Chapter 182
Chapter 182 Sonny enjoyed snacking on the pastry while playing in the shop.
His favorite toy was in the diaper bag, and he could easily spend the entire day engrossed in it.
Jasmine remarked to her best friend, “Sonny has impressive focus.
Just look at how absorbed he is with the toy.” “That’s only because he’s in a new environment,” her friend responded. “He’ll wreak havoc in the shop once he feels comfortable here p>
Serenity often looked after Sonny for Liberty, giving her firsthand insight into his mischievous nature.
As she took out her tools to begin a rush job on a craft, Serenity said, “I gave the maneki-neko to Ms. Stone since she likes my knickknacks.
I was thinking of making another one for Zachary because we’re husband and wife and share a home p>
“He could have waited,” Serenity continued. “Instead, he got upset when he found out I apologized and admitted my mistake.
I even tried to calm him down and offered to make him an extra craft before he could let it go p>
“I need to get his gift ready today; I don’t want to face his stoic expression when I get home tonight p>
Jasmine scolded Serenity, “Of course, he would be angry! You promised the maneki-neko to him, so it rightfully belongs to him.
You gave it to Ms. Stone without his permission.” “I acknowledged my mistake and apologized,” Serenity replied.
“He seemed unhappy when he came home last night anyway, so I guessed he had a tough day at work p>
The truth was that Zachary felt frustrated because Serenity hadn’t noticed he wore the clothes she gave him to work. Just then, Serenity’s phone rang.
She fished it out of her pocket and saw Grandma May on the caller ID before answering.
“Nana p>
“Are you busy, Seren p>
“Not too much p>
“What’s on your mind, Nana? I’m all ears p>
“You’re my priority, no matter how busy I am.” Serenity often used to meet with Grandma May for chats before her marriage.
Since then, Grandma May had rarely visited her.
The elderly lady probably wanted to avoid being a third wheel while Serenity and Zachary bonded.
This was Zachary’s request.
He agreed to Nana’s demand to marry Serenity, but he set boundaries.
Nana was not to interfere in their life after the wedding.
He wanted to assess Serenity’s character to determine if she was worth spending the rest of his life with.
Grandma May was concerned that her eldest grandson might react negatively if she continued to see Serenity.
As a result, she had been refraining from seeking companionship with her granddaughter-in-law.
“Nothing much, really. Isn’t tomorrow the weekend? Business at your shop tends to be slow on weekends p>
“Are you free during that time? I was thinking of spending the weekend at your place p>
“Can you check with Zachary to see if he’s okay with that?” Grandma May was eager to learn about any progress between the couple.
If so, how far had they come? Callum mentioned that Zachary sometimes appeared jealous.
Grandma May was filled with curiosity.
“Nana, you can come over anytime. You don’t need our permission p>
“It’s your grandson’s home, so it’s basically yours too.” Serenity enjoyed her time with Grandma May.
Besides, the house belonged to Zachary, so Grandma May was always welcome to visit for a break.
She often felt that her small home with Zachary was too quiet.
Serenity felt completely alone in the house when Zachary remained silent and ignored her. She contemplated getting a couple of pet dogs and cats to care for, an idea she intended to discuss with Zachary that evening. “I should still ask Zack. What if he doesn’t want me to be the third wheel and disrupt your time together?” Grandma May understood her grandson well. He wouldn’t appreciate her showing up if she had a hidden agenda once more.
