Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

-Kathryn stayed quiet for a moment, then said, "He should stay longer after going back home. Liberty, tell my cousin to give me a few days, and I'll vacate the mansion so you can move in. I still stand by what I said before."

Liberty didn't respond right away. She sipped her coffee calmly. After finishing half the cup, she set it down and looked at Kathryn, who met her gaze. They stared at each

other for a full two minutes before Liberty finally spoke, her tone light. "Don't rush. Let's deal with it after the New Year. My aunt hasn't made any decisions yet."

Kathryn also set down her coffee cup. "It still needs to be cleared out, and someone will have to clean it. Even if you don't move in right away, it's better for it to be empty and free of my mother's presence so it doesn't feel too strange to you."

The Farrell family mansion wasn't exactly private property; it was meant for the head of the family and their relatives to live in. But since the family leaders had always been from the same direct line, there was no need to move out when a new head took over.
