Gu Lingfei: Married at First Sight 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.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe 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.
Oh, the Browns were aware of that fact.
Hank’s parents and sister must be kicking themselves now.
Zachary had put the word out, and soon, they would lose their jobs.
The Browns were in for a bigger surprise.
“I believe you. I promise I won’t bring it up again.”
Tania did not want to make her son angry.
“You’re looking well. It seems you’re putting on some weight. Serenity must have taken great care of you.”
Zachary replied, “Mom, are you sure I’m putting on weight?”
He quickly lowered his head to check his belly.
It was flat. Nothing was sagging anywhere.
He stepped on the weighing scale when he was in the hospital. Zachary was at the standard weight.
“It’s been a while since I saw you. I feel you gained some pounds. So you didn’t? I guess my eyesight must be failing me.”

Serenity was carrying a bag of shrimp into the house when she heard the last part of her mother-in-law’s remark.
Her mind harked back to when she ran into her mother-in-law while shopping. The way her mother-in-law looked at her then was as if she did not know Serenity.
Later, Serenity brought it up to Zachary, and Zachary said that his mother had bad eyesight.
It turned out that her mother-in-law really had poor vision.
“Here’s the shrimp.”
Zachary walked over and took the bag of live shrimp from Serenity. He opened the bag for a look.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“They’re huge,” Serenity commented.
“Yeah.” Zachary then brought the bag of seafood into the kitchen, leaving Serenity to keep his mother company.
Serenity noticed her mother-in-law sitting on the sofa without a glass of water on the coffee table.
She poured a glass of water for her mother-in-law and turned on the TV before saying, “Have a seat, Mom. I’ll help out in the kitchen.”
Tania nodded her head. “Go on. I’m not an outsider. You don’t have to tend to me.”
Turning on her heel, Serenity entered the kitchen.
At least, Serenity was aware that she should help instead of sitting around and waiting for dinner to be served. Tania’s disapproval toward Serenity was not as strong as before.
Ten minutes later, Tania found herself sitting at the dinner table despite already having her dinner. She could not refuse her son and daughter-in- law’s invitation.
“Mom, try some of Zachary’s cooking.”
With a smile, Serenity served her mother-in-law the dishes and urged her to taste the food.
Tania watched as her son put on disposal gloves to peel the shrimp. Needless to say, the shelled shrimp would not find its way to her plate. Tania did not know how to feel about this.
She would be happy when her husband showered her with attention like that.
