Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 928
Mrs. Stone was at a loss for words.
“Seren, since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll sacrifice myself to accompany you and Mom to play pretend with others. On that
kind of occasion, everyone puts on an act.”
Mrs. Stone was infuriated by her daughter.
Serenity laughed and said, “In my opinion, we need to learn to tolerate a lot of things, considering that you’ve decided to learn to
grow a business.”
“How great it would be if Elisa is half as understanding as you are.”
Mrs. Stone could not do anything to her daughter. Of course, her daughter had enough capital, so she could act however she
wanted without having to make a false show of compliance.
“Elisa is great. I like how straightforward Elisa is.”
Elisa lifted her chin complacently and said to her mother, “Mom, look, you think Serenity is better than me, but she thinks that I’m
great.”
“Oh you, becoming so arrogant with just one compliment.”
The three of them were chatting merrily. With Sonny’s baby talk in between, the house was filled with laughter.
After a while, a maid walked over and said courteously, “Ma’am, dinner is ready.”
Mrs. Stone said to Serenity, “Mm. Seren, we’ll have dinner first. After that, you can go upstairs and try Elisa’s gowns to see which
style suits you. Then, I’ll buy you a few sets of gowns. You can have your hair styled in the afternoon.
“Since you’ve chosen to be with Zachary, you shouldn’t rely on him and lose your sense of self. You need to make a change.
“Besides, what you’re trying to learn will be useful to your life. I’ll slowly teach you etiquette. You’re clever, and I believe you’ll
grasp it in no time.”
Serenity adhered to Mrs. Stone’s plan and had no comment on it.

She might not be able to embark on the same path as her aunt did, but she could work hard to be more outstanding. That way,
she would not hold Zachary back, at least.
“Let’s have dinner, Sonny.”
Mrs. Stone carried Sonny whom she was very fond of. He resembled her sister when she was young. If she put on a skirt for
Sonny, he would bear a closer resemblance to her sister.
“Mom, is Alice at home?”
“She said she hasn’t been feeling well lately, so she went to the hospital for a check- up. Before Seren came, Alice called to
inform me that she would have dinner with. her family after the check–up. Then, she’ll come back at night.”
Mrs. Stone would not restrict the number of times her daughter–in–law visited her mother. She too had a daughter. After her
daughter got married, Mrs. Stone would also hope that her daughter could visit her often.
Some wealthy women would impose many restrictions on their daughters–in–law.
“Why isn’t Alice feeling well?” Elisa asked concernedly as she had a good
relationship with her eldest sister–in–law.
Serenity was very concerned about Alice’s condition too.
“She hasn’t given me a call yet. She probably hasn’t gotten the report.”
Mrs. Stone said, “That shouldn’t be a big issue. We go for a body check–up every half a year.”
At the mention of the body check–up, Serenity recalled what Zachary said to her. She wondered if she should go to the hospital
for a check–up as well.
They sat at the dining table.
As Sonny could eat on his own, he did not need the adults to feed him.
This reduced the hassle for them.
Just as Mrs. Stone lifted her spoon, a maid came in and said politely, “Ma’am, Mr. Zachary is here.”
