Accustomed to the convenience of five-star transportation, Zachary was exhausted from the two hour shopping as Serenity‘s personal porter despite taking self–defense classes and keeping a fitness routine.
He would rather be buried under a pile of work and meetings than go shopping with a woman. As the car came to a stop, Serenity got a call from Grandma May before she stepped out of the car.
“Are you home, Serenity? We‘re downstairs.”
Serenity replied with a smile, “We just returned from the market, Nana. Wait for us. We‘ll be right there.”
“Did you go to the market with Zack?”
That put a smile on Nana‘s face. Nana thought to herself, ‘ To think my callous and stuck–up grandson put aside his pride and go shopping with Serenity at the market.‘
Since he wanted to play the pauper, Zack might as well step into the shoes of an ordinary person.
“Yeah. We went to get groceries.”
“Zack has always been busy with work, so he‘s never been to the market. It‘s a good thing to bring him around.
Serenity, make Zack do the heavy lifting. He‘s strong. Don’t tire yourself.”
Zachary began to doubt whether Serenity was Grandma May‘s birth grandchild instead. As Serenity got down from the car, she held the phone with one hand and opened the rear door with another. Popping her head in, she grabbed a foldable wagon and gestured for Zachary to unfold it.
“Don‘t worry, Nana. I won‘t exert myself.”
Since the wagon was not big enough to carry all the groceries, Zachary was left to haul the rest. Serenity took Nana‘s advice and had it easy throughout their walk home.
“Nana, we‘re coming right now.”

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...
