She\u2019s not leaving for good, and I won\u2019t permit her to stay away.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>God knew how hard it was for him to let her go, even temporarily, to follow her sister home.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI also need some time to collect myself, but it\u2019s challenging for me. That\u2019s why I want to jump into the pool for a swim. It might help me cool off. I\u2019m not trying to harm myself to get her attention.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Tania blinked in surprise and asked, \u201cYou\u2019re not divorced yet?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cDo you want me to get a divorce?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYes and no. I\u2019ve always felt that you two aren\u2019t compatible. Your social circles are completely different, making it difficult for Serenity to fit in. You might not realize it now since you get along well initially, but you\u2019ll understand once you take Serenity out to socialize, discuss business, and attend various parties, fundraisers, and other events.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou might manage as long as you\u2019re thick-skinned and don\u2019t mind being laughed at, but Serenity will have an even tougher time. Not even the wives of the nouveau riche can break into the high-society circle, let alone Serenity. She would likely face ostracism, ridicule, and mockery.<\/div>\n<div>Tania had spent her life in a wealthy family, usually befriending noblewomen of similar status. She would acknowledge ladies of lower status with a nod but could not accept them into her inner circle.<\/div>\n<div>Not many people could remain as grounded as Grandma May.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHowever, you\u2019ve fallen in love with her, so I don\u2019t\u2014\u201d<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI want you to get a divorce. I\u2019m worried that if you do, you\u2019ll remain a bachelor for life. No mother wishes for her son to be single forever, especially not such an exceptional brat\u2026 I mean man.\u201d Tania quickly corrected her choice of words when her son gave her a sullen look. It was likely because she had been spending too much time with her mother-in-law lately. The old lady had a negative influence on her. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou two have been married for almost five months now, but there\u2019s still no baby. If you had one, you could continue being a bachelor. We could rest easy knowing you\u2019d have a child to take care of you when we\u2019re gone. But since you don\u2019t have a child yet\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cZack, have you two gone to the hospital for a health check?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re capable of having a child, Mom,\u201d Zachary asserted, emphasizing that he was in excellent health. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSerenity is also very healthy. We\u2019re really just a couple in name. How could we possibly have a child?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Tania was taken aback. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m fine, Mom. Go play chess with Dad. I\u2019ll swim to clear my mind. I won\u2019t hurt myself.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary disregarded his mother\u2019s protests, stripped off his clothes, and jumped into the pool. <\/p>\n<p>Once submerged, he thought, Goodness, it\u2019s freezing! <\/p>\n<p>\u201cZack, Zack! You never listen!\u201d Tania called out, scolding him. She shouted toward the house, \u201cMom, Mom! Your darling grandson jumped into the pool!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary sputtered and choked on a mouthful of water. His elegant mother must have been influenced by his grandmother. <\/p>\n<p>The distance was considerable, and Grandma May was lying in her room, pretending to be sick, so she couldn\u2019t hear them. <\/p>\n<p>When Tania realized her shouting was futile even after two attempts, she left her son behind and hurried into the house. Unable to convince her son, she decided to enlist Grandma May\u2019s help.<\/p>\n<p>She stepped in. She believed her son was attempting to get sick in order to upset her daughter-in-law. When Grandma May learned that Zack had jumped into the outdoor pool despite the cold weather, she could no longer pretend to be ill. She sprang out of bed, put on a jacket, and told her daughter-in-law, \u201cI\u2019ll call him back. That little brat.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Chapter 852 <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if he wants me to feel guilty and blame myself, he doesn\u2019t need to jump into the pool on a cold day.\u201d Tania thought, \u2018So this is a matter between grandmother and grandson?\u2019<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 852 \u201cMom.\u201d If Zachary did not clarify things, his mother might actually set him up on a blind date, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12754"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12754\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
