Tania thought about how most people only married once in their lives. Serenity married her son, but she did not get anything. It was not strange for her to feel wronged.
Tania said, “You can make up for the betrothal gift and wedding ceremony.” Zachary knew that it was possible to make up for it, but indisputably, he had always. made her suffer.
He stood up. “I’ll go talk to Nana. Don’t blame her. Maybe this is a trial I have to overcome. A trial of love.” It was because his life had been smooth sailing since birth and he had never suffered any setbacks.
Thus, God was giving him a trial now.
“Zack, I still have to remind you this–our identity has been exposed to the people in Serenity’s circle. Her relatives and sister’s ex–husband’s family may try to pester you. You can’t give them benefits for Serenity’s sake. Those people are like vampires; they’ll come back for more if you give them anything even for once.
“They’ll cling to you and suck you dry. It wouldn’t be bad to give them benefits if they treated Serenity well, but they’ve been horrible to Serenity and her sister. I can’t stand them. They have no right to call themselves Serenity’s relatives. They’re even worse than neighbors. I feel suffocated just thinking that you’ll give them benefits.” Zachary’s face was sullen. “I act according to Serenity’s attitude. She’s not willing to reconcile with them, so there’s no way I’ll give them benefits. In fact, the troubles they’re facing now are caused by me.
“As for her sister’s ex–husband and his family, he’s already the past, so they have nothing to do with each other anymore. Is Hank going to run to me and say that he’s my brother–in–law?” Tania said, “I’m glad you’re aware. If there’s one thing I like about Serenity, it’s that she knows how to discriminate between people who are kind to her and those who aren’t.” She was not some kind of saint.
