Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

After a brief silence on the phone, Clarissa said to Kathryn, “Pedro is yours, and he will always be yours. I never said I wanted to take him away, and I don’t have the authority to do so.”

Once an all-purpose assistant is assigned to the head of the family or their successor, only the master they serve can decide their fate.

Clarissa continued, “I want to talk to Pedro. Have him come to the company. I’m still here.”

Kathryn, wary, asked, “Mom, what do you want to talk to Pedro about? Shouldn’t you tell me first before telling him?”

“Kathryn, don’t you trust me? I’m your mother. Would I harm you? Pedro is yours and will always be yours. I have no power to change that. If you don’t want him to come to me, I’ll go to the hospital and talk to him alone. But if I do that, I might get upset and do something you won’t like. You have two choices.”

Kathryn sighed and said, “I’ll tell him. But Mom, please send Dad and my brothers back. I don’t need them to take care of me.”

Kathryn could leave the hospital in a couple of days. She was almost fully recovered. It was Pedro who insisted she stay for a few extra days to rest.
