Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

Chapter 699

Zachary’s loving statement gave Serenity assurance. She uttered with a smile, “I’ll open the gate for your mom now. Don’t come at me if I fight your mom for accusing me of skipping on house chores.”

Serenity was a firm believer that all household tasks should not fall on the married women’s shoulders.

She would argue with her mother–in–law if the latter started criticizing her as Mrs. Brown did to her sister.

Zachary smiled. “Alright. I won’t come at you, but I trust my mom won’t say that to you.”

Even if Mom had a problem with Serenity, she would only mention it to Zachary. Mom would only tell it to Serenity’s face when she felt Serenity had crossed the line.

Serenity went to unlock the gate for her mother–in–law.

Tania was getting impatient from waiting, but she did not show it on her face.

While opening the gate, Serenity apologetically said, “Sorry to keep you waiting, Mom.”

Tania tenderly asked, “Have you and Zachary eaten?”

“Not yet. Zachary’s cooking in the kitchen.”

With the gate opened, Serenity asked as Tania walked into the villa, “Mom, don’t you want to drive your car into the driveway?”

Stopping in her tracks, Tania contemplated before answering, “I just dropped by to see you. I’m leaving in a minute. I’ll just leave the car there.”

Since finding out that her son got the nasty flu during a business trip, Tania had been keeping in touch with her son every two days. She knew that her daughter–in–law took great care of her son and kept him on a tight leash, making him take his daily shots.

Tania had mixed feelings about it.

She was not fond of Serenity as her daughter–in–law. Her son had no choice but to marry Serenity to repay her kindness for saving Grandma May.

Tania thought Zachary would never fall in love with Serenity.

To her surprise, it took less than three months for Zachary to develop feelings.
