Sonny snacked on the pastry and played in the shop.
His favorite toy was in the diaper bag. He could sit there all day and just play with the toy.
Jasmine told her best friend, “Sonny has a good focus.
Just look at him playing with the toy.” “That’s just because he’s in a new environment.
He’ll tear the roof of the shop down when he’s familiar with the place.
Serenity often looked after Sonny for Liberty, so she had firsthand experience of Sonny’s mischievousness.
Taking out her tools, Serenity began a rush job crafting and said, “I gave the maneki-neko to Ms.Stone since she likes my knick knacks.
So, I was thinking of making another one for Zachary because we’re husband and wife, and we live together.
He could’ve waited.
“Instead, he got angry at me when he found out I apologized and admitted my mistake.
even soothed him and offered to make him an extra craft before he was able to let the whole thing go.
I’m going to try to get his presents ready today I don’t want to face his stone face when I get home tonight.
Jasmine told Serenity off, “Ve course he would be angry w omised the maneki neko to him, soit belonged to him.
gave it to Ms.Stone without his permission.” “It was my fault, and I apologized to him.
He seemed unhappy when he came home last night anyway.
I guessed he had trouble at work.” The truth of the matter was, Zachary was frustrated because Serenity failed to pick up on the fact that he wore the clothesshe gave him to work Ring, ring, ring….
Serenity’s phone rang.
Fishing her phone out of her pocket, Serenity noted Grandma May on the caller ID She took the call.
“Nana.”
“Are you busy, Seren?”
“Not too bad.
What’s the matter, Nana? I’m all ears.
You’re my priority no matter how busy I am.” Serenity had often met up with Grandma May to chat before she got married.
Grandma May barely dropped in on her after the marriage.
The old lady probably did not want to be a third wheel while Serenity and Zachary bonded.
This was Zachary’s request.
He said that he would concede to Nana’s demand to marry Serenity, but that was where he drew the line.
Nana was not to interfere in his life after marriage.
He needed to be a judge of Serenity’s character to see if she was worth spending the rest of his lifewith.
Grandma May was afraid her eldest grandson might be angry and treat Serenity poorly if she continued to meet with Serenity.
Grandma May had been holding herself back from seeking companionship with Serenity.
“Nothing much really.
Isn’t tomorrow the weekend? Business at your shop is slow on the weekends.
Are you off during that time? I was thinking of spending the weekend at your place.
Can you ask Zachary if he’s okay with that?” Grandma May was eager to find out if there was progress between the couple.
If so, to what extent? Callum mentioned that Zachary looked like he was jealous sometimes.
Grandma May was itching with curiosity.
“Nana, you can come anytime you want.
You don’t need our permission.
It’s your grandson’s home, so it’s basically your home too.” Serenity got along with Grandma May.
Plus, the house belonged to Zachary.
Grandma May was more than welcomed to come over for a break.
She felt her little home with Zachary was too quiet.
Sometimes, Serenity felt she was all alone in the house when Zachary did not speak or pay her any attention.
She wondered if she could get a couple of pet dogs and cats to care for.
That was an idea she planned to discuss with Zachary tonight.
“I should still ask Zack.
What if he doesn’t want me to be the third wheel and ruin your alone time together?” Grandma May knew her grandson toowell.
He would not like her turning up in case she got something up her sleeve again.
Serenity said, “Not at all, Nana. I’ll let him know tonight. Are you getting Callum todrive you over tomorrow, or should we pick you up?” ‘Til get Callum to drop me off, probably in the afternoon, Callum sleeps until noon during the weekends.” Her grandsons would have their much-needed break on the weekends.
Not wanting to disrupt their rest early in the morning.
Grandma May often let them sleep in.
She planned to get to Serenity’s place in the afternoon “Alright then.
What do you fancy eating? I’ll cook dinner.” Since Grandma May was coming in the afternoon, her lunch with Shawn could go on asplanned.
Still, Serenity would bring Grandma May along to the luncheon if the latter came in the morning.
It did not matter as Serenity was buying lunch anyway “I enjoy your cooking Your food isthe best.” Having tasted Serenity’s cooking, Grandma May mentioned in private that her eldest grandson was lucky to have a terrific cook in the house The whole family thought Serenity was a great gal, but Zack’s mother, Tania, was not so keen as Serenity was an orphan and up in a rural area.
Grandma May had talked to hi g hter-in-law multiple times about it.
Their family was wealthy enough, so there was no need to strengthen their social status through diplomatic marriage.
All that mattered was the children’s happiness.
Tania did not want to say much in Grandma May’s presence as Grandma May was fond of Serenity.
However, Tania would grumble about her mother-in-law to her husband in private, whining that Grandma May’s golden child might be Zachary, but she made Zachary marry an orpha from therural area.
The woman was only holding Zachary back It would be hard for a country bumpkin like Serenity to fit in with the ladies when Zachary’s brothers and cousinsmarry proper high-borns.
Serenity would not get the respect of her sisters-in-laws.
It was a good thing Tania found out that her son signed an agreement with Serenity.
She felt better knowing that the couple would separate six months later if they had no feelings for each other.
Tania knew a thing or two about the son she gave birth to.
Serenity was not the type that could steal her son’s heart.
Even an heiress like Elisa did not have what it took
It was nothing more than a duty to Zachary as a grandson to repay Serenity for saving his nana’slife.
Tania had not shown her displeasure toward Serenity as a means of giving herself leeway.
In the event her son really fell in love with Serenity, Tania would acknowledge Serenity as her daughter-in-law.
Nevertheless, she would have to guide and teach Serenity, so the latter would not become an embarrassment when attending eventswith Zachary.
“Don’t let me keep you, Seren.
I’m going out with an old friend, and it’s almost time to meet her.
That’s it for now.
Don’t forget to ask Zachary.
I don’t want him to find fault with you.” Knowing how her grandson loved to be on top of things, Grandma reminded Serenity to let Zachary know.
Serenity acknowledged with a smile and waited until Grandma May hung up.
She wondered how Grandma May managed to convince Zachary into marrying her at first sight.
At Wiltspoon General Hospital, Old Mrs.
Hunt had surgery yesterday, and the surgery was a success.
However, she was staying in the ICU ward for a two-day observation before she could be released tothe general ward.
The rates for the ICU ward were costly.
Together with the surgery fee, the bill that the Hunts received daily hurt their wallets badly.
The hospital bills were covered by Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt’s savings for now. Old Mr. Hunt said that hischildren and grandchildren should chip in to pay the bills once old Mrs.
Hunt could be discharged from the hospital.
As for the cost that Old Mr. and Mrs.Hunt had borne, the children and grandchildren were to return the money to them.
It did not feel right for old folks like them to carry on living without any money athand.
The old folks might be money-hungry, but they knew their children and grandchildren would not be so nice if they had nothing left to their name.
It was better to count on a wad of cash than their birth children Since the old couplehad savings of several hundred thousand dollars, the children would only receive about a hundred thousand bucks per family if split evenly.
Still, nobody was going to say no to free cash.
