Married at First Sight Chapter 381

Chapter 381

Zachary looked at Serenity, who was also gazing back at him. He asked, “Would you like to visit your sister’s house?”

Serenity glanced at the time on her phone and replied, “Hank won’t be back at this hour.”

She paused briefly before adding, “My sister can manage her own matters. I’ll help her as much as I can if she needs it.”

Zachary fell silent.

He began texting someone on his phone.

A few minutes later, he suddenly said, “You seem a bit down. Why don’t we call it a day? I can accompany you wherever you’d like to go.”

After a moment of silence, Serenity replied, “I don’t have anywhere in mind.”

Recently, Serenity’s mood had taken a downturn whenever her sister’s marriage was mentioned.

Serenity and Liberty had been each other’s support for many years. After Liberty got married, Serenity believed her sister had found a good home and that a lifetime of happiness awaited her. However, the harsh reality was a bitter wake-up call. Liberty’s marriage was crumbling, while Serenity and Zachary were still striving to strengthen their relationship, leaving Serenity uncertain about their future.

Serenity pondered, ‘Will our lives always be this difficult?’ “If you’re willing to trust me, just come with me and let me handle the rest.” She met his dark, deep eyes, often so cold that she could not discern his thoughts.

Yet, in that moment, Serenity recognized the concern he held for her in his gaze.

A warmth spread through her heart.

Serenity nodded. “Alright. I’ll get ready now. We can go out for a walk and enjoy the cool breeze.”

Suddenly, she noticed Snowball lying under the cash register and asked softly, “What about Mrs. Lane, Snowball, and the kittens? Should we take them home first?”

Zachary reached out

her.

“What do you want?”

“Your car keys.”

Serenity pulled out her car keys and inquired, “Can Mrs. Lane drive?”

“Yes.”

The York family required their workers to be able to drive, as they lived far from the city center. If the workers were unable to drive, getting to work would be inconvenient.

Zachary took the car keys, turned his head, and called out in a deep voice, “Mrs. Lane.”

Mrs. Lane, who had been hiding in the corner to avoid being a third wheel, quickly approached. “Mr. York.”

Zachary handed Serenity’s car keys to Mrs. Lane and said, “Serenity and I won’t be going home just yet. Here are the car keys. You can take Snowball and the kittens home first.”

He then took out a bunch of keys and removed a house key. “This is the key to the house.”

Mrs. Lane accepted the keys. “Thanks. I’ll take Snowball and the kittens home first.”

She thought, ‘Mr. York should have let me leave with the pets earlier so I wouldn’t have laughed until my stomach hurt.’

Mrs. Lane hurried off with the pets.

Serenity stood beside Zachary and said, “Let me bring in the shelves at the door first.”

Zachary silently stood up, turned around, and went outside to help her bring in the shelves before putting them away. “What did you stock up on this time?”

Zachary pointed to the results of Elisa’s shopping spree, thinking they were new supplies for the store. Serenity glanced at them and replied, “That’s Ms. Stone’s haul. She was in a bad mood earlier and bought all those things but didn’t really need them, so she gave them to me. There are also two more large boxes of toys for Sonny. Earlier today, Hank’s mother brought Lucas here just to grab those toys from Sonny.”

She only shared this with

Zachary mentioned Lucas’s argument with Sonny over the toys but did not clearly inform him that those toys also belonged to Elisa.
