Wildridge Manor was the home built with love by Zachary’s grandfather for his wife. It covered an extremely vast area. The landscape of the manor was artificially created according to Grandma May’s preferences.
Grandma May liked an antique and classic feel, hence Wildridge Manor was built like a garden.
The gate of the manor opened.
It was worth noting that the sons of the Yorks usually lived in their respective villas and would only return to the manor during festivities such as Christmas and New Year’s for a few days to accompany the elders.
Apart from those times, it would be difficult to see them here.
Today, the sons returned and were especially early. A few of them even had breakfast with their parents.
As for their parents, regardless of the plans they made, they turned them down and waited conscientiously for Grandma May to return.
Serenity was going to Wildridge Manor with Zachary for the first time. On the way, when she listened to Grandma May talk about the scenery at the manor, she began to long for it.
“Nana, Zachary and I will live in the manor when we’re older so we won’t be bored during our retirement.”
According to Grandma May, Wildridge Manor was spacious and beautiful. There was also a clear stream at the foot of the hill, so they could fish in their spare time. A few of the nearby hills also belonged to the Yorks. Besides one of them being turned into a park, the others became orchards.
The Yorks’ orchards were naturally taken care of by workers. Seasonal fruits were planted there and were supplied daily to Wiltspoon Hotel to ensure the hotel guests would always get fresh fruits.
“It’ll only be nice to retire in the manor if the husband and wife are still here. As for me, who’s by myself, as beautiful as the place is, I can’t bring myself to appreciate it.”
The man who built the beautiful manor for her and accompanied her through the four seasons—enjoyed flowers in spring, admired lotuses in summer, went hiking in autumn, and shared his warmth with her in winter—was no longer here.
“Seren.”
Grandma May took Serenity’s hand and said, “May you have someone to rely on and take shelter from all your life. Cherish your happy moments with Zack. It’s normal for couples to have conflicts, but learn to communicate with, trust, and understand each other. When you’re old, you’ll find that your partner is the only one who can be by your side.”
