Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 712

Chapter 712

Since no children were in the picture yet, the couple could enjoy the finer things in life.

The expenses would become costly when the family grew. It would take a lot of money to raise children.

“I have an income, and I’m part of the family. I’ll pay for some of the household expenses. Save some money and clear the mortgage early if you can. At least then. you’ll have spare cash once the house loan is out of the way.”

Serenity did not propose chipping in on the mortgage.

Zachary bought the villa before they were married, and he was still paying the mortgage like Hank.

Even though Serenity and Zachary were no longer married in name and could not be in a better place in their marriage, Serenity did not want to end up on the same path as her sister. It was his house, and she would not covet it nor help with the mortgage.

What if she and Zachary were not meant to be? The divorce would be ugly with the division of assets and quarrels.

It was better to keep their assets apart right from the start.

Propping his chin on her shoulder, Zachary affectionately said, “Don’t worry about the mortgage, Seren. Although I don’t have a lot in savings, I can manage the payments. Besides, New Year is coming. I’ll get a year–end bonus. The bonus is pretty good for senior executives.

“I told you when I married you that I will provide for you. I won’t go halves with you.

“Although I’m still paying for the villa, I put down a hefty sum for the down payment. The mortgage fee isn’t too bad. Don’t forget that your husband makes millions a year.”

Serenity pried open his hand over her and turned around to face him squarely. She said, “So long as you know what you’re doing.”

Being in the high–income bracket, Zachary was used to dining at high–end restaurants and paying the premium price for things.

She had pointed it out to him. It was not her place to speak more on the matter if he did not want to listen.

“I’m going back to our house in Brynfield when you get to work later. I’m more comfortable living there. It’s much more accessible.”

Zachary probably would not buy a property in Brynfield if it were not for their whirlwind marriage.
