Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228

“What did Serenity do to keep you from going back to Brynfield?”
“Nothing.”
“Zack, I watched you grow up. In this family, the person who knows you best is me. If nothing happened between you two, you wouldn’t have come back here to stay. What exactly did Serenity do? It’s fine even if you don’t want to tell me. I can find out when I go to her shop later and ask her.”
Zachary stopped and looked at his grandmother, feeling a little angry. “Nana, we agreed that you won’t interfere in anything after I get married to Serenity.” “I’m not interfering, I’m just concerned and want to know what happened to you two. You’re proud and egotistical, but you pretend to be poor and marry Serenity. She doesn’t know your true identity at all. Even if you’re wrong, you won’t easily bow your head and apologize. When it has come to this point, you need me to be the mediator to help you ease your frozen relationship.”
Old Mrs. York indeed promised Zachary that she would not interfere in the married couple’s lives after he married Serenity However, she kept an eye on the young couple’s every move. She knew everything, from how the young couple forgot about each other in the beginning, to how they got along and how Zachary gradually came to care about Serenity. She even patted herself on the back, praising herself for her good eyesight. The young couple had developed as per her expectations.
Surprisingly, the couple separated before she could feel smug about it
The old lady was anxious.
She was still waiting to hold a great-grandchild. “It’s just a little misunderstanding. It’s not a big problem, so you don’t have to worry. You don’t need to ask Serenity either. I’ll go back to Brynfield in a few days.”
Zachary remained reluctant in telling her the real reason. After the talk with Josh, Zachary vaguely felt that he had acted out of jealousy.
Josh also said that he was starting to care about Serenity.
However, he refused to admit it and could not put down his ego. Just because Serenity ate with Shawn, he suspected her of cheating on him, so he felt humiliated.
In reality, they got married in secret, so not many people knew they were husband and wife.
Putting aside whether Serenity and Shawn were innocent, and even if they did Zachary wrong, outsiders were not aware of his relationship with Serenity, so how would he be humiliated?
He got angry, questioned Serenity, and only believed what he saw with his own eyes because he developed a desire to control
her.
He had a domineering nature. Once he started to care about a woman, he would not want to see her eating with other men even if her best friend was present.
He wanted Serenity’s thoughtfulness and bright smile to belong to him only, but she was not aware of this. He was stubborn and refused to admit his mistake, so the couple ended up in this situation. They deleted and blocked each other’s contacts, lived separately, and were now in a cold war.
“Are you sure there’s no problem?”
“Yes.”
Old Mrs. York laughed. “Fine, I believe you. Since you say there’s no problem, then there’s no problem. Even if I go find my granddaughter-in-law, I won’t ask her so as to save you some dignity.” Zachary’s handsome face was slightly embarrassed, but he said stubbornly in a low voice, “I don’t need you to help me save my dignity.”
She smiled and patted her grandson’s shoulder. “Zack, you’re a man, so you must be able to give and take. Besides, you and Serenity are husband and wife. You’ll be spending the rest of your lives together. Is there any hurdle out there that is impossible to overcome?”
Zachary was silent for a moment before saying, “I signed a six -month agreement with Serenity. If we don’t fall in love with each other within these six months, we’ll get a divorce. You don’t have to think that she got the short end of the stick. I didn’t touch her, so she’s still pure.” At most, he would kiss her once or twice when she teased him and he could not stand it. He only forcefully kissed her once that night.
He just kissed her small mouth, so it would not have much impact on her remarriage.
“We got married in secret, so not many people know about it. The damage to her after the divorce would be minimized too. Also, I promised to give her the house in Brynfield, as well as the national MPV. I won’t make her leave without a penny to her name.” Old Mrs. York thought, “This little sh*t!!
