Chapter 371
“Look at that sweet smile. Did your husband send you a message p>
Jasmine playfully teased her best friend.
She felt delighted seeing Serenity and Mr. York growing closer and eagerly anticipated their wedding, where she hoped to be a bridesmaid.
“Our guest room doesn’t have a bed or a cabinet yet. He received a bonus and transferred fifteen thousand for me to buy a bed, a closet, bedding, and other essentials p>
“Mrs. Lane, I’ll take you shopping after Sonny’s afternoon nap, which will be after lunch. Since it’s for you, you should pick everything out yourself p>
Mrs. Lane chuckled. “I’m not picky. I’ll be fine with just having a place to stay p>
“That won’t do. You need to live comfortably. Your boss gave us money to buy things for you, so we shouldn’t have to budget for him. Choose quality furniture p>
Serenity believed that if Mrs. Lane did well, it would lead to a long-term employment relationship for them. They planned to live together like a family, so it was important to treat her well. Glancing at the time, Serenity asked Elisa, “Are you staying for lunch p>
Elisa remembered she would no longer be going to Wiltspoon Hotel to wait for Zachary, but she didn’t want to go home either. So, she casually replied, “Sure, I’ll stay for lunch p>
Serenity informed Mrs. Lane to prepare a meal for one more person.
“I’ll go cook now, Ms. Hunt p>
Serenity watched her nephew happily playing with his toys and said, “Go ahead. I’ll look after Sonny p>
As soon as Mrs. Lane entered the kitchen, she quickly took out her phone and sent a message to Zachary.
(Mr. Zachary, Ms. Stone is here. Missus asked her to stay for lunch, and she agreed p>
Zachary transferred the money to Serenity after his meeting and went through several…
important documents. He was about to pack up and leave work early for lunch with his wife when he received a message from Mrs. Lane. Instantly, he felt as if he had been plunged into a basin of ice water, chilling him from head to toe. “Elisa Stone, you truly are like a ghost haunting us p>
She was either bugging him or monopolizing his wife. Tough luck for both of them to have crossed paths with Elisa in this life. Zachary tossed his car keys back on the table and sat down again. Since Elisa was in Serenity’s store, he naturally couldn’t go.
Ring, ring, ring… His phone rang. It was his grandmother.
“Hi, Nana p>
“Zack, Elisa is at Serenity’s shop, so don’t go over for lunch p>
After a brief silence, Zachary asked, “How do you know p>
“I missed my granddaughter-in-law and wanted to visit her, but I saw Elisa’s car parked in front of the store, so I quickly slipped away p>
Old Mrs. York sounded downhearted. With Elisa in the store, she couldn’t even spend time with her granddaughter-in-law.
“It’s all your fault, Zack. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have to sneak around like this. It feels like I’m a thief p>
Zachary was silent for a moment. “Nana, I haven’t even gotten mad at Elisa for hogging my wife, and now you’re blaming me p>
“Oh, did you just say ‘my wife’? Have you two gotten closer? When will I get to hold my great-granddaughter? Tell Serenity that our family needs more daughters; let her be the first to give me a healthy, chubby great-granddaughter like herself. Just make sure she doesn’t turn out like you, or she won’t be cute p>
It would be fine if it was a great-grandson like Zachary. Boys were often more reserved and exuded a dignified aura. However, it wouldn’t be cute for a girl to have an expressionless face.
Old Mrs. York already disdained her eldest grandson’s demeanor.
With a stoic and icy expression, she hoped her great-granddaughter would not inherit his cold demeanor.
