Serenity and Zachary York



Married At First Sight Chapter 4037

The security guard handed a basket to Evan.

Evan accepted it, poured the bag of chili peppers inside, and walked over to face the camera as instructed by the live broadcast team. With a determined expression, he began, “Last year, I unintentionally hurt Abby's self-esteem. That was my mistake, and I sincerely apologize to her. "Abby doesn't want anything to do with me right now. Miss Adalee told me that if I eat chili peppers live on camera, I'll be allowed to come here every day to wait for Abby. I don't eat spicy food-honestly, I'm terrified of it. But to see Abby and have a chance to ask for her forgiveness, I'm willing to take on Miss Adalee's challenge."

The live broadcast team exchanged speechless glances.

Adalee hadn't prepared a script for Evan, yet he went ahead and explained the entire situation himself. Was that allowed?

Someone discreetly sent Adalee a message for clarification. Her response was simple: Evan could say whatever he wanted. He knew where the boundaries were.

If he crossed the line or made a wrong move, he wouldn't just fail to win Abby back-he'd drive her even further away.

With trembling hands, Evan grabbed a handful of chili peppers and stuffed them into his mouth. The fiery heat hit him instantly, making him want to spit them out. His face turned red as he struggled to chew, but he refused to back down.

It felt like his mouth was on fire.

After several agonizing minutes, Evan mustered the courage to grab a second handful and shove them into his mouth.noveldrama

The live stream of Evan eating chili peppers was broadcast to everyone in the Du Group via their mobile phones. Adalee even shared the live feed in several work chat groups, instructing everyone to take five minutes to watch-but no longer, to avoid disrupting productivity. Beyond the Du Group, the stream reached the entire Du family and the York family, including their relatives all the way in Wiltspoon.

Adalee had gone as far as obtaining Grandma York's contact information, adding the elderly matriarch on WhatsApp, and forwarding the live stream directly to her.

Grandma York, ever the fan of drama, immediately shared the live broadcast in the family group chat. Now, the entire York family could witness the spectacle of the fourth young master's "first checkpoint" on his road to redemption-a public chili-eating challenge orchestrated by the eldest lady of the Du family.

As Grandma York watched Evan's struggle, she turned to Rosella, saying, "He's eating way too slowly. It's been several minutes, and he's only managed two handfuls. Look at him— he's already sweating bullets. When is he going to finish that entire basket of peppers?"

Evan was Callum's younger brother and Rosella's second son. Naturally, Rosella had tuned in to the live stream as well. Nodding, she agreed, "You're right. At this pace, Abby won't be moved at all. If he really wants to show sincerity, he needs to keep eating until his face turns bright red, his tears are streaming, and his lips are swollen. That's the only way Abby might feel sorry for him and step in to stop him."

The only person who could stop Evan from this self-inflicted punishment was Abby herself.

"Rosella," Grandma York said, "go to the comments section and tell him to eat faster and take bigger bites. As long as it's not dangerous, he needs to push through. We need everyone in the comments to cheer him on and send him virtual gifts to encourage him."

"The Du family will step in once he's had enough. But if he keeps dragging this out, they'll think he's not serious about apologizing."

Grandma York added, "Don't mention the part about sincerity-just tell him to eat faster and more. Get everyone on board."

Without missing a beat, Grandma York sent Evan a virtual gift herself.

Rosella chuckled. "Got it, Mom. I'll comment just like you said."
