Holden continued, “Now that we see you are fine, we are relieved. From now on, when your mother asks you to eat or drink, don’t touch anything. She is a very vicious person. She even harmed her own sister who raised her. She only loves herself. As long as you obey her, she’ll show some motherly love. But if you go against her, she’ll be ruthless.”
Holden criticized Clarissa in front of his children, though what he said was true. Clarissa was selfish and only cared about herself.
“Dad, I’m fine. You and my brothers can go back. Dad, take care of your health and don’t bother Mom unless necessary,” Kathryn said.
She knew her parents were now her enemies. They stayed together because they were too old to divorce, and Holden didn’t want to give up the benefits the Farrell family brought to the Janzen family.
Holden felt he had sacrificed his marriage and freedom for his family’s benefits and didn’t want to lose everything in his old age. So, this was how the old couple lived.
“I know. I won’t bother her even if I need something. She’s a crazy woman. Her beloved man is back, and she doesn’t care about me anymore,” Holden said sourly.
“Dad!” Kathryn called out seriously.
Holden stopped talking.
After a few minutes of silence, he said, “Kathryn, I made some nourishing soup for you. Drink it while it’s hot. It’s cold today, so keep warm and wear extra layers.”

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...
