Zachary did not need Liberty’s help. Liberty could not have an idle moment, so she went ahead and helped out in the kitchen.
While holding Serenity’s hand, Grandma May chatted with her.
In the end, Grandma May said, “That psychic is brilliant. As I said, those words aren’t meant to just comfort you. Look, they’re true, aren’t they?”
Serenity grinned and responded, “Yes, yes. The psychic is an expert. He’s skillful.”
“Yeah. If he weren’t capable, I wouldn’t have trusted him.”
Grandma May continued, “In fact, I believe in fate. I think fate determines the course of our lives. We can’t force things.
“The Yorks have never done anything evil, and what’s more, you’re good-hearted. How could God possibly not grant you a child? Having said that, it depends on luck. Just relax and nurture your baby. Don’t get overstressed.
“Continue doing what you can do. I won’t demand you to stay at home and nurture the baby without doing anything else. Most importantly, you should stay in a good mood.
“You must be bored if you do nothing, and this will affect your mood. We aren’t that delicate. Being too delicate isn’t a good thing.”
Grandma May knew her eldest granddaughter-in-law too well.
Serenity certainly could not bring herself to do nothing just because she was pregnant.
Grandma May was still working after giving birth to a few children and during her pregnancies.
When her granddaughters-in-law were pregnant, they still attended all kinds of events with their husbands and had business talks, unless their reactions to pregnancy were particularly strong. It was during the third trimester of their pregnancies that they started to stay home and nurture their babies.
To Grandma May, what mattered most was the pregnant woman's mood.
Therefore, it was up to the pregnant lady to do whatever she wanted. Grandma May would not control Serenity.
Upon listening to Grandma May’s words, Serenity felt relieved.
Even though Zachary would not force Serenity to stay home and nurture the baby, he was worried that his elders would act like Buchams’ elders whereby they forbade Jasmine to make requests.
Serenity was not the kind who would push herself. She would do what she could, and she would not push herself into doing what she could not. The baby in her belly mattered more than anything else.
“Nana.”
