Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 703

Chapter 703

After dinner, Zachary cleared the table while Serenity wiped and tidied the place. She then ventured out of the dining room to take a seat opposite her mother–in–law.

Serenity looked at the time and said, “Mom, why don’t you drive the car into the driveway and stay the night?”

“It’s okay. I’ll head back in a bit. Your father–in–law doesn’t feel comfortable if I’m not at home with him.”

After her son took over the company, her husband retired and had not left Tania’s side since. Her husband could not get used to Tania staying away from home.

Serenity was envious of her parents–in–law’s relationship.

They had been together for decades and were still faithful to each other into their golden years.

“Mom, I didn’t know Zachary bought this villa. He never told me. I only heard about it now. The place is bigger than the apartment in Brynfield. It feels empty that it’s just the two of us here. How about you move in with Dad?”

Tania was taken aback. “You want to live with your in–laws?”

Many young daughters–in–law were against living with their parents-in–law.

Well, it was not just daughters–in–law. Tania’s three sons moved out to live on their own when they were of age. They preferred not to share the same living space with their parents.

Youngsters were living in a different world than the oldies.

“I don’t mind.”

Tania said with a smile, “But Zack doesn’t like living with elders. I think we should remain at the old residence and give you youngsters some space.”

Serenity failed short of Tania’s expectations and living together would mean Serenity’s flaws to be put under a magnifying glass. It would not help Tania to warm up to Serenity.

They might as well stick to the status quo-Serenity believed her mother–in–law was nice while Tania would not pick on Serenity’s faults every day. Everybody would be happy, and besides, absence made the heart grow fonder.

Once Zachary came out of the kitchen, Tania rose to her feet and excused herself.

“Zack, come and see me off.”

A while later, Tania replied, “I’ll guide her when you come clean to her about who you are. She can do better at presenting herself.”

She then asked her son, “Are you still married by name? Three months should be enough for you to be the judge of Serenity’s character if you plan to spend a lifetime with her. She doesn’t know who you are, so you don’t have to put up an act. The way she carries herself and handles issues can show her personality.

“Don’t get intimate with her if you still can’t make up your mind. At least, it will lessen the blow and hurt if you do divorce.”

Turning black in the face, Zachary uttered, “Mom, Nana said that York boys do not believe in divorce.”

Tania had no words.

The person who was adamant about getting a divorce six months later was him.

It was his own words, not hers. Tania only found out about it later.

“I’ll only have Serenity as my wife!”
