Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

Zachary protested, "Wife, don't pin that on me. I'm not the evil one here. If they're scheming, that's on them. I'm not carrying the blame-it's too much."

"So, how'd the proposal go? Was it a success?" he asked, growing curious. Serenity smiled. "Of course not. But River set a trap for Romina. I don't know exactly what he's planning, but she's not getting away. He's got her right where he wants her. They've been sparring for years—they know each other inside and out. Honestly, I think River has gone easy on her. If he were serious, Romina wouldn't stand a chance."

Zachary laughed. "River's devious-but what do you expect? Look who trained us. Since he's locked her in, you should come home early. I miss you so much." "We agreed to stay for ten days," Serenity reminded him. "It's still early." "Babe, if you count the day you left, we're already halfway through," Zachary said. "It's not early at all."

"I just want to enjoy the drama a little longer. River and Romina's story is so much more fun to watch than Alex's. His wasn't exciting enough."

Zachary's face fell. "Seren, you're a married woman, and I'm your husband." "Okay, okay," she said with a laugh. "We'll stay just for the full ten days-no extensions. The kids are having fun too."

"You guys may be having fun, but the rest of us back here? Chaos. Everyone came back to the villa thinking we'd all get together, only to find out the eldest brother and his wife had gone on vacation. Now all the kids are throwing tantrums, wanting to come to Uncle River's house.
