Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 3548

Lilian often had to go on long journeys, sometimes for as short as three to five days, or as long as ten days to half a month. Tim often found himself alone in an empty room with their son, waiting for his wife to return.

This time, as Lilian embarked on another journey, Tim didn’t know when she would be back.

He understood that Lilian was primarily leaving to serve as Grandpa Jimenez’s personal doctor and nurse, safeguarding his life. Other elderly seniors would be there as well, so Tim was at a loss for words.

“I’ll come back when Grandpa Jimenez returns to the Stone Family,” Lilian said, linking her arm with his. “While I’m away, you should spend more time with our son. Think about how pitiful he is. As a mother, I’m often not by his side. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but it’s only the nanny who takes care of him. You’re busy during the week, so you can only spend time with him at night.”

Tim responded, “Why should he be pitiful? He doesn’t realize how fortunate he is. He’s still a very happy child. With the master taking care of him, he barely knows who I am, so why would he need me, his father, to be around? The master will take care of everything.”

Tim was relieved knowing his father-in-law was there.

Tim was too embarrassed to admit that he secretly wished his father-in-law would retire and live at FC Manor, allowing him and Lilian to take care of him.

The old man had no children of his own, only one disciple—Lilian, who was both his beloved disciple and daughter.

After retirement, it would be fitting for him to live with his daughter and son-in-law, and they would take care of him.

If the old man lived at FC Manor, Fabian would be well looked after, and Tim wouldn’t have to worry as a father. He would then have more time to spend with his wife—how great would that be?

Lilian thought, I assumed he was being filial, but he’s just a selfish person who only thinks about himself.

Just like her.

The couple was perfectly matched.

“I can’t leave right now; otherwise, I’d accompany you.”

“You’re busy; there’s a lot going on at the company.” Lilian didn’t want her husband to follow her. Perhaps she was used to flying solo. Unless they were on vacation together, she didn’t like Tim tagging along wherever she went.

Tim had privately complained more than once that she wasn’t clingy at all. But what was there to cling to?

Her eyes were full of allure, and her words carried deeper meanings.

Tim understood immediately. Without a word, he pulled her into his arms again and kissed her fiercely, leaving her lips slightly swollen. Reluctantly, he let her go, giving her numerous instructions. Feeling that he was nagging, Lilian grabbed her suitcase and walked away.

She didn’t ask him to see her off again.

Tim stood there for a moment before walking away, a loving smile playing on his lips.

From a distance, the old doctor, holding his precious grandson, remarked, “Fabian, your parents are so affectionate that it makes people… envious, jealous, and hateful.”

Fabian didn’t understand his grandfather’s words. When his grandfather spoke to him, he babbled back as if responding to the old man’s complaints.
