Tania had reservations about her daughter-in-law, Serenity, yet she recognized Serenity’s good character. Since her eldest son chose to marry Serenity, Tania felt it was her duty as a mother not to criticize her son, even if she was not entirely fond of Serenity. She also refrained from complaining about the marriage to her mother-in-law, understanding that it would be inappropriate to speak ill of Serenity, especially considering Old Mrs. York had raised her eldest son and cared deeply for her grandchildren.
Having been a part of the York family for decades, Tania trusted Old Mrs. York’s judgment. Although Tania had not interacted much with Serenity since their last meal together, she had been quietly observing Serenity’s behavior. She chose to ignore Serenity and act as though she did not know her because Zachary expressed a desire to assess Serenity’s character and determine if she was worthy of spending his life with. He had not formally declared their marriage.
Tania had yet to fully accept Serenity as her daughter-in-law, which contributed to her pretense of ignorance. Serenity, being sensible, did not pressure Tania and left the situation quickly.
“That’s true. The elders in the York family are all open-minded. This is precisely why so many noble ladies aspire to marry into your family. They may not lack money, but your family’s exceptional nature and the remarkable men within it make them enviable. Whoever they marry will surely find happiness,” Tania remarked.
“It’s unfortunate I don’t have a daughter. Like you, I’ve only had sons. I hope to have a granddaughter in the future,” her friend replied, eager to establish a connection with the York family. Sadly, her hopes were unfulfilled as her attempts to conceive a daughter had not succeeded.
She is a girl. Otherwise, with Tania’s friendship, if she had a daughter, the girl would certainly be childhood friends with Zachary. “I look forward to having a granddaughter in the future, too. The family only has sons. Boys can be such a headache; they aren’t as considerate as girls.” Tania did not have a daughter, so she was also hoping for a granddaughter someday. The York family even offered a reward to anyone who had a daughter. Old Mrs. York declared she would give five hundred million to the couple who bore a girl. If they could produce multiple daughters, they would become incredibly wealthy. The two continued their conversation about their children as they walked. After Serenity walked away and glanced back at her mother-in-law, she noticed that Tania had already left with her friend. She paused in silence for a moment before returning to her car, which was parked at the street corner. Since the day the Yorks visited Serenity and Zachary in their new home, Serenity had sensed that her mother-in-law disapproved of her marriage to Zachary. However, Serenity’s mother-in-law was cultured, so even if she didn’t like her, she remained polite and did not make things difficult for her daughter-in-law, maintaining at least a cordial relationship.
