Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 3961

Married At First Sight Chapter 3961-3965 
Chapter 3961 
     
The old lady and her granddaughters-in-law stayed at Regent Residences, while Zachary, Callum, and Kevin remained at home, waiting for their wives to return. As the night grew darker, Zachary couldn’t help but call Serenity. 
“Seren, why haven’t you and Grandma come back yet?” he asked, concern evident in his voice. 
“Honey, we’re not coming back tonight,” Serenity replied gently. “Grandma said we’ll head back after breakfast tomorrow. For now, we’re staying at your place in the Regent Residences.” 
Zachary sighed. “…I had a bad feeling when Grandma insisted on taking you all out.” Sure enough, Grandma had “kidnapped” their wives. 
Serenity chuckled. “You should relax and go to bed early. We’re just singing right now. Hayden’s got quite the talent for it.” 
Zachary softened but still cautioned her, “Don’t stay up too late, especially since you’re pregnant. You need to rest.” 
“I know, I will,” Serenity assured him. “That’s all for now. Let’s talk tomorrow.” 
“Alright,” Zachary said. “By the way, Sonny came over this afternoon and asked about you. I told him you were out shopping, but he seemed disappointed you didn’t wait for him to come back. Did you miss him?” 
Serenity smiled warmly. “He called me later and asked me to buy more fireworks. He’s excited to watch the fireworks tomorrow night.” 
Fireworks weren’t allowed in the city, but the York family’s villa had a sprawling lawn where it was safe to set them off. Every year, they celebrated with a spectacular fireworks display at the villa. 
Serenity reminisced about her first New Year with the York family after marrying Zachary. Back then, Zachary had deceived her into thinking they were going to the old family house instead of Wildridge Manor. Everyone in the York family had played along with the charade. When Serenity discovered the truth later, she was furious—not just because Zachary lied but because he had kept it from her for nearly a year. It was only when she confronted him that he finally confessed, which only made her anger more intense. 
Interrupting her thoughts, Zachary added, “Don’t worry about the fireworks. I brought back plenty this time—an entire truckload. I promise you’ll get to enjoy them.” 
Serenity laughed. “That’s more than enough! I already watch more fireworks than anyone else every year.” 
The York family spared no expense. Their fireworks were always the biggest and most beautiful, enough to light up the night for three days straight. Serenity loved the dazzling displays, even though fireworks burned out so quickly. This year, Zachary had outdone himself, buying far more than usual, according to Sam. 
Rowan had even teased that in previous years, he’d begged Zachary for more fireworks, but Zachary always declined. Now, with Serenity around, Zachary was practically ready to rent an entire fireworks factory. 
Rowan had learned early on that Serenity was the key to softening Zachary’s tough demeanor. Anytime Zachary gave him a hard time, Rowan would run to Serenity to “complain,” forcing Zachary to relent. 
Serenity yawned. “I’m feeling sleepy now. I’m going to take a shower and head to bed. Goodnight, husband. I love you.” 
She whispered the last part softly, not wanting her sisters-in-law to overhear and tease her. 
After hanging up, Hayden finished her song, and Serenity clapped enthusiastically. 
“That was amazing!” Serenity said with genuine admiration. 
Camryn admitted she hadn’t sung in a long time and didn’t feel confident, while Serenity, being pregnant, said she didn’t have the energy to join in. To everyone’s surprise, the old lady stepped up and sang two songs. 
The three sisters-in-law were amazed. The old lady’s songs were old classics they’d never heard before, but her performance was captivating. 
“Grandma, you’re incredible,” one of them said, awe-struck. 
The old lady smiled modestly. “When I was younger, I used to sneak into dance halls as part of my missions. You had to have a few tricks up your sleeve to avoid being caught.” 
Then, noticing the late hour, she added, “It’s getting late. Let’s all get some rest. Seren, especially—you’ve been up with me all evening, and you need to take care of yourself. 
Go get some sleep.” 
The women nodded in agreement and headed off to rest, bringing the lively evening to a close.
