Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 4587

Chapter 4587 
“Kids are like that. We were wild and caused trouble too when we were young—it’s just their nature,” Zachary said. “As long as they don’t get into serious trouble, it’s fine. Causing a little chaos at home is normal.” 
He never tried to suppress his children. He believed in letting them be themselves and giving them space to grow naturally. 
Josh laughed. “My parents still spoil Milo like crazy. Zachary, you have no idea how strong the bond between grandparents and grandkids is. When I used to mess up as a kid, first my dad would spank me, then my mom would take a turn, and then they’d team up. I got disciplined all the way until my teens. Once I got older and more sensible, they switched to lecturing instead of hitting.” 
Who would’ve thought his parents—polished and elegant in public—used to be so strict when it came to disciplining him? 
Zachary chuckled. “Your worst beating was probably during New Year’s. Your parents were still asleep when you snuck into their room with a string of firecrackers. You lit them and threw them onto their bed. They were scared half to death. The quilt was full of burn holes.” 
“You almost burned the house down. Tell me, did you not deserve that beating?” 
Josh’s face turned red as he laughed. “I barely even remember why I got beat up that day, but you remember every detail. Your memory’s better than mine.” 
“Kids are like that,” Zachary said. “They remember getting punished but forget why.” 
“You shouldn’t blame Milo too much. Like father, like son. You were a handful, and now he’s following in your footsteps. Just now, River said my son, Baby, is the most mischievous when he’s around his cousins. Apparently, he’s got even more tricks than I did. The student has outdone the master.” 
Josh laughed. “We were all like that once. It helps us understand our kids better. Don’t blame them—blame us for passing on those wild genes.” 
Zachary shut down his computer, stood up, and said, “Alright, let’s go eat. Serenity’s coming home the day after tomorrow, but she’ll need time to rest when she gets back.” 
“I get it, I get it,” Josh replied with a teasing grin. 

Zachary gave him a playful kick, which Josh quickly dodged. 
The two men walked out of the office, joking and laughing. 
But once they stepped outside, their expressions shifted. 
Josh was still his usual approachable self, smiling as always. 
But Zachary’s demeanor changed completely. His handsome features grew cold and serious, and he radiated a commanding presence. As the father of two, he couldn’t afford to let his guard down in public. He maintained his aloof, no-nonsense image—and always brought a security team with him. 
The older he got, the more commanding he became. 
He wasn’t that old yet—but he was mature, masculine, and still drew admiration from plenty of young women. 
Even girls in their late teens and early twenties were bold enough to try pursuing him. Of course, reality would eventually slap them awake. 
Zachary York was famously devoted to his wife. No one except Serenity would ever experience his tenderness. 
When love rivals showed up to compete, Serenity didn’t even bother responding. She didn’t consider them a threat. To her, it was a waste of time. 
No one could take Zachary from her. 
Just minutes after they left York Corporation, their convoy was forced to a sudden stop. 
A bold young woman had run into the street, arms spread wide, blocking the lead bodyguard car.
