Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 5394

Lilian said, “Why are you being formal with us? To us, you and Laurence are both our children. Noelle, you need to stop placing yourself in the role of a servant. You’re not a maid.

“You are a child to all of us, a sister and family to Laurence. Yes, you keep Laurence safe as his bodyguard, but we don’t see you as hired help.

“We are family, and that’s how we should get along.”

Noelle pursed her lips before uttering, “Doc rescued me from the street to take care of Mr. Laurence. My task since day one was to protect and care for him.

“People don’t really use terms like maid and servants anymore, so I’m Mr. Laurence’s bodyguard and housekeeper. Even though we grew up together, and you love me like one of your children, I can’t forget my place.”

Noelle was eternally grateful to have found shelter with the old legendary doctor. She was fed, given an education, and an opportunity to learn medicine and combat.

Laurence treated her like family.

Doc and the Johnsons took her in as their own. However, she was not their flesh and blood. She was Laurence’s bodyguard and housekeeper. Her duty for life was to take care of him and keep him safe.

Noelle would always be around Laurence. Even at her deathbed, she would ensure that Laurence was unharmed before she breathed her last.

By ensuring Laurence’s safety, Noelle could pay the debt of gratitude to Doc for raising her.

Lilian was lost for words.

“Noelle, here’s a question for you. What if Laurence falls in love and gets married?”

A look of fluster flickered across Noelle’s eyes, but she was quick to regain composure. She replied, “Mr. Laurence is the sole survivor of his family. He’s bound to date and get married.

“His relationship status doesn’t affect my work. I will still carry on my duties. Once he has a wife, I will extend my job scope to her as well.”

Lilian asked, “What if Laurence’s future wife can’t stand you and wants you to stay away from Laurence? What are you going to do then?

“You have never dated anyone, so you don’t understand that when a woman falls in love, they won’t tolerate any competition. Even though you’re Laurence’s bodyguard and housekeeper, you’re still a woman who grew up with Laurence.
