Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2199

It was Jasmine’s turn.

Ultimately, she and Josh were fated for each other.

Josh found her hilarious and had a deep impression of her lying down. Therefore, he readily agreed to go on a blind date with her when Zachary introduced her to him.

“Serenity’s luckier than me. Her in-laws are truly open-minded people. Mr. York is also a person who keeps his promises. With him and Grandma May on Serenity’s side, she won’t experience any drastic changes in her lifestyle even after getting pregnant.

“Unlike me, she can do whatever she wants. I had to bear my mother-in-law’s displeasure even though I just wanted to manage the bookstore. I wanted to follow Seren and Elisa on a visit to the vegetable farm we bought, but my mother-in-law stopped me because it was too far.”

Actually, the journey was only a little more than an hour by car.

They could even arrive at the destination in an hour if the traffic were smooth.

“Let’s stop complaining. You’re doing fine as you are now. Josh is the only one married in his generation in the family. The baby in your womb is the first of the Bucham family’s next generation. This pregnancy is important to everyone.

“It’s a given that they’ll pay extra attention to you. It’s better to be prioritized than neglected.”

Mrs. Sox gave her daughter some advice. “You’re married and no longer just a child of our family. You can’t do anything freely like you did in the past. Your parents may tolerate you, but you’re a daughter-in-law to your husband’s family after marriage. Therefore, you have to be considerate of your husband and in-laws.”

“That’s why simply being the daughter of my family was the best, but you said I was doing nothing to earn my keep and kept urging me to get married.”

After Jasmine was done washing the dishes, she said, “I was just ranting, Mom. I know I’m fortunate.”

“Having a business was even more unheard of. Your aunt had no choice but to assist her husband and educate her son at home. After giving birth to Shawn, her mother-in-law did not let her form a close relationship with her son, the reason being she was soft-hearted, which would spoil him.

“Rachel’s days only improved after her in-laws had passed away and she had become the decision-maker in the family.”

Jasmine said, “I knew Aunt Rachel had a tough life when she first married into the Lowe family, but I didn’t know it was that harsh.”

She could recall that Aunt Rachel often returned to her family to rant about the hardships she faced in her in-laws’ house.

However, as Jasmine grew older, her aunt would smile whenever she came back for a visit.
