Married at First Sight Chapter 490

Chapter 490

The eldest son of the York family had never experienced such a painful pinch in his life.

It hurt!

“Is Nana awake?” Serenity asked as she turned over to get out of bed.

She wanted to slip back into her room before Grandma May woke up.

“She’s awake.”

“So early?”

Serenity, ready to make a quick exit, halted in her tracks. “Nana will see me if I go out like this.”

“We’re husband and wife.”

Zachary disapproved of her sneaking around.

Serenity smiled. “You’re right; we’re husband and wife. There’s nothing to hide. Nana will be pleased to see us together. She knows we’ve been sleeping in separate rooms since our marriage and has always encouraged me to do all sorts of things for you.”

Zachary looked at her in silence.

He felt utterly helpless with his nana.

Yet, he was mostly grateful now. Without her persistent nudging, he might not have married Serenity.

“I’m heading back to my room to change. What would you like to eat today? I’ll cook for you.”

“I picked up takeout for breakfast, so there’s no need to cook.”

Serenity glanced at him in surprise before leaving the room.

Zachary’s expression darkened. What did those looks mean?

Was it odd that he got takeout for her? Would that make the sun rise in the west?

“Good morning, Nana.”

Serenity stepped out and greeted the old lady as if nothing was amiss.

“Good morning, Serenity.”

Grandma May looked at her fondly. “You must be hungry. Zack got up early and braved…

The cold wind and rain led to Wiltspoon Hotel, where he packed breakfast to take home. He mentioned that you enjoy the food there.

Serenity’s heart warmed as she listened, feeling cherished.

“I’m not picky. He could have just grabbed any breakfast from a nearby restaurant.”

Grandma May laughed. “You’ll tire of eating the same thing every day. It’s nice to try something different now and then. It’s cold today, so go change your clothes and put on a jacket.”

Serenity hummed and pretended to be calm as she returned to her room. Once the door was closed, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Ring, ring, ring…

The phone rang.

Serenity pulled out her phone, expecting it to be her sister calling, but it was her best friend, Jasmine.

“Jasmine, I’ll be there soon.”

Serenity assumed Jasmine was reminding her to help out at the store because it was busy.

“Seren, I haven’t gone to the store today. I have a cold. I felt dizzy when I woke up this morning, so I took my temperature and discovered I have a high fever. I’ll need to go to the hospital later. I just wanted to give you a heads-up that you’ll need to watch the store today.”

“How did you catch a cold? Did you dress for fashion instead of warmth? It’s raining today, and it feels like winter. Make sure to wear more layers. The store belongs to us, so it’s only natural for me to watch it. Please don’t stand on ceremony with me.

Quickly get yourself to the hospital. Don’t drive—ask your brother to take you.”

Jasmine responded with a hum. “My mom will take me to the hospital, so I won’t trouble my brother. I’ll see the doctor first.”

“Okay, take care.”

“You too. Make sure to wear more layers.”

After encouraging each other, Jasmine hung up first.

Since she couldn’t go to the store today, Serenity needed to hurry instead of lingering. She quickly changed her clothes and freshened up.

Then, she grabbed her usual purse and headed out.

“Nana and Zachary, I’ll go to the store first. I’ll bring back breakfast to eat.”

In a swift series of movements, she walked to the table, picked up her portion of breakfast, stuffed it into her bag, and left.

“Wait, Serenity,” Zachary called out to her.
