Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 212

As Serenity viewed the night sky, she gradually grew tired. She leaned back on the swing and thought of napping for a few minutes. Little did she know, she slept until five in the morning. It was almost dawn when she woke up.
She had slept outside on the balcony the whole night.
When she woke up, she knew Zachary had not returned last night. Otherwise, he would have woken her up.
Although that man was cold and seemed to have a heart made of stone, he was kind to her. He gave her everything that she should have as his wife.
Serenity got up from the swing and went into the hall to turn on the lights. The two handicrafts were still on the coffee table. She was silent for a moment before she went to Zachary’s room.
The door was locked. She did not have the keys, so she could not open the door.
He most likely did not come home. It was Monday, a new week.
Although Zachary did not return during the night, Serenity did not call him. He was still angry at her, so why should she approach him just to be rebuffed?

Besides, she believed he would not answer the phone even if she called.
Since Zachary was not home, Serenity did not have breakfast at home either. As the sun rose, she took the car keys and went downstairs, intending to eat a casual breakfast before fetching Sonny from Liberty’s place since Liberty would be job hunting today as well.
When Serenity arrived at the parking lot downstairs, she saw Zachary’s national MPV. She stopped and stared at the car. ‘I remember that license plate. It’s Zachary’s car. Did he not drive out?’
After a long while, she took out her phone to send him a message. Serenity: (Are you going to work today? I saw your car was still parked downstairs.)
After sending the message, she lifted her foot and walked toward another car.
Soon, she drove off.
When she arrived at Liberty’s house, she was surprised to see that her brother-in-law, Hank, was back, “Serenity, you’re here.”
Hank took the initiative to greet his sister-in-law. Serenity was stunned, but she greeted him back and asked, “Are Liberty and Sonny awake yet?” “Your sister is preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Sonny isn’t up yet.” Serenity felt that Hank was rather polite to her upon hisreturn. However, she never had anything to say to him, so she went straight into the kitchen.
Hank went outside to the balcony for a smoke.
In fact, he was avoiding his wife and sister-in-law so he could send a message to Jessica.
Hank: [Babe, don’t eat breakfast yet. I’ll go to Wiltspoon Hotel to buy a delicious breakfast for you later. It’s better than the roadside stalls you usually eat at.]
Jessica: [Thanks, honey. In that case, I’ll wait at the office for the delicious and loving breakfast you’re buying for me.]
