Chapter 700
Zachary was worried at first that his mother would give Serenity an attitude. He quickly whipped up the last dish
and hurried out of the kitchen. He was about to head out the door when his mom and wife waltzed in, sharing a talk
and laugh.
He stopped as his handsome face wrinkled in smiles.
Zachary knew he had nothing to worry about.
Serenity had the knack of setting the tone that his mother would have nothing to pick at.
“Mom.”
Zachary tenderly called his mom.
“I got a good whiff of the delicious aroma the moment I came in. I guess your cooking hasn’t digressed.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTania complimented her son before turning to Serenity. “You gotta keep it up, Serenity. Don’t let him beat you.”
“Mom, you haven’t even tried his cooking yet. Zachary’s food might not taste as good as it smells. He should be the
cook every day to refine his skills if he loses to me. He should be put in charge of the family dinner during New
Year.”
With her beautiful eyes sparkling, Tania responded with a grin, “You must get him to practice when he has time, so
we don’t get food poisoning.”
Zachary listened as his mother and wife shared a pleasant conversation. His mother tried to fool Serenity into
taking care of the three meals, and Serenity made a beautiful comeback without stepping on Mom’s toes.
The doorbell rang again.
“It must be the seafood delivery. I’ll go collect it.”
Turning on her heel, Serenity headed for the gate once again.
With Serenity gone, Tania began to circle her son.
“Mom, whatever it is, you can tell me. Seren isn’t here. She can’t hear you.”
Tania extended her arm and tugged on Zachary’s apron before saying, “You look a bit like your dad like this.”
“I’m my dad’s son. Of course, I look like my dad.”
Zachary led his mother to sit down on the sofa.
“How long has it been since the heir of the Yorks and CEO of York Corporation held a pot and pan? You’re going
back to cooking for a woman. Zack, I’m impressed.”
She was not very fond of Serenity as a daughter–in–law, but she knew her son well.
Without an older family member playing the matchmaker, the boy would forever live a single life.
Her son could not stand playing with girls when he was a little kid. Teenage boys would start pursuing girls while her
son got dozens of love letters without even trying. He handed the letters to the teacher without even opening them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe girls, who wrote the love letters, got an educational speech from the teacher.
Over time, many girls could no longer muster the courage to confess their feelings or give him love letters. They
simply admired him from afar.
Zack would not attend any trips with buddies if there were any girls tagging along.
In short, he had a thing against engaging with women.
Grandma May had once suspected Zack was misogynistic.
As Tania had a good understanding of Zachary’s character, however displeased, she did not stop Grandma May
from fixing him and Serenity up.
She wanted to see if Serenity could change her son’s attitude toward young women.
Tania could accept Serenity if there was chemistry between the couple.
She would not have had hard feelings if the couple decided to split. Tania could then set her son up with an heiress
of an equal footing with the Yorks.
Zachary uttered in a gentle voice, “Mom, I’m only walking the same path as my dad. Dad is a role model.”
Tania was speechless.
