Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 4463

Chapter 4463 
Serenity’s eyes shifted between the two of them before she suddenly dropped a bombshell: “Just go get a marriage certificate already. You’re already calling him your husband—why not make it official?” 
Both River and Romina turned to look at Serenity in shock, their expressions identical at that moment. 
Then, they looked at each other again. 
“What are you staring at?” Romina snapped at River. 
River shot back, “If you weren’t staring at me, how would you know I’m looking at you? And what are you looking at me for, anyway? What’s so great about you? You’re just an old aunt.” Romina fired back, “Old aunt? I’m still young, thank you very much. You’re the old man here— you’re in your thirties!” 
Serenity chimed in, “Old men are a perfect match for old aunts.” 
The two turned to look at her again. 
River sighed. “Sister-in-law, stop messing with us. There’s no way I’m marrying her.” Romina crossed her arms. “You act like I want to marry you. I’d rather stay single forever than marry someone like you.” 
Serenity couldn’t help laughing. 
In her experience, people who said things like that usually ended up slapping themselves in the face later on. 
She thought back to her own husband, Zachary. He used to insist he didn’t know what jealousy felt like—but now, he was jealous all the time. 
Especially when it came to Shawn. 
Still, it proved men had sharp instincts. She had known Shawn for years and never realized he had feelings for her sister. Once she found out, she quickly distanced herself. 
Now Shawn was married with kids and living a happy life. 
And after that, Zachary stopped seeing him as a rival in love. 
“Miss Lafond, right?” Serenity said warmly. “I’m River’s sister-in-law. These two kids are mine—they’re his niece and nephew, not what you think. Since you’re here, why don’t you sit down and have a cup of coffee? It’s normal to have competition in business. But outside of that, you can still be friends.” 
She thought about how her husband and her cousin Clive had been relatives for years, yet still operated in the same industry. They rarely collaborated because of their family ties, but now and then, if there were smaller projects they could work on together, they would. 
When they weren’t talking business, Zachary treated Clive like any cousin—friendly and warm. 
“Sister-in-law,” River grumbled under his breath, “she slapped me. My face is still red and swollen. It hurts.” 
And now his sister-in-law wasn’t even on his side—she was inviting Romina to coffee. 
Whose side was she on? 
Romina felt slightly awkward at Serenity’s kindness. Her tone softened a little. “Thanks, but I’ll pass on the coffee. I’d lose my appetite drinking it in front of River.” River smirked. “Then you should stare at me all day. That way, you’ll never feel hungry again. You could become immortal.” 
Romina scowled. 
River added, “Romina, you purposely ruined my reputation, made everyone think I was a cheating jerk, and even took the chance to hit me. Don’t you think you owe me an apology?” Romina took a deep breath and said, “Fine. I apologize for slapping you. But don’t expect anything more. You still snatched my business, and I’m not done with you yet.” 

“Snatched? You’ve taken plenty of my business before. Did I ever try to settle the score with you? Miss Lafond, you’re really petty. Honestly, kind of hypocritical.” 
Romina shot back, “So it’s fine for you to take my business, but not the other way around?” She opened her mouth to argue more but had no real comeback.
