Stranger Mariage - Chapter 174

Josh would be the first to quit and stay as far away as possible if Zachary were interested in
men.
Problem with his manhood?
Zachary had not fallen head over heels for Serenity. Well, he would show her once he took a fancy
to her and consummate the marriage!
It took a while before Zachary got up and made an abrupt exit to his room.
He slammed the door behind him.
The loud bang was a reflection of his foul mood.

Serenity waited until he closed his bedroom door before getting up. She picked up the paper,
crumpled it into a ball, and tossed it into the bin
while mumbling under her breath, “It was a good thing I thought it through. Otherwise, I’d have lost to h
im.”
The lesson today was not to make a bet before getting full intel on the opponent. There was a risk of thi
ngs blowing up in her face.
As for her proposal of a wager and her sudden change of heart, Serenity was not concerned at all. It
was normal to back out of a deal since they had not signed a contract.
While humming a tune, Serenity turned off the living room lights and returned to her little haven. She sp
rawled on the bed to play on her phone before washing up and turning in for the night.
The
following morning, Serenity rout pproached her window and withdrew the heavy curtains. With the win
dow pushed open, a chill crept into her room. Shivering in the cold, she quickly closed the windows.
By the looks of the gray sky, it was going to rain.
The earlier chill announced the drop in temperature.
Since Wiltspoon and Annenburg were in the same region, the weather was roughly the same. It was cold
in the mornings and nights during late fall and early winter. Once the sun rose,
so would the temperature. It would be warm then.
The temperature drop along with the rain was only a reminder to the
people that it was time to layer up with a thin jacket.
Serenity stretched and went to brush her teeth. She then changed
out of her pajamas and went from her bedroom to the kitchen to make Zachary a pasta dish. That was hi
s request yesterday. Opening the fridge door, Serenity realized that they were out
of fresh produce. The milk was barely enough. She also ran out of cheese which was essential for
any pasta dish.
Serenity decided to make a quick run to the market.
She exited the kitchen as Zachary came out of his room. Dressed in a blue tracksuit and
sneakers, Zachary looked like he was going for a run.
“It’s
a little chilly today. It’s likely to rain too. Are you going out for a run? Don’t forget to bring along an umb
rella, so you don’t get soaked.”
Seeing that Serenity was carrying her
purse that contained her phone and keys, he asked, “Are you going to the market?”
“Our fridge is running low on inventory. I’m going to get groceries from the
market. Do you want to come along? You can run to the market and back.”

Considering the distance between Brynfield and the market, Zachary shook his head. “I’m just going to
jog around the neighborhood. You can get
groceries from the nearby supermarket. There’s no need to go to the market.”
Serenity responded to Zachary while making her way
out, “The supermarket prices are more expensive than in the market. We can’t just spend
extravagantly. We must be budget conscious.”
Zachary had no words as he stared at her back.
“The allowance I gave you should be enough for us to live comfortably. Don’t be too frugal. You got to
treat yourself. What’s the point of earning money? It’s so we can eat better,
have better clothes, and live life without reservation.”
Serenity stopped outside the door and waited for Zachary to come out before closing and locking the
front
door. She then replied, “Be grateful that you married a wife who is budget conscious and careful not to s
plurge. Do you think you can afford me if I waste a few hundred thousand dollars on a bag?”
Patting Zachary on the chest, she added. “Consider yourself lucky, pal. You got a good thing going on.”
Zachary was speechless.
Gu Lingfei: Married At First Sight

Chapter 175

The couple walked down the stairs together. Zachary
went for his morning run while Serenity rode her e–bike to the market. She was mounting
the bike when Zachary reminded her, “Get extra groceries to bring to your shop. You can cook
your lunch. You should stop ordering takeout.”
“Got it.”
“I’ll have the Wiltspoon Hotel deliver meals to you every day if I catch you with another takeout.”
Serenity turned her head to shoot him an angry look. “Squanderer!”
Zachary made a wry face.
Not too far away,
the bodyguard, who pretended to pass by, nearly snickered after overhearing Serenity.
Refusing to spend another minute with the squanderer, Serenity rode her bike away.
“The girl doesn’t know what’s good for her!” Zachary waited until she was long gone before making that
snide comment.
Serenity looked around the marketplace and bought a lot of fresh vegetables and long-
lasting melons to stuff the
fridge. The potatoes, carrots, and onions were placed in a ventilated bag on the floor.
After a change of clothes from his morning run, Zachary
emerged and looked at her haul. He was twitching by the corner of his ”

Still, he said nothing.
Serenity got straight to making the pasta dish.
She bought some pork belly too. First, she got the ingredients ready by slicing the pork and dicing the to
matoes. She proceeded to stir the tomatoes on the stove until pureed.
Zachary watched from the kitchen door before moving to the balcony. He sat on the swing and admired
the mini garden while swaying with the breeze. It was rather relaxing. No wonder Serenity would take th
e time to sit here every day.
Ring, ring…
Zachary’s phone rang.
It was an incoming call from Josh.
Zachary took the call but kept his voice down in case his wife in the kitchen might hear him.
“Boss, Serenity’s ridiculous relatives found a mediator. They’re going to try and resolve issues with her.”
Many matters concerning the CEO’s wife would pass through Josh’s hands.
He would be the first to know of any update.
With his eyes turning cold and dark, he asked callously, “Haven’t you shut them down?”
“No. It’s going easy on them if we squash them right away. We should fool around with him
a little so they lose everything they own bit by bit. Now that’s what I call revenge.
“Since they have their backs against the wall whether in their work or
business, they’re more anxious than the missus. They
had looked for Serenity to resolve their differences, but the missus refused. They have now
turned to a mediator from some TV program for help.”
Zachary replied indifferently, “I don’t care whatever TV program it is. Just deal with them. Don’t
let those people harass my wife.”
Josh chuckled. “You seem angry.
“Alright. I’ll get it done and put the word out that the TV producers can
expect their shows to be canceled if any of their mediators bothers the missus. These mediators make cr
ass comments without knowing the full story. They sure have the nerve to talk people into
forgiving and forgetting when they had never experienced the hardships themselves.”
For all the things the Hunts had done to Serenity and Liberty, anybody with a bit of decency would not
persuade Serenity to settle with the Hunts.
It was easy for the mediators to say anything when it was not their heads on the chopping block.
“Boss, did the missus give you any packed breakfast today? Can you ask her to pack extras?
I want to sample her cooking.”
“Get lost!” Zachary abruptly ended the call. Josh remarked, “Tch, tch. Would

k at that! Jealousy isn’t a nice color on him.”
