Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 5458

“Yeah, that’s one way to go about it. You guys have to be careful.” Lilian reminded him.

“We’ve always been very careful.”

Jane said, “You and Noelle are both quite meticulous. We trust you.”

“Noelle hasn’t given me an answer yet. I’m a little worried. What if she doesn’t accept my feelings? I just knew confessing would scare her. It might even scare her into leaving me.

“There are so many troublesome things around me. Peaceful days definitely aren’t in the cards for me. She has been by my side for so long that I know that deep down inside, she actually craves peace and wants to live a normal life.”

He wanted to live a normal life too, but unfortunately, he had to bear the heavy burden of avenging his family ever since he was young. Even if he wanted to live peacefully, others would not let him do so.

Lilian replied, “You’re overthinking it. Noelle has been by your side for so many years. What doesn’t she know about you? Even if she rejects you, do you think she can just stay out of it?

“There’s no way she could. Where has your confidence gone?”

“I’m just nervous, Master.

“You and Mom helped me address the elephant in the room, so Noelle and I can’t even avoid this now. I’m not the only one who’s nervous, okay. I can tell that Noelle is just as nervous.”

Jane chimed in, “If we didn’t help you out, when were you planning to confess? You’re not young anymore. Noelle is four years younger than you, but she’s already twenty-eight. This is about the age when girls start considering settling down.

“If you keep dragging it out a few more years, Noelle will have gotten older too. You weren’t planning to say it only when you two were old and decrepit, were you?

“I’m still waiting to hug my grandchildren, and I’m sure your biological parents in the afterlife hope for you to settle down sooner rather than later.

“Laurence, you’re the only one left of your family.”

Jane reminded Laurence. He not only had to avenge his family, but also had to get married and have children, so that his family bloodline could be carried on. Only then would his claim to the family headship truly have meaning.

If he did not have any offspring, once he grew old, would the position of family head not have to be handed over to a branch family, all the same?

“You just confessed to Noelle yesterday. Didn’t she say she needed two days to think about it? Why are you so anxious about it? If you were going to be this anxious, why didn’t you do it sooner? And you were planning to keep dragging it out, too. Who do you think it harms more if you dragged it out until you two were old?”

Laurence did not dare to say more.
