Married at First Sight Chapter 419
Chapter 419
Back in Serenity’s room, Serenity was unpacking for Grandma May. The old lady even brought along her mug for drinking water.
“Did something happen, Nana? Why did you move out of your place?”
“Sigh. Let’s not go there. My children and grandchildren put me under stress. It’s a thankless job just worrying about them. I’m going to leave them alone and stay with you for a while. At least, they’ll be out of my hair.”
Serenity put away Grandma May’s things before going into the bathroom to draw her a bath.” Nana, I ran the bath for you. You can have a nice hot bath.”
“Okay.” The old lady quickly grabbed a set of pajamas and went into the bathroom. “That’s why I want a daughter or granddaughter. Girls are so thoughtful. See, Zachary didn’t even show me any concern since I arrived at the house. Seren, you always have my best interest at heart.”
Serenity replied with a smile, “Nana, you told me Zachary was attentive and caring when you first fixed us up. Your kids and grandchildren need to live their own lives. You can’t baby them forever. You should be enjoying your retired life and stop worrying so much about them.”
The way she saw it, Grandma May’s sons and daughters–in–law were most dutiful.
“I want to, but I can’t. Did I mention Zack is caring and attentive? Did you feel that from him? Was I right?”

Although awake at that point, Mrs. Lane played dumb to Serenity’s cries. She even pulled the covers over her head when Serenity knocked on the door and called out to her. Mrs. Lane made it appear she was asleep and heard nothing.
“Mrs. Lane.”
Since Serenity could not get Mrs. Lane up, she tried to turn the doorknob only to realize Mrs. Lane had locked the door. The door could not be unlocked even if she got a spare key.
She could not get into Mrs. Lane’s room, and Grandma May was snoring away in her bedroom.
Serenity fell silent for a moment before helplessly retreating to the sofa. In the end, she lay on the sofa and covered herself with her thick coat while waiting for the sandman to sprinkle dust in her eyes.
Perhaps God was in cahoots with Grandma May because it started to pour.
The night was already cold, to begin with. The rain only brought the freezing temperature into
the house.
Serenity’s thick coat only offered protection up to her torso. With her legs exposed to the freezing cold, she simply could not fall asleep.
Sitting up
from the sofa, Serenity decided to grab a pair of socks in her bedroom to put on before trying dreamland once more.
