s tactic of intimidation worked. However, the old lady had no clue how Serenity was doing because the person
who drove her wasted grandson home last night was Josh and not her granddaughter–in–law.
Zachary turned on his heel to leave.
“Come back. What time do you think it is? She’s going to give you an attitude if you wake her at this hour.”
It was five o’clock in the morning.
It was not even the break of dawn.
“Also, change out of your wet clothes. You look like you took a bath with your clothes on.”
Turning a deaf ear, Zachary proceeded to walk out of there.
“Josh was the one who sent you home last night.”
Grandma May had to come clean before her drunken grandson went to Serenity looking like that.

By the looks of his pale face, Zachary must have done something to Serenity in his dreams. Serenity would probably be left
scratching her head if her door was pounded first thing in the morning.
Stopping short, Zachary turned around and brisked his pace back to Grandma May.
“Josh drove me home? Did I do anything to Josh?”
Furious, Grandma May smacked him on the arm and chided, “God knows what you did to Josh. Josh fled right after dropping
you off. He didn’t even come in for a drink.”
Zachary looked sullen.
Grandma asked him on purpose, “Zachary, what happened in your dream? Josh is your most trusted and closest friend. He
dumped you here before running away. Did you mistake him for Serenity?”
“Nana!”
Zachary hissed through clenched teeth, “I don’t remember a thing!”
His memory was stuck on asking his two best friends out to Neon Nights. He needed a drink after Serenity proposed signing a
new contract with him. She needed time to get used to his status as the heir of the Yorks. While she would try to adapt to his
world, she would not push herself if it was not for her. If it was not meant to be, Serenity hoped Zachary would not push the
agenda and let it go too.
