Married at First Sight

Chapter 66

Chapter 66 “Josh!”

Zachary was peeved.

It was the truth when Zachary said it was all for his pride.

Serenity was his wife. It would be a slap on his face if Serenity was harassed. He could not possibly let that happen.

“Fine, fine. I let you be. It‘s all for your pride and dignity. Alright, I‘ll look into the matter. Your wife is Serenity Hunt, right? You could‘ve asked Duncan to help you. As your administrative executive, I had a lot on my plate with the business side of things. I don‘t even have time to get a drink of water.”

Getting up, Zachary went to pour a glass of water. “Drink up. I don‘t want you going around saying you don‘t have time to even drink water.”

“Well, that took you long enough.”

“I thought you weren‘t thirsty. You would‘ve poured yourself a drink if you were. When have you ever asked for permission? Are we buddies or what?” Josh chuckled.

“Duncan doesn‘t know how to keep a tight lid.”

“That’s true. He can be a blabbermouth.”

Josh shuddered.

“Don‘t forget to get me detailed information about all her family members.” Learning from Serenity about her family, Zachary had a feeling that trouble was brewing for the sisters.

He could wash his hand off Liberty‘s affairs but not his wife’s.

Zachary had never fought an unsure battle. The Hunts could do their worst because Zachary had Serenity‘s back all the way.

“Doesn‘t your wife only have a sister?”

“She has a bunch of money–hungry relatives.”

Josh replied, “Oh. No wonder you keep your identity and marriage hidden. Things get complicated with that kind of family around.”

Zachary remained without a word.

He did not withhold his identity and marriage because of the money–hungry relatives. Zachary‘s intention was to observe Serenity‘s character for himself. Zachary had

labeled Serenity as a conniving woman when Nana nagged him into marrying Serenity.

However, it seemed he was led by his own preconception and got off on the wrong foot with Serenity.

Still, Serenity had to go through a test of character.

Zachary would come clean about everything and retreat from the agreement when he decided Serenity was worth spending the rest of his life with. They would then become a couple for real and grow old together.

“Anything else?”

Josh took two sips of water and asked.

“That‘s all. Get back to work.”

Josh put down the glass and got up to leave when Zachary threw a question. “Josh, how do you apologize when you‘re wrong about a woman?”.

“What‘s your mouth for? It‘s to say sorry. Do you need me to teach you that?”

Zachary, “...”

“Oh, I got it. Are you asking me what‘s an appropriate gift of apology? Girls love flowers, jewelry, perfume, skincare, and all that stuff. She‘ll get the idea if you give her any of these.”
