Kathryn laughed in surprise. “You’re blushing! I thought nothing could faze you. What did my mother say to make you blush like that? Did she promise you a beautiful woman for helping her drug me?”
Pedro replied, “That’s what Madam Farrell said, but it wasn’t an arrangement—it was an entrustment.”
Kathryn’s smile faded. “Did my mother really say that?”
Pedro nodded, his eyes serious. “Madam Farrell said you and I are of similar age, and I’ll be yours for life. If you care for me, she’d allow us to be together. If she can’t pass the family leadership to you, she asked me to take you away with the money she set aside for you. She said we should go somewhere no one knows us, start over, and be happy together. She made me promise never to let you down or let you suffer.”
Pedro took Kathryn’s hand, their fingers interlocking. “Miss, I’ll never let you down—not in this life. No matter what you think of me, I’ll stay by your side and make sure you never suffer.”
“Madam Farrell thinks I’m a good match because I have no family, so you won’t have to worry about in-laws. She said you’re stubborn and might struggle with that. She also said that, despite your differences, you’re still her daughter. Even though you’ve hurt her, she wants to pave the way for your future.”
Pedro’s voice softened as he added, “She also complained that you didn’t want to settle down or get married. She said if you needed a successor, you could just find a man, get pregnant, and then get rid of him afterward.”
At this, Pedro looked at Kathryn with a pitiful expression, as if he felt uncertain about his place in her life.
Kathryn laughed, pulling her hand away. She playfully pinched his face and ear. “Don’t look at me like that! I haven’t even slept with you yet. You’re acting like I’ve wronged you.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
What happened? No updates after 3650....
Y all of a sudden there is no updates? Sometime they update 7 chapters, sometimes 2 and sometimes none… 😞...
It says 7 chapters a day. Some days we don't even get 1 chapter....
Yayyy!!!! New chapters. Love, love this novel....
Been hanging for a few weeks now are we gonna finish the chapters as something happened to the author...
Do a search in Yahoo for Aekosa Married at First Sight they have the updated chapters. There is a lot of ads also it is an actual pdf so a little different type of reading....
There was a site that updated this story almost every day. This site no longer offers the book for free. It also seems that it translated it in different languages. It appears all the free sites for this novel have stopped being updated since this one particular site now requires a paid subscription. I suspect all the free sites got their updates from there. Good Novel owns the rights to publish the translation but they are still behind. Also their site you have to pay. It used to be that you could find multiple sites with this story but that no longer seems to be the case. The site that has a subscription has been updating it with more chapters. It is now at 3632. We may not see additional updates until Good Novel catches up to the chapter numbers....
Guys, let’s continue the story by ourselves… let’s imagine what would happen in jensburg.. once they all reach there??...
I really hope that the author writing this novel is alive and well.... There hasn't been an update in days. I hope nothing terrible has happened...
This site obviously doesn't read the comme ts. If they did, I would hope they would have the decency to at least provide an explanation to its readers....
