First Sight Novel Serenity And Zachary
Married at First Sight Gu Lingfei Chapter 789 – Zachary still had not come out when Serenity finished preparing breakfast.
She entered the room and looked at the man lying on the bed for a long moment before reaching out to put her hand under his nostrils to check if he
was breathing. She then felt his forehead. He was still alive and didn’t have a fever either.
“He didn’t just come back this morning, did he? Why is he sleeping so much?” Serenity mumbled but did not shake Zachary awake.
Instead, she began to pack their clothes. Once he woke up and had breakfast, they could leave.
Ring, ring, ring… Liberty was calling. “Hey, Liberty.” “Have you and Zachary left yet?” “Not yet. He’s still sleeping.
We’ll leave once he wakes up and has his breakfast. What’s up?” Liberty said, “Then wait for me at home.
I’ll go over there right now. I prepared some gifts for you two but I forgot to pass them to you.” “Liberty, there’s no need.
It’s raining outside and the wind is blowing hard. It’s freezing out there and you don’t have a car! Mrs. Lane’s not around either.
If you bring Sonny out with you, Sonny will get frostbite. If you really want to give us something, when Zachary and I call you on New Year’s Day, you can just send us some Apple cash. It’s the thought that counts.”
Wilt spoon’s tradition of gift–giving was all about well–intentions; how much the gift cost did not matter. Normally, gifts would cost about ten to twenty
dollars. Even the closest relative gave gifts in the range of two hundred dollars.
This was not exclusive to Wilt spoon and applied to just about the whole province. The area was famous in the country for giving the cheapest gifts.
Liberty thought about it for a moment before saying, “That’s fine by me too.” “Liberty, are you really not coming with us?”
“No, it’s enough for me to spend the holidays with just Sonny. Now that I don’t have to cook for the whole family and serve them constantly, I’ll take
advantage of this time when my breakfast cafe hasn’t opened yet to bring Sonny for proper sightseeing out and about Wiltspoon.”
All the while she was married to Hank, she had not been out to sightsee. Every day, her life revolved around her husband and son.
Every holiday she would follow her husband back to his old family home and even have to take care of their whole family’s three meals a day.
Especially in the past few winter holidays, when they spent it at Hank’s old family home and his relatives and friends came to visit, the house would be
filled with people but she alone would be bustling in the kitchen. Sometimes,
when Sonny cried and had a tantrum, she even had to cook for everyone while carrying Sonny on her back. Moreover,
after she was done busying about the kitchen,
the others would not wait for her to join them before digging in because she still had to feed Sonny first after finishing up in the kitchen.
Once she was done doing that, there would only be a little bit of food left for her on the table. Thinking back on the slightly more than three years of married life, even Liberty herself did not know how she had managed to endure it.
After getting divorced, Liberty felt that her past self was incredibly foolish. She gave her all because she loved Hank, but all her efforts were wasted.
“That’s fine by me too, but it has been raining lately. The temperature keeps dropping, so when you take Sonny out,
make sure to bundle up a little more. I’ll leave the car for you to use. When we depart later, I’ll send the car keys over to you.”
Liberty did not reject her sister. She continued to advise Serenity on a few more things before hanging up.
“Siren, who were you talking to?” Zachary woke up slowly, happened to see Serenity shove her phone into the pocket of her jacket, and asked.
Serenity turned her head to glance at him. “You’re awake. Where did you sneak off last night?
You probably only came back when the sun rose, didn’t you? You slept so soundly. Usually, you would have long gone to work at this
hour. Anyway, my sister called just now. She said she’d prepared some gifts, forgot to pass them to us, and wanted to send them over.
“It’s raining and it’s cold outside, so I asked her not to come over.” The husband and wife did not lack money, but they simply had some habits
that remained. The husband and wife were not lacking money but simply honoring the customary seasonal gifting.
“I didn’t go anywhere last night. I met Morpheus with you. Maybe it’s because the weather is cold and it’s so warm under the covers.
Plus, it’s the holidays. My whole being is so relaxed I couldn’t resist sleeping in.”
Zachary got off the bed and walked to Serenity, hugging her from behind. “Are the things all packed? I don’t need to bring any clothes with me.
It is my home, after all- there are clothes there I can change into. You should bring a few more sets yourself.”
“Oh, that’s true. I even helped you pack quite a few sets of clothes. It took up too much space.”
Serenity immediately removed his clothes from the suitcase.
