“I really like Serenity, but the reason I insisted that Zack marry her was because of a fortune teller. He predicted that Serenity and Zack were destined to be husband and wife.”
Callum was taken aback but continued, “Nana, where did this fortune teller come from? Is he really that impressive?”
“All fortune tellers can determine if a couple is meant for marriage.”
Grandma May did not reveal the identity of the fortune teller.
“Could you pour me a glass of water?”
“Of course.”
Callum quickly poured her a cup of warm water.
The old woman took two sips, then slowly pulled out two photographs and handed them to Callum, saying, “Choose one of the two as your target. I’ll give you one year to achieve your goal.”
“What if we don’t end up together after a year?”
“Then you can leave! You can come back once you’ve accomplished the goal.”
Callum was speechless. “Nana, that’s so harsh. We’re your grandsons.”
“Grandsons are worthless.”
“I could undergo a sex change operation and become your granddaughter instead.”
“Be my guest, but even if you do that, you still won’t be a granddaughter in my eyes.”
Callum chuckled. “I’m just kidding, Nana.”
He had no desire to become a woman.
He took the two photos from her hands and examined them. His eyes widened as he pointed to one of the photos, asking, “Nana, are you sure you’re looking for a wife for me? It seems more like you’re searching for a brother instead.”
One of the pictures featured a handsome man.
Grandma May rolled her eyes. “Have you heard of Ms. Stoll, the President of Stoll Corporation in Annenburg? Casey Stoll is a woman who looks like a man. If it weren’t for her impending marriage and pregnancy, many people would have thought that…”
She was, in fact, a man.
