Chapter 31 On the other hand, Zachary spoke to Mr. Lewis on behalf of Liberty and probably put in the good word for her too, so Mr. Lewis knocked a few thousand dollars off.
Of course, nine thousand bucks were a great deal of money to Liberty now. It would serve as a painful lesson to keep her eyes peeled on the street and stay away from luxury sedans!
“Is your husband coming back soon?” asked Liberty.
“Yeah. He‘ll be back tomorrow.”
“Great. My husband and I will be there ahead of time. Are you cooking? I‘ll help out.”
Having lived independently with her sister for many years, Liberty had so much on the ball from her career, and social life, to domestic life. Now that she was held down by a child and without an income, her husband pressured her to become a housewife.
The sisters exchanged small talk on the phone before ending the call.
“Mr. York, do you work late every day?”
“Why?”
“It‘s almost the weekend that Nana and your parents will
come over for dinner. We need to spruce up the place. I‘m thinking of looking at furniture in the next few days and getting what we need.”
Zachary went quiet.
His job took up a lot of his time. It was hard to find time in his busy schedule to shop for furniture with her.

Faced with his silence, Serenity showed understanding. “I can get them myself if you don‘t have the time.” Zachary replied, “Alright. You‘re the lady of the house. You can make decisions over household affairs. Just let me in on the bigger things.”
He had no time to spare for every single trivial matter of the house.
“Sure. I‘ll let Jasmine know that I won‘t be coming in for work today. I‘ll get the stuff.”

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...
