Chapter 418
Married at First Sight
Forget the eight younger brothers and cousins after Zachary, Zachary himself was a source of Grandma Mayâs distress.
Grandma Mayâs husband once broke down to her about the grandsonsâ characters. He said Zachary would be the worldâs greatest grandson to Grandma May, but also the one she could not take her mind off. Grandma Mayâs husband even predicted that with Zacharyâs personality, the boy would be single all his life if Grandma May did not meddle in his marriage. Now it appeared her old man was right on the money.
âOld Mrs. York, you canât rush relationships. Marriage is a lifelong milestone. Serenity doesnât want to end up with the wrong man like Liberty. Although divorce is common nowadays, itâs a high price to pay to waste all the years in a relationship for nothing.â
The sound of the door unlocking was heard.
âMr. Zachary and the missus are back.â
The old lady reminded Mrs. Lane, âBe careful how you address me.â
Mrs. Lane nodded her head.
Zachary and Serenity walked into the house to Mrs. Lane watching TV with Grandma May.
âMr. York, Ms. Serenity, youâre back.â
Mrs. Lane got up and said with a smile, âMr. York, your grandmother is here.â
âNana.â
Serenity drew close. âNana, you came here on your own. I was just telling Zachary I didnât see you at the shop.â
âI didnât want to bother you at the shop, so I had Callum drive me here.â
Out of the members of the York family, the old lady was whom Serenity was most familiar with.
The pair were like actual grandmother and granddaughter and could talk for days. Zachary was jealous, to say the least.
He and Serenity had nothing much to talk about when they were together.
Was Nana moving in to take Serenityâs attention from him?
âOh, shoot!â
Struck by a thought, Serenity smacked Zacharyâs lap and uttered, âZachary, we only have three rooms with beds. Where is Nana sleeping tonight?â
She should have bought an extra bed to put in another guest room when she shopped for bedding with Mrs. Lane.
They had got nothing ready now that Nana was here.
Zachary looked at her hand that attacked his thigh before turning his attention to Nana.
N He told Nana to head to Serenityâs shop after lunch, but the old lady went straight to Brynfield instead.
It would be late by the time Zachary and Serenity returned from work. Since the guest room was not ready, Nana would have to sleep with Serenity.
Knowing Nana, Zachary bet Nana would âkickâ Serenity out of her room.
He knew that the number one thing on Nanaâs wish list after moving in was to get him and Serenity to share a bed.
Grandma May remarked, âIâll sleep with you, Seren.â
âOkay. So long as you donât mind.â
The old lady grinned. âSorry you have to put up with me.â
âDonât say that. I donât put up with you. Nana, Iâll take your suitcase into my room.â
Serenity got up and pulled Grandma Mayâs suitcase into her room.â
Rising to her feet to come with, Grandma May even shot her grandson an angry look. Zachary got the hint.
Zachary remained quiet as his facial muscles stiffened.
Grandma May went into the bedroom and stayed there. Zachary sat for a while before getting up to retreat to his bedroom.
Mrs. Lane was the last to leave for bed. She went into her room and locked the door behind her so that the missus would not be able to get into her bed in the middle of the night.
Zachary, on the other hand, locked his bedroom door and took a few steps before stopping. After debating to himself with furrowed brows, Zachary turned around and unlocked the door
