Ch. 4326: Married At First Sight Chapter 4326
Chapter 4326
Zachary laughed. “You won’t even let your husband be sweet to you.”
Serenity said, “I’m fine. I don’t need you to fuss over me. Go talk to Grandma.”
Zachary nodded. “Alright.”
He watched her walk into the bathroom and shut the door, then headed out.
The old lady saw him coming and was about to speak, but Zachary beat her to it.
“Grandma, Serenity won’t let me be nice to her.”
The old lady opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.
Zachary sat beside her and took the big goose pillow from her arms, smiling. “Grandma, why are you hugging this thing?”
She said, “Well, I don’t have any cats to hold anymore, so now I cuddle this pillow.”
Zachary offered, “Grandma, you could stay at my villa. All the pets are there. Serenity likes living here because it’s the first place we lived after getting married. It feels like home to her.”
So, no pets here.
The old lady replied, “If I lived in a villa, I wouldn’t have anyone to chat with. Living in the community, I can go out for walks and gossip with the other old ladies.”
Most of the women who hung out downstairs were helping their kids take care of grandkids or handling house chores. When they gathered, the gossip flowed.
If anything happened in one family, and even one person knew about it—it would spread across the whole community in no time.
The old lady enjoyed listening to the gossip, but never talked about her own children or grandchildren in front of others.
No one could get any dirt about her family from her.
She said, “Serenity might need you at any moment. I wouldn’t feel comfortable living with you two.”
Zachary leaned back on the sofa. “I get it, Grandma. I worry even more than you do. If Serenity moves in her sleep, I get nervous. I’m scared something will happen to her. When it’s time for her to go to the hospital, I’ll be right there with her for the birth.”
He’d already decided—he would be there.
The old lady tilted her head and looked at him, gently reminding him, “Can you handle it? Don’t end up like Josh—he fainted from the shock.”
“Childbirth is excruciating. This is Serenity’s first baby, so it won’t be quick. Her pain will feel like she’s being torn apart. But from a woman’s point of view, I still hope you’ll stay with her. Once you witness the pain she goes through, you’ll love her even more.”
“If she didn’t love you, she wouldn’t carry your baby, suffer through the discomfort and body changes, endure the ten-level pain of childbirth, breastfeed afterward, stay up late to care for the baby—just getting a full night’s sleep becomes a luxury.”
Mothers wake up at the slightest sound their babies make.
If the baby feels unwell, the mom might not sleep at all that night.
The old lady continued, “People like us have it easier because we can afford a nanny or a confinement nurse. Regular folks don’t have that luxury. They have to do everything themselves, and it’s exhausting.”
Zachary said, “Grandma, I know. I love Serenity like I love my own life. She is my life. So of course, I’ll take care of her. No matter how scary it gets, I’ll be right there with her.”
