Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 970

Chapter 970

“I’ll go now, Grandma May.”

Duncan bent down to ruffle Sonny’s head and bid goodbye to Grandma May. When the old woman hummed, he quickly went away.

Grandma May watched him drive away and looked at Liberty, who was back at the register. She had a small book out as well as a calculator, counting how much money she had spent on the store and its renovations.

Grandma May thought, ‘Seems like I was overthinking it.‘

Liberty had no interest in Duncan.

However, she sat in front of Liberty and asked tentatively, “Liberty, what plans do you have for the future?”

“I hope that All You Can Eat can open countless branches all over the country.”

“Business is important, but what about your private life? You’re still only thirty–one. You’re very young. Have you considered it? I meant what I said back then. If you’re willing, I’ll introduce to you a dedicated and capable young man.

“I guarantee that your second marriage will be better than your first. You’ll live a hundred times better than your ex–husband. Let him regret it.”

Liberty laughed. “Nana, you have nine grandsons. Except for the oldest and youngest ones, the remaining seven are all of marriageable age, but they’re all still single. Isn’t it enough to worry about them?”

Grandma May pulled Sonny over and sat him down on her lap.

She laughed and said, “I’m old now and can’t do anything else. My grandsons take care of me and won’t let me work, so I can only take up the job of a matchmaker out of boredom. Just this morning, I brought two photos to Callum and told him and Kevin to woo their wives according to the goal I gave them. They should be able to shed their bachelor status in a year.

“I’m not that worried about my grandsons under twenty–five. Only the first six are over twenty–five, and the younger three are still young. There’s no worry. Men mature later and are not as precocious as women. They can only support a small family when they marry at an older age.”

If a man married too young, he would still be a child at heart and was not capable of raising a family.

“Grandma May, I’m divorced and a single mother. I have no intention of remarrying for the time being.”

“I’m telling you this because I want you to know that I can really help you find a man. You’ll be happier in your second marriage.”

Liberty politely refused. “Grandma May, I don’t have the heart to think about love now. I’ve known Hank for more than ten years, but we divorced after less than four years of marriage. We almost became enemies too. It’s enough to torment me.

“What has marriage brought me? The only good thing I got out of that marriage was Sonny.

“I have to think about Sonny too. His biological father already neglects him, let alone a stepfather. What I want now is to raise Sonny well. I don’t need anything else.”

Grandma May was silent, then said, “Then let nature take its course. There are some stepmothers and stepfathers who can also give their hearts and souls to their stepchildren.”

They simply numbered in the minority.

Duncan was the fourth young master of the Lewis family. Mrs. Lewis had high standards and always matched Duncan with ladies whose families met their status.
