Serenity got up from the swing and walked to the balcony railing to sign her name on the contract against the hard concrete.
Zachary took out an ink pad for her to seal the agreement with a thumbprint.
The couple kept one copy of the contract each.
Serenity folded the contract nonchalantly and stuffed it in her pocket.
Zachary was irked by her incuriosity , but who was he to judge? He wrote the contract after all. Even though the demands outlined were detrimental and worked to her disadvantage , Serenity did not try to add a clause to get more than what was already stated.
“You had a tiring day. Get some rest.”
“You too.”
Serenity said with a smile. “I‘m going to sit here for a bit and enjoy the flowers. It has always been my dream to have a balcony filled with plants. Now that my dream has come true, I just can‘t get enough of the view.”
She did not seem to hold the contract against him at all.
Did she marry him without a hidden agenda? Was he just
being paranoid?
How else could he explain her unruffled, unfazed, and even happy behavior?
Zachary quietly stared at her for a while before leaving her to be.
He grabbed his car keys and went out the door. Serenity‘s mellow voice was heard from the balcony “Are you going out, Mr. York?”
“Yeah. Don‘t stay up and wait for me. Just leave the door unlocked for me.”
Serenity grinned. “I have never stayed up and waited for you.”
Zachary was stumped.
Her reply was a slap in his face.
Flustered, Zachary made a quick exit.

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...
