Married At First Sight

Chapter 771

Chapter 771

Besides the Hunt sisters and Sonny, Mrs. Stone also prepared a gift for Zachary.

Although it was not possible for him to become her son–in–law, her niece’s husband was still her in–law, so she was feeling a little more generous and prepared a gift for Zachary too.

“Mom.”

Elisa came down the stairs, dragging her luggage behind her.

Mrs. Stone hurriedly signaled for the butler to get out.

She stood up, walked towards her daughter, and said with a smile, “Why’d you take so long to pack?”

“I had to make sure I packed everything I needed to bring, you know. Where’s Clive and the rest?”

“They haven’t come down yet.”

Elisa lifted her luggage and descended the final few steps of the stairs. Mrs. Stone took a few stepsforward, wanting to help her bring it down, but Elisa would not let her.

“Mom, what did you ask the butler to do just now?”

“I prepared some gifts for Liberty and her sister and wanted him to help send them over.”

Elisa hummed in acknowledgment, then said, “Liberty didn’t want to come with us, or else we couldhave brought her and Sonny with us. Sigh… I’ll have to go a long while without seeing Sonny again.Once we get back, Sonny will already be three years old.”

“In a few more days, you’ll be twenty–seven years old.”

Mrs. Stone reminded her daughter.

Once the new year arrived, everyone’s age would increase by one. The young would have grown up,while the old would have aged another year.

“Twenty–seven years old is still very young, Mom. Don’t nag me to get married. I haven’t found asuitable man for myself. There’s no rush–I’ll marry when I’m thirty. If a suitable person doesn’t appearbefore then, then I just won’t get married. I’ll accompany you and Dad for the rest of my life.”

Elisa Stone had very high standards. An ordinarily talented and handsome man was not enough forher.

Mrs. Stone said, “Oh, you. Don’t be so picky. As long as he’s gentle and can tolerate everything aboutyou, it’s fine if his family status isn’t quite as high as ours.”

“That won’t do. If we’re not of equal status and my in–laws try to leech off me and treat me like an ATM,what should I do then? Men with that sort of background are terrifying.”

Mrs. Stone could not find the words to say in response.

In Wiltspoon, there were quite a few families of equal status to the Stones, but those families did nothave sons of marriageable age. Most of them had already married or had a large age gap betweenthem and Elisa.novelbin

Elisa was not interested in younger men.

Of course, the Yorks who were not in conflict with the Stones had a few suitable sons, but Elisa Stonehad once been madly in love with Zachary and had even publicly confessed to and pursued him before.The sons of the York family deeply respected their eldest shoppingmode brother and cousin, so theydefinitely would not choose Elisa.

There was no other suitable option in Wiltspoon. If they turned their sights elsewhere, it would be toofar. Elisa was Mrs. Stone’s only daughter and could not bear for her daughter to marry far away fromhome.

“Mom, with our whole family traveling for the holidays, doesn’t that mean we won’t be able to meetSeren’s husband? I really want to meet him though.”

Mrs. Stone smiled and said, “We’re all relatives now. Isn’t it going to turn out the same whenever wemeet him? If you want to meet him that badly, why don’t you stay

home for the holidays while we go traveling? When the time comes, you can ask Seren to bring herhusband to meet you. What do you think?”

Elisa immediately shook her head. “Forget it. There’s no rush anyway. I need the break.”

Traveling and seeing new sights to cheer herself up would make it easy to forget Zachary.

Now, when she thought about Zachary, she was not as frenzied as she was before.

Meanwhile, Serenity texted Zachary the moment she drove into her neighborhood.

When she stopped in front of the building she lived in, Zachary was already waiting downstairs.

Together with Jim.

“Seren.”

Zachary stepped forward and after Serenity’s car came to a complete stop, he chivalrously openedSerenity’s car door for her. He was about to help her out when Serenity slapped his hand away.

“I’m not disabled nor am I old. I don’t need your help to get out of the car.”

Zachary said to her, “You’re unhappy when your husband is trying to be thoughtful?”

Putting his arms around her and instead of just helping her out, he carried her from the car.

Serenity blushed.
