Mrs. Stone was at a loss for words.
“Seren, since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll sacrifice myself to accompany you and Mom to pretend with others. At events like that, everyone puts on an act p>
Mrs. Stone was furious with her daughter.
Serenity chuckled and replied, “In my opinion, we need to learn to tolerate many things, especially since you’ve decided to pursue a business p>
“It would be wonderful if Elisa were half as understanding as you p>
Mrs. Stone felt powerless against her daughter. Naturally, with her daughter’s ample resources, she could behave however she pleased without needing to feign compliance.
“Elisa is great. I appreciate how straightforward she is p>
Elisa raised her chin proudly and said to her mother, “Mom, you think Serenity is better than me, but she believes I’m great p>
“Oh you, getting so cocky from just one compliment p>
The three of them chatted happily, and with Sonny’s baby talk interspersed, the house was filled with laughter.
After a while, a maid approached and said politely, “Ma’am, dinner is ready p>
Mrs. Stone turned to Serenity and said, “Mm. Seren, let’s have dinner first. After that, you can go upstairs to try on Elisa’s gowns and see which style suits you. I’ll buy you a few sets of gowns, and you can have your hair styled in the afternoon p>
“Since you’ve chosen to be with Zachary, you shouldn’t rely on him and lose your sense of self; you need to make some changes p>
“Moreover, what you’re learning will be beneficial to your life. I’ll gradually teach you etiquette. You’re clever, and I believe you’ll pick it up quickly p>
Serenity agreed with Mrs. Stone’s plan and offered no objections.
Her aunt had done well, but she could strive to be even more exceptional. That way, she wouldn’t hold Zachary back, at least.
“Let’s have dinner, Sonny,” Mrs. Stone said as she carried her beloved grandson, who resembled her sister in her youth. If she dressed Sonny in a skirt, he would look even more like her sister.
“Mom, is Alice at home p>
“She mentioned she hasn’t been feeling well lately, so she went to the hospital for a check-up. Before Seren arrived, Alice called to let me know she’d be having dinner with her family after the appointment. She’ll return tonight p>
Mrs. Stone would never limit how often her daughter-in-law could visit her own mother. She also had a daughter, and after her daughter married, Mrs. Stone hoped she would visit frequently too.
Some wealthy women impose numerous restrictions on their daughters-in-law.
“Why isn’t Alice feeling well?” Elisa asked with concern, as she had a close relationship with her eldest sister-in-law.
Serenity was equally worried about Alice’s health.
“She hasn’t called me yet, so she probably hasn’t received the report,” Mrs. Stone replied. “It shouldn’t be a major issue. We have check-ups every six months p>
When the topic of health check-ups came up, Serenity remembered what Zachary had told her and wondered if she should also schedule a visit to the hospital.
They sat down at the dining table.
Sonny was capable of feeding himself, which made things easier for the adults.
Just as Mrs. Stone lifted her spoon, a maid entered and politely announced, “Ma’am, Mr. Zachary is here p>
