Zachary could not even give Serenity one thing because she did not want anything.
Serenity was a stubborn woman!
Yet, Zachary loved her so!
“The etiquette lessons I talked to you and Serenity about…”
“Mom, she asked her aunt for help on this. She’ll be going with her aunt to social events, starting tonight. With Mrs. Stone showing her the ropes, it will be quicker and more efficient than taking a class on etiquette.”
Tania replied, “Alright. I’ll keep out of this. I can bring her along to social events too, if she wants to.”
As Serenity’s mother-in-law, Tania had not spent much time with her. Besides, she believed Zachary was out of Serenity’s league. Tania would only be critical and harsh if she was the one to bring Serenity into the high social circle, and the seemingly cordial relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would deteriorate.
Tania understood why Serenity leaned toward seeking help from Mrs. Stone.
Mrs. Stone was once a tough businesswoman. With Mrs. Stone taking Serenity under her wing, Tania trusted that Serenity would find herself in and around Zachary’s circle.
“I’ll make a note of everybody’s birthdays, so our family has a reason to host a celebration. At least, Serenity can get practice runs at home.”
Zachary uttered with a smile, “You can discuss it with Nana and the other aunts. You ladies can decide on the domestic affairs.”
His mother believed Serenity was not right for him. However, Tania did nothing to hurt Serenity, not even voicing her disapproval out loud.
Compared to mothers who forcefully stepped into their children’s relationships, Zachary believed his mom was rather open-minded.
Tania got some work to do now.
After a call with his mother, Zachary put everything into his work.
