Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 1088

Mr. Charles replied, “That’s true… It’s a good thing I didn’t tell my wife.”

“Mrs. Charles doesn’t give you much allowance, but she doesn’t let you pay for the other stuff. You don’t have to worry about expenses for your parents and parents-in-law, social favors, and expenses for raising your children. You are lucky, Mr. Charles.

“It’s not easy to manage money.”

While munching, Mr. Charles remarked, “I agree, and that’s why I left the finances to my wife since she’s good at it. I used to be the one to take care of the finances, but our savings never made it past twenty thousand dollars by the end of the year despite our business doing well. Since my wife took over, we have saved close to a hundred thousand dollars a year.

“I’m happy with the load off my shoulders and the surplus of money in the family account. My wife is a very fair person. She won’t favor her own family. She gives equal amounts to my parents and her parents. My parents cannot be happier with their daughter-in-law.

“Serenity, I can tell you right now that my family will be tearing into me if I have a fight with my wife.”

Mr. Charles sounded like he was moaning, but he was, in fact, bragging about his happy home. They might not have riches in material things, but Mrs. Charles was very considerate and good at keeping the peace at home.

Mrs. Charles was sharp-tongued, but she was a softie under all that tough exterior.

The way Mrs. Charles dealt with life and people was something Serenity wanted to learn from her.

“Honey! Honey!”

Mrs. Charles was calling him from next door.

Mr. Charles answered his wife’s calls before whispering to Serenity, “Keep it between us, okay? I got to go.”

Serenity acknowledged with a smile.

By ten o’clock at night, Serenity shut the shop since there was no business. She was ready to go home and wait for her man’s return.

A few minutes later, Serenity drove away from Wiltspoon School.

Meanwhile, Carrie got a call from a thug who told her, “Ms. Jones, the woman you wanted us to keep an eye on is closing shop. She’s driving home now.”

“Keep your eyes on her and follow her to a road without surveillance before stopping her car. I want you to beat her up and smash her car real bad. Don’t forget to disguise yourselves with a mask and sunglasses. Don’t let her see your faces.

“I’ll wire you the rest of the money once the job is done. You can take the money and take cover for a while. Return to Wiltspoon once the whole thing is blown over.”

Although Carrie was willful and rash, she knew that Zachary stood behind Serenity. Zachary would hunt Carrie down if she got her revenge on Serenity. Hence, she hired some thugs to do the deed and leave Wiltspoon. That way, the whole thing would not trace back to her.
