Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 868

Chapter 868

Struck by a thought, Zachary flipped the lights on and hurried to Serenity’s bedroom. He flung the door open and looked at the unchanged décor. Her things were still around.

He examined her closet and found a few pieces of clothing missing. Her suitcase was still beside the wardrobe. She did not take all her things with her.

Zachary sighed heavily with relief.

He was so afraid of losing someone for the first time ever.

Sitting on Serenity’s bed, Zachary brushed his fingers along her sheets as if he could feel her through her belongings.

“Seren…”

He murmured her name.

“I’ll prove to you through my actions that you won’t hear another lie from me again!

“You can ignore me for a year if I ever do anything to deceive or hurt you. Um… year’s a bit long. Maybe three months.”

After much thought, Zachary believed he would go crazy from three months of no interaction with Serenity. He mumbled to himself, “I think a week is fine. I lost my mind when you didn’t talk to me for a day. A week would push me over the edge. I think it’s a hard enough punishment.”

Serenity would be speechless if she were there now.

Zachary stayed in her room for a while before going out to close the main door. He did not lock the house in case Serenity woke up in the middle of the night from the cold and missed his warm embrace. She might just come running home to him.

Of course, it was all wishful thinking and could hardly become a reality.

Even if Serenity was willing to talk to him, their relationship could not possibly go back to where it once was right away.

That night, Zachary slept in Serenity’s bedroom.

It was a quiet night.
