Chapter 1057
To facilitate better communication, Audrey and Liberty chose to sit together after entering the house.
Audrey examined the paper handed to her by Grandma May, reviewing it alongside Liberty. Ultimately, the aunt and niece selected a date that was neither too far away nor too soon.
“Let’s go with this date—it strikes a balance, allowing us both plenty of time to prepare,” Audrey said to the York elders while pointing to the date they had chosen.
With her sister no longer present, Audrey was prepared to assume responsibility for organizing her niece’s wedding. She was determined to ensure Serenity married into the York family with elegance and dignity, preventing anyone from looking down on her.
Grandma May, Tania, and the others had no objections to the date Audrey selected; after all, Grandma May had meticulously narrowed down the options.
In the end, they sought Zachary and Serenity’s opinions.
Serenity remained silent, but Zachary scrutinized the chosen date and mentally assessed its implications. He realized that the wedding day would coincide with Serenity’s menstruation, which could complicate their wedding night.
Consequently, Zachary voiced his concern. “This date won’t work. We need to pick another one.”
Grandma May, puzzled, asked, “Why not? The nearest date is only ten days away, which might feel rushed. This date is just right, allowing both our families ample time to prepare.”
She continued, “As for the alternative, it will be much later, after fall. If you’re willing to wait that long, we have no objections.”
Zachary was reluctant to schedule the wedding ceremony in the fall, especially since spring had just ended. He replied, “Let’s stick with the first date. It’ll only be the beginning of July in ten days. It won’t be too soon.”
“It’s not too warm either, so it will be suitable for us to hold the wedding,” Grandma May said, expressing her reluctance to change the date. She believed that preparing for a grand wedding in just ten days would be too rushed.
“Zack, can you explain why the date chosen by Liberty and your aunt won’t work? Last year, I had a well-known fortune-teller select some lucky dates for you,” she added.
The fortune-teller Grandma May referred to was the same one who claimed that Zachary and Serenity were destined to be husband and wife forever. At that moment, Grandma May had complete faith in the fortune-teller and regarded him as truly special. After all, a fortune-teller would only put themselves out there if they had some credibility.
Zachary was silent for a moment before responding, “It’s inconvenient for me.”
Everyone else was taken aback by his response. Serenity immediately blushed, grasping the implication of Zachary’s words, and she discreetly pinched the man beside her.
“Ten days is still too rushed. Since you believe the date we selected isn’t suitable, let’s postpone the wedding by a few months and hold it after fall. You’ve caused Serenity some distress, so you mustn’t disappoint her on the big day. A later date will also allow for proper preparation,” Grandma May suggested.
Zachary wasn’t thrilled about the idea, but he no longer opposed it.
“Aren’t you here for a barbecue today? Zack, you young folks should go ahead. Just grill two drumsticks for me. I don’t have any teeth, so I can only eat drumsticks,” Grandma May added cheerfully. Drumsticks are meaty, juicy, and delicious!
Duncan and Josh exchanged glances, relieved that they could finally indulge in their barbecue. As the two families discussed Zachary and Serenity’s wedding, Duncan and the others chose not to interrupt and felt it was best to wait patiently. Meanwhile, they observed how the conversation unfolded.
Their old friend was notably thick-faced. Indeed, a married man often displayed an unusual level of thick-facedness. Josh gently nudged the straightforward yet tactless man beside him and whispered, “Duncan, have you learned it?” Duncan appeared perplexed and replied, “Learned what?”
