Chapter 1511
After Grandma May explained, Serenity felt slightly better.
Otherwise, Serenity would think that she did not fulfill her duty as Mrs. York.
“Seren, Jas, you can carry on with your work. I’ll bring along River to hand out the invitation cards to a few families.”
After sitting for a while, Grandma May rose to her feet and was about to leave.
Serenity and Jasmine got up as well.
“Nana, do you want to come over for lunch at noon?”
“No. I’m treating Mr. Queen to a meal at noon. He’s now in our hotel, and I had Kevin keep him company,” said Grandma May as
she looked at Serenity with a playful gaze.
Serenity got the point and answered with a smile, “Alright. Do pay us a visit whenever you’re free, Nana. It’s best that you come
over and stay with Zachary and I. It’s convenient.”
When she uttered the word “convenient“, she shot a look at Old Mrs. York.
Grandma May understood tacitly and replied, “After River’s birthday, I’ll move to your place. If Zack doesn’t agree, you need to
speak up for me. Well, it’s been a long while since I last mocked Zack. I miss. mocking him.”
Everyone burst into laughter.
“Serenity, Ms. Sox, Nana and I will take our leave.”
While smiling, River wanted to hold Nana, yet she pushed his hand away.
“I’m not so old to the extent that I need you to hold me. When that happens, I’ll soon be reunited with your grandpa.”
At the mention of her partner who passed away years ago, Grandma May could not help but sigh and say, It feels as though I
watched sunrise and sunset with your grandpa yesterday. With the blink of an eye, he has left us for nearly a decade.”
“Nana.”
What feared the Yorks most was when Grandma May thought about her late spouse.
Grandma May was soon pulled back from her drifting thoughts and said, “This was in the past. I can now. face it openly. Humans
have to die one day. It’s a matter of time. Your grandpa went to heaven earlier than me. By the time I reach there, he’ll have
familiarized himself with the environment. Having him guide. me, I won’t panic.”
“Nana, you’ll live a long life. Grandpa would hope that you treasure your life.”
River comforted Nana. “Nana, you have us.”
Grandma May laughed. “Live a long life? Yes, I need to live a long life. I need to help my grandsons to look for wives.”
River said, “Nana... I’m still young. I’m only twenty–three.”
“You’re not young anymore. When your grandpa was your age, he had given birth to your eldest uncle.”
“Nana, people of your generation got married early. This era is different. Now, we advocate late marriage. and childbirth.”
Serenity said, “Nana, River is not in a rush.”
River darted an appreciative glance at Serenity who stood up for him.
Jasmine grinned and said, “Grandma May, you have quite a number of grandsons. Those who are older. than River are still
single. I think it’s better for you to pressure them into getting married in the order of their age. It’s not easy, and it takes at least
two years for them to actually get married after being. pressured.”
Except for Zachary, the rest were unmarried. It would take at least two years for Grandma May to actually make each of them get
married after pressuring them.
This meant that she would need to pressure them for sixteen years before her grandsons could all get married. She would be
almost a centenarian by then.
“I’m not saying River is in a rush. He’s not. He still needs training. My grandson who’s twenty–five is still single, that’s why I
briefly mentioned it. If any of them are still single at the age of twenty–eight, I’ll pressure them.”
