Chapter 8
It was hard to shed the pounds.
Serenity smiled. “You’re fit, Mr. York.
“So… I guess I’ll go back to bed?”
“Sure,” Zachary replied.
“Goodnight.”
Serenity wished him goodnight before turning on her heel to leave.
“Hang on, Se… Serenity.”
Zachary called after her.
Pausing, Serenity turned her head around and asked, “Yes?”
Zachary looked at her and said, “Please don’t walk around in your pajamas next time.”
She was not wearing a bra underneath her pajamas. Unfortunately, his eagle eyes picked up on that.
They were husband and wife anyway, but what if someone else caught her in her pajamas?
The last thing he wanted was for other men to see through his wife’s body.
Red in the face, Serenity bolted back to her room and slammed the door shut.
Zachary, “…”
She was embarrassed before he could feel awkward for her.
Zachary took a moment to sit before heading to the master bedroom. He bought the furnished house at the last minute. It was move-in ready.
Nevertheless, his bedroom had not been sorted out due to the rush.
He was quite impressed that Serenity knew how to take a hint instead of brazenly demanding to sleep in the same room.
Thank goodness fulfillment of marital obligations was not asked of him.
The wee hours of the morning went by uneventfully for the married couple.
The next day, Serenity woke up at six o’clock in the morning as usual.
Before, she would make breakfast and tidy up the place after she got up. If time permitted, she would help her sister hang the laundry out to dry.
Serenity had taken the role of a nanny in the years she stayed at Liberty’s place, mainly because she was trying to lighten the load off her sister. However, her brother-in-law took it for granted and ordered her around like a nanny.
She woke up today and stared at the unfamiliar bedroom that she spent the night in. As memories flooded back into her mind, Serenity murmured, “I must be half-asleep to think I’m still at my sister’s place. This is my home. I don’t have to get up now.”
Serenity laid back down to return to dreamland.
It was a shame that she could not adjust her body clock though. Serenity could not sleep in even if she tried.
She might as well get up since her tummy was rumbling.
After a change of clothes and a wash-up, Serenity walked out of her room and took a glance at Zachary’s bedroom door. By the looks of the closed door, he must still be sleeping.
Well, it was hard to get up at this hour since he was home late last night.
Serenity wandered into the kitchen and stared at the empty room. A brief silence later, she turned around and made her way out.
She had placed an order for kitchenware yesterday, but the stuff had not arrived.
Had she known, Serenity would have bought them in a store rather than online.
While moving house yesterday, Serenity remembered seeing a breakfast place in the neighborhood.
Serenity decided to get breakfast takeouts.
She wondered what Zachary fancied eating.

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...
Yangyang = Sonny Uncle Lu = Duncan...
Yangyang = Sonny; Uncle Lu = Duncan; Liberty=Liberty; Haitong/Tongtong = serenity ; Zhan Yin= Zachary; Ning Siqi= Cameron Sister Carrie;...
