She went into the store with Serenity.
“Grandma May, you’re here.”
When Jasmine came out and saw the old lady carrying three insulated lunch boxes, she quickly came forward to take the lunch boxes.
“I brought you breakfast. Come, let’s eat together. I love eating with you two girls. The food tastes especially good.”
When Old Mrs. York entered the store, she treated it like her own home and nonchalantly went to wash her hands and get the cutlery.
Jasmine opened the lunch boxes. When she saw the breakfast inside, she asked Old Mrs. York, who was emerging from the small kitchen, “Grandma May, did you buy this from a fivestar restaurant?”
The food was exquisite and smelled heavenly. Jasmine would not believe it if old Mrs. York said that it was not from a fivestar restaurant
Her family hired a cook too, but the cook’s skills were nowhere as good.
Old Mrs. York could not say that it was made by the chef in Zachary’s house. Since Jasmine asked, she played along and lied, “I took the lunch boxes to Wiltspoon Hotel and told them to pack the food in them so it stays warm.”
Serenity washed her nephew’s hands and said, “Nana, you shouldn’t have. Jasmine and I aren’t fussy eaters. Even if you bought plain oatmeal, we would still eat it with pleasure.” “My pension for this month just came in, so I wanted to treat you to a nice meal.”
“Nana, your pension should be used for your retirement.”
Old Mrs. York laughed. “I have a lot of children and grandchildren who will support me in my old age. I don’t lack money. I’m just worried I won’t know how to spend all the money I have. All of them give me an allowance every month. Don’t worry. I just bought three servings of breakfast. They didn’t cost much.”
Old Mrs. York indeed had a lot of personal assets, and her only worry was indeed about how she was going to spend the money.
Serenity did not say more.
The three adults and one child sat around the checkout counter and ate the delicious breakfast that Old Mrs. York brought.
“Serenity, Serenity!” Elisa’s voice resounded before her arrival. Old Mrs. York, who was eating happily, froze when she heard Elisa’s voice. ‘Elisa knows my real identity. I can’t let her see me!
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 took the two bags of seafood from her hand.
“Ms. Stone, what are these?” Elisa shook her arms a few times and said, “Gosh, they were so heavy that my arms are sore. “Didn’t I tell you that I’d bring you some seafood when I come back from vacation? These are really fresh seafood that we fished out when we went out to sea. I had someone pack it up and picked the largest ones to raise so I could bring them to you when I came back.”
Serenity looked at the two large bags of shrimps and crabs and laughed. “Ms. Stone, these are too much for us.” “It’s not much. You can keep them and eat them sparingly, or you can process them and keep them frozen in the fridge, then eat them when you feel like it.
“There’s more in my car. You guys can go get it since I don’t have any strength left. Where’s this boy from? He’s so cute.”
Elisa reached out and touched Sonny’s little face.
“He’s my sister’s. She’s busy, so she sent him over for me to look after.”
“He’s adorable. He looks a little familiar too. Have I seen your sister before? Oh, I’ve seen photos of you two when you were little.”
Serenity smiled. “Yeah, Sonny takes after my sister. Photos of my sister and I when we were young were uploaded online and made the trending search, so it’s normal for you to find him familiar.”
Elisa hummed and did not think much about it.
After hearing that there was still a lot of seafood in Elisa’s car, Serenity and Jasmine went out to take a look. Lo and behold, they saw the limousine was truly stuffed with seafood. Some were fresh, some were sun-dried like cuttlefish and so on, and some could be kept in the freezer to be eaten slowly over time. “You really shouldn’t have, Ms. Stone.” Serenity thought that it was too much.
Elisa said nonchalantly, “It’s nothing much. It wasn’t that expensive anyway. I’m happy as long as you don’t mind it. We’re linked by fate, and I think of you as a friend, so you don’t need to be so distant. Hurry up and move them in. You have a fridge in your store, right? If you don’t, I’ll call someone to send you two refrigerators right now.” “I have a fridge.”
It was not large but how could Serenity let Elisa send her two more refrigerators?
She put the fresh seafood in the kitchen and prepared to have a seafood feast for brunch.
She placed the dried ones in the fridge first.
Elisa saw the dishes sitting on the table that had not been cleaned up, as well as the untouched breakfast. She asked, “. Are you guys having breakfast now?”
“We just finished.”
Jasmine quickly cleaned up the dishes, and Elisa asked out of curiosity, “There are four sets of cutlery. Is there someone else?”
Jasmine said while cleaning up, “Serenity’s grandmother-inlaw came over. She’s in the washroom now.”
