Chapter 234
Old Mrs. York peeked at Serenity’s stomach, which was flat and plain.
Yes, her proud and awkward grandson said that he had not touched Serenity yet. The husband and wife were still pure. It was still too early for her to have a great-grandchild. Serenity disdained how cold Zachary was and could not bring herself to jump him, let alone sleep naked. As for Zachary… Old Mrs. York was worried.
She suddenly had a thought. ‘Could the rumors be true? Does Zachary like men, or does he have some sort of physiological problem?
‘He’s been married to Serenity for more than a month, and they live together, but he has never exercised his right as a husband.’
Old Mrs. York decided to tell the cook at home to brew a nourishing soup for Zachary at noon and let Serenity send it to him to nourish his body. Maybe it would help in conceiving a great-grandchild for Old Mrs. York too. It would also help to mend the relationship between the couple. They could not keep up this cold war and live separately forever.
“Sonny, greet Great-grandma.”
Serenity had a sudden pride for her nephew who was well raised.
“Hello, Great-grandma.” Old Mrs. York was Zachary’s grandmother, and Serenity was from the same generation as Zachary, so Sonny had to address her as great-grandma.
Old Mrs. York smiled and praised Sonny for his manners.
She went into the store with Serenity.
“Grandma May, you’re here.”
When Jasmine came out and saw the old lady carrying three insulated lunch boxes, she quickly came forward to take the lunch boxes.
“I brought you breakfast. Come, let’s eat together. I love eating with you two girls. The food tastes especially good.”
When Old Mrs. York entered the store, she treated it like her own home and nonchalantly went to wash her hands and get the cutlery.
Jasmine opened the lunch boxes. When she saw the breakfast inside, she asked Old Mrs. York, who was emerging from the small kitchen, “Grandma May, did you buy this from a fivestar restaurant?”
The food was exquisite and smelled heavenly. Jasmine would not believe it if old Mrs. York said that it was not from a fivestar restaurant
Her family hired a cook too, but the cook’s skills were nowhere as good.
asked, she played along and lied, “I took the lunch boxes to Wiltspoon Hotel and told
Serenity washed her nephew’s hands and said, “Nana, you shouldn’t have. Jasmine and I aren’t fussy eaters. Even if you bought plain oatmeal, we would still eat it with pleasure.” “My pension for this month just came in, so I wanted to treat you to a nice meal.”
“Nana, your pension should be used for your retirement.”
Old Mrs. York laughed. “I have a lot of children and grandchildren who will support me in my old age. I don’t lack money. I’m just worried I won’t know how to spend all the money I have. All of them give me an allowance every month. Don’t worry. I just bought three servings of breakfast. They didn’t cost much.”
Old Mrs. York indeed had a lot of personal assets, and her only worry was indeed about how she was going to spend the money.
Serenity did not say more.
The three adults and one child sat around the checkout counter and ate the delicious breakfast that Old Mrs. York brought.
“Serenity, Serenity!” Elisa’s voice resounded before her arrival. Old Mrs. York, who was eating happily, froze when she heard Elisa’s voice. ‘Elisa knows my real identity. I can’t let her see me!
