Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Holden silently cursed Clarissa, but he knew he had to come back.

As long as Clarissa was alive and still the matriarch, if she told him to go east, he would go east; if she told him to go west, he wouldn't dare go north. Even if tonight's banquet was filled with danger, he had to face it with her.

Holden said, “Tonight's dinner is definitely filled with danger. You three should stay close to Kathryn. I can ensure your safety. Your mother won't let anything happen to her only daughter, so she'll make sure Kathryn is protected. Stick with Kathryn, and I guarantee you'll be safe."

Marco frowned, "Dad, that's just your guess. We're all your sons. If there's real danger, why would Mom call us all back? Don't overthink it."

Holden glared at Marco, "You never listen to me. If you had, and gone back to our Janzen family, I wouldn't have to worry tonight. Now, you still won't listen.

Your mother despises me. She usually doesn't even want to see me, and suddenly she asks me to move back. Do you really think it's just for the family to be together for the New Year? Why hasn't she called all your siblings back?"

"Even if your mother plans to take me with her when she dies, I'll come back. I'm over seventy; I've lived long enough. I want to see what Mr. Jimenez, who has occupied your mother's heart all these years, looks like."
