Chapter 52 “Zachary isn‘t someone she can handle. Try and get her to move on. You don‘t see other young women hanging around Zachary other than his family. He‘s a heartless man. Why can‘t Elisa listen to reason?”
Clive threw in the towel on his sister.
“I‘m too busy to deal with her now. Honey, I‘ll leave Elisa in your hands.”
“Carry on with your work. I‘ll pick Elisa up now and take her to go shopping with Mom. Mom‘s been feeling down lately.”
Clive‘s wife, Alice, had a great relationship with her mother–in–law. Seeing that her mother–in–law was feeling blue, Alice persuaded her to go out and get some sunshine. A bit of retail therapy might do her good.
Clive fell silent.
He knew the reason behind his mother‘s melancholy. There had not been any news about his aunt. It was the one thing Mom could never stop talking about.
Clive‘s mother, Audrey, grew up in an orphanage. Her parents passed away when Audrey was young, survived by Audrey and her sister who was four years younger. The sisters were then sent to the orphanage. Later, a wealthy
couple came to the orphanage with the interest to adopt a child.
The couple took to Audrey‘s younger sister. At the time, Audrey was eight years old while her sister was merely four. Although reluctant to part with her sister, Audrey knew she was in better hands with the couple. Hence, Audrey agreed to let the couple adopt her sister.
The sisters took a picture as a memento before the fateful separation. It had been decades since they saw each other again.
As she came of age, Audrey left the orphanage and put her wits and skills to the test, working her way up the corporate ladder. She earned the boss’ trust and confidence in return. Plus, she caught the eye of the boss‘ eldest son. Finally, she married into a wealthy family and became Mrs. Stone.

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Please use the English names as it is difficult to read and connect....
I am very greatful of your hard work in translating the novel in English, is there any chance you could use the character’s name in English please, it’s hard to follow the story with Chinese names. Thanks...
Please use correct names and watch the repeating of pages....
Thank you for the story, its going on well, however the changing of names somehow makes it difficult to follow. Even learning the new ones that you have tried to match, it is extremely difficult to follow and enjoy the drama while trying to go back to rechecking who we are talking about. The title is still Married at first sight (Serenity and Zachary) but they no longer exist in the whole picture. You created a dynamic community which I am sure everyone felt they lived and travelled with. We appreciate all the effort and your insight. I am very grateful for this novel is very captivating....
Please continue using Zachary,. Serenity,Duncan, Liberty etc . You jumped 30 updates and changed names where I'm unable to follow the story and losing interest. This is a great disservice to your loyal readers....
Changing names ruins the whole story. Whoever heard of such a thing....
Please use the old names, the new names are too confusing...
