Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Chapter 3580

There was no need for an alarm clock-Enzo's daily crying always brought everyone back from their tasks.

During the day, the nanny and old lady cared for Enzo, while Jane and Ben worked. They only had time with him in the mornings and evenings.

But every day, when Enzo woke up and didn't see his mother, he'd cry for a long time until someone calmed him down.

Ben often joked that Enzo was trying to steal Jane from him, which made her laugh and cry. Jane never complained that Ben treated Avah like a princess. If Ben teased that Enzo was stealing Jane, then Avah must be trying to steal Ben, too. When Ben held Avah, he was a doting father, completely focused on her.

"It's not the bed," Serenity replied. "I had a dream and couldn't fall back asleep. So I went for a walk. The air is so fresh in the early morning, especially after last night's rain."

"Let's sit in the pavilion," Jane suggested, reaching out to take Avah back to give Serenity a break.

After sitting in the pavilion, Avah snuggled in Jane's arms and dozed off, holding tightly onto Jane's clothes as if she didn't want to be put back to bed.

Avah felt safe and comfortable in Jane's arms, soothed by the familiar rhythm of her heartbeat.

Serenity said, "I dreamt of my parents and two strangers. The dream made me feel like the strangers were my grandparents. I think my mother might have found my grandmother."

Jane nodded, "That sounds likely. They're mother and daughter-they're bound to reconnect."

But Serenity was more worried about the situation in Jensburg. She had been thinking too much, which led to her dream.

Serenity's parents died in a car accident when she was ten. If it weren't for some old photos, her memories of them would be even fainter.

"Seren, don't worry too much," Jane reassured her. "I'm sure everything will work out, just like it did with my mother's family. Things were tense for a while, but it all ended well. We have to trust our families. If they don't want us involved, it means they're confident they can handle everything."

Avah fell asleep in Jane's arms. Jane adjusted her hold to make Avah more comfortable, tucking in her clothes to keep her warm.

Serenity watched Jane's gentle care and instinctively placed a hand on her slightly swollen belly. Her baby was still asleep, quiet inside her.

After breakfast, the baby would be more active, and she'd feel the little movements. The baby moved the most between 7 and 9 pm. When she or Zachary interacted with the baby, it would play happily for a while before settling down around 10 pm. After figuring out this routine, the couple only interacted with the baby between 7 and 8 pm, so it could calm down afterward.

"I know I have to trust them," Serenity said. "But it's hard not to worry at all. I know if I go there, I won't be much help and would only distract them. That would just get in their way. Since they've kept it from me, I'm pretending not to know. But how can I not worry? All the people in Jensburg are my closest family and friends."
