Serenity uttered with joy in her eyes. “Hang in there then. You’re thirty years old, Zachary. How can a thirty-year-old manly man be afraid of a shot?” It turned out Zachary was afraid of needles. Zachary had better prayed not to be sick if he ever crossed her again. She would get the doctor to administer shots to him for any illness he had. With Zachary tensing his facial muscles without a word, Serenity leaned into his ear and whispered, “Be a good boy and take the shot, Zachary. Then, I can go all the way with you and go back. Call it a reward since I rushed over to take care of you.” Zachary’s dark eyes were sparkling. He asked, “Can I?” Sitting straight, Serenity smiled through her eyes. “Once you get discharged from the hospital.“How about it? Are you going to take the shot?” Looking rather conflicted, Zachary rolled up his sleeve and put his hand out in the end. He closed his eyes and took the shot like a champ. While the injection was being administered, Zacha

Zachary had developed feelings for Serenity first and fell head over heels for her while Serenity had only made a tiny step forward. She could shrink back into her shell at any time. He fell silent. Zachary and Serenity often got into fights not just because their relationship was not strong enough. His personality and habits were parts of the reason too. It was unlikely that Serenity would change for him. She was not the type to rely on men completely. Serenity would not even let him in the loops of things that she could handle by herself. Hence, he had to change for her instead. “Why aren’t you saying anything? You always keep to yourself when I teach you how to chase your wife and build a relationship with her.” “I don’t know what to say,” Zachary replied honestly. Grandma May responded, “Why do I have such a senseless grandson like you? If your brothers and cousins are like you, I’d rather reunite with your grandpa than worry about all of you.” Her sons and daughter

As Liberty was spilling on the sides, she did not wear a gown. It was mainly because there were no suitable evening dresses for her. It was too late to tailor one to her size. Nevertheless, she put on some new clothes and painted her face naturally. She also wore a jewelry set gifted by Mrs. Stone that brought out a sense of privilege in her. Sonny wore a mini suit. The little man was handsome, to begin with, and the suit only gave prominence to his attractive looks. Any woman who had seen Sonny could not resist holding him. The little guy was timid at first, but he soon got used to it and became bolder. He would sweetly thank anyone who complimented his looks. In fact, he became the star of the event. “Ma’am, Mrs. Lewis and Mr. Duncan are here.” With a maid approaching Mrs. Stone and informing the arrival of the distinguished guests, Mrs. Stone led her daughter and niece out to welcome them. Mrs. Stone held Liberty’s hand and said with a smile, “Come with me to welcome M

Sonny recoiled behind his mother.Turning around, Liberty picked her son up and said, “Sonny, this is Mr. Lewis. You met him before.” Sonny simply stared at Duncan. As polite as he usually was, Sonny refused to say hello to Duncan. “The child is beautiful,” Mrs. Lewis complimented. Mrs. Stone’s elder niece was broad around the beam, but her son was rather handsome. “Duncan, your scary face scared the little guy. He won’t let you touch him.” Mrs. Lewis tore one into her youngest son. Since the incident when Duncan got a cut on his face, Mrs. Lewis was all for her son to go under the knife to remove the scar and get his good looks back. However, the headstrong b*stard refused to take her advice and do the surgery. He had no consideration for his mother who nearly had a heart attack and cried so many nights over the accident. Many years had passed, and the scar remained. The once hunk now found himself single at thirty-five… Hang on. Duncan was about to celebrate his th

“Don’t worry. I won’t give Mrs. Lewis a chance to make things difficult for me. Don’t be mad.” “You’re so forgiving, Liberty. I would never allow anyone to look at me that way if it were me. I’d make her pay.” Liberty smiled. How could she compare herself to Elisa? Elisa was an heiress born with a silver spoon.Liberty was an orphan who lost both parents at a young age. “I got your back from now on. You must let me know if anyone gives you an attitude or bullies you. I’ll kick their *sses for you.” “Jasmine’s here.” With Jasmine and her brother arriving at the scene, Liberty alerted Elisa and distracted her from the topic. Jasmine dragged her brother along to the event so she could get a free ride off him and feast to her heart’s content at the party. It was a pity that Serenity was not in Wiltspoon. “Jasmine.” Elisa and Liberty walked up to them. “Why did you take ages, Jasmine?” As Elisa drew close and intimately held Jasmine’s arm, many looked over and rec

It alerted Liberty’s internal alarm bells to ring. She callously asked, “Who told you that I got that much money? I didn’t work or have any income after I got married.” “Your mother-in-law said so. Liberty, my business has hit a rough patch and is in the red. I lost all the money I profited from over the years. I don’t have cash going into the business, so I was thinking if you could lend me a million bucks.” Liberty sneered in anger. There were no boundaries when it came to these people. They would not stop bugging her and Serenity. “You might want to look in the mirror and see if you can find your dignity, Mike. After all that you’ve done to me and my sister, you have the gall to ask me for money?! That’s right. I do have a million dollars, but I won’t lend it to you. I’d rather give the money to anyone else than you!” “Oh, come on, Liberty. We’re family after all. Look, you girls were stubborn then. You didn’t get your husband to pay us for family support. He married y

Despite John’s persistent questioning, the human resource managers would not reveal to him who else, apart from Stone Group, was putting an end to his professional career. John knew that someone had Serenity and her sister’s back. He thought it was Elisa at first, but now it seemed there was someone more powerful than Elisa standing behind the sister. Who could it be? The person had the power to stop anybody from hiring him in Wiltspoon. Having lost his confidence, John decided to wait until Grandmom was out of the hospital and send his grandparents back to their hometown before figuring something out in the new year. “What do we do now?” Stuart was anxious. “Whoever’s behind Serenity and her sister must be some sort of big shot. They’re the reason for our job losses and business failures. You’re feeling the pinch too even though you don’t run a huge business.“Mike, we can have a family meeting when your grandmom is out of the hospital. We should apologize sincerely as Se
Married at First Sight Chapter 685
Elisa was there to hear the entire conversation between Liberty and Mike. She angrily uttered, “I can’t believe they’re still hounding you for money.” “He wants to borrow money from me, saying that business is bad now, and he’s in the red. He needs to pump in a million bucks into operations.” “How shameless of him! And I thought I was the most brazen person in Wiltspoon. People called me shameless for going after Mr. York, but compared to your relatives, I’m considered modest.” Liberty ended up soothing Elisa instead. “Don’t get worked up over these people, Elisa. Serenity and I will never be on good terms with them. Those people can go to hell for all I care.” The hardship the Hunts faced right now was karma hitting back at them. “Come on, let’s enjoy the buffet and alcohol. Elisa, your pastry chef makes the best desserts. I’m going to eat to my heart’s content today!” Jasmine turned the subject of conversation elsewhere. Elisa laughed at her. “Desserts are fattening… Li

Austin slept for an hour and then got up. He had to prepare the barbecue ingredients for Isabella, and the marinade was very important. If the O'Connor family was having a barbecue, Austin would actually have it quite easy. He just needed to prepare the marinade whereas the actual ingredients would be prepared by someone else, so he did not need to do everything himself. Of course, if he wanted to take charge and do it all, that was fine too.While Austin was busy in the kitchen, he heard a crisp voice coming from the hall, laughing while asking, “Isabella, where’s that handsome chef of yours? Can I take a look at him? I made sure not to bring my husband along just to see him, so he wouldn’t get jealous.”Austin was speechless. Being handsome could be troublesome too; everyone treated him like a circus monkey. He was not even the most handsome among his brothers. Zachary was the most good-looking and charismatic. If these women saw him, would they go crazy?He heard Isabella sa

As for their future partners, they also had certain requirements. First, their family background should be comparable to the O’Connors, and secondly, they should be from this city or a nearby city—wherever it was, it could not be too far away.Austin had been working for Isabella for some time and had secretly figured out her requirements for a husband. He thought it would be easy when his nana had chosen Isabella for him, but he now understood that it was not as simple as he had assumed.Not only was it hard for Isabella to fall in love, but her refusal to move far from home would also be an obstacle in their relationship. Would he have to marry into her family?Hayden was also in charge of her family company, but she had a twin brother who was just as capable as her. After marrying into the York family, the company could be handed over to her brother to manage.Isabella’s brother had only just started elementary school, so it would take at least another twenty years before Loui

Soon, even Tati ran out and joined the others.Only Isabella remained seated in the gazebo, sipping her tea while watching the younger ones play joyfully. Her personality made it difficult for her to indulge in carefree fun like the rest. However, seeing them so happy lifted her own spirits, and she felt content.She found the tea Austin made to her liking. In the past, she rarely drank tea, as she mostly drank coffee. She would have two cups of coffee every day to keep herself going.After returning to his dorm, Austin lay on his bed but did not immediately fall asleep. Instead, he picked up his phone and chatted with his cousins. He was closest to Peter and River, given their close age gap, and they often chatted the most. At this moment, he was on a call with River.He asked about the situation at home and whether their nana was mad at him for not coming home for Christmas.River replied, “Everything’s fine at home. Nana’s not mad that you’re not coming home. In fact, she’s

Ruth silently told herself that from now on, she would prioritize her friend's happiness and stop helping others gather information.Isabella was a busy person, and she was only just turning twenty-seven. There was no need for her to rush into marriage and she did not need her friend to worry about it for her.Many strong and successful women were still single well into their thirties or forties.“We’re having a barbecue tonight. If you don’t mind, come join us. But don’t come with the intention of playing matchmaker for me. If that’s the case, I’m not inviting you,” Isabella said.Ruth laughed, “I promise I won’t meddle in that. You’re only twenty-seven and you’re still young, there’s no need to rush.”She had gotten married early, but Isabella was different. Isabella bore heavy responsibilities.Caleb had even mentioned that he was willing to marry into the O'Connor family instead, but Ruth knew that he would not be able to help Isabella much. As the son-in-law of the O'Conno

“Hey, Ruth.”“Hey, Isabella, you're on vacation now, right?” Ruth asked over the phone.“Yeah, I am. What's up? You’re not inviting me to that class reunion again, are you? I'm not interested in that, so you don't need to keep trying to persuade me.” Isabella made it clear that she was not interested in the class reunion.When she was still studying, she kept a low profile, so not many people knew she was an O'Connor. However, after her grandfather passed away, her parents lacked the ability to shoulder the heavy family responsibilities, so even before she graduated, she had to step up. That was when her classmates found out that she was actually the eldest daughter of the O'Connor family.As there were many daughters and few sons in her family, before her brother was born, many people were eager to take advantage of the situation to monopolize the family's wealth. To that end, many pursued her and her cousin Tati simply because they were the oldest and the ones who had taken u

Edith thought that even if the food was not delicious, she could still taste the finest delicacies just by looking at Austin. Well, she was a sucker for looks.Isabella chuckled, “Why thank me? I’m not the one preparing everything. Austin will be doing all that.”“I’m Ms. Isabella’s chef. Her wish is my command,” Austin added gently. What he meant was, that if she had not agreed or had not invited them, the other young ladies could forget about tasting the barbecue he prepared.Apart from Isabella, the other young ladies all laughed. Austin had another good quality—he was loyal to Isabella and truly orbited around her. Isabella glanced at Austin with a smile and said, “Austin, go take a break. We’ll stay here for a bit longer. Once those two boys are tired of playing, we’ll head back inside.”Austin nodded respectfully and exited the gazebo. He even played with the two young masters for a little while before heading back to his quarters.Edith watched Austin’s retreating figure

Meanwhile, at Dunboy Manor in Satbury, Isabella and her younger cousins were in the garden after lunch, sitting in the gazebo and watching Louis and Phillip play in the snow. Austin walked over carrying a tray. Soon, he reached the gazebo, his handsome face naturally lighting up with a warm smile. All the young O’Connor ladies thought the private chef Isabella hired this time was truly a pleasant sight. Not only was his cooking delicious, but he was also very handsome. His smile was warm like a spring breeze and just looking at his smile made the chill in the air feel less intense. They did not feel cold at all even with the snow falling outside, and truly, they were not cold. After all, they were dressed warmly in thick clothes.Usually, everyone was busy with their work or studies, and they rarely had the time or leisure to gather for a chat. When Isabella invited them to enjoy the snow together, they were happy to come, and watching the boys play so happily, completely unb

The gifts Mom prepared for him were only for Granddad, Grandmom, and Dad, so his aunt was upset and wanted him to call Mom and ask her to prepare Christmas gifts for her too. However, Aunt Chel was bad. He did not want to give her any Christmas gifts.“Sonny,” Olivia called out, but did not know what to say after that.In the end, she complained to Luke, “Why didn’t you have Hank take Sonny into his room when you were saying those things? It’s not good for him to hear all that. He’s still just a child.”“Now you realize Sonny is still a child? How old is he? If you're worried those words will taint his ears, you should’ve controlled your daughter better and stopped her from sprouting ill intentions again. How dare she still try to take advantage of Liberty?“If it weren’t for Sonny, does she think she would have even been able to open her shop, considering Zachary York’s means back then? She’d have gone bankrupt long ago and into massive debt. Serenity only left us a way out, a c

Chelsea cried, “Liberty has Serenity to support her, and she has such a rich aunt, and she's even from a wealthy family. I won’t even be able to catch up with her, no matter how hard I try. I just want to save some money for my children. Is that wrong?”“Liberty’s money came to her so easily and now she’s married into a rich family, but I can’t get anything out of her, so what’s wrong with me taking a little from Sonny? He’s young, but he has more money than I do at forty.“He’s already a rich heir now. So what if I take advantage of him a little? I’m just asking for a few boxes of prime beef cuts from his mom as a gift, yet you’re scolding me so harshly. I’m your daughter! Liberty is just your ex-daughter-in-law!“No matter how rich she is now, she’s not part of our family, but Sonny is a Brown, so what’s wrong with taking from her through him for our family? Just because of that, you’re scolding me.” A person like Chelsea would never think she was wrong. In fact, she would only
