Chapter 229
Old Mrs. York was infuriated at her grandson’s behavior, so much so she did not want to walk anymore.
She sat down on a stone bench by the roadside.
She spent so much effort talking her grandson into agreeing to get married, but….
Zachary was silent for a moment. He then came over and sat beside his nana. He said calmly, “Nana,
you know that love can’t be forced. I was raised by you, and you asked me to marry her to repay your
kindness, so I listened to you.
“You promised me that you won’t interfere with our married life. The day I got my marriage license with
Serenity, I told you that I have to examine her character and see if she’s worthy for me to spend the rest
of my life with. Otherwise, we’ll end it in half a year.”
Old Mrs. York said grumpily, “With your nasty temper, you wouldn’t admit it even if you fell in love with
Serenity.”
Zachary was speechless.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Forget it, I’m not angry. I was wrong when I forced you to marry Serenity. You’re right. Love can’t be
forced. You can do whatever you want. As you said, you two married secretly, so not many people know
that you’re husband and wife. Even if you divorce, the damage to Serenity can be minimized.”
She sighed. “I just hope that you won’t regret it. Don’t come to me and beg me to help you in the future.”
Zachary pursed his lips tightly without saying a word. “Call the driver over for me. I’m leaving now. When
I see you, it feels like I’m seeing your grandfather. Before he passed, he was worried about your
marriage and feared that you would be a bachelor your whole life.”
Zachary thought, ‘I was still very young when Grandpa passed, alright? There was no need to worry
about marriage at that age.
Of course, he was not old now either. He was only thirty.
“Have breakfast before you go, Nana.”
Regardless, Zachary was still filial to his nana. He was brought up by his grandparents. After his
grandfather passed, his nana suddenly became lonely. He spent a long time accompanying her before
she overcame the pain of losing the love of her life. When she finally returned to her old yet youthful
state, he was relieved and proceeded to take care of the company.
“I lost my appetite just by looking at your face. I’ll eat at Serenity’s shop. I’ll only regain my appetite when
I see my granddaughter-in-law’s face.”
Zachary was not angry at being snubbed by his nana. He knew she adored Serenity, and not just
because the latter saved her life. Serenity’s character was very much to Nana’s liking. “I’ll tell Sam to
pack breakfast for you to bring over and eat with Serenity.”
Old Mrs. York thought about it and agreed. She instructed her grandson, “Tell Sam to pack more.
Serenity has a good appetite. That Jasmine girl is there too. With those two around, I think I can clear out
an entire buffet.” Zachary thought of Serenity’s potential as a glutton and a smile appeared in his eyes.
He had to admit that he liked eating with her too. Every time he saw her eating with gusto, he felt his
appetite improve, and he would eat an extra serving. “Sure.” Zachary took out his phone and called Sam.
He instructed him to pack three servings of breakfast and have Old Mrs. York’s driver brings them over
as Nana would be going to Wiltspoon School.
Sam understood.

even after instructing Sam to pack breakfast.
“No. If I go with you, Serenity would have finished eating by the time I reach her store.”
She then immediately took out her phone and said, “I’ll tell her so she doesn’t buy breakfast herself.”
Zachary watched silently as his grandmother called Serenity.
He also wanted to know what time she went home after giving her statement at the police station.
“Nana.”
Serenity was awakened by the phone call, so her voice sounded a little groggy when she greeted Nana.
The old woman could instantly tell that Serenity was still sleeping, and she laughed. “You’re not up yet? I
thought you would’ve already woken up by now.”
In the past, Serenity would have gone to the market to buy food and returned by this time. “I went to bed
