Serenity once again sighed at her fortune. Although the man she married liked to throw tantrums, he was very good to her. He never raised his hand against her, and she did not have to worry about him cheating on her.More importantly, his family was great. Having open-minded and tolerant in-laws like the Yorks was rare among wealthy and influential families.She remembered Grandma May saying that since Serenity saved her life, she would never introduce a bad grandson to Serenity.In fact, all of her grandsons were exceptional.Zachary was just the oldest and thought to be the most exceptional by his elders.“Mrs. Lewis already helped pick a wife candidate for Mr. Lewis. Her name is Ms. Lily Harmon. She’s young and beautiful, but she also seems to be smart and competent. I could tell at a glance that she was an experienced person. The self-confidence and nobility that emanates from her gestures show that she came from a wealthy background. Furthermore, she must be good if she could
“I think Mrs. Lewis showed your sister Ms. Harmon’s picture deliberately to test whether your sister has any ideas about Duncan. In the end, she found out that Liberty has absolutely no interest in her son and was purely focused on her store and making money.”Zachary’s analysis was more thorough than Serenity’s.“If Liberty showed the slightest hint that she was interested in Duncan, Mrs. Lewis would not allow her to continue operating her store.”Serenity agreed with her husband.Mrs. Lewis was testing Liberty, but Liberty did not know anything. However, that was good. At least Liberty would not be influenced.“Babe, do you think I should tell my sister about all this?”“Mrs. Lewis’s hands are tied, which means she’s on the same boat as we are. She only has speculations but no way to prove them. You don’t need to say anything to Liberty. I’ll talk to Duncan and tell him not to go to your sister’s store for breakfast so often in the future.”Zachary grumbled about Duncan in his
“If it’s something you like, I’ll do my best to satisfy you as long as it’s within the scope of what I can tolerate. Don’t thank me. I don’t like to hear you thank me. If you really want to thank me, give me something practical.”Serenity laughed. “You don’t lack anything, and I wholly belong to you. What else can I give you?”Zachary liked what she had just said very much.Ring, ring, ring…Serenity’s phone rang.When she took out her phone to look at the caller ID, she excitedly answered the call.Zachary tried to guess who the person calling was. Why was Serenity so eager to answer their call?Was she also this excited whenever he called her?Zachary tended to be jealous of her loved ones and compared himself to them. He hoped that in the end, she would consider him to be the most significant.“Nana.”Serenity did not know that the man beside her was being jealous because she answered the phone so quickly.The call was from Grandma May.When Zachary heard Serenity’s gree
Serenity chuckled along. “Nana, Zachary is very good to me.”Grandma May said the same thing her sister always nagged her about.The old woman laughed on the other side of the phone.Zachary asked, “When are you coming back?”“I’m still lying in the hospital now. I won’t be back soon.”Zachary and Serenity both asked with concern at the same time, “What happened?”Even after chatting for so long, Grandma May did not mention that she was in the hospital. She acted like everything was fine and talked with a smile, so the couple did not expect her to be hospitalized.“I went out alone and fell when I was startled by Mr. Queen’s car. I just bumped my hip bone a little. Mr. Queen sent me to the hospital and helped me to notify my family. The only family I have in Jensburg is Kevin.”Zachary was speechless. “Nana, can’t you use a different method?”His nana was not young anymore. If she was not careful enough, she might actually hurt herself from the fall.Grandma May appeared aggr
Hayden was dressed in a suit. Her features were handsome, and her figure was tall and straight. She dressed as a man for many years and had deliberately gotten a fake Adam’s apple, so no one except her closest relatives knew that she was a woman.The Queen family was also very protective of their children and would not let the outside world get information about them.Therefore, when Hayden appeared in public in men’s clothes, others thought that Mrs. Queen had two boys and called Hayden “Mr. Queen”.Hayden entered with a bunch of supplements for the elderly in her hands. She placed them on the bedside table and saw that the old woman was the only one in the ward. She asked soberly, “Granny, where is your grandson?”“I just woke up, so I don’t know where Kevin went. Maybe he saw me asleep and went out to buy something. Have a seat, Mr. Queen.”Grandma May was about to sit up.Hayden quickly pressed her down. “You can’t sit up right now. The doctor said you have to lie down for a
Hayden continued, “As far as I know, you’re free to do whatever you want in Wiltspoon. No one will dare say a word against you if you want to go anywhere.”Grandma May was speechless.This trick worked very well with Serenity, but not against Hayden.Hayden would not offer to accompany the old woman.At that moment, Kevin came back.He indeed took advantage of the fact that his nana had not woken up yet to take care of business.It was close to noon now, and he packed lunch from his hotel and sent it over for his nana to eat.From a distance, he saw a few black-clad bodyguards walking around at the entrance of his nana’s ward. He knew that it was Hayden who came to visit.Kevin felt helpless.He knew that his grandmother was looking forward to her grandchildren starting families of their own, but that was no excuse for shoving a tomboy at him.He really did not feel any sparks for Mr. Queen.Seeing Hayden was like looking at a handsome man. Kevin felt that he would be gay if
“Kevin, find a reason to invite her to a meal at one of our hotels.”Kevin paused. “Nana… What excuse am I going to use to invite her? ‘Thank you for scaring my nana until she was hospitalized’?”Grandma May was speechless.Then, she said, “You’re a smart boy, you can think of something. Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. Mr. Queen is a great person and is a perfect match for you. Your mouth never stops chattering, but Mr. Queen doesn’t talk much. You two won’t be bored together.”“Nana, you’re also calling her Mr. Queen. When I look at her, it’s really as if I’m looking at a man. She won’t admit that she’s a woman either. You keep trying to push us together, but I feel like I’m looking for a brother instead of a wife. It feels like I’m gay.”Grandma May laughed. “She’s very convincing at playing the role of a man, but experienced people will be able to tell by hearing her voice. Her deliberate deep voice is different from your natural baritone. Her voice is still
“Just be happy with what you have. Although I worry about your marriage, I’m not like that old friend of mine. I’ll help you find the right girl according to your character so that you’re free to develop feelings for yourself. I’m showing you more than enough respect.“Your parents are also irresponsible. They only know how to nag you a little but never take any action. That’s why a pack of old bones like me had to get her hands dirty.“I know you guys scold me every day for being overbearing.”Kevin immediately defended, “Nana, we’ve never scolded you, much less for being overbearing. Our nana is the smartest. We all love you very much.”Their parents only nagged them about getting married but never took any action. They simply let the old woman do the heavy lifting instead because they knew the boys respected her the most and would not be angry no matter what she did.Even Zachary and his temper gave in to his nana in the end.Besides, Zachary and Serenity were very happy now,
