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.

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Please use the English names as it is difficult to read and connect....
I am very greatful of your hard work in translating the novel in English, is there any chance you could use the character’s name in English please, it’s hard to follow the story with Chinese names. Thanks...
Please use correct names and watch the repeating of pages....
Thank you for the story, its going on well, however the changing of names somehow makes it difficult to follow. Even learning the new ones that you have tried to match, it is extremely difficult to follow and enjoy the drama while trying to go back to rechecking who we are talking about. The title is still Married at first sight (Serenity and Zachary) but they no longer exist in the whole picture. You created a dynamic community which I am sure everyone felt they lived and travelled with. We appreciate all the effort and your insight. I am very grateful for this novel is very captivating....
Please continue using Zachary,. Serenity,Duncan, Liberty etc . You jumped 30 updates and changed names where I'm unable to follow the story and losing interest. This is a great disservice to your loyal readers....
Changing names ruins the whole story. Whoever heard of such a thing....
Please use the old names, the new names are too confusing...
