Gu Lingfei: Married At First Sight

Chapter 121

Liberty chased after Hank with a kitchen knife.
Hank did not expect Liberty to be so tough.
Liberty had always been gentle and thoughtful since their marriage. Even lately, when he yelled at her, s
he would only quarrel with him on the occasion that he went overboard.
This time, Liberty acted like a lunatic after he hit her.
Not only did Liberty fight back, but she also went ahead to get a kitchen knife.
Hank ran out of the room and then out of the apartment.
Liberty did not stop either and chased after him with the kitchen knife.
She chased Hank down the stairs.
This scene shocked the entire neighborhood.
Liberty ran after Hank with the kitchen knife for five blocks. When she
was exhausted , she sat by the side of the road to catch her breath.
Hank was also tired and sat far away from her.
When Hank‘s parents and sister rushed over and saw them, Hank felt aggrieved.
His parents were exasperated when they saw their precious son looking so wretched with both sides of
his face swollen. Chelsea even rolled up her sleeves and said angrily, “That b*tch actually had the audaci
ty to hit my brother! I‘ll kill her!”
Mrs. Brown
was so distressed that she burst into tears and scolded him. “Are you two enemies? How dare she beat
up my son?! I knew she was crazy because she grew up undisciplined , without parents, and I told you n
ot to marry her! But you insisted!
“You‘re such a big man,
yet you can‘t defeat a woman. You keep telling us that you‘ll teach her a lesson, but look at you now!”
Mrs. Brown forgot that their family persuaded Liberty to marry Hank because Liberty‘s income was very
high back then.
Now, they despised Liberty. Mr. Brown also cursed Liberty. “I couldn‘t even bear to hit my son all this wh
ile. Liberty went overboard this time! Where is she? I‘ll stand up for you and promise to hit her back. She
lives in your house and spends your money, but she dares fight back when you teach her a lesson. Does
she have a death wish?!”
Mr. Brown saw that his daughter was already running toward Liberty and immediately followed suit.

“Dad! Chelsea! She has a knife!” Hank shouted and quickly got up to run after them alongside his mothe
r.
Liberty took a short break and saw her in–
laws aggressively running toward her. She stood up, clutched the kitchen knife, and glared at the family
with murderous intent.
The Browns rushed over and stopped when they saw Liberty‘s murderous look and the glint of the kitch
en knife that shone in the sun.
They also noticed that Liberty‘s face was no better than Hank‘s. Liberty had a bruised face and a swollen
nose, with blood on her nose and the corners of her mouth. Her hair was disheveled, and she had many
bruises and shoe prints on her arms.
Needless to say, they knew that it was Hank‘s doing.
“Liberty, how dare you fight with Hank?!”
Chelsea did not dare to come forward, but shouted at Liberty, “Hank told us there was no food on the ta
ble when he came back from work. Is that how you should act as a wife? You don‘t do anything at home
and want Hank to cook by himself. When has Hank ever cooked in his life!”
“He only hit you a little because he‘s angry. You should just take it How dare you fight back?!”
“That‘s right! Look at how hard you‘ve beaten my son!
You‘re a shrew! I‘ll get Hank to divorce you! Just look at you now. How will you live without Hank?”
“You use Hank‘s money and live in his house, yet you still have the nerve to fight with him. No woman w
ould beat up her husband like this!”
Gu Lingfei: Married At First Sight

Chapter 122

Liberty sneered. “He was the one who insisted on going halves, so I just did what he wanted. How is it ri
ght that he can do whatever he wants to me when he‘s angry? You‘re distressed when you see him like t
his, but can‘t you see how he beat me up too?
“He‘s your precious son, but I‘m human too! Yes, my parents are dead, but even if I‘m an orphan, I won‘t
let you abuse me!
“Are you gonna come at me one by one, or all together? Come at me! I‘ll be straight with you. If you don
‘t want to be with me anymore, just say the word and we‘ll get a divorce. Don‘t you think you can get aw
ay with abusing me! I‘m not a pushover! If you dare bully or beat me up again, I‘ll make
sure to drag your whole family to hell before I die!
“Hank Brown, I told you long ago that if you ever dare lay your hands on me, you‘d better beat me to de
ath because if I‘m alive, you should sleep with one eye open. Otherwise, I‘ll chop you to pieces and minc
e you up!”
Libery glared at her in–laws fiercely.
If they had the guts to charge at her, she would fight to the death and die with them!

The Browns were speechless.
“What a shrew! She‘s so unreasonable!” Mr. Brown scolded Liberty and said to his
son, “Hank, come home with us.”
Hank was also frightened by Liberty‘s behavior today.
He had known her for twelve years and never knew she was so ruthless.
Hank‘s legs were still shaking when he recalled Liberty‘s fierce look, so he left with his parents and sister.
At the same time, he called his boss to ask for a leave of absence.
He had to recuperate at home.
Chelsea drove over.
After the Browns got into the car, Chelsea said, “Hank, you should divorce her and take custody of Sonny
. Don‘t give her custody. Let‘s see if she can stay arrogant.”
Hank wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked his parents, “If I divorce her, will you help
me take Sonny?”
“Mom and Dad already have their hands full with my kids,” Chelsea said.
After a moment of silence, Mr. Brown said, “Sonny is still young. Your mother and I are
helping Chelsea with her baby, and we have
to pick up the two older ones from school. How can we take care of Sonny? Hank, don‘t be impulsive ab
out the divorce…”
“Don‘t give Liberty any expenses. If you cut off her finances, she won‘t be so arrogant anymore. You can
divorce her when Sonny is old enough to attend kindergarten. That way, we can handle the pick–
up and drop–off.”
Hank
had a new lover, but he had not gotten a divorce because he knew his son was still young and his parent
s could not help him take care of Sonny.
After listening to his father‘s advice, Hank said spitefully, “She will never
get a penny from me ever again!” Mr. Brown reminded him. “If you don‘t want to get a divorce, don‘t hi
t her again. Liberty is ruthless. If you can‘t defeat her, just let her be and stop abusing her.”
Hank stopped talking
He was terrified of Liberty.
“Right. Don‘t give her any more money. Also, you bought the house, and her name isn‘t on the title deed
. Don‘t let her stay there and kick her out!” Chelsea suggested it to her brother.
Mrs. Brown said, “Now that Serenity is married and her husband has a house, kicking Liberty out is not e
nough to threaten her. Hank, I reminded you before not to go overboard for Sonny‘s sake. You have to b
e careful next time.”

“I saw the mistress you‘re keeping. She‘s not as hard working as Liberty.”
Hank looked at his mother in astonishment.
“Mom, how did you know?”
Mrs. Brown snorted. “You were so nice to Liberty before, but you suddenly had a change of character. I
knew there was something wrong when you started treating Liberty badly. I saw you having dinner with
a young and beautiful woman in a five–
star hotel a few days ago. You both had such intimacy that I knew right away what was going on.”

Chapter 124

Jasmine smiled. “Don‘t mention it! You‘ve always closed up for the night in the past, so I‘ve been taking
advantage of you. I‘ll only feel better now by making up for it.”
Serenity accepted her friend‘s offer and picked up the clothes she bought before bidding Jasmine goodb
ye and walking out of the bookstore. When she opened the car door, she placed the bag of clothes on th
e passenger seat and said to Zachary, “You can head home first. I need to go to the market to buy some
vegetables. If you can, cook some pasta while waiting. Otherwise , just wait till I get home.”
Zachary glanced at her e–bike and said, “Where‘s your new car?”
“I left the house later than usual today, so I was afraid of getting stuck in traffic. That‘s why I took the bik
e.”
Serenity put on her helmet and said, “I‘m leaving.”
Without waiting for Zachary to reply, Serenity rode the bike away.
Zachary was left speechless.
Serenity did things in a hurry sometimes, which was a contrast to Zachary‘s calmness,
Looking at the bag of clothes on the passenger seat, Zachary took it and rummaged through. He noticed
they were menswear. He frowned and thought, ‘Who did she buy these for?‘
Zachary checked the size and noticed that all of them matched his and they were black in color. Could th
ey be for him?
His displeasure vanished after some thought.
Zachary saw Jasmine coming out of the store and greeted Jasmine with a nod before he drove away.
As soon as Zachary left, Shawn arrived.
Jasmine was startled when she saw her cousin. She stretched out her hand and pulled on Shawn‘s beard
.” Shawn, I haven‘t seen you in a while. Why did you grow such a long beard? You should shave it off. Do
n‘t grow a beard at such a young age. You‘ll look old!
“Have you been very busy and tired recently? You look so haggard and fatigued. It‘s good to be hardwor
king , but don‘t overwork yourself. After all, your body is a temple. You have to take care of your health.
”

“I‘m fine, but I‘m a little busy with work.”
Shawn actually grew his beard for Serenity’s
sake. It was not a long beard anyway. Jasmine was just surprised because Shawn usually had a clean–
shaven face.
“Jas, Serenity‘s not here?” Shawn asked casually when he saw that his cousin was alone in the store.
“Serenity went home early to cook up a feast for Mr. York as a token of appreciation for helping her tre
mendously. Are you looking for Serenity ? You can tell me what it‘s about and I can relay the message.”
“It‘s nothing. I‘m just asking. Serenity said she wanted to treat me to a meal, but I
don‘t know when she‘ll fulfill her promise.”
Jasmine laughed. “You‘re both close
friends, so ordering takeout for you is also considered treating you to a meal.”
Shawn was silent.
He wanted to eat alone with Serenity.
“Jas, Serenity and her husband married at first sight. Do you think their relationship will last?”
Serenity was Shawn‘s first crush. Although he was a little younger than Serenity, he
believed he could take good care of her. When he found out Serenity got hitched, he was so lost and cou
ld not bear to let her go. Thus, he hoped and looked forward to Serenity getting a divorce.
“Mr. York is callous, but he treats Serenity well. They should feel some spark between them after living t
ogether for a while. If it really doesn‘t work out,
they‘ll divorce half a year later since the two of them signed an agreement.”
Gu Lingfei: Married At First Sight

Chapter 125

Jasmine looked at her cousin suspiciously and asked,” Shawn, why are you asking about this?”
Shawn would not admit his feelings for Serenity and that he was looking forward to Serenity‘s divorce, s
o he lied.” I just care about Serenity. I don‘t mean anything else. Serenity is a nice girl. If her husband do
esn‘t treat her well, it‘ll be better to get a divorce sooner so she can find a man who will
appreciate her. That way, she can live a good life.”
“That‘s true. Serenity is great! I believe Mr. York will fall in love with her. He might even fall for her soon
er than the other way round!”
Jasmine only wished the best for her friend.
Shawn‘s heart ached.
He could not tell his cousin that he had a crush on Serenity because he was afraid Jasmine would tell his
mother.
Not to mention, Shawn was a little younger than Serenity. Even if Serenity were to divorce, his mother w
ould never accept Serenity as a daughter–in–

law. Before Shawn had full confidence in pursuing Serenity, he was careful to conceal his feelings from o
thers.
The sun set over the ocean in the west. The sky quietly darkened as night fell.
Back in Brynfield, Serenity was bustling about the kitchen. The aroma of food wafted out from time to ti
me, attracting Zachary to the kitchen door. He wanted to help, but Serenity said she would do it all by he
rself since she was treating him to dinner and declined his help. He was watching TV in the hall but felt b
ored, so he might as well watch his wife cook.
Zachary looked at Serenity‘s graceful movements
with a deep and gentle gaze. Even though he had not noticed these changes in himself, he felt Serenity p
ossessed many strengths.
“Serenity,” Zachary called out suddenly as a thought popped into his head.
Serenity turned her head to look at him while she continued to cook and asked, “Speak your mind, Mr. Y
ork.”
“You‘ve taken good care of those
few potted plants on the balcony. Can you spare me one to bring to the office so
I can put it on my desk?”
Serenity replied matter–of–
factly, “That pot is rather big. If you put it in the office, it‘s best not to put it on the table as it‘ll take up t
oo much space. Just pick a spot in the office and place it there.”
“But I want to put it on my desk. I heard from my colleagues that the plant symbolizes fortune, so I thou
ght if I put it on my desk, it could help me attract fortune.”
“Then, you might as well buy a lucky cat and put it on your desk.”
Serenity scooped up the stir–fried vegetables and transferred them onto the plate while
saying, “If you want to put it on your desk, I can give you a miniature tree handicraft. It‘s not big, so it w
on‘t take up much space. It looks good and has a meaningful symbolism.”
Zachary spoke in such a big roundabout way because he wanted his wife to give him the handicrafts she
made. His wife fell into his trap
willingly, and he gladly played along “Do you have any in stock? Your handicrafts are intricate. Nana love
s them so much that she puts them in the most conspicuous places in the house. Whenever anyone asks
, she‘ll just sing praises of you.”
Nana praised Serenity highly, so much so she became Zachary‘s wife.
“I do have some in stock, but they‘re all orders for my customers. I won‘t have to rush in giving it to you
since we live together. I‘ll pass you a miniature tree tomorrow. Do you also want a lucky cat?”
Zachary did not
mind as long as Serenity was willing to give him her handmade crafts. He would not steal from her custo
mers.

“Can you make a lucky cat?”
“Yup.”
Zachary smiled. “Then I‘ll be greedy for once and ask for a lucky cat.”
Callum did not have a lucky cat, and now Zachary had one item more than Callum. “If your colleagues lik
e them, please send them the link to my online store to support my business!”
After a moment of silence, Zachary said, “Many
of my colleagues already know about your online store because Callum recommended it to them.” Callu
m stole Zachary‘s opportunity and took the lead.
Gu Lingfei: Married At First Sight

Chapter 126

Zachary was in dismay. However, on second thought, Callum recommending Serenity‘s handicrafts woul
d only mean more money for
Serenity. Since Serenity was his wife, he could still reap some benefits from it. With this in mind, Zachary
no longer felt too depressed about it.
When Serenity finished cooking, she brought all of the dishes and placed them on the table.
The couple took their seats and had dinner together.
Zachary was in a good mood and ate with much gusto.
He had to admit that Serenity had great cooking skills and he was blessed to have her.
After the meal, Serenity washed the dishes and picked up the bag of clothes from the couch. She retriev
ed the clothes from the bag and handed them to Zachary. “Mr. York, try these two sets of clothes and se
e if they fit?
“You‘ve been of great help to me, so I think treating you to a meal isn‘t enough. That‘s why I bought you
two sets of new clothes and ties to match. They‘re all in black, your favorite color.”
Zachary had guessed long ago that these were for him, but he did not show it. He took over the clothes t
rom Serenity and asked while looking at her, “How do you
know what my size is?”
“I asked Nana.”
Zachary left it at that.
“Do you want to try it on?”
“No, they‘ll fit.”
Serenity chose the color he liked.
“Just ask me next time if you‘re unsure what to buy.”
Zachary thought to himself, ‘Don‘t ask Nana. If she finds out, who knows what kind of tricks she‘ll pull be
hind my back?‘

“You‘re busy with work, so I don‘t want to bother you,” Serenity replied.
Zachary was without a word.
He was busy and did not like her asking him about menial things.
“Mr. York, it‘s still early, so let‘s go for a
walk. Speaking of which, I haven‘t walked around the neighborhood yet after moving here for a while.”
Zachary hesitated before agreeing to her suggestion. He was also not familiar with Brynfield.
His housekeeper was the one who helped him buy this unit in the first place.
Then, for the first time, the couple went out for a walk together.
Zachary was calm in nature and a man of few words. Moreover, they were not like other couples who m
arried for love. When they went downstairs for a stroll around the neighborhood , neither of them spok
e after walking for a while.
After what seemed like a long time, Serenity found a topic to talk about and asked, “Mr. York, how far is
your hometown from the city?”
Serenity had not been to Zachary‘s hometown , but she heard from Grandma May that they lived in the
suburbs.
Since they signed the agreement, Serenity was mentally prepared for a divorce at any time. Thus, she di
d not care much about her husband‘s hometown and did not bother to visit.
It was just too awkward to keep walking in silence, so she thought of this topic to kill time.
“With smooth traffic, it‘ll take less than an hour by car. It‘s not far, but it‘s not that close either.”
The Yorks also owned many villas in major high–
end neighborhoods in the city. They had houses everywhere.
They would only go back to the main residence on occasion
“Nana mentioned that your family also has farmland that grows a lot of crops.”
“Yeah,” Zachary hummed. That was true.
Serenity did not probe further knowing that what Grandma May said was the truth. The Yorks were just
ordinary farmers. Thus, Serenity knew that she did not marry up the social ladder because she and Zach
ary stood in the same social class.
Gu Lingfei: Married At First Sight

Chapter 127

A lot of people were taking a stroll in the neighborhood. Most of them were parents bringing their
children out for walks while others included young couples holding hands intimately.
Despite seeing how affectionate other couples were, Serenity and Zachary just walked side by side,
without taking the initiative to extend their hand to the other.
However , many people turned to look at them because they were a good-looking couple.

Finally, Serenity stopped by a children’s playground and said to the man beside her, “Let’s sit here to
watch the kids play.”
Serenity liked children.
She loved her nephew, Sonny.
Zachary did not speak and followed her silently to sit on a stone bench.
“If Sonny was here, he’d definitely have a good time.”
Zachary hummed in response.
Serenity tilted her head to look at him. Zachary felt weird that she was looking at him like that, so he
asked her defensively, “Why are you looking at me like this?”
“You look exquisitely handsome, so I thought of soothing my eyes by taking a good look at you.”
Zachary was rendered speechless.
“Mr. York, you’re good-looking and capable, which means you have really good genes. If you have
children in
the future, they’ll definitely be smart.”
“You want to have children with me?”
Serenity laughed. “Nana kept saying I should just jump your bones so she could have a great-
granddaughter.”
Hearing this, Zachary quietly moved his butt to pull away from Serenity.
Serenity did not notice this subtle movement and continued, “I know you don’t have feelings for me. I
don’t have feelings for you either, so we’re just a couple without any foundation of love. Even if I were
to jump you, it wouldn’t feel right as we don’t share any emotional attachment. It’ll be more like hiring a
gigolo. All that’s left is to pay you for your service.”
Zactiary was at a loss for words.
“We won’t have children. Let Nana urge Callum and the rest,” she added.
“Would they not have children?” Zachary pondered.
He tell uncomfortable when he heard what Serenity had to say about having kids, but he did not refute
her and
pursed his lips.
“Mr. York, do you suspect that I’m a conniving woman?”
‘Can you be any more direct?’ Zachary thought sarcastically and remained silent.
“Actually, I did have a motive in marrying you, Mr. York. It’s because you have a house. If I marry you, I
can move in and live with you for free. That way, I can save on rent.”

“I know.”
That was why he did not have a good first impression of her. Zachary married her reluctantly because of
his Nana.
“You knew?” Serenity tilted her head to look at him again with admiration in her eyes. “You’re really
smart, Mr. York. Your eyes are so sharp that it makes me feel like you can read my thoughts when you
look at me like that.”
Zachary looked at her and said, “I can’t read your thoughts, so I don’t know why you’re talking about this
now.”
“There’s no reason for it. I just thought that we don’t talk very often. You won’t take the initiative to
chat either, so I have to find a common topic to talk about to reduce the awkwardness.”
Gu Lingfei: Married At First Sight

Chapter 128

The young couples around them were newlyweds and behaving intimately , interlocking their fingers as
they walked together. The couples with children were focused on their kids, so they had more things to
talk about; unlike them, who had neither feelings nor children.
It was an onerous task for them to chat.
Seeing that Zachary was at a loss for words again, Serenity smiled and stood up, before pulling him up
too.” Let’s go back so you won’t feel uncomfortable, wondering if I’ll jump you at any moment.”
“Serenity, you’re a girl!”
“So what if I’m a girl? I’m just saying…”
Serenity pulled him away, but she only pulled on his sleeve without touching his hand for fear he might
wash his hands a hundred times when he got home. “Didn’t you see the trending story two days ago? It
was about Ms. Stone and Mr. York. Ms. Stone really likes him, so she confessed to him and wooed him
openly. Men will pursue the women they like, and women will do the same because everyone’s in
pursuit of true love.
“I admire Ms. Stone for that. She had indirectly helped me. Although she doesn’t know who I am, I’ll
silently pray for her and wish her the best of luck in pursuing her true love. I hope she succeeds and gets
to marry Mr. York. She’s pursuing Mr. York rather aggressively now. Once she’s with him, I’m certain Mr.
York will spoil her silly.”
Elisa unknowingly suppressed the “ungrateful granddaughter “trending story and reduced the impact
the tweet had on Serenity and Liberty. Thus, Serenity had a good impression of Elisa.
Moreover, Elisa’s bold character made Serenity admire her even more.
When Zachary heard what his wife just said, he almost rolled his eyes. He thought silently, ‘If you find
out that Mr. York is your husband, will you still say such a thing?’
“Mr. York doesn’t like Ms. Stone,” Zachary explained himself, lest Serenity tried to pair him and Elisa up.
“Apart from falling in love at first sight, most people won’t feel that they’ll fall in love with their other

half. Love is about pursuing each other and slowly getting to know one another. Once they grow closer,
mutual admiration and feelings will surely develop gradually. “Feelings need to be cultivated. Mr. York
and Ms. Stone are a good match for each other since they’re from the
same social class. If the two of them can get together, they’ll certainly be a match made in heaven!”
“I work in York Corporation. I know that our boss always brings his bodyguards everywhere and won’t
allow young women to approach him. He doesn’t like young women. Besides, our company and the
Stone Group aren’t exactly on good terms, so how could our boss be with Ms. Stone?”
After marriage, Serenity had never asked about Zachary’s position in his company and how much he was
earning monthly. After all, they were just husband and wife by law and might not last long, so why
bother?
Of course, if Zachary raised the subject about his job, Serenity would gladly gossip about what kind of
person his boss was.
“Have you met your boss? You share the same last name as him, so it’s easy for others to mistake you as
your boss’s relative.”
Serenity smiled and added, “Jasmine suspected you’re related to that particular Mr. York several times,
but I told her that she has read too many s for her to mix up fiction with reality. The female lead always
ends up marrying a billionaire at first sight.
“Every man must be a billionaire if it was that easy to marry one!
Zachary murmured in his heart, ‘Ms. Sox has a good eye…’
Jasmine was no doubt from a rich family. To ordinary people, the Soxes were rich and were considered a
local tycoon. They could earn hundreds of thousands a month by collecting rent monthly. It was only
because the Soxes had such a background that Aunt Rachel could marry into an affluent family.
Zachary made a mental note that if he were to attend a dinner party again, he would have to steer clear
of the Soxes and the Lowes as he did not want them to expose his identity to Serenity.
He was the head of the Yorks who were the richest family in Wiltspoon, and he wanted to reveal his true
identity to Serenity himself without anyone else getting in way.
“Our boss is very busy. It’s hard for me to see him unless it’s for a meeting. After all, I’m not in the top
management of the company. Even if I were to attend a meeting, I’ll be seated at the end of the table.
My eyesight isn’t great either, so I can’t see his face clearly.”
Gu Lingfei: Married At First Sight

Chapter 129

You‘re a manager in the company, yet you barely have the chance to meet your boss. Your boss is truly…
unattainable and mysterious,” Serenity said.
There were no photos of Mr. York on the internet.

Mr. York was followed around by a security squad. Last time at the dinner party, there were so many tall
and brawny bodyguards surrounding him to the point where Serenity and Jasmine could not catch a gli
mpse of Mr. York‘s face even when they tiptoed.
Now knowing that Zachary who was a white–
collar employee in York Corporation and yet he rarely saw Mr. York, Serenity felt much better about her
self.
Zachary did not carry on with the conversation.
He did not care what others say about him and acted according to his own wishes.
The couple chatted about Mr. York and returned to their block
Zachary‘s bodyguards wandered nearby. Although they did not follow Zachary and Serenity closely, the
guards were always watching the young couple and kept them within range of vision, wherever they we
nt.
Of course, Serenity did not know that she was being watched this whole time.
Serenity turned her head and inadvertently saw a bodyguard wandering not far away. She thought he lo
oked familiar, so she stopped and said to Zachary,” That man looks very familiar.”
Zachary was stunned.
That was his bodyguard, Jim.
Jim was also surprised when he saw Serenity and Zachary looking right at him. He quickly regained his se
nses and walked over as if nothing was wrong.
“Aren‘t you the driver from that night?” Serenity recalled when she had seen him.
This familiar–looking man was the driver who sent Zachary home when Zachary was drunk that night.
“Yup, that‘s me,” Jim replied.
Serenity had good eyesight and memory.
“Do you also live around here?”
“Yeah, but I‘m renting the place. Usually I‘d drive for the car–
hailing service, and occasionally I‘m a driver for hire when they‘re under the influence.”
“Oh, okay.” Although Serenity remembered this driver, she was unfamiliar with
him and only greeted him today since they had met previously. She did not ponder on this matter.
Zachary glanced at Jim, who instantly understood the meaning behind his boss‘s look.
In the future, Jim would have to
be discreet while tailing Zachary in public so as not to be seen by Serenity because it would indirectly rev
eal his identity. If that happened, Jim would not be able to afford the consequences.
Back at home, Serenity sat on the swing out of habit while Zachary went back to his room.

They did not talk again that night.
The next day, Zachary was about to leave when Serenity was just done making breakfast. “Mr. York, you
haven‘t had breakfast yet.”
Zachary tugged at his tie. Serenity noticed that was the tie she gifted him.
She thought he would not like or even wear it. To her surprise, he wore it today.
“I have an early meeting today, and I can‘t be late. I’m afraid of getting stuck in traffic, so I need to leave
early. I won‘t have breakfast at home today and will order takeout later.” “I‘ve
already made it. Don‘t order takeout. I‘ll pack it for you so you can take it to your office.”
Zachary hesitated for a while as he could not bear to reject her kind offer, especially since her breakfasts
made
every day were delectable.
Serenity brought out an insulated lunch box and she filled it with sandwiches, a hard–
boiled egg, and some salad. She covered it before handing it over to Zachary. “Eat it when you get to the
office. Don‘t work on an empty stomach.” “Okay.“
Gu Lingfei: Married At First Sight

Chapter 130

Zachary finally felt the benefits of being married.
He left for work with the insulated lunch box. While on the way to the office in the car, he savored the
breakfast that his wife prepared for him with love.
He ate it with much gusto and felt satisfied.
The driver and the bodyguard who sat in the same car as Zachary were a little puzzled. The breakfast
Serenity prepared was extremely simple, yet the picky Zachary relished it. Perhaps, Serenity’s cooking
skills were excellent.
After Zachary left, Serenity routinely called her sister and left the house knowing that her sister was fine.
When she got out, it was already rush hour, so there was traffic congestion which eventually got heavier
as she was halfway into her journey.
Many who were rushing for work were feeling utterly anxious till they almost went berserk.
Elisa Stone was one of them.
While her brother and sister-in-law were behaving lovey dovey during breakfast , Elisa quietly slipped
out of the house and secretly packed some breakfast for Zachary.
She had the chef at home specially make it. Then, she cut a large bunch of fresh flowers from her garden
and wrapped them up.
Carrying the bouquet and the breakfast prepared with love, Elisa left for Zachary’s office. She wanted to
arrive before he entered the building, so she could stop his car the old-school way and hand him the

breakfast she had carefully prepared. Although everyone including her sister-in-law persuaded her to
forget about Zachary, Elisa was unwilling to give up without a fight.
If Elisa could forget Zachary, then she would have done so a long time ago. However, after all this time
she still could not bring herself to forget him, she thought of giving it a shot.
She would only give up if she failed to win over his heart after three to five years.
Presently, the traffic reached a gridlock. As she watched the fleeting minutes, Elisa grew more anxious.
If she continued to be stuck, Zachary would have started work by the time she arrived at York
Corporation. Then, it would be for naught to brace through the morning traffic.
No, Elisa could not wait like this.
Elisa called her bodyguard and informed him of the location of her car parked by the side of the road.
She
asked him to bring the spare key from home to drive her car back
After the phone call, the traffic finally inched ahead.
Elisa took the opportunity to turn to the side of the road and parked it in front of a store.
After taking a photo and sending it to the bodyguard, Elisa grabbed the bouquet and lunch box from the
car and went to the roadside to stop a bike.
Elisa managed to stop Serenity, who was just passing by.
Serenity braked and looked at Elisa. She asked in a friendly tone, “Hey pretty lady, what’s the matter?”
Elisa looked at Serenity and felt that she looked rather familiar, but when she did a double take, she saw
a stranger in Serenity. Elisa even dared to pursue Zachary openly, so she did not feel any guilt or fear for
suddenly hailing a stranger’s bike. She said frankly, “Can you give me a ride? The traffic is horrible today,
and I’m in a hurry.”
Seeing that Elisa was holding a bouquet and an insulated lunch box, Serenity made a wild guess of what
Elisa was about to do and smiled. “Where are you heading to?”
“York Corporation.”
“Come on, I’ll take you there.”
York Corporation was her husband’s workplace, so
Serenity wanted to see the sixty-eight-story office building up close.
It was the spot for the Wiltspoon business circle.
“Thank you!”
Elisa was very fond of Serenity not only because Serenity promised to give her a ride, but due to a sense
of familiarity as if they had known each other for decades.

However, they were only strangers.
This was the first time Elisa felt this way about someone she had just met.
Serenity took out a spare helmet from the trunk and handed it to Elisa. “Wear this helmet to avoid being
blocked by traffic police.”
Elisa took the helmet and put it on.
Serenity then restarted her e-bike and rode along the non -motorized vehicle lane with Elisa behind her,
heading straight to York Corporation.
