Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 4480


 

Married at First Sight [On 
Chapter 4480. 
River respected his older brother so much, he was also kind and respectful to his sister-in-law. 
Donovan asked, “Sounds like River’s family is pretty solid. Are they from Wiltspoon?”. 
“Yeah, Wiltspoon. That’s like two or three thousand kilometers from Eaglioncile. Super far.”. 
Romina had never been to Wiltspoon. 
The Lafond family didn’t do business there, and she was too busy to go there just for fun. 
Donovan suddenly had the urge to investigate River’s family background. 
Romina could guess exactly what he was thinking. 
“Don’t bother, Brother,” she said firmly. “There’s zero chance of anything happening between River and me. You don’t need to send someone to Wiltspoon to dig into his background. We’ve been at odds for years. Neither of us will ever back down or give in.”. 
“If we ever got together, we’d be arguing all day—at work, at home. I don’t want to live in constant chaos.”. 
After a moment, she added, “I’ll ask Grandpa if Maddox Johnstone is still single. I’ve met him a few times. Grandpa thinks highly of him and says we’d be a good match. He’s my senior, and we actually get along. If he’s single, I’ll give it a shot. That way you won’t have to worry about my love life anymore.”. 
“I’m serious—I don’t want to become an old maid and give you a headache.”. 
She figured if trying things with Maddox kept her brother from pushing River on her, it was worth a shot. 
Among all the young men Grandpa had introduced to her, Maddox had left the best impression. 
Donovan was tempted to say something but held back. River hadn’t even realized his own feelings for Romina yet, let alone hers. 
Letting Romina interact with Maddox might trigger something in River—make him recognize his feelings and start pursuing her. 
Donovan would love to watch that unfold. Two sworn enemies slowly falling for each other? It would be quite the spectacle. 
Love and hate—so closely intertwined. 
Who knew what the future held? 
Not every colleague is a mortal enemy. If two people fall in love, the rivalry disappears. That would be good for both the Lafond and Yantail families. Better to gain an ally than add another enemy. 
Romina caught her brother’s strange expression. “What’s with that look on your face? You’re acting weird.”. 
“It’s nothing,” Donovan said quickly. “Just thinking. It’s your life—you decide. As long as you’re sure you won’t regret it.”. 
“Well, get back to work. I’ve got a pile of things to finish.”. 
Donovan had only stopped by because he heard she’d returned to the office with a sour mood. 
He left quickly after that. 
Romina turned back to her work, fully focused. 
She had to work late tonight. All thanks to River.Well, she had to take some of the blame too. If she hadn’t been so impulsive, she wouldn’t have gotten into this mess with him. 
From now on, she decided, she’d pretend not to know River whenever they crossed paths. She’d avoid him at all costs. 
No more incidents like today. 
At the same time, River had arranged for his sister-in-law and her two kids to stay comfortably. Her bodyguard and the children’s nanny had also arrived from the airport and were brought to River’s home. 
He asked the butler to assign rooms and arrange dinner. Then he turned to his nephew and asked gently, “Hey buddy, do you want to eat here at Uncle River’s place tonight or go out?”.
