Serenity had no idea how the guests were doing.

Upon her arrival, she met the York elders and family members with Zachary. As the groom and the host, Zachary drank with the guests on behalf of Serenity as well because she was pregnant. When the reception ended, he was worried she would overexert herself and took her to rest in a room.

Serenity was indeed exhausted. She almost fell asleep right upon entering the room.

Zachary held her up and said, “You should sleep after bathing and changing out of these clothes.”

“Don’t I have to entertain the guests later tonight?”

“I’ll be back by nighttime. We don’t have to entertain them all day. We should rest early after a long day.”

Zachary encircled Serenity’s waist and pulled her into his arms. He said, “You must be worn out today.”

She snuggled up to him. “I’m just very tired. I didn’t get enough sleep last night, and Liberty woke me up early in the morning. I’ve been up the whole day by sheer willpower. Now my eyelids feel heavy.”
