Chapter 16
Within the business community in Wiltspoon, anyone who had won Zachary’s favor would go places like the world was theirs to take.
Mr. and Mrs. Lowe brought their son along to the dinner party so he could meet people and make friends. It was to lay the groundwork for their son’s future.
“Mr. Lowe, you were…”
“I was just returning from walking my family to get a ride.”
Before Zachary could finish his sentence, Shawn jumped in to explain what he was doing in case Zachary might take it the wrong way that Shawn did not care for these social settings or was unhappy with the hotel service.
The Wiltspoon Hotel was one of the many hotels under the Yorks’ flagship.
“Oh.” Zachary then walked past Shawn, looking like he only greeted Shawn out of politeness.
Shawn had no time to get over the situation as a crowd around Zachary walked right past him. Shawn became a nobody in an instant.
Everybody was used to Zachary making a brief appearance at an event before taking off.
The CEOs were secretly glad that they managed to talk business with Zachary. It was a good thing that they moved quickly and jumped at the chance.
Soon, the Rolls Royce with the car plate number, XX8888, escorted by cars of his security detail, left the Wiltspoon Hotel.
“Where to, Mr. Zachary?”
Behind the wheel, the driver asked.
Zachary took a look at the time, and it was only half past nine. Since it was still early for him, he gave it a thought and replied, ‘To Brynfield.”
Back at his barren, warmthless, vacant home, Zachary sat on the sofa and disinterestedly watched TV while waiting for his wife, who had not come home despite leaving the hotel earlier.

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...
