Chapter 372

Chapter 372 Zachary said after a brief pause, “Nana, you really do think in the long run. Tell your sons to put in the effort and give you a granddaughter instead. It might be faster that way.”

Old Mrs. York instantly laughed and scolded him, “If your grandfather was still alive, would you say that it‘ll be quicker for us to try for a daughter instead? Your parents, aunts, and uncles are already old. How can they give birth to more children? They didn‘t manage to get a daughter when they were young, so they can only pin their hopes for a granddaughter now.” “My third uncle and aunt are only in their forties. I think they can still try.”

If his third uncle and aunt were here, they would say, “Zachary, you traitor!”

“Are you busy now?”

“I‘m on the phone with my Nana.”

“Look, that‘s what I mean. You‘re not cute at all. You‘re not busy, right? If you‘re not, I‘ll go to the office to find you. Let‘s go shopping.” Zachary was at a loss for words.

“I‘m working, Nana.”

“The company won‘t close down even without you. I‘m asking you to come shopping with me for your own good. You have to get used to shopping with women. Only then will you have the patience to accompany Serenity. It‘s an opportunity for you to gain experience, but you don‘t know how to appreciate my good intentions.”

The corners of Zachary‘s mouth twitched, and he said in exasperation, “Tell Callum to go with you. I have a lunch appointment at noon.”

“Didn‘t you cancel it?”

He was silent for a moment and said, “My wife is currently being occupied, so I have no choice but to carry on with the lunch appointment.”

“Haha, you rascal! Look at yourself! What did I say?”

Zachary was speechless.

“Fine, I won‘t take up any more of your time. I‘ll ask your third brother to have a stroll with me. Out of all your brothers and cousins, your third cousin brother is the most gifted at talking. I don‘t have to worry about being bored with him around.”

Old Mrs. York hung up the phone when she was done talking. She managed to gain something today.

At the very least, she learned that her eldest grandson was starting to be enlightened.

She sighed and thought, ‘I got so worried about that brat‘s lifelong happiness that my hair‘s turning gray.‘ Zachary stared at his phone for a moment and finally sent a message to Serenity, telling her that he had to eat with a client at noon and could not go over. An instant reply came from Serenity.

Serenity: (OK.) Zachary‘s expression fell.

‘Am I that unwelcomed to go over for lunch with her?

‘She forgot whose wife she is now that she has Elisa to accompany her.’

The petty and jealous man forgot what he had stressed over himself several times.

He said he would never be a green–eyed monster, but he was now feeling exactly that because of Elisa.

In fact, he could have called Clive and told him to bring Elisa back. However, he was afraid if he did so, Elisa would find out that Serenity was his wife.

He leaned back on the black swivel chair and frowned tightly. He finally knew what it was like to shoot himself in the foot.

After moping about for a little while, he put away his gloom and picked up the phone to call Wiltspoon Hotel to arrange the delivery of a few of his wife‘s favorite dishes over to her.

She invited a guest for lunch, so he should add some good food to the spread.

Serenity had no clue that her asking Elisa to eat in the store was the reason Zachary could not come over.

She and Jasmine packed up the items that Elisa bought. The students were alm st out of class, so the shop‘s patrons would not be able to move about freely if the items were piled up there.

Elisa, on the other hand, was playing with Sonny in her arms. “Sonny, Sonny.” Olivia‘s shrill voice was heard suddenly. Serenity‘s expression turned sullen.
