Chapter 5
Sitting nearest to Zachary was his cousin, Callum. Among the cousins within the same age range as Zachary, Callum ranked second.
Callum drew close and whispered, “Zack, I overheard your conversation with Nana. Did you really marry that Ser- girl?”
Zachary shot him a glare.
Scratching his nose, Callum straightened his back and ended the probing.
Even so, Callum had nothing but sympathy for Zachary.
There was no need for the York boys to secure social and financial standing through marriage, but Zack and his new bride were not a match in every single way. Poor Zack. He merely married the girl because Nana took a liking to her.
Once again, Callum offered Zachary condolences through his thoughts.
Thank goodness Callum was not the oldest in the family. Otherwise, he would have to step up to the plate and marry Nana’s lifesaver.
Unaware of all that, Serenity got the location details and was busy dragging her suitcase to get to her new home.
She opened the door only to step into a spacious house. The place was bigger and more decked out than her sister’s house.
Putting down her suitcase, Serenity started by looking around the place. This was her home from now on.
It had two living areas, four bedrooms, one kitchen, two bathrooms, and two balconies. Each space was broad and wide. Serenity estimated the entire house to be at least two thousand square feet.
The place was barely furnished as there was only a sofa set with a coffee table, and a wine chiller in the living room. Two out of four bedrooms were equipped with a bed and wardrobe while the other two were empty.
The master bedroom had en-suite facilities, complete with a walk-in closet, study, and bathroom. Despite the divided space, the master bedroom remained huge like the living hall.
This must be Zachary’s space.
Serenity chose to live in the other room with a bed. The sunlight that came from the balcony brightened up the room. As this was a bedroom down from the master bedroom, the new husband and wife could enjoy their personal space.
