Grandma May replied, “Some are azaleas, some are magnolias, and some are crepe myrtles. The magnolias will bloom in March, but the crepe myrtle will only bloom in the summer. They were planted to bloom in intervals so that we’ll always see blooming flowers all year round.
“After the New Year, once the plum blossoms have bloomed, you guys should come back and go with me for a flower viewing. We have cherry blossoms too—they’re all grown here on the manor grounds.
“In June, you can enjoy the lotuses. We have that the most.”
Grandma May smiled. “I just love flowers and plants, and having them on my own land. When fresh flowers take turns blooming during their season, they just look so vibrant and lively. It makes people feel much better.”
Because of the old lady’s interest, that was how Wildridge Manor came into existence. The ladies who married into the York family afterward could enjoy it too.
“Nana.”
Callum jogged over to her.
After greeting his nana as well as Serenity and Jasmine, his gaze finally turned to his beloved wife and he said, “It’s cold today. Why didn’t you sleep a little while longer?”
She had come out before he even returned from his morning run.
Camryn replied, “I slept by myself for a little while, but couldn’t sleep any longer, so I thought I might as well get up.
“Now that the sun is up, it doesn’t feel as cold anymore.”
“You call this cold? It used to be really cold, but now, with global warming, it’s not even cold anymore,” Grandma May remarked.
In her memory when she was a child, winter days in Wiltspoon were cold throughout.
She did not know when it started, but the winters had gotten less cold.
Callum smiled. “Nana, Serenity, are you guys going to view the flowers? Have you had breakfast?”
“Not yet,” Serenity answered. “Zachary’s gone to help. Austin alone can’t manage.”
Sensibly, Callum said, “Then I’ll go help them after I get changed. We’ll call you guys back for breakfast once we’re done.
Tania had not turned sixty years old.
If she managed it for another ten years, she would be around seventy. She had taken good care of herself and would probably only look like she was in her fifties at seventy years old.
Grandma May said warmly, “Yes, there’s no rush. You should first give birth to the baby safely. In another few years, you can plan for another child. Once you give me a great-granddaughter, you can safely shoulder Tania’s responsibilities.”
Serenity laughed. “Nana, I dare not guarantee that I’ll be able to give you a great-granddaughter. You should ask Callum and Camryn, plus Kevin and the rest to work hard at it too.”
As long as Grandma May was not fixated on her and Zachary.
There was too much pressure to have a daughter, even though Serenity herself wanted a daughter very much too.
She wanted one as fair and lovely as Clo-Clo.
Her heart melted whenever she saw the little girl. Even she wanted to kidnap Chloe and bring her home, much less Zachary.
