“Don’t sleep yet. Put ice on your face before going to sleep. Your face is so red and swollen. Even if you fall asleep, I will put ice on you, which will affect your rest.”
Pedro knew that Kathryn was embarrassed. He kissed her red and swollen face and said distressingly, “I am yours, and I will always be yours. I just enjoyed it for a while, and now I’m embarrassed.”
“Who said I was embarrassed? I’m very thick-skinned. I’m not embarrassed. You also said that you are mine. What’s wrong with me kissing you? Even if I sleep with you, you can’t resist me.”
Kathryn refused to admit that she was embarrassed.
Pedro took some ice and applied it to her face. He smiled as he listened to her words, “You are welcome to sleep with me anytime, but it would be better if you could inform me in advance so that I can clean up before you enjoy it.”
Kathryn said, “I’ll have to stay away from you next time. Both sides of my face are swollen.” Kathryn was silent for a moment, then said, “I was the one who betrayed Mom first. She has a reason to be angry. Even though I think I did the right thing, to her, it was a betrayal. If it wasn’t for me and it was Shiloh, her conspiracy plan might have been half successful. So, if she wants to teach me a lesson, I’ll let her do it, just as long as she doesn’t kill me.
Apart from other things, she is no different from an ordinary mother. She can be extremely ruthless to other people’s children and kill them without blinking an eye, but she always loves her own children. She said that if I were not her biological daughter, I would not have seen the sun rise today.”
Kathryn looked out the window and added, “There is no sun today. I still haven’t seen the sun rise today. I told my mom not to hit me in the face next time she hits me.”
“And later!”
Pedro cried out softly.
Seeing her beaten this time, Pedro felt so heartbroken that he almost had a conflict with Clarissa because of her.
Clarissa insisted that Pedro leave, and he had no choice but to endure it to avoid a real conflict with her.
Kathryn smiled and said, “Not only will there be a next time, but there may be countless times. As long as I know her conspiracy, I can’t just do nothing, unless she hides it from me.”
After a pause, she looked at Pedro and said, “Now that you are by my side, it is difficult for her to hide what she did from me. She just doesn’t hit me in the face. If she cripples me, I won’t be able to marry a son-in-law, and I won’t be able to give birth to a daughter, so there will be no successor, and that’s not what she wants to see.”

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...
