Ch. 5293: Married at First Sight Chapter 5293
Chapter 5293
Serenity said, âTaking care of one child is the same as taking care of two. How could I not have time? No matter how many children you have, your aunt will help raise them. Iâm just worried youâll think Iâm too old and not capable enough to take good care of them.â
Sonny smiled. âHow could that be? You and Uncle are both great at raising children. Just look at how well youâve raised Baby and Belle.â
Serenity replied, âBaby was mostly influenced by his great-grandmotherâitâs not just my doing.â
Even though the old lady was their great-grandmother, she had only personally raised the first few children. Among the younger generation, Baby and Kevinâs twins, Colson and Colton, were the ones most influenced by her.
Serenity sighed softly. âBabyâs great-grandmother was an incredible woman. Itâs a pity she didnât dedicate herself to education back then.â
Sonny said, half-joking, âIf she were still around, Iâd definitely send my kids to her after theyâre born and let her take care of them.â
Serenity smiled faintly. âYes⌠that would be wonderful.â
But it wasnât realistic.
People who lived past a hundred were rare.
The old lady had already lived a full and enviable life. She reached an advanced age, was surrounded by loving children and grandchildren, and passed away peacefully. She had truly won at life.
Serenity never dared to hope for such longevity herself. She often told Zachary that if she could live to see her children grow up, get married, and have families of their ownâbecoming both a grandmother and a maternal grandmotherâshe would be content to leave this world.
Every time she said that, Zachary would scold her.
He doted on her endlessly and rarely raised his voice, but on this topic, he never held back.
He would insist that he was older, so if anyone were to pass first, it should be him. Heâd also point out that his family had a history of longevityâhis grandfather had lived well into his seventies, and many others had lived even longer.
Serenity would counter that she didnât share the same genes as the York family.
Zachary would always respond the same way: she had married into the family and lived there for decadesâshe was one of them now. Even if her genes were different, the familyâs fortune could influence her fate, and she would naturally live a long life.
He believed they would live at least into their eightiesâand if they were lucky, even reach a hundred like the old matriarch.
Living into oneâs eighties was already considered a long life these days. With modern pressures, many people felt worn down even in middle age.
Serenity suddenly said, âIf Babyâs great-grandmother were still alive, she definitely wouldnât let you all stay single into your thirties.â
Sonny laughed. âAuntie, that would make me the oldest one. Theyâre all still under thirtyâBabyâs only in his twenties.â
Serenity shot back, âI had my child at your age, and heâs still single. Youâre worseâyouâre already in your thirties and still not in a relationship. Tell me what kind of woman you like, and Iâll help you find someone.â
She continued, âEvery time I talk to your mother, she asks me to arrange blind dates for you. Sheâs really worried about your marriage. Sonny, work and money are important, but thereâs no end to making money. You need to relax sometimesâmake time for dating.â
âYour life canât be just work. Youâre always so busyâwhen are you going to settle down? We wonât feel at ease until youâre married.â
Then she added with a sigh, âBut no matter what, donât listen to your dadâs arrangements. I heard your Aunt Chelsea is constantly trying to introduce you to women?â
Chelsea was truly incorrigibleâthick-skinned and relentless.
If she wanted something, she would pursue it by any means, shamelessly if necessary.
