Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43

Grandma May said with a smile, “Why can’t you? You’re legally married. Zack isn’t stepping up to the plate. It’s up to you to do so and give me a great-grandchild.”

Rosiness crept onto Serenity’s cheeks. “Nana, I’ll be blunt. I just can’t when I stare at your grandson’s straight face.”

Nana, “…”

Like his grandfather, Zachary was a no-nonsense and detached man by nature. It took Grandma May years before wearing Zachary’s grandfather down when she first laid eyes on him.

“Even if I want to, he’ll freeze me to death before I can get close to him. He gives me the chills.”

Nana, “…”

“Don’t worry about Zachary and me, Nana. Things will happen naturally.”

Serenity saw their living arrangements as roommates.

As if that could ever stop Grandma May from worrying. Since Serenity was Grandma May’s choice for a granddaughter-in-law, Grandma May even went so far as to make the union possible against her son’s and daughter-in-law’s wishes. Grandma May would beat

herself up if Serenity was unhappy with the marriage.

“Alright then. I’ll leave you two be, I suppose . Do your thing while I tidy up the place for you.”

Grandma May was not one to sit and do nothing at home as she often managed plants with the gardeners. She used to help out with the fields by the estate but stopped under her children’s relentless advice against it. Grandma May even thought of applying to be a cleaner at the family – owned company, but Zachary shot down the suggestion with one threatening look.. It scared the idea out of Grandma May.

It was not the first time Grandma May came to the shop to chat with Serenity. Serenity knew it was hard for Nana to slow down after laboring all her life. It did not take a lot of effort to clean up anyway, so Serenity let Nana be while she focused on her crafts.
