Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Serenity had no idea about the interaction between Zachary and Grandma May. It was a surprise running into Zachary at Beans and Cream, but putting two and two together, Serenity figured out why Zachary ended up there.

What was the reason behind Nana‘s actions?

Was it so Zachary would get the wrong idea about her?

It was not as if Serenity was on a blind date. It was Jasmine‘s date. Even if Zachary saw her…

Harking back to the scene at the coffee house, Serenity noticed the tension in Zachary‘s face more than ever. Although Serenity tended to be slow at picking up cues, she could tell that Zachary took things the wrong way. Most importantly, Jasmine was at the loo, leaving Serenity with Mr. Bill by herself.

It was a good thing Jasmine emerged from the loo right after. Her timely clarification loosened the tension on his clenched jaw.

Serenity was clueless as to why Nana would do such a thing. She might have saved Nana‘s life, but she expected nothing in return. It was Nana who remained forever grateful and tried to give Serenity the world. By right, Nana would not do anything to hurt her.

Bearing more questions than answers, Serenity returned home and sat on the balcony swing. Without turning on the lights, she quietly observed the night sky.

Zachary only got home at midnight.

Serenity was asleep on the swing by the time he reached home. Oblivious to that, Zachary assumed Serenity was in bed since her bedroom door was closed and the house was in darkness.

Taking a seat on the sofa, Zachary turned on the TV. He rarely watched TV but could use some background noise. He adjusted the volume to the lowest.

He did not want to wake Serenity from her sleep.

Ring, ring, ring...

With his phone ringing, Zachary looked at the incoming call. It was Callum.

“Callum.”

“Are you alright, Zack?”

Callum‘s concerned voice came through from the other end.
