Married at First Sight

Chapter 171

Chapter 171 Peering at Serenity‘s pasta dish, Zachary was feeling bummed out. There she was, eating well. How could she be sitting next to him, enjoying her meal while he was

upset?

The girl… was heartless. Ultimately, they were different from other couples. Theirs was a marriage of convenience without feelings involved.

Bottling up his frustration, Zachary asked glumly, “Isn‘t Ms. Stone the heiress of Stone Group? Why did she look for you? Since when have you two been acquainted?”

Zachary played dumb despite knowing the answer as he got his intel directly from Elisa. He never once mentioned Elisa in Serenity‘s presence.

Serenity recounted the story of how she met Elisa to Zachary.

It aligned with Elisa‘s version of events.

“Ms. Stone came and opened up to me about her feelings for the heir of the Yorks. Her decision to chase after Mr. York wasn‘t quite well received by her family. She was feeling down and asked me for ideas to make advances at Mr. York.”

Zachary raised his brow.

Did Elisa actually seek Serenity‘s help to woo him?

With a deadpan face, he asked Serenity, “What suggestions did you give? Have you ever gone after boys?”

“I don‘t have the experience. My first relationship ended as soon as it began. I‘m basically a blank slate when it comes to relationships.” Tilting her head, Serenity glanced at Zachary and added. “Of course, I‘m better than you. You‘re more of a blank state than I am. Haha. You jumped when I touched your face. You‘re wary of me as if I‘m some pervert.”

Zachary grimaced and gave Serenity a dirty look. Serenity let out a chuckle before turning her attention back to her plate of pasta. She even licked the plate of remaining cheese sauce clean. After she was done, she gave herself a pat on the back. “My mac and cheese is the best.”

“Let‘s have pasta tomorrow.”

Huh?

Zachary extended his arm out to poke her forehead before telling her off. “Aren‘t you trying to get me to eat since you keep bragging about your mac and cheese? We‘ll have it tomorrow then.”

Serenity slapped his hand away. “I‘m pretty good at

cooking. Your family said my food was delicious. Alright then. I‘ll make you some pasta tomorrow if that‘s what you want.”

“Did you give Ms. Stone any tips on chasing Mr. York?”

“I guess so. I taught her all the know–how to harass Mr. York. She should play a damsel in distress on the route that Mr. York often takes. I’m sure he‘d come to her rescue so long as his heart isn‘t made of stone. They would have a chance to spend time together if Mr. York

“Feelings are developed through bonding time. All they need is a chance to be alone. I don‘t know what Mr. York looks like. He was at the party Jasmine dragged me to. However, the crowd was all over him. Plus, he had a group of bodyguards. I didn‘t manage to see him in person.”

Serenity kept her gaze on Zachary while talking. “You can‘t even meet your boss at your workplace, never mind outsiders. If I have a say, your boss is too proud of a man. He refuses to give time to Ms. Stone. I‘m sure he‘ll fall in love with Ms. Stone if he gets to know her.”

It took everything in Zachary to force his raging fury back down. Still maintaining a straight face, he said callously,“ My boss will never fall in love with Ms. Stone. Serenity, you best stay out of it. Should one day my boss find out you were the one giving Ms. Stone advice on courtship, he might take his anger out on you. Your bookshop would

probably close down. “Not to mention, your husband might lose his job.”

Blinking her eyes, Serenity asked, “Is your boss that petty? Everybody has the right to love. What‘s so wrong with Ms. Stone loving him? I heard that no one has ever asked him out, nor does he have a girlfriend even though he‘s old and practically a middle–aged man. Since Ms. Stone took the initiative to chase after him, it means he has his charms. He should be thanking Ms. Stone for that.” What kind of logic was that?
