Married at First Sight Chapter 825

Chapter 825

Serenity struggled and finally pushed him away, but he was determined to continue. Anger surged within her, and she swung her hand at him.

The slap echoed throughout the room, shocking both Brandt and the maids.

Zachary was equally stunned.

He noticed Serenity’s face, flushed with rage. As she glared at him, her eyes began to redden, and tears pooled at the corners.

Once again, he had caused her pain and anger.

Zachary felt a wave of self-blame wash over him.

He had hoped that his warmth would help her calm down…

Brandt quickly regained his composure and sent a message to Sam, the actual butler. Brandt was merely filling in for him while Sam was on leave, but he realized he could no longer manage the situation alone. He needed to call Sam back.

This was alarming. The missus had actually raised her hand against Mr. Zachary.

This was a scene they had never witnessed during their years of service to the Yorks.

The men of the York family had always cherished their wives. As long as they were married and their feelings were stable, they enjoyed a loving relationship. While small quarrels or misunderstandings occasionally arose, they were always resolved quickly. No one had ever resorted to physical confrontation like the missus had.

“Seren.”

Zachary gently grasped the hand Serenity had used to strike him and asked, “Does your hand hurt?”

Serenity pulled her hand away and turned her face, but then raised her hand to rub her eyes. She turned back to him and said, “I’m sorry, Zachary, but please allow me some dignity, okay?”

She despised it when he forced a kiss on her during her moments of anger, feeling as though he showed no respect for her feelings.

Zachary gazed at her.

deep contemplation, Serenity turned back to Zachary.

Chapter 82

He lost control. Upon seeing the divorce agreement she had drafted, he erupted in anger.

Yes, he was wrong for lying to her, but she had taken the drastic step of preparing a divorce agreement. His impulsiveness stemmed from her refusal to give him any leeway.

“If you have an affair, use violence against me, or lie to me repeatedly, I’ll leave you,” Serenity had said before.

In that moment, Zachary understood that Serenity was a woman of her word.

“Zachary, we’re both a mess right now, and neither of us is thinking clearly. Please let me leave so we can take a breather. Is there any point in keeping me under house arrest? It will only infuriate me further.”

“You’re overbearing. You’re consistently self-centered and inconsiderate,” she continued.

“Think about it. If our roles were reversed, and I had lied to you for over four months, how would you feel? You deceived me, yet you won’t allow me to express my anger? Am I expected to celebrate your betrayal with confetti?”

Serenity recognized that Zachary’s overbearing nature was inherent to him; trying to change this aspect of him felt like a futile endeavor.

At that moment, his domineering attitude and paranoia were suffocating her.

“Divorce is not an option!”

Zachary said in a low voice, “Seren, I’m not claiming I was right to deceive you, nor am I forbidding you from being angry. You can hit me or scold me, but please, don’t mention divorce again.”

“Let’s not discuss divorce anymore, okay? I can’t bear the thought of losing you.”

Serenity glanced away, avoiding his gaze.

The idea of ending the marriage crossed her mind, fueled by her anger upon discovering he was the heir of the wealthy York family and realizing she had been deceived the entire time.

After a few moments of silence,

After a moment of silence, she looked at him again and said, “Could you lend me your charger? My phone is dead.” Zachary fixed his gaze on her intently. If her phone was out of battery, she wouldn’t be able to reach anyone outside, allowing him to keep her by his side. Yet, he knew that wasn’t a genuine solution to the issue at hand. Serenity maintained her gaze, and the hall remained eerily quiet.
