Chapter 300
“Ms. Stone, Serenity, carry on with your talk. I‘m taking Sonny to the supermarket to get some vegetables.”
There was still a lot of seafood given by Elisa in the fridge. They could enjoy a seafood menu today, but some greens were needed to complement the seafood galore.
Jasmine carried Sonny and took off.
While being carried away, Sonny would turn back and stare back at Elisa. Elisa remarked with a smile, “Serenity, you have an adorable nephew.”
“He‘s a cheeky monkey.” “Kids nowadays can be rascals. I‘m getting your nephew a toy when I drop by next time.”
“It‘s fine, Ms. Stone. Sonny has a lot of toys. My husband bought loads for him.”
Elisa said, “You get yours, and I‘ll get mine. I adore the little man. I want to buy him lots and lots of toys. If he was my nephew, I would buy him the moon assuming that I can.”
Serenity could testify that Elisa would spoil a child rotten.
With Jasmine and Sonny away, Serenity went into the kitchen to prepare the seafood. She asked Elisa, “Ms. Stone, do you want to stay for lunch? It‘s a home–cooked meal though. I won‘t insist that you join us if you‘re fussy with food.”
Serenity was confident in her cooking, but she could not guarantee that Elisa could get used to eating her home–cooked
food.

After much thought, Elisa replied, “Maybe next time. I waited all morning for Mr. York to pass by on the road, but I didn‘t see him. I plan to wait for him at Wiltspoon Hotel later. He goes there for lunch every day.” Serenity responded with a smile, “Alright then. You can do it. You‘re bound to win his heart.”

“I will do my best.”
With Zachary brought into the topic, the girls began to dive deep into the conversation. A car was approaching outside. It was Grandma May‘s ride. Of course, the second–hand vehicle was newly bought to play along with Zachary‘s cover as a man belonging in the middle class.
Nevertheless, Grandma May got out of her car, only to climb back in when she spotted Elisa‘s car parked outside the shop.
She urged the chauffeur, “Quick! Go, go, go!” The feisty girl of the Stone family was there. Grandma May would be walking right into trouble if she went into the shop

Although puzzled by what was going on, the chauffeur stepped on the gas and drove off right away as directed by the Old Mrs.
Coming out of the kitchen, Serenity picked up on the engine noise outside. She did not go out of the shop for a look, thinking it was merely a car passing by.
Grandma May made a clean getaway.
She was kind enough to give her oldest grandson a call. With Zachary picking up the call, Grandma May said, “Zack, the feisty Stone girl is at your wife‘s shop. Play it smart when you go there for lunch later. Don‘t rush in there and blow your cover. Serenity hasn‘t fallen in love with you yet.” Zachary was speechless. “In the afternoon, I… Sure. I will. Thank you for letting me know.”
Before Zachary could snap back about not having lunch at Serenity‘s shop, he suddenly remembered his plans to deliver proof of Hank‘s infidelity and their new furry companions to Serenity
