Chapter 7
It was a façade to fool his wife. What was his wife called again?
“Oh, right. What’s the name of the missus again?”
Zachary could not be bothered to dig out the marriage license. Oh, it was likely Nana did not return it to him after he showed her. Anyhow, the marriage license was not with him.
The bodyguard replied, “… The young missus is Serenity Hunt. She’s twenty-five this year. You might want to remember that.”
Mr. Zachary had an exceptional memory, but when it came to people who he was not fond of, he jammed them out.
This was especially true with women. He probably would not know the lady’s name even if they met every day.
“Sure. Got it.”
Zachary responded offhandedly.
Judging by Zachary’s tone, the bodyguard knew he would not be bothered to learn the young missus’ name.
Refusing to waste more brain cells on Serenity, Zachary slumped against the seat and rested his eyes.
The journey from Wiltspoon Hotel to Brynfield took ten minutes.
With the luxury sedan convoy stopping at the neighborhood gate, Zachary proceeded to drive the national MPV into the neighborhood.
Although he could not remember his bride’s name, Zachary was not going to forget about the property he bought.
Soon, he arrived at the entrance to his home and took notice of a pair of familiar slippers at the door. They seemed to be his.
Why were they thrown out?
It must be Serenity!
Doing a slow burn, Zachary saw tension in his chiseled face. He was grateful to the girl for saving Nana at first, but all that good impression was lost following Nana’s constant praising of her and nagging to marry her.
Now Zachary believed Serenity was a conniving person.
Although he gave in to Nana to marry Serenity in the end, Zachary drew the line there. He planned to keep his identity hidden after marriage to be the judge of Serenity’s character. If Serenity passed the test, he would accept her as his wife forever.
If he were to find out that she was a scheming woman, then she should get what was coming.
No good ever came to those who played games with Zachary.
Whipping out his keys, Zachary tried to unlock the door, but his attempt was futile. He was less than happy when he realized that the woman had locked him out.
This was his house!
He let her in, and yet she locked her out!
Seeing red, Zachary lifted his foot and kicked the door. Bang!
Zachary was also trying to get Serenity on the phone.
Because of the earlier incident, Zachary saved Serenity’s contact and added the spousal title for a reminder. He would be d*mned if he could remember who Serenity was for once instead of deleting her contact again.
Serenity was startled awake by the kick on the door.

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...
