Chapter 44
Chapter 44 – Jasmine chuckled in amusement, loving Grandma May‘s funny quips.
Jasmine had never met Zachary in person but got to know his aloof nature from her best friend. It was a wonder that he was
related to Grandma May.
Soon, Cullum arrived. He was here to bring his gallivanting grandmother home. Nana reminded him to drive a cheaper vehicle.
The cheapest car in the house was a BMW used by the housekeeper to get groceries. However, it was worth over a million
bucks. Since it was too late to
buy one, Callum had to borrow the gardener‘s pickup truck. “Serenity, I‘m here to take Nana home.” Callum came into the shop
and said hello to Serenity.
“Drive safe. Nana, please give me a message when you get home,” Serenity urged and gave them the crafts she made today.
She gave Callum a copper – wire miniature tree. Callum was glad to accept the gift as he had grown to admire Serenity‘s work
after seeing them around the house.
He believed Serenity‘s handicrafts might not be worth a lot, but they were pleasing to the eye. Grandma May and Cullum did not
stay for long. Once they were far away, Grandma May asked Callum,“ Where did you get this car?” “It‘s Tom‘s truck to transport
fertilizers and pots.
I borrowed the car from him. We don‘t want Serenity to be suspicious now, do we?” Since Zachary hid his wealth from Serenity,
the whole family had to play along too. Nevertheless, it was fun. Callum looked forward to the day Zachary fell head over heels
for Serenity.
It would be intriguing to find out Serenity‘s response when she realized Zachary had been lying to her. Fine. Secretly , Cullum
could not wait to watch Zachary worm his way out of this mess! “No wonder I thought the car was familiar. So, it belongs to Tom.”
Pulling out her phone, Grandma May gave Zachary a call.
The old lady immediately put forth an order the moment Zachary picked up. “Zack, I‘m craving Beans and Cream‘s desserts. Can
you get them for me? I love their desserts.” Furrowing his brows, Zachary replied, “You can ask anyone else in the house to run
the errand.”
Why did he have to make the trip? “What? Can‘t I ask you? I‘m going to apply to be a cleaner at the office tomorrow if I don’t see
Beans and Cream’s desserts on the table later.” Zachary was speechless.. Nana had been acting out since the passing of
Gramps, often dressing down as she got out and about. Well, Nana even got him a wife.
Fine, I‘ll go!” Zachary hissed through gritted teeth. Satisfied, Grandma May hung up the call. Cullum got a word in. “Nana, we
could get the desserts on our way back if you want. Zachary doesn‘t have to do it.”
