Zachary was worried at first that his mother would give Serenity an attitude. He quickly whipped up the last dish and hurried out of the kitchen. He was about to head out the door when his mom and wife waltzed in, sharing a talk and laugh.
He stopped as his handsome face wrinkled in smiles.
Zachary knew he had nothing to worry about.
Serenity had the knack of setting the tone that his mother would have nothing to pick at.
“Mom.”
Zachary tenderly called his mom.
“I got a good whiff of the delicious aroma the moment I came in. I guess your cooking hasn’t digressed.”
Tania complimented her son before turning to Serenity. “You gotta keep it up, Serenity. Don’t let him beat you.”
“Mom, you haven’t even tried his cooking yet. Zachary’s food might not taste as good as it smells. He should be the cook every day to refine his skills if he loses to me. He should be put in charge of the family dinner during New Year.”
With her beautiful eyes sparkling, Tania responded with a grin, “You must get him to practice when he has time, so we don’t get food poisoning.”
Zachary listened as his mother and wife shared a pleasant conversation. His mother tried to fool Serenity into taking care of the three meals, and Serenity made a beautiful comeback without stepping on Mom’s toes.
The doorbell rang again.
“It must be the seafood delivery. I’ll go collect it.”
Turning on her heel, Serenity headed for the gate once again.
With Serenity gone, Tania began to circle her son.
“Mom, whatever it is, you can tell me. Seren isn’t here. She can’t hear you.”
Tania extended her arm and tugged on Zachary’s apron before saying, “You look a bit like your dad like this.”
