Chapter 701


    Tania’s husband had been treating her like a princess since she married him, and it had been going on


    for over three decades. To her husband, Tania was the most important person in his life.


    After a brief silence, Tania said to her son, “What? Are you afraid I’ll criticize your wife for leaving the


    cooking to you while she does nothing? I mean, you just got back from a business trip, and you just got


    better from a long cold. She shouldn’t have let you work in the kitchen.


    “I’m not saying you can’t dote on your wife, but don’t do it excessively and spoil her. She’ll be


    egoistic and willful. What if it gives her a reason to do as she pleases and stir trouble for you?”


    Zachary’s face fell.


    “Fine, fine. I won’t talk ill about Serenity. Look at you. I’m just bringing a few points to your attention. It’s


    not like I’m saying she’s acting this way now, but you’re already giving me an attitude. Look at your long


    face.”


    Serenity would be thrilled to find out she was living a real Cindere story. Tania’s concern was her


    getting out of line because she would be at a higher social standing, leaving her son to clean up the


    mess behind her.


    s, the few words of advice upset her son instead. His attractive face turned sour.


    “Mom, you haven’t spent much time with Seren, so you don’t know her. Still, you can trust your son’s


    judgment. You should know that Seren is no bully.”


    The sisters carried on a discreet way of life after reuniting with their rich and powerful aunt, Mrs. Stone.


    Anyone hanging around the higher society would know that Serenity and her sister were Mrs. Stone’s


    nieces while the people of the outside world still had no idea.


    Oh, the Browns were aware of that fact.

    Hank’s parents and sister must be kicking themselves now.


    Zachary had put the word out, and soon, they would lose their jobs.


    The Browns were in for a bigger surprise.


    “I believe you. I promise I won’t bring it up again.”


    Tania did not want to make her son angry.


    “You’re looking well. It seems you’re putting on some weight. Serenity must have taken great care of


    you.”


    Zachary replied, “Mom, are you sure I’m putting on weight?”


    He quickly lowered his head to check his belly.


    It was t. Nothing was sagging anywhere.


    He stepped on the weighing scale when he was in the hospital. Zachary was at the standard weight.


    “It’s been a while since I saw you. I feel you gained some pounds. So you didn’t? I guess my eyesight


    must be failing me.”


    Serenity was carrying a bag of shrimp into the house when she heard thest part of her mother-in-


    law’s remark.


    Her mind harked back to when she ran into her mother-inw while shopping. The way her mother-in-


    law looked at her then was as if she did not know Serenity.


    Later, Serenity brought it up to Zachary, and Zachary said that his mother had bad eyesight.


    It turned out that her mother-inw really had poor vision.


    “Here’s the shrimp.”


    Zachary walked over and took the bag of live shrimp from Serenity. He opened the bag for a look.


    “They’re huge,” Serenitymented.


    “Yeah.” Zachary then brought the bag of seafood into the kitchen, leaving Serenity to keep his mother


    company.


    Serenity noticed her mother-inw sitting on the sofa without a ss of water on the coffee table.


    She poured a ss of water for her mother-inw and turned on the TV before saying, “Have a seat,


    Mom. I’ll help out in the kitchen.”


    Tania nodded her head. “Go on. I’m not an outsider. You don’t have to tend to me.”


    Turning on her heel, Serenity entered the kitchen.


    At least, Serenity was aware that she should help instead of sitting around and waiting for dinner to be


    served. Tania’s disapproval toward Serenity was not as strong as before.


    Ten minutester, Tania found herself sitting at the dinner table despite already having her dinner. She


    could not refuse her son and daughter-inw’s invitation.


    “Mom, try some of Zachary’s cooking.”


    With a smile, Serenity served her mother-inw the dishes and urged her to taste the food.


    Tania watched as her son put on disposal gloves to peel the shrimp. Needless to say, the shelled


    shrimp would not find its way to her te. Tania did not know how to feel about this.


    She would be happy when her husband showered her with attention like that.
