In the kitchen, Zachary heard every last word of Grandma May’s conversation with Serenity.
Zachary was accustomed to his nana’s favoritism toward Serenity.
Nana had been hoping for a granddaughter for far too long.
Alas, she welcomed nine grandsons instead.
Nana developed an instant liking for Serenity and saw Serenity as her own granddaughter. However, the old lady changed her mind at the thought that her granddaughter would have to marry somebody one day.
Hence, Nana did everything in her power to make Serenity her granddaughter-in-law, so Serenity would be with the Yorks forever.
Zachary washed the dishes and wiped the stove clean. He then cleaned the wiping cloth and washed his hands before coming out of the kitchen.
Serenity got up to bring out his jacket and tie.
Although she had not gotten the hang of putting a tie on him, Zachary was flattered by her initiative.
Zachary felt it was worth it if washing the dishes could earn him a little sugar from the missus.
Grandma May was pleased with Serenity’s gesture, knowing that it was a reward for Zachary. Zachary would be eating out the palm of her hand.
It was all about the give-and-take between a couple for the relationship to last a lifetime. Should only one party be doing the giving and the other doing the taking, the giving party would be disheartened one day.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the shop. The shop was set up by Jasmine by then, but she paid no heed to the Hunts.
Apart from Old Mr. Hunt who told Mike to get him a chair from the shop to sit on, the rest were either standing or squatting at the shop entrance. They appeared to be impatient from all the waiting.
Only God knew how many cigarettes John smoked.
After he sent an anonymous letter to Mr. York, John was certain he was going to join York Corporation. Alas, he heard nothing back.
