Filed to story: The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel
When her husband received praises for being handsome, as his wife, it would naturally make her look good as well.
Serenity closed the store and drove off.
As she arrived at a clothing store of a well – known brand, she found a spot to park and sent a message to Zachary while getting out of the car.
Zachary was still discussing business with clients at Wiltspoon Hotel when he received the message from Serenity. His expression did not change, but if one paid attention, one would notice that his lips curled up when he read the message. His mood was obviously much happier.
Serenity: [I’ll give you a new present tonight.]
What present would she prepare for him?
Zachary was looking forward to it.
It was easy to buy clothes for Zachary since she knew his size. She just had to choose clothes that
were black in color.
Soon, Serenity came out of the shop with several bags in her hands.
Just as she was leaving, she unexpectedly saw her mother – in – law, Tania.
Tania was walking and talking with her friend.
Perhaps she felt Serenity’s gaze on her, so she turned to look at Serenity.
Serenity smiled and went forward to greet her mother – in – law.
However, the moment she opened her mouth, Tania already took her friend’s hand and walked away before Serenity could call out to her. Tania did not look at Serenity and acted as if she did not know the latter at all.
Serenity’s words were stuck in her throat.
She stood at where she was while watching her mother – in – law walk away.
When Tania’s friend turned around for a double
take, Serenity quickly pretended to look somewhere else before lifting her feet and walked away.
“Tania, was that girl we saw earlier smiling at us? Do you know her?”
Tania also turned to look at Serenity, who now already had her back to them. “Was she smiling at us? I don’t know her.”
“Oh, maybe it was just my imagination, and it wasn’t us who she was smiling at.”
Tania’s friend did not think much about it.
She turned around again and saw that Serenity had already walked away. She said with a smile, “I must’ve really gotten the wrong idea.
“That girl was quite pretty and bore a good mien. I couldn’t tell which family she’s from, so I thought she was someone you knew.” The friend teased Tania, “All the ladies in Wiltspoon will smile at you when they see you.”
Tania had three sons. The most famous one was her eldest, who was the head of York Corporation. In the York family, he was the most important person
after Old Mrs. York.
All the men in the York family were extraordinary. Excluding the youngest two, one of whom was still in high school while the other had just reached adulthood and was not suitable for marriage, the other seven in their generation were all of marriageable age.
The York family was the richest in Wiltspoon. They were true nobility.
Every woman wanted to marry into the York family and become one of them Mrs. Yorks.
Therefore, Tania and her two sisters – in – law were the most popular noblewomen in high society. All the families with daughters of marriageable age tried their best to please Tania and her two sisters in – laws, hoping to become in – laws with them.
Tania laughed softly. “There’s no point smiling at me. Our family is open – minded, so when it comes to our children’s marriage, we can only offer advice. We won’t make the decision for them. As long as the woman’s character is good, we will agree to whoever they like.”
She did not like her eldest daughter – in – law, Serenity, but she knew Serenity had a good character. Since her eldest son agreed to marry Serenity, as a mother, she would not nag her son even if she did not like Serenity.
She did not complain about her son’s marriage to her mother – in – law either. She did not even
badmouth Serenity, so how would she comment anything about her mother – in – law, who had brought up her eldest son. Old Mrs. York cared deeply for her grandchildren.
Moreover, Tania had lived as Old Mrs. York’s
daughter – in – law for decades, so she believed in the old woman’s judgment.
Tania had not had any more encounters with
Serenity since the previous meal. However, she had been secretly observing Serenity’s actions and conduct.
She ignored Serenity and pretended not to know her because Zachary said he wanted to examine Serenity’s character and see whether she was worthy to spend the rest of his life with. He did not announce he was husband and wife with Serenity.
Secondly, Tania had not fully accepted Serenity as her daughter – in – law, so she pretended not to know the latter.
Serenity was sensible and did not pester Tania, and quickly left instead.
“That’s true. The elders in the York family are all open – minded. That’s exactly the reason those noble ladies want to marry into your family. None of them are short of money, but you elders are open -minded, your family is exceptional, and all the men in your family are giants among men. No matter who they marry in the family, their happiness would be enough to make others envy.”
“It’s a shame I don’t have a daughter. Like you, I only gave birth to sons. I hope I’ll have a granddaughter in the future.”
Tania’s friend also wanted to become in – laws with the York family.
Unfortunately, her womb disappointed her and did not give her a girl.
Otherwise, with Tania’s friendship and if she had a daughter, the girl would definitely be childhood friends with Zachary.
“I look forward to having a granddaughter in the future too. There are only sons in the family. Boys are such a headache. They’re not as considerate as girls.”
Tania did not have a daughter, so she also wanted a granddaughter in the future.
