Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 4535

Maddox couldn't talk Romina out of drinking. On top of that, when someone offered him a toast, Romina stepped in and drank on his behalf.

Worried that she might get drunk if this kept up, Maddox tugged at her arm. "Romina, let's head back. Let's go tell Mr. Lacroix we're leaving. It's getting late." "Has River left yet?" Romina suddenly asked.

"I'm not sure. I haven't seen him around in a while," Maddox replied, then added, "Romina, you've been drinking pretty hard tonight. Are you doing this because of River? Whether he's here or not, what difference does it make to us? If he hasn't left, are we supposed to stay just because of him?"

Did Romina care that much about River?

Maddox had sensed there was something unusual between them. Still, he wasn't upset. He and Romina weren't officially dating. They were just giving things another shot. If it turned out they weren't a good fit, they could always just stay friends.

"He's going to go complain to my grandpa," Romina mumbled. "I went out earlier, poured wine on him, and kicked him."
