In fact, Zack already fell in love with her back when he compromised and gave her pets.
“If it’s something you like, I’ll do my best to satisfy you as long as it’s within the scope of what I can tolerate. Don’t thank me. I don’t like to hear you thank me. If you really want to thank me, give me something practical.”
Serena laughed. “You don’t lack anything, and I wholly belong to you. What else can I give you?”
Zack liked what she had just said very much.
Ring, ring, ring…
Serena’s phone rang.
When she took out her phone to look at the caller ID, she excitedly answered the call.
Zack tried to guess who the person calling was. Why was Serena so eager to answer their call?
Was she also this excited whenever he called her?
Zack tended to be jealous of her loved ones and compared himself to them. He hoped that in the end, she would consider him to be the most significant.
“Nana.”
Serena did not know that the man beside her was being jealous because she answered the phone so quickly.
The call was from Grandma May.
When Zack heard Serena’s greeting over the phone, he raised the white flag of surrender in his heart.
He could not beat his nana.
“Seren, how have you been? Did you miss me while I wasn’t home?”
Grandma May laughed over the phone, obviously in a good mood.
“How could I have not missed you? You ran all the way to Jensburg without a word. I wanted to follow you there to see the fun.”
Grandma May chortled. “There’s no fun to see yet. When there is, the person causing the hustle would go over to find Zack and you even without me calling you. It’s the weekend today, and Zack doesn’t have to work. Don’t you two have any plans?
“A simple road trip would be good too. You’ll be bored if you stay at home all day.”
“We have a banquet to attend tonight, so we didn’t make any other plans today. We’ve already visited all the scenic spots in Wiltspoon. There’s nowhere else on the list to visit.”
Serena was frank.
She had lived in Wiltspoon for many years and went to all the fun places even before she married Zack.
“What banquet? Who’s the host? Are you still going with your aunt?” Grandma May asked with concern.
“It’s the Marshalls’ banquet. It’s being held at Wiltspoon Hotel. I’m going with Zack, so I won’t be with my aunt tonight.”
Grandma May smiled upon hearing that. “Oh, the Marshalls? He had always held his banquets in October. Why did he bring forward this year’s banquet by half a year? Does he plan to hold two banquets this year? Well, go ahead with Zack then. He has never brought a woman to a banquet with him before.
“He doesn’t have any experience. Seren, you have to tolerate him. Remember what I told you. You need to teach your man to become the man you want him to be. A good man can only be trained by your own hands, but don’t spoil him too much. Men can’t be spoiled. A little sweetness is enough to spoil them rotten.”
Standing beside Serena, Zack heard everything that his nana said. He could not help but spit out, “Nana, are you really my grandmother? I’ve never heard you say good things about me.”
“Seren, is that brat with you?”
Grandma May’s voice did not grow softer. Instead, she raised her voice, deliberately letting Zack hear her clearly.
She said, “You little brat, you need to work on your temper and that tense face of yours. It’s as if everyone owes you a million dollars. Only someone like Serena can tolerate you. You have to cherish your blessings and treat her well.”
Zack said, “Will it be enough if I carve out my heart for her?”
Serena chuckled along. “Nana, Zack is very good to me.”
Grandma May said the same thing her sister always nagged her about.
The old woman laughed on the other side of the phone.
Zack asked, “When are you coming back?”
“I’m still lying in the hospital now. I won’t be back soon.”
Zack and Serena both asked with concern at the same time, “What happened?”
Even after chatting for so long, Grandma May did not mention that she was in the hospital. She acted like everything was fine and talked with a smile, so the couple did not expect her to be hospitalized.
“I went out alone and fell when I was startled by Mr. Queen’s car. I just bumped my hip bone a little. Mr. Queen sent me to the hospital and helped me to notify my family. The only family I have in Jensburg is Kevin.”
Zack was speechless. “Nana, can’t you use a different method?”
His nana was not young anymore. If she was not careful enough, she might actually hurt herself from the fall.
Grandma May appeared aggrieved and said, “I really was startled by Mr. Queen’s car.”
There was no way Zack would believe his nana.
Hearing this, Serena understood that Grandma May might have also been acting when she saved the old woman back then. Grandma May wanted to make Serena her savior, then she could make Zack marry Serena as a way of repaying her.
Now, she was using the same trick for Kevin.
The old lady could not care less about reusing the same trick since it was still applicable. She wanted Hayden to feel apologetic to her. That way, it would be easier for her to act.
“Nana, is Mr. Queen handsome?”
“Yes, she’s much more handsome in person.”
Serena asked nosily, “Is Kevin satisfied?”
“Not even he’s as handsome as Hayden. It doesn’t matter if he’s satisfied or not. I like Hayden. She’s as stoic as Zack, but she brings her bodyguards around not to keep other women away, but to prevent people from finding out that she’s a woman disguised as a man.
“People like Hayden who don’t talk much should have a husband like Kevin. Kevin has a mouth on him that can talk to anyone.”
Although Kevin did not like his nana leading him by the nose and was firmly against his nana setting him up with Hayden, his chatty nature came into full play when he met her. For someone who had always been quiet, Hayden chatted with him for a long time.
Serena felt curiosity gnawing at her. She really wanted to clone herself and go over to watch the fun.
“Seren, help me watch Callum and Camryn. They also look like fun. You only have one pair of eyes, so you can’t see everything. Don’t feel bad about it.”
Serena was speechless.
“Someone’s coming, I’ll talk to you later.”
Grandma May heard footsteps from outside and immediately hung up the phone, lay back on the hospital bed, and pretended to be asleep.
Soon, someone knocked on the door and entered.
The sound of steady footfalls reached the old lady’s ears, and she recognized her visitor as none other than Hayden.
She opened her eyes.
“Granny, you’re awake. Did I wake you?”
Hayden was dressed in a suit. Her features were handsome, and her figure was tall and straight. She dressed as a man for many years and had deliberately gotten a fake Adam’s apple, so no one except her closest relatives knew that she was a woman.
The Queen family was also very protective of their children and would not let the outside world get information about them.
Therefore, when Hayden appeared in public in men’s clothes, others thought that Mrs. Queen had two boys and called Hayden “Mr. Queen“.
Hayden entered with a bunch of supplements for the elderly in her hands. She placed them on the bedside table and saw that the old woman was the only one in the ward. She asked soberly,” Granny, where is your grandson?”
“I just woke up, so I don’t know where Kevin went. Maybe he saw me asleep and went out to buy something. Have a seat, Mr. Queen.”
Grandma May was about to sit up.
