Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 3031

Rosella only withdrew her gaze once Camryn was with Tasha.

Her good friend said of her, “Your daughter-in-law seems very precious to you. She’s only a couple of feet away. Are you that afraid she’ll fall or something?”

Rosella laughed. “She’s precious, alright. To the Yorks, all daughters-in-law are treasures that deserve to be doted on and cherished by the whole family.

“My boy Callum only got married when he turned thirty. It wasn’t easy, and I only have one daughter-in-law now, so it’s natural to pamper her and treat her like a precious person.”

Rosella made no secret of her satisfaction and love for her daughter-in-law.

Her friend laughed. “The men of your family are famous for pampering their wives a lot and the women are famous for doting on their daughters-in-law. I don’t have any daughters, but if I did, I would do anything to latch onto you guys and become your in-laws.

“This is your daughter-in-law’s first public appearance at a gathering like this, but she’s not shy at all, and is in fact very charming. I thought her mother would have ruined her.

“The first time I saw Camryn, she was delivering a bouquet of flowers to her sister, who was being difficult. It was Serenity who stepped up to help her resolve the situation then.”

Rosella replied, “Thankfully, Seren was there to help her out. That mother and sister of hers really are no good.”

At the thought of the things Paige had done to Camryn, Rosella’s good friend said, “Your daughter-in-law is quite pitiful too. We’re all mothers, but I’d never be able to do something like that.

“Even if I didn’t love my husband, my daughter is my flesh and blood whom I carried for nine months and gave birth to. How could she be so cruel as to harm her own daughter?

“Even animals don’t eat their young.”

Rosella said, “Camryn suffered for the last two decades or so, but from now on, for the rest of her life, she’ll live like a queen.”

She had them to dote on her!

“It looks like quite a few people look down on your daughter-in-law,” Rosella’s friend whispered, lest someone else heard it.

“In the past, everyone was so envious of Serenity, but someone was ballsy enough to call Tania to try to criticize her. Tania gave that someone a good tongue-lashing. Once news of that spread, no one dared to say anything about Serenity anymore.”

“That person was just much too mouthy. What right does she have to say anything about any member of the Yorks? Serenity’s elders like us have never even raised our voices at her. So who are these outsiders to say a single negative word about her?

“Tania’s so nice. If it were me, I would have gone looking for that person right away to give her a tight slap.”

“Word. They’re just mouthy. Really, they’re just envious. There’s no need to pay them any mind.”

“Who has the time to even think about them? I wouldn’t even bother with them if they hadn’t come looking for trouble.”

Camryn did not know what Rosella and her good friend were talking about. When she went over to Tasha, Tasha got her some food as well as a glass of red wine.

“Tasha, I can’t drink right now.”
