Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 1332

Chapter 1332

Mrs. Marshall thought Serenity’s voice was pleasant. She held her hand in a friendly manner and complimented her.

Serenity responded to everyone’s compliments with grace, which disappointed those who wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

Some people thought Mrs. Stone was indeed good at teaching. Serenity had only attended a few banquets with Mrs. Stone, yet she had managed to train a country bumpkin into a graceful missus of a wealthy family.

The York family of four went on to meet Old Mr. Marshall.

After looking at Serenity for some time, Old Mr. Marshall did not say a word. However, he gave her a generous gift in front of everyone. He even told Zachary, “You two must live a happy life. Your nana won’t go wrong.”

Zachary was soft toward Old Mr. Marshall. “Thank you, Old Mr. Marshall. I’ll cherish and love. Seren a lot.”

Old Mr. Marshall smiled kindly. He was much older than Old Mrs. York, and his energy could not compare to hers.

He would only meet youngsters of higher status and prominence like Zachary. Ordinary people would not dare to disturb him.

Guests from wealthy families gradually arrived.

Mrs. Stone and his husband came slightly later with their daughter. Clive and his wife were absent.

Alice was pregnant and had terrible morning sickness. Many people were attending the banquet, so there were worries about someone bumping into her. Therefore, Clive strongly disagreed about his wife coming. He was absent as well to accompany his wife back home.

The second son of the Stone family did not do business, so he never participated in any events of

the business world.

Therefore, only Mr. and Mrs. Stone came with Elisa.

They went to greet Old Mr. Marshall too.

Old Mr. Marshall did not spot Clive and his wife, so he asked Mrs. Stone, “Why aren’t Clive and

Alice here?”

Mrs. Stone smiled and said, “Alice is pregnant, so it’s inconvenient for her to come over. Clive is accompanying her at home. He told me to apologize to you in his stead for his absence tonight.”

Old Mr. Marshall laughed. “They’re all youngsters I’ve watched over as they grew up. How can I be petty about them not coming because of their own matters? Alice being pregnant is good news. It’s better that she doesn’t come. There are too many people here. It’ll be bad if someone bumps

into her.

“You must invite me to the baby’s sip and see shower next year.”

Joy filled the Marshalls‘ eyes upon hearing Old Mr. Marshall’s words. They thought he would be able to live for several years more if he kept thinking about the Stone family’s celebration.

Mrs. Stone smiled. “That’s for sure. You must come to my house and have a glass of celebratory wine to bless my grandson or granddaughter. You’re the person with the greatest fortune.”

Tania had learned from Mrs. Marshall that Old Mr. Marshall had been unwell recently. He kept talking about his late spouse, who had been deceased for many years. His family was worried that his time would be up soon, especially since he moved his banquet up by half a year.

It was worrisome.

Tania joined the conversation after hearing Old Mr. Marshall talking to Mrs. Stone about the sip and see. She used a complaining tone on purpose and said to Old Mr. Marshall, “You’re only thinking about attending the sip and see shower for Clive’s child. Don’t you wish to attend my granddaughter’s celebration too?”
