Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 701

Tania’s husband had been treating her like a princess since she married him, and it had been going on for over three decades. To her husband, Tania was the most important person in his life.

After a brief silence, Tania said to her son, “What? Are you afraid I’ll criticize your wife for leaving the cooking to you while she does nothing? I mean, you just got back from a business trip, and you just got better from a long cold. She shouldn’t have let you work in the kitchen.

“I’m not saying you can’t dote on your wife, but don’t do it excessively and spoil her. She’ll become egoistic and willful. What if it gives her a reason to do as she pleases and stir trouble for you?”

Zachary’s face fell.

“Fine, fine. I won’t talk ill about Serenity. Look at you. I’m just bringing a few points to your attention. It’s not like I’m saying she’s acting this way now, but you’re already giving me an attitude. Look at your long face.”

Serenity would be thrilled to find out she was living a real Cinderella story. Tania’s concern was her getting out of line because she would be at a higher social standing, leaving her son to clean up the mess behind her.

Alas, the few words of advice upset her son instead. His attractive face turned sour.

“Mom, you haven’t spent much time with Seren, so you don’t know her. Still, you can trust your son’s judgment. You should know that Seren is no bully.”

The sisters carried on a discreet way of life after reuniting with their rich and powerful aunt, Mrs. Stone. Anyone hanging around the higher society would know that Serenity and her sister were Mrs. Stone’s nieces while the people of the outside world still had no idea.
