Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight Chapter 704
Tania stared intently at her son for a while before breaking the silence. “You call the shots for your own affairs. I can only give you some advice. I’m going back before your dad gets worried. Are you and your wife coming home for New Year?”
“Didn’t Nana tell you? I’ll be back with Seren to the old residence for New Year.”
“The old residence. Oh, you’re referring to that mansion. No wonder your nana has been going there lately.”
It turned out her son wanted to take Serenity back to Whitmore Mansion to celebrate New Year’s holiday. The place had been through the vicissitude of life and reflected the former glory of the Yorks‘ ancestors.
“How long are you planning to keep up with the act?”
“I got it thought out, Mom. I know what I’m doing. I’ll let the whole of Wiltspoon know about my marriage to Seren when the time comes.”
He could get a start on wedding planning.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZachary envisioned a beautiful ending, but only God knew how reality would pan out. Tania replied, “Sure. I’m off then.”
“Be safe on the road. Call me in advance when you’re coming next time. Don’t scare your daughter–in–law.”
Tania answered, “Don’t make me out to be an evil mother–in–law. Serenity has the spunk to answer back. I don’t think I can scare her.”
Zachary fell silent before thanking his mother.
“Why are you thanking me?”
“Thank you for not finding fault with your daughter–in–law.”
Tania could not resist the urge to kick him.
“I want you to have a nice life and be happy. I can put up with her flaws if you like Serenity and she makes you happy. I’d at most take a soft approach to correct her wrongs without nitpicking.”
The love she received from the Yorks over the decades had conditioned her to be more sensible than she was in her younger days. Tania was not mean at heart, to begin with.
If there was something Tania had to point out, she found the couple did not marry into equal social standing. There was a gap there. She hoped Serenity could change for Zachary like brushing up on etiquettes and taking up a skill or two.
“Alright then. I got to go.”
Tania got into the car.
She waved her son goodbye and drove away.
Zachary watched her mother disappear into the distance before making his way back into the house.
His phone rang once again.

Pulling out her phone, Zachary realized it was Clive on the other end.
Clive called him when he was trying to make babies with Serenity for the first time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZachary was tempted to cuss Clive out when he checked his phone for missed calls after the matter.
Out of the times Clive could have called, why did it have to be when he was doing the deed?
If Clive could read Zachary’s mind, he would argue that he could not predict his call came untimely.
“What do you want?”
Zachary tried to be kinder to Clive since Clive was his beloved wife’s cousin.
Nevertheless, there was no way he could be Mr. Nice Guy right away.
“See you at the Grand Hotel at midnight. I’ll meet you at your house if I don’t see you there.”
Zachary furrowed his brows. “Must I go?”
“What? Are you scared to see me?”
Peevish, Zachary callously blurted, “See you there!”
It was frustrating that Clive turned out to be his wife’s cousin!
