Married at First Sight

Chapter 164

Not only was Elisa’s family against her courting Zachary, but her best friends also persuaded her to let it go, saying that it was not an easy pursuit with Zachary. Besides, her family and the Yorks were rivals in business.

Only Serenity encouraged her to go for it.

Elisa clung to Serenity, deeming the latter to be her confidante.

“I wouldn’t go after Mr. York despite his brilliance if he had a wife or girlfriend. I’m a good catch, so I don’t need to steal someone else’s man. The fact is that he’s single. Now that I’ve found the one, I must put it into action and try. Even if nothing comes out of it, I won’t regret trying.”

Elisa let it all out of her chest.

Serenity had caught wind about Elisa’s haughtiness, but she had the means to be lofty, spoiled, and willful after all. All Serenity saw in Elisa was an ordinary lovesick girl.

It appeared to Serenity that Elisa was in a positive frame of mind,

Elisa had a non distorted outlook on life.

Serenity had overheard some gossip about Mr. York when she accompanied her best friend to the dinner party the other night Serenity knew that the man had been single.

The heir of the Yorks always had bodyguards around him to stop any young women from getting close.

He never gave any young women a chance. Nevertheless, Elisa was bold to profess her feelings publicly and became the talk of the town together with Mr. York.

“You aren’t wrong, Ms. Stone. Everybody has the right to go after true love. As you said, Mr. York is single without a girlfriend in sight. You’re single without a boyfriend too. It’s not illegal or against morality and ethics for you to woo him. It’s normal for you to act this way.”

Elisa bobbed her head.

“Serenity, you’re the first person ever to give me the green light to woo Mr. York.” Serenity smiled, realizing, at last, the reason Elisa came to look for her.

Elísa wanted to confide in the one person who took her side and stood behind her when she could not get the support of her friends and family.

“Serenity, have you ever dated anyone?”

“Me? I saw a guy once during college. The relationship kind of fizzled out when we walked different paths after graduation”

Many student couples ended their relationship and went

their separate ways after graduating from school,

Such was the case with Serenity and her first love.

“Um… Who went after who? Do you have experience making the first move on men? Teach me a few tricks of your own.”

Serenity replied, “Hm… It was more of puppy love for my first relationship. It ended as soon as it began. It wasn’t the case of who initiated the relationship. We started seeing each other. Then we developed feelings for each other and grew close.

“We went to the mall and enjoyed good meals at the restaurants. We graduated before we could even hold hands. We split up and went our own way after that.” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Elisa was dumbstruck for a moment before she found her voice. “That’s terrible , Serenity. The relationship ended before you could hold hands. It’s like it ended before it started.”

“It was regrettable. My dating experience has been blank since graduation.”

“It’s okay. I’ll be single with you.”

Serenity burst into laughter. “I don’t think there’s anything bad about being single. I have my freedom. Family becomes your responsibility when you get married. It’s not as good as being single.”

Just like her sister

Although Serenity was no longer single, she signed a contract with Zachary. It was a marriage of convenience. Since they were not to disclose their marriage to anyone, Serenity felt her life now was no different than her singlehood.
