Chapter 42
Grandma May was a recipient of Serenity‘s copper wire handicrafts as well. She displayed the life–like masterpieces in plain sight all over the house. Although
the crafts were not worth much, they were her granddaughter–in–law‘s gift from the heart.
Visiting guests who had seen these craftworks were impressed by Serenity‘s creativity. That was when Grandma May came in with a sales pitch, bringing these people to Serenity‘s online store to up her business sales. “Have some water, Grandma May.”
Jasmine poured Grandma May a glass of water.
“Thank you, Jas. You‘re here too.”
“Sigh. My mom‘s pressuring me to get married, so I came to the shop to enjoy some peace and quiet. She keeps setting me up with guys like I‘m some unsalable product. I‘m supposed to go on a blind date at XX Coffee House tonight, and I‘m begging Seren to come with me.”
With a glint flickering in her eyes, Grandma May uttered with a friendly smile, “I can understand where your mom’s coming from. Marriage doesn‘t seem a likely
choice for my other grandsons. There‘s no talking sense into them. I can’t even get them on a date.
“Seren, why don’t you go with Jasmine tonight?”
Serenity, “...”
It was unbelievable that Nana was persuading her to join Jasmine on her date.
“You and Jas are best friends. You can keep Jas company and see if the man‘s a good fit for her. You‘ve been through it before.”
Jasmine bobbed her head incessantly. Nana was the best sidekick ever.
“Go with me, Seren. Well, you don‘t have to go along if you can convince my mom to never set me up with blind dates.”
Jasmine tried to appeal to Serenity‘s emotions.
