Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 5398

Not responding right away, Laurence quietly stared at Noelle.

It was as if he was checking to see whether Noelle was lying.

Noelle stood there, a face of composure. Jane and Lilian did talk about Laurence settling down, so technically, she was not lying.

“What did you say?”

Laurence knew that Noelle had lied through her teeth. Even though she was convincing, he saw through her, especially since she gripped her pants in secret. That was a telltale sign that she was not truthful.

Not calling her out on the lie, Laurence let her spin the story.

He trusted that Jane and Lilian were on his side to push the two of them together.

The hard part was not telling Noelle how he felt. He had no problems doing that.

His concern was Noelle’s attitude. She might not accept his feelings.

Laurence could tell that Noelle felt something for him, but the real hurdle was her fixation on their social standing.

If Noelle could not let go of that obsession, Noelle would only push him away, even when he showed how much he loved her. Heck, their relationship would not be more than physical.

They could only have a future together when she released her inhibitions.

Laurence had no desire to force Noelle’s hand, nor could he bring himself to do so. This was the woman he wanted to cherish above all else for the rest of his days. He did not want to put that kind of pressure on her.

Still, Jane and Lilian might be the bad guys and push Noelle to make a decision.
