Cupid's Arrow Hit On Me novel (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 698

A silver sedan stopped right outside the villa, and a person stood at the gate.

Through the gate, Serenity looked at the figure and thought it looked familiar. At closer inspection, she recognized that it was not the delivery person but her mother-in-law who she had met a few times.

“Mom.”

Serenity took a moment to take in the surprise before rushing to open the gate. It was then she realized she did not have a key to unlock the gate. Serenity apologetically said to her mother-in-law who was on the other side of the gate, “I didn’t know I needed a key to open the gate, Mom. Hang on for a second. I’ll get the key from Zachary.”

“Okay,” Tania faintly replied and stopped pressing on the doorbell.

Serenity rushed back into the house, running into the kitchen. She told Zachary, “Your mom is here, Zachary. I tried to open the gate, but I couldn’t without a key. Give me a key. I’ll unlock the gate now.

“Didn’t you say your mother was going to drop by two days later? Why doesn’t she have a key?”

Zachary replied, “The house keys are on the coffee table in the living room. My mom might have forgotten to bring hers.”

“That reminds me. What’s the portion like? I wonder if your mom has had dinner.”

Her mother-in-law’s sudden visit was not something Serenity was going to take lightly.

“My mom must’ve had dinner by now.”

“Oh.” Serenity took quick paces out of the kitchen and picked up the keys from the coffee table on her way out. She rushed to the gate, only to make her way back to the kitchen. Serenity said, “How about you open the gate for your mother while I cook?”

She was concerned her mother-in-law might not look favorably upon her since Zachary was busy in the kitchen while she hung around. Her mother-in-law would not be too pleased that Serenity was not taking good care of Zachary.

Some mothers-in-law could not stand their sons contributing to house chores. They believed the daughters-in-law should be doing all the work. They did not want their flesh and blood to be tired. As mothers-in-law, they expected their daughters-in-law to work while being on top of caring for children and handling house chores.

On the other hand, mothers whose sons-in-law took on the household chores would think their daughters married well.

If the tables were turned and their sons handled household tasks, these women would groan about their lazy daughters-in-law. They would feel bad that their sons married a wife who was not raised well.
