Chapter 698
A silver sedan stopped right outside the villa, and a person stood at the gate.
Through the gate, Serenity looked at the figure and thought it looked familiar. At
closer inspection, she recognized that it was not the delivery person but her mother- in–law who she had met a few times.
“Mom.”
Serenity took a moment to take in the surprise before rushing to open the gate. It was then she realized she did not have a key to unlock the gate. Serenity apologetically said to her mother–in–law who was on the other side of the gate, “I didn’t know I needed a key to open the gate, Mom. Hang on for a second. I’ll get the key from Zachary.”
“Okay,” Tania faintly replied and stopped pressing on the doorbell.
Serenity rushed back into the house, running into the kitchen. She told Zachary,” Your mom is here, Zachary. I tried to open the gate, but I couldn’t without a key. Give me a key. I’ll unlock the gate now.
“Didn’t you say your mother was going to drop by two days later? Why doesn’t she have a key?”
Zachary replied, “The house keys are on the coffee table in the living room. My mom might have forgotten to bring hers.”

By right, Mom should not have a problem with him being in the kitchen.
This was because Dad often cooked for Mom.
“You’re not even sure about that. You should open the gate.”
Serenity went up to pull the apron off Zachary.
“Seren.”
Zachary grabbed her hand and tenderly uttered, “You don’t have to care what my mom thinks of you. We’re the ones in this marriage. We decide how we run the household. I’ll talk to my mom if she says anything to you.”
There was no reason his mother could enjoy his father’s undivided attention and care if Serenity could not.
As the husband, Zachary was glad to make his wife dinner.
It was nobody’s business to change that.
“Now get out there. Don’t keep my mom waiting.”
Zachary lowered his head to kiss her cheek. “Don’t worry. I’m here for you.”
