Together with the other ladies, Mrs. Stone stood at the entrance of the Jeffersons’ residence and watched as the familiar Rolls Royce drove away.
“Mrs. Stone, Mr. York is really good to your niece. We’re only halfway into the party, and he’s here to take your niece home.”
Mrs. Stone replied with a smile, “Zachary is good to Seren, so good that us oldies are jealous too.”
One of the ladies next to Mrs. Stone probed, “When are Mr. York and your niece planning for a wedding? It’ll be nice for us to join the celebration.”
Mrs. Stone curled her lips and remarked, “My older niece, my husband, and I went to Wildridge Manor two days ago. We were there to discuss the wedding. We got a date pick in early fall, so it’s a few months till the wedding. Don’t worry. You are all invited. Don’t forget to bring a gift.”
The ladies replied with smiles, “Of course.”
It was an honor to be invited by the York family. No one would pass up on rubbing shoulders with the Yorks.
In fact, many wanted to ask about Serenity’s relationship with Tania. Since Serenity always attended events with Mrs. Stone, was it because the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not get along or something else?
Still, the consequences of Mrs. Walker’s unwanted opinion shut these ladies up from asking any questions despite their curiosity.
It was huge news from Mrs. Stone about the soon-to-be wedding bells. It was certain that Serenity would not be dropped as Mrs. York-she would become the lady of the entire York household. novelbin
These ladies had daughters. They needed to remind their daughters not to let things turn sour with Serenity at any social events even if they could not be best friends; likewise for those with daughters- in-law.
The interaction among the women was to get the latest news for their husbands and to befriend those useful to them.
Serenity could imagine the chatter about her early leave from the event. Nevertheless, there was no point crying over spilled milk. She did not need to care what others thought of her.
Once in the car, she said, “You came at nine. The party was only halfway through.”
Zachary gave her a burning look and replied, “I didn’t look at the time. I just felt you had been away for a long time, so I came to pick you up.”
As if Serenity would believe him.
“Did you have enough to eat?” Zachary suddenly asked.
He knew she was a foodie. Apart from learning to socialize and make friends, Serenity attended social functions to try out all the gourmets in the world.
Zachary was brought back to when they first got married. Serenity attended a party with Jasmine at Wiltspoon Hotel and both of them stuffed their faces in a corner. Serenity did not join the bustle when he made his grand entrance.
However, Serenity returned home to gossip to him about him.
Serenity suspected that he was impotent or swung the other way. Despite his mixed emotions, Zachary could not defend himself.
“I could have more.”
Lowering her head, Serenity took a whiff of the floral scent and asked, “Did you go to Spring Blossoms? Do you think Camryn is really blind or faking it?”
“I didn’t personally go there. I sent someone to buy them for me.”
Zachary was honest with his answer. “Callum should be the one going there. As her future brother-in- law, I should minimize my interaction with her.”
Tilting her head, Serenity looked at him and uttered amusedly, “It’s not like I’ll be jealous.”
“I know. I can’t seem to get you jealous.”
There was sulkiness in Zachary’s tone.
He often got jealous over her whereas he could not spark jealousy in her.
Although the couple had reconciled and made progress in their relationship, Zachary believed Serenity was not madly in love with him. She had always kept a lucid mind.
