“What did Serenity do to keep you from going back to Brynfield?”“Nothing.”“Zack, I watched you grow up. In this family, the person who knows you best is me. If nothing happened between you two, you wouldn’t have come back here to stay. What exactly did Serenity do? It’s fine even if you don’t want to tell me. I can find out when I go to her shop later and ask her.”Zachary stopped and looked at his grandmother, feeling a little angry. “Nana, we agreed that you won’t interfere in anything after I get married to Serenity.”“I’m not interfering. I’m just concerned and want to know what happened to you two. You’re proud and egotistical, but you pretend to be poor and marry Serenity. She doesn’t know your true identity at all. Even if you’re wrong, you won’t easily bow your head and apologize. When it has come to this point, you need me to be the mediator to help you ease your frozen relationship.”Old Mrs. York indeed promised Zachary that she would not interfere in the married coup
Old Mrs. York was infuriated at her grandson’s behavior, so much so she did not want to walk anymore. She sat down on a stone bench by the roadside.She spent so much effort talking her grandson into agreeing to get married, but...Zachary was silent for a moment. He then came over and sat beside his nana. He said calmly, “Nana, you know that love can’t be forced. I was raised by you, and you asked me to marry her to repay your kindness, so I listened to you.“You promised me that you won’t interfere with our married life. The day I got my marriage license with Serenity, I told you that I have to examine her character and see if she’s worthy for me to spend the rest of my life with. Otherwise, we’ll end it in half a year.”Old Mrs. York said grumpily, “With your nasty temper, you wouldn’t admit it even if you fell in love with Serenity.”Zachary was speechless.“Forget it, I’m not angry. I was wrong when I forced you to marry Serenity. You’re right. Love can’t be forced. You can
“I’m outside now. I’m going to your store to have breakfast with you. By the way, you don’t need to get takeouts for breakfast, Seren. I bought three portions. I’ll bring them over to eat with you and Jasmine.”“Sure. Wait for me in the store then. I’ll be right there. But Nana, you don’t have to get up so early in the future. You can sleep in. I won’t be hungry.”“I’m old now and a light sleeper. I wake up as soon as the sun rises, so I’m used to it. I’m not worried about you going hungry. I just like eating with you. Food tastes especially good when it’s with you.”Serenity laughed.For the past few months, she often ate with the old lady.Old Mrs. York knew that many old stores in Wiltspoon serve delicious snacks. She would often take Serenity and Jasmine to eat all these famous and most authentic snacks in Wiltspoon.Serenity and Jasmine both felt that Old Mrs. York was definitely a glutton when she was in her youth.Now that she was old, she could not eat a lot. Furthermore
Old Mrs. York looked at her grandson, and her grandson looked at her.Her lips moved several times to say something, but she did not speak. In the end, she burst into laughter.Zachary was exasperated as he watched his nana laugh uncontrollably.Old Mrs. York grinned and patted his shoulder. Zachary had to hold his grandmother for fear that she would fall if she laughed too hard.After a while, she finally stopped laughing and said, “Zack, I was wrong about you. Serenity learned mixed martial arts, and her skill is quite good, so it’s no problem for her to handle a handful of punks.“My suggestion to you next time is when you see her in trouble, regardless if she needs help or not. Just go up and save her. In fact, it’s better if you get hurt while saving her. That way, she’ll feel guilty about it and will treat you exceptionally well.”Zachary’s expression was gloomy, and his thin lips pursed tightly.“You need to know a few tricks if you want to chase after your wife. Of cours
“Yes, sir.”Zachary’s driver and Jim got out of the car.The driver in distress was grateful for the two who got out to help him.After checking the car, Zachary’s driver said, “It’ll take several hours for your car to be repaired. We’re in a rush and can’t help you. I’ll ask some people to help you push the car to the side so you don’t block the incoming traffic. You can call a tow truck later.”The car could be moved to the side with everyone’s combined efforts.As long as the car was moved, it would not block the cars behind.With gratitude, the driver said, “Of course, then I’ll thank you in advance. Um, the young lady I’m working for has urgent business to attend to. Could you give her a ride?”Jim and the driver did not dare to agree without permission, but Jim returned to the Rolls-Royce and respectfully asked their boss. “Mr. Zachary, there’s another person in the car in front. The driver said she’s a young lady who he’s serving, and she has urgent business to attend to.
“Zachary! Zachary...”Elisa chased after Zachary’s car for a few steps and gave up.He refused to let her get into his car. Even if she lay under his wheels, he would not stop and simply send her to the afterlife.Elisa watched as his car, followed by his entourage of bodyguards, drove away.She stomped her feet.She ran here early in the morning to block his way, which she succeeded, and in return, he helped her a little. After all, his bodyguards had helped to push the car to the side of the road and prevented it from blocking other cars that were coming from behind.However, she was still upset that she was unable to ride in his car.Of course, she would not give up just like that.She would not give up before half a year.It had not been long since her public confession.Hang in there!One day, she would be able to sit in his car. She would be the only young woman who could sit in his car.Elisa, who was daydreaming, felt her mood improve.She called her butler and ask
Old Mrs. York peeked at Serenity’s stomach, which was flat and plain.Yes, her proud and awkward grandson said that he had not touched Serenity yet. The husband and wife were still pure. It was still too early for her to have a great-grandchild.Serenity disdained how cold Zachary was and could not bring herself to jump him, let alone sleep naked.As for Zachary...Old Mrs. York was worried.She suddenly had a thought. ‘Could the rumors be true? Does Zachary like men, or does he have some sort of physiological problem?‘He’s been married to Serenity for more than a month, and they live together, but he has never exercised his right as a husband.’Old Mrs. York decided to tell the cook at home to brew a nourishing soup for Zachary at noon and let Serenity send it to him to nourish his body. Maybe it would help in conceiving a great-grandchild for Old Mrs. York too.It would also help to mend the relationship between the couple.They could not keep up this cold war and live sepa
Old Mrs. York was anxious and wanted to slip away, but thought, ‘Wait, I can’t slip away. Elisa is already at the entrance. If I try to leave, I’ll be caught red-handed.‘I need to hide.’Thus, she calmly put down her cutlery and said to Serenity and Jasmine, “I’m full now. I have to go to the washroom.”With that, she got up and walked toward the washroom while saying, “When you get old, every trip to the washroom will take at least half an hour.”Serenity and Jasmine were speechless.“Serenity, are you there?”Elisa appeared just as Old Mrs. York walked away.She rushed in with a mesh bag of sea shrimps in her left hand and a similar bag of sea crabs in her right hand.“Serenity, come take them. They’re too heavy for me!”Elisa was a rich and pampered young lady. She usually had everything handed over to her on a silver platter and never did any labor, so she felt the two big bags of shrimps and crabs were heavy.When Serenity and Jasmine saw this, they rushed forward and t
