Married at First Sight Chapter 145
Everybody in the neighborhood knew how close the sisters were. Liberty kept the matter from her sister to save her the worry. “Thank you, Mrs. Zaks.” Serenity thanked Mrs. Zaks before continuing her quick walk toward her sister’s residential building while dragging Zachary along. “My brother-in-law was angry that my sister hadn’t cooked lunch for him when I dropped her off the other day. Hank looked like he wanted to hit my sister, but he wiped that look off his face when he saw me,” Serenity babbled to Zachary. “Why didn’t my sister let me know?” Serenity felt bad for her sister. Women gained a second chance in life when they got married. Her sister’s second chance in life did not seem smooth sailing. Hank’s attitude toward Liberty changed for the worse less than three years into the marriage. Zachary replied firmly, “Your sister doesn’t want you to worry. Mrs. Zaks said that your sister chased your brother-in-law down a few streets with a knife. It means your sister had

Serenity’s sister was her rock. Now that Serenity was all grown up and had the means, it was her turn to protect her sister. “Seren.” Liberty held onto her sister and said, “Don’t go. The injury is only superficial. Plus, I didn’t let him get away with it. I chased him down a few streets with a knife and scared him out of his wits. I trust he won’t be violent to me anymore.” “If he has done it once, he will do it again, Liberty. He won’t know fear if you don’t fight back when he lays his hands on you. He’ll only assault you again.” There should be zero tolerance toward domestic violence! “I know. That’s why I didn’t give in and beat him up too. I even went after him with a knife. You should’ve seen the scared look on his face. His legs were shaking. I heard that you must win the first fight between couples, and I won! He should think twice before laying his hands on me next time.” Liberty pulled her sister back firmly, keeping Serenity from getting even with Hank. “He’s bac

As the sisters only had each other for many years, Liberty understood Serenity well enough to know that her sister would stick up for her. In a deliberate effort to get her sister to stick around, Liberty took out a bottle of wine and enjoyed a glass with Serenity until midnight before letting the couple leave. Serenity was a lightweight, and Liberty took out a stiff drink. After a glass of wine, Serenity found herself tipsy. She was feeling dizzy and staggering in her footsteps by the time she left her sister’s place. Liberty saw the young couple off at the door. She used to attend social engagements with her boss when she was working back then. Having learned to hold her liquor, Liberty could handle a glass of wine just fine. “Zachary, Seren’s drunk. Please take good care of her,” Liberty urged her brother-in-law. She got her sister drunk, so Serenity would not go after Hank for payback. Liberty was afraid the Browns would gang up on Serenity if she went to the Browns’ r

With Zachary waking her up, Serenity sat up and rubbed her eyes innocently before staring straight at Zachary without blinking. Suddenly, she extended her arms and said with a sparkle in her beautiful eyes, “Carry me out of the car, Handsome.” Wincing his face, Zachary reached his hand out to knock her head. His tone turned chilly. “I warned you. Don’t act drunk and take advantage of me. You might be intoxicated, but you’re not wasted. You’re aware of your actions.” Serenity was indeed aware. However, the alcohol made her rather impulsive. Despite his multiple warnings, Serenity could not keep her hands to herself. No way a big man like him was scared of a young lady’s harassment. He would be made a laughingstock if word were to get out. “Zachary…” Serenity giggled and asked, “Do you have some sort of problem like the heir of the Yorks?” He was more innocent than her in the affairs between men and women. With alcohol getting to her head, Serenity could not help bu

On the contrary, Zachary was not the least bit angry. He just did not want Serenity to catch him smiling. It was only when he walked into the residential building that he realized his wife did not keep up with him. Stopping in his tracks, he turned around and asked solemnly, “Are you planning to spend the night standing there?” Snapping out of her thoughts, Serenity ran over compliantly. “No hard feelings, Mr. York?” Zachary gave her a chilly look. Well, his face tended to give out that vibe, to begin with. Poking her forehead, he remarked, “It better not happen again!” Acting like a disciplined child, Serenity raised her hand and promised, “I promise it won’t happen again.” Without another word, Zachary turned around and walked on. Serenity quickly followed behind him. Staring at his muscular back, Serenity felt the alcohol wearing off. She muttered to herself, ‘Nana told me to pounce on him, but I don’t have the confidence to warm the heart of an ice prince.’ However,

A few minutes later, Serenity mumbled to herself, “Do you think I want to go into your room? If one day you were to beg me, I wouldn’t set foot inside at all.” Having realized that she also had the habit of locking her bedroom door, Serenity stopped rambling. Ultimately, this was the aftereffect of marrying at first sight. After guzzling down the hangover cure Zachary made for her, Serenity returned to her room and turned in for the night. It was a quiet night throughout. The following day, Serenity woke up to the sun shining on her face. She felt around the nightstand for her phone and looked at the time. It was past seven o’clock. Even as an early riser, Serenity barely got up at this hour today. She was usually awake by six in the morning. This was the result of having one glass of wine last night. It was a good thing she did not wake up with a headache. She was hungry though. Serenity felt bad for her sister last night and that resulted in her not much eating at h

“I’m not saying that you can’t stand up for your sister, but there’s no turning back once your sister and your brother-in-law have a falling out. I definitely am on your side with you sorting it out with your brother-in-law.” Serenity grimly ate her mushroom and replied, “You have a point. I will control my temper and refrain from hitting anyone, but I’ll still leave him a warning. I don’t want the Browns to think they can pick on my sister just because she doesn’t have a family.” Seeing that she took his advice, Zachary left the conversation at that. After filling their bellies, they sat for a little while before heading out together. Knowing that Serenity was worried about her sister, Zachary took a detour to Liberty’s place so Serenity could check on her sister before dropping her off at the shop.Serenity was touched by his thoughtfulness. She had cautioned herself against hitting on Zachary last night, but his kindness led her to throw that decision out the window. J
Married at First Sight Chapter 152
“Mr. York, can you stop flaunting your relationship? I have no plans on getting married now.” Now that Zachary bade his single life goodbye, he should not drag Josh into a married life. For Zachary to persistently show off the perks of having a wife, he was trying to persuade Josh to ditch his wonderful singlehood too. “Huh? Why did you pick this outfit today?” Josh’s keen eyes picked up on Zachary not wearing his usual suit label. He asked out of curiosity, “Why the change of brands?” Zachary was a stubborn man. He would stick to the same brand for years once he had a penchant for a certain brand. He was not one to switch between labels. With Zachary’s taste, the price of the suits he wore were exorbitant. However, the one he had on today did not cost more than a few hundred bucks. This was so unlike Zachary. Following Zachary’s footsteps, Josh asked with concern, “Mr. York, is our company facing a financial crisis? Are you wearing clothes from the outlet store to save

Hunter could not fall asleep before receiving an update. He honestly did not like Caroline. He despised her from the bottom of his heart. Nevertheless, he still felt a hint of sadness when his sons were going to kill her. After all, she was his daughter with his blood running in her. “Carol…”Hunter murmured, “You should blame yourself. Your brothers couldn’t tolerate you anymore because you went overboard. You brought this upon yourself.“When everything’s over, I’ll place flowers on your and Belinda’s graves.“I hope you’re doing well in the afterlife. Just don’t come to me in my dreams too often.“I’m old and easily frightened. I might have a mental breakdown if you torture me in my dreams.”“What did you say, Mr. Clark?” Hunter’s housekeeper asked. Hunter immediately picked up his spoon. He replied, “I was sending my son a voice message. I wasn’t talking to you. You can go on with your work.”The housekeeper nodded. She looked from the entrance of the dining area

“Okay. You can go anywhere you want. I’ll always be with you.”Darren added, “No matter what you do or where you go in the future, Ms. Caroline, you can never send me away. You can’t do this again.“It’s too dangerous. Your life is at risk if something happens. It’s not worth doing this for the likes of those people.”The Clark brothers could have really killed Caroline. “This won’t happen again. It’ll just be this once. They’re not worth the risk. Let’s just consider this as paying off my debt of gratitude toward my mom for giving birth to me and for the love she had for me in the end.”Caroline added, “I broke all ties with my family last night.“Have you sent the money to my dad?“This will be a one-off payment. We probably won’t be in contact anymore.”After speaking, Caroline felt depressed. She truly did not have much luck when it came to family.“I’ve prepared the money. I’ll meet Mr. Clark a few days later after your injury gets better.”Darren wanted Caroline to f

Although Jacob and Michael were older than her, Caroline fought back valiantly and threw anything she could reach at them. She even chased after them around town with a billhook before. Jacob and Michael were pale from fear. When Carmen tried to avenge her sons, Caroline did not hesitate to swing the billhook at her too. Her reckless resistance shocked the Dott family. From then onward, they no longer dared to hit her. Even so, Caroline had to live with them. Naturally, she was still abused. She could never eat and sleep well. She was not given nice clothes either. Marc Dott, who was responsible for changing her life, never stopped his family or defended her even once. Caroline despised her adoptive father the most. He ended up dying in prison due to an illness. Caroline knew Belinda had gotten someone to kill him. She did not pity Marc at all and even thought death was too light of a punishment for him. After Caroline returned to the Fisher family, Carmen and h

“I want to touch your face, Darren.”Although Darren was still straight-faced and angry, he bent over so that his face was within her reach. “Look at you. Your face feels as hard as marble.“You shouldn’t let such a handsome face be so stiff. I don’t like seeing you with a straight face. I like it when you’re gentle.”Darren said unhappily, “I’m not a gentle person, Ms. Caroline.”He had received intense training at the center. How could he possibly have a warm personality after going through all that?He simply looked softer when he was in a good mood. Caroline probably found him gentle due to his handsome face and politeness. Despite his words, his expression softened. “Don’t be angry, Darren. I’m fine. I didn’t lose a leg or an arm. My head is still intact. I wasn’t chopped to pieces and fed to the fish.“I even calculated your speed and deliberately let them scratch my arm. I wouldn’t have given them the opportunity to injure me the second time.“It was also their fi

It was possible that the caretakers of the Fisher family cemetery would not even allow her brothers to visit the graves.The Fisher family members harbored deep resentment toward Belinda.“Liberty, don’t worry. I’m not going to die. I don’t feel like I’ve lost out by doing this.”“Shush—enough with the talk about dying early in the morning. We’re all going to live long lives.”Caroline smiled again, “Alright, alright, we’ll all live long lives. Stop looking like the sky is falling. Seeing you like this makes me want to cry.”Liberty scolded her, “Don’t you cry. I’m just heartbroken, so heartbroken. Why didn’t you trust me?”“Liberty, it’s not that I don't trust you. It's that I don't trust my three brothers.”Liberty could not say anything to that.“Ms. Caroline, you must be hungry. I bought you a bowl of plain oats porridge. You have a cold, so you have to eat simple meals for the next few days.”Darren returned with a bowl of oats.He then said to Liberty and her husband, “

Liberty had said that she would not bother with the Clark brothers as long as they kept a low profile or stayed away from the center of Jensburg, not provoking Liberty or trying to seize control of the Fisher family.However, Caroline did not believe her brothers would do nothing.If she did not put them away, they would do everything in their power to stop Liberty from taking over the Fisher family, and in the end, it would lead to the destruction of their family and leave them with absolutely nothing.However, this was a Pyrrhic victory for her.“She just wouldn’t listen and refused to let me get involved,” Liberty said as she sat by the bed, gently touching Caroline's still-swollen face with a heart full of concern.“Mr. Fletcher, you should use ice to help reduce the swelling on her face. It will help her recover faster.”Darren replied, “I’ve been applying ice to her face from time to time. Plus, even Madam Belinda couldn’t change Ms. Caroline’s mind once she made a decision

Caroline had inherited Belinda’s ruthlessness, after all.“I’m heading to the hospital right away.”Hearing that Caroline had been rescued but was now in the emergency room, Liberty could not sleep any longer. She immediately threw off the covers and got out of bed.Duncan quickly followed suit.“Duncan, it’s still dark outside, and it’s cold. You should get some more sleep.” Liberty, out of consideration for her husband's limited mobility and his discomfort with the cold Jensburg spring, wanted Duncan to stay home and rest. She could go to the hospital alone.Duncan said as he changed his clothes, “No, I’ll go with you. I may not be able to walk long distances, but I can manage a short walk.“I’ll get the bodyguards to come with us to the hospital, so you don’t have to worry about taking care of me.”Although Caroline’s injuries were the result of her own plan, Duncan still did not feel comfortable letting Liberty go to the hospital alone.He was afraid something might happe

Meanwhile, in the master bedroom in Fisher Manor, Liberty suddenly woke up after a two-hour sleep.She sat up abruptly. Her movement startled her husband beside her.“What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?” Duncan also sat up, turning on the bedroom light, and asked with concern.“I dreamed that Caroline was in trouble. She refused to let me follow her. Her plan was to just get injured, but I’m so afraid her life’s in danger.”Having spent so much time with Caroline, Liberty had come to admire this aunt of hers.If it were not for the grudges of the previous generation, she and Caroline could have become close friends.Even now, the two of them held mutual respect for each other.Among the Fisher family members, she only respected Caroline; even Hayden only respected Caroline.Hayden had even once considered matchmaking Caroline with Hugh. However, Hugh did not like Caroline, and Caroline had no feelings for Hugh either. Caroline admired Hayden, but Hayden was a woman.After

Although they could not take over the Fisher family legacy, their mother was the head of the family, making them the young masters of the household.They had lived a life of luxury since childhood, never experiencing hardship or poverty. They enjoyed a life of indulgence, spending money like it was water, and were flattered and fawned over by others.Suddenly, they fell from the clouds to the cold, hard ground.No one flattered them anymore. No one curried favor with them. When they made mistakes or caused trouble, no one was there to cover for them.Relying on their own abilities, they could not earn much money. They no longer had the glory of spending money freely like they did not even know what money was.Thus, they could not accept it.Even though they had more than ordinary people, they were still unsatisfied.They wanted to return to their former glory, to the days when they were flattered, praised, and fawned over; to have everyone at their beck and call, living a life o
