These beautiful, lifelike creations were not of significant monetary value, but they held immense sentimental worth as gifts from her beloved granddaughter-in-law.<\/div>\n<div>Whenever guests visited and admired the unique pieces, Grandma May seized the opportunity to promote Serenity\u2019s online store, hoping to boost her business sales. \u201cHave some water, Grandma May,\u201d Jasmine offered as she poured her a refreshing glass.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThank you, Jas. It\u2019s lovely to see you here too.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Jasmine sighed, expressing her frustration, \u201cMy mom keeps pushing me to get married. I came to the shop for some peace and quiet, but she won\u2019t stop setting me up with guys as if I\u2019m some unsellable product. Tonight, I\u2019ve got a blind date at XX Coffee House, and I\u2019m desperately hoping Serenity will come along.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>With a twinkle in her eye, Grandma May smiled warmly, \u201cI can understand your mom\u2019s perspective. It seems my other grandsons have no intention of settling down either. I can\u2019t even get them to agree to a date.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cSerenity, why don\u2019t you accompany Jasmine tonight?\u201d Grandma May suggested.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity was taken aback, astonished that her Nana was urging her to join Jasmine on her date.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou and Jas are best friends. You could support her and help determine if the guy is a good match. You have experience with this,\u201d Grandma May added.<\/div>\n<div>Jasmine eagerly nodded, \u201cNana is the best! Please come with me, Seren. Well, if you can convince my mom to stop setting me up on blind dates, I\u2019d understand if you don\u2019t want to go.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>With Grandma May backing her up, Serenity realized she had little choice but to relent for the sake of harmony. \u201cAlright, just this once.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>\u201c\u2026and that\u2019s it,\u201d Jasmine concluded, beaming with satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYay! You\u2019re the best!\u201d replied Serenity, excitement evident in her voice. <\/p>\n<p>With a smile, Jasmine said, \u201cGrandma May, I\u2019ll leave you and Seren to chat. I need to shop for some stuff.\u201d This left Serenity and Grandma May with some quality nana and granddaughter-in-law time.<\/p>\n<p>Once Jasmine had stepped out, Grandma May pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Serenity. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s this, Nana? Did you write me a love letter?\u201d Serenity teased, intrigued.<\/p>\n<p>Grandma May chuckled, \u201cCheeky girl! These are some of Zack\u2019s habits and hobbies. Take a look. This list should help you two get along better. Seren, even though you and Zack entered this marriage without love, those feelings can be cultivated. Tear down your defensive walls and really get to know one another. I believe you\u2019ll soon discover a mutual attraction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Serenity unfolded the paper, reflecting on the contract Zachary had made her sign. The thought of their impending divorce in just six months made her hesitant about investing time in bonding with him.<\/p>\n<p>She had always been open with Zachary, yet he seemed to keep his distance, despite her kindness. \u201cZack is a bit grumpy when he wakes up and has a tendency to be obsessive about cleanliness. But overall, he\u2019s a pretty good guy,\u201d she noted. Grandma May had hopes that Serenity and Zachary would eventually fall for each other and grow old together.<\/p>\n<p>Serenity was taken aback. \u201cHe\u2019s a grump in the morning?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely! Unless his body clock wakes him up, he\u2019ll unleash fury on anyone who dares disturb him from his sleep. Even I wouldn\u2019t risk waking him up,\u201d Grandma May replied with a grin.<\/p>\n<p>Serenity recalled how she had called Zachary in the mornings before and had to coax him out of bed, but she didn\u2019t remember him ever being angry. Was Grandma May telling the truth? Perhaps Zachary was managing his temper well since they had just tied the knot. \u201cSeren, did you\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast night, you\u2026\u201d Nana said with a blink, prompting Serenity to catch on. With a blush creeping across her face, Serenity responded, \u201cNana, I\u2019m a girl. You can\u2019t really expect me to just leap at a man.\u201d And not just any man, but Zachary, to be precise.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 42 Grandma May proudly showcased Serenity\u2019s stunning copper wire crafts throughout her home.
