Chapter 14
Jasmine brought a glass of red wine to her lips and took a sip.
“You read too many chick lits. There are so many people with the same first and last names under the sun, much less a surname. Bill Gates is one of the richest men, but do you think everybody with that last name is his family?”
Jasmine smiled. ‘You have a point.”
“My husband is a white-collar worker. He drives a national car and earns six figures. Do you think the heir of the Yorks would drive that sort of car? You have a wild imagination, don’t you?”
Serenity never dreamed about becoming Cinderella. It was fine to daydream but not to the extent of being out of touch with reality.
“Come to think of it, can the head of the York family swing the other way since he doesn’t want young females approaching him? Is he married?”
Serenity was the least bit interested in the young heir’s appearance. Nevertheless, it was questionable that he shunned away from young women. Either he was chaste, or he had a problem in that department. He might play for the other team for all she knew.
“I never heard the news of him getting hitched. Although we’re not in that circle, news of his marriage would rock Wiltspoon since he’s the head of the York household. The papers and media would’ve been all over his wedding. We heard nothing, so I guess he’s single.”
Jasmine put down her glass. “Now that you’ve said it. I think something’s up with him. It’s unusual for a fine man like him not to even have a girlfriend.”
“We’ll never know what’s going on in the minds of the wealthy. Eat up. We should leave after eating our fill.”
“Sure,” Jasmine responded. The girls began to feast like nobody’s business.
Many had observed them. Some looked away after a fleeting glance while others watched on with disdain and taunt. It appeared an heiress and her maid attended the ball and hid in a corner to eat the whole night as if they had been starved.
These girls sure could eat!
“Jas.”
How could she when a bottle of beer could knock her out for twelve hours? Serenity would be

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Please use the English names as it is difficult to read and connect....
I am very greatful of your hard work in translating the novel in English, is there any chance you could use the character’s name in English please, it’s hard to follow the story with Chinese names. Thanks...
Please use correct names and watch the repeating of pages....
Thank you for the story, its going on well, however the changing of names somehow makes it difficult to follow. Even learning the new ones that you have tried to match, it is extremely difficult to follow and enjoy the drama while trying to go back to rechecking who we are talking about. The title is still Married at first sight (Serenity and Zachary) but they no longer exist in the whole picture. You created a dynamic community which I am sure everyone felt they lived and travelled with. We appreciate all the effort and your insight. I am very grateful for this novel is very captivating....
Please continue using Zachary,. Serenity,Duncan, Liberty etc . You jumped 30 updates and changed names where I'm unable to follow the story and losing interest. This is a great disservice to your loyal readers....
Changing names ruins the whole story. Whoever heard of such a thing....
Please use the old names, the new names are too confusing...
