Chapter 732
Married at First Sight
âIt might be my mom.â
Zachary got up and said, âI called her after you fell asleep last night and asked her to come over to accompany you to buy an evening dress for the companyâs annual dinner.â~
Upon hearing that, Serenityâs eyes snapped open. She sat up on the bed and said, â You go back to sleep. Iâll go get the door.â
As she spoke, she quickly had a change of clothes and combed her hair.
Zachary watched her as she moved swiftly and said, âWhen you go out, go to the kitchen first and put on an apron.â
âWhy?â
âJust do as I say.â
Zachary grinned. âGo on and get the door. Donât keep your mother-in-law waiting.â
Serenity turned to leave. After leaving the room, she followed Zacharyâs instructions and went to the kitchen to get an apron. After putting it on, she jogged over to the door while calling out, âComing.â
The person standing in front of the door was indeed her mother-in-law, Tania.
âMorning, Mom.â
Serenity smiled sweetly and greeted her mother-in-law.
Tania was carrying two bags in both hands. Serenity saw this and quickly reached out to help her mother-in-law carry the items. âWhat are these? Theyâre quite heavy.â
Serenity came to answer the door in an apron, so it was obvious that she was preparing breakfast. The smile on her face was very sweet, and she even took over the bags from Tania. Taniaâs expression softened by a fraction. She walked into the house and said, âI brought you two something to eat. One of the bags is seafood. Zack mentioned you like seafood. I came over early, so I bought you a bag of fresh seafood.
âThis basket is full of eggs. Your nana insisted that I bring it here, saying that theyâre authentic farm eggs and are better than those you usually buy.â
These eggs were actually bought too, but they were purchased from the workers of the York familyâs orchard. With the consent of the head of the York family, those workers caught a lot of chickens to raise in the orchard.
So, technically, it was accurate to say that these eggs were farm eggs.
Grandma May did this to cover up for her eldest grandson so that Serenity would be convinced that he was an ordinary person.
Tania handed the basket of eggs to Serenity. âThe dozen on top is extra large with double yolks.â
Serenity accepted the basket of eggs along with the large bag of seafood and brought them to the kitchen. âDo you have a lot of chickens at home? Tell Nana not to send them to us in the future. Itâs the same if we buy them from the store.
âLeave the eggs laid by the family chickens to Nana since theyâre healthier for her.â
Tania said, âShe insisted that I bring these eggs for you and Zack, so just accept her kind gesture. If you want to thank her, then fulfill her wish earlier.â
Serenity smiled and did not reply.
Grandma Mayâs wish was to have a great-granddaughter soon.
Serenity and Zachary had become a new couple, so they did not deliberately use any protection. They adopted a natural attitude when it came to having children.
A child would come to them if it was meant to be.
Otherwise, they could still live in their little lovebirdsâ nest for a few more years.
Therefore, Serenity did not make any promises to fulfill Grandma Mayâs wish.
âWhereâs Zack?â Tania asked casually when she did not see her son after sitting down on the sofa.
âHe isnât up yet.â
Serenity put the eggs and seafood away, and swiftly went on to prepare breakfast.
âHave you eaten?â
âNot yet. Zack told me to come over early to go with you to pick out your evening dress. I didnât have time for breakfast.â
Her husbandâs face had been incredibly sour when he found out that their son asked her to come over first thing in the morning to bring their daughter-in-law out to pick an evening dress. He said, âItâs our sonâs business that he wanted to conceal his identity to examine his wifeâs character. Why does he have to bother my wife as well?â
Tania did not know whether to laugh or cry.
