Chapter 323
Tania also turned to look at Serenity, who now already had her back to them. “Was she smiling at us? I don’t know
her.”
“Oh, maybe it was just my imagination, and it wasn’t us who she was smiling at.”
Tania’s friend did not think much about it.
She turned around again and saw that Serenity had already walked away. She said with a smile, “I must’ve really
gotten the wrong idea.
“That girl was quite pretty and bore a good mien. I couldn’t tell which family she’s from, so I thought she was
someone you knew.” The friend teased Tania, “All the ladies in Wiltspoon will smile at you when they see you.“
Tania had three sons. The most famous one was her eldest, who was the head of York Corporation. In the York
family, he was the most important person
after Old Mrs. York.
All the men in the York family were extraordinary. Excluding the youngest two, one of whom was still
in high school while the other had just reached adulthood and was not suitable for marriage, the other seven in
their generation were all of marriageable age.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe York family was the richest in Wiltspoon. They were true nobility.
Every woman wanted to marry into the York family and become one of them Mrs. Yorks.
Therefore, Tania and her two sisters–in–law were the most popular noblewomen in high society. All the families with
daughters of marriageable age tried their best to please Tania and her two sisters in–laws, hoping to become in–
laws with them.
Tania laughed softly. “There’s no point smiling at me. Our family is open–minded, so when it comes to our children’s
marriage, we can only offer advice. We won’t make the decision for them. As
long as the woman’s character is good, we will agree to whoever they like.”
She did not like her eldest daughter–in–law, Serenity, but she knew Serenity had a good character. Since her eldest
son agreed to marry Serenity, as a mother, she would not nag her son even if she did not like Serenity.
She did not complain about her son’s marriage to her mother–in–law either. She did not even
badmouth Serenity, so how would she comment anything about her mother–in–law, who had brought up her eldest
son. Old Mrs. York cared deeply for her grandchildren.
Moreover, Tania had lived as Old Mrs. York’s
daughter–in–law for decades, so she believed in the old woman’s judgment.
Tania had not had any more encounters with Serenity since the previous meal. However, she had been secretly
observing Serenity’s actions and conduct.
She ignored Serenity and pretended not to know her because Zachary said he wanted to examine Serenity’s
character and see whether she was worthy to spend the rest of his life with. He did not announce he was husband
and wife with Serenity.
Secondly, Tania had not fully accepted Serenity as her daughter–in–law, so she pretended not to know the latter.
Serenity was sensible and did not pester Tania, and quickly left instead.
“That’s true. The elders in the York family are all open–minded. That’s exactly the reason those noble ladies want to
marry into your family. None of them are short of money, but you elders are open -minded, your family is
exceptional, and all the men in your family are giants among men. No matter who they marry in the family, their
happiness would be enough to make others envy.”
“It’s a shame I don’t have a daughter. Like you, I only gave birth to sons. I hope I’ll have a granddaughter in the
future.”
Tania’s friend also wanted to become in–laws with the York family.
Unfortunately, her womb disappointed her and did not give her a girl.
Otherwise, with Tania’s friendship and if she had a daughter, the girl would definitely be childhood friends with
Zachary.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I look forward to having a granddaughter in the future too. There are only sons in the family. Boys are such a
headache. They’re not as considerate as girls.”
Tania did not have a daughter, so she also wanted a granddaughter in the future.
The York family would even give a reward to whoever had a daughter. Old Mrs. York said she would award five
hundred million to the couple who gave birth to a girl.
If their womb managed to produce more daughters, they would become incredibly wealthy.
The two chatted about their children as they walked.
After Serenity walked away and looked back at her mother–in–law, she saw that Tania had already left with her
friend. She stopped and was silent for a moment before walking back to her car, which was parked at the corner of
the street.
Since the day the Yorks visited Serenity and Zachary at the newlyweds‘ home, Serenity had sensed that her
mother–in–law did not like her
marriage with Zachary. However, Serenity’s mother -in–law was cultured, so even if she did not like Serenity, she
was still polite and did not make things hard for her daughter–in–law. She had at least maintained a cordial
relationship.
