Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 4467

 
Chapter

River was at a loss for words. 
Even though he’d lived in Eaglioncile for years and owned a house there, he barely knew anything about the local attractions. He simply didn’t have the time to explore. 
He’d heard about a few places here and there, but he had no idea if they were actually fun— he’d never been. 
Romina said, “Baby and Belle are still so young, and a lot of places aren’t really suited for them. I thought we could take them to Ocean World and the zoo. And besides those, maybe the amusement park. Kids love amusement parks. Even if there are rides they can’t go on, there’s still a lot they can do.” 
Before River could respond, Maverick chimed in, “We don’t want to go to the amusement park.” 
They already had one at home—and a huge one at Wildridge Manor. Whenever there was a break, he and his siblings would play there. He was over it. 
But Ocean World? That sounded exciting. 
He vaguely remembered going there once or twice with his parents, but Belle had never been. 
Romina looked surprised and smiled. “Sweetie, amusement parks are fun! A lot of kids would love to play with you there.” 
“I don’t want to go. I’ve been already. It’s not fun anymore,” Maverick replied. Since he’d flown all this way with his mom, he wanted to try things they didn’t have back in Wiltspoon. 
His parents often took them to the nearby amusement park on weekends. But the rides were just like the ones at home—only now they had to wait in long lines and pay for it. The ride itself barely lasted two minutes. 
It wasn’t about money—the Yorks didn’t lack that. But Maverick couldn’t help comparing. 

At home, everything was free, no lines, and always full of family. He had siblings, cousins, and friends to play with—like Uncle Josh’s son, his aunt’s kid, and others. It was always lively and fun. 
He’d never lacked company, so crowded amusement parks didn’t appeal to him. He preferred quieter, more peaceful places. 
That might’ve been something he inherited from his dad. 
Zachary didn’t like crowds either. He valued calm and space. Before he got married, he avoided banquets because he hated the noise. After marriage, he went more often—mostly to show off his love for Serenity and to rile up the single elites. 
But even then, the couple never brought their kids to those events. 
The Yorks were very protective of their children. They made sure their faces weren’t captured by the media. Whenever they went out, they’d throw off the press with distractions, then quietly head out dressed like regular people. It gave the kids freedom and privacy. 
The kids would only be shown to the public when they grew up and chose to enter the business world. 
Romina was momentarily speechless. 
She turned to Serenity with a smile. “Sister Seren, you usually take the kids to the playground, right? This is the first time I’ve met a kid who doesn’t like the amusement park.” 
Kids Maverick’s age were usually full of energy and eager to play. 
Serenity nodded. “Yeah, my husband and I take the kids out on weekends to relax.”
