Chapter 419
Back in Serenity’s room, Serenity was unpacking for Grandma May. The old lady even brought along her mug for drinking water.
“Did something happen, Nana? Why did you move out of your place?”
“Sigh. Let’s not go there. My children and grandchildren put me under stress. It’s a thankless job just worrying about them. I’m going to leave them alone and stay with you for a while. At least, they’ll be out of my hair.”
Serenity put away Grandma May’s things before going into the bathroom to draw her a bath.” Nana, I ran the bath for you. You can have a nice hot bath.”
“Okay.” The old lady quickly grabbed a set of pajamas and went into the bathroom. “That’s why I want a daughter or granddaughter. Girls are so thoughtful. See, Zachary didn’t even show me any concern since I arrived at the house. Seren, you always have my best interest at heart.”
Serenity replied with a smile, “Nana, you told me Zachary was attentive and caring when you first fixed us up. Your kids and grandchildren need to live their own lives. You can’t baby them forever. You should be enjoying your retired life and stop worrying so much about them.”
The way she saw it, Grandma May’s sons and daughters–in–law were most dutiful.
“I want to, but I can’t. Did I mention Zack is caring and attentive? Did you feel that from him? Was I right?”
Serenity grinned without saying a word.
Zachary was indeed caring and attentive to the people he cared about.
It was not just Zachary, but everyone else too. People tended to have their loved ones‘ best interests at heart.
Grandma May climbed into Serenity’s bed after taking a bath.
By the time Serenity emerged from the bathroom, Grandma May was deep in slumber.
The only thing was…
The old lady was snoring pretty loudly.
Serenity was speechless.
She could sleep through the storm if she were drunk. Otherwise, Serenity would be tossing and turning all night at the slightest noise.
Letting out a sigh, Serenity accepted her fate and climbed into bed to lie down next to Grandma May.
