Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 753

Chapter 753

“How have you two been getting along since getting the marriage license?” Ben pried.

He was swept into a whirlwind marriage with Jane, but they had known each other for eleven years.

At least, they were old acquaintances.

Besides, Ben had his eye on Jane from the very beginning. He had repressed his

feelings for her and did not show affection of any kind as she was not of age. Things changed when Jane was pressured by her family to marry–she had to hire him as a boyfriend.

Ben took the chance to set Jane up and make their contractual relationship official.

He and Jane got married knowing each other, but it was different from Zachary who married a complete stranger.

Ben had a yen for some hot gossip.

“I made it clear to my nana before going ahead with the marriage that I could marry her, but it was my business how I managed the marriage thereafter. My nana wasn’t to interfere.

“I didn’t tell my wife who I was, so I could observe her in her raw moments and see if she was as independent as Nana said she was. At first… we weren’t used to having each other around.”

It even slipped his mind more than a handful of times that he had a wife.

She too was not accustomed to being someone’s spouse.

There had been a few frictions, but they got through them through communication.

“Then you got used to having her around and developed feelings for her after spending time together? It can be scary when you get used to something or someone. They kind of grow on you.”

Remy hurriedly pulled a napkin to wipe the table. While clearing his throat, Remy embarrassedly smiled and uttered, “Sorry. Sorry. I couldn’t help myself.”

That was hilarious of the Yorks‘ missus. She actually helped her love rival to chase after her husband.

Ben was dying to laugh, but he was able to pull himself together unlike Remy.

“How close are the cousins?”

Zachary answered, “Her cousin only came into the picture recently. She’s Elisa, the heiress of the Stones. Mrs. Stone had been searching for her sister, who is also my mother–in–law. I feel like a deer in headlights to have a cringy and cliché story happening to me in real life.

“My wife’s close to her cousin. I showed off my wedding band to Ms. Stone, and she stopped harassing me once she realized I was married. However, it would take time before she could let go of her feelings for me. Clive met with me after catching on about me and my wife. He wants me to keep it that way because Ms. Stone might not be able to handle the truth.

“I want to be truthful with my wife now, but I fear she might be able to accept it. Worse still if she feels guilty and sorry for Ms. Stone since her cousin likes me.”
