Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 3218

The two had breakfast together before leaving the suite.

The hotel butler would tidy the place and put things back in their original places for Zachary’s next visit.

Imogen went back to her room to catch up on sleep.

Meanwhile, Dylan called Grandma May. When she picked up, he asked, “Where are you, Nana?”

“I’m at Wildridge Manor. What’s up? Do you miss me? If you do, come back and have lunch with me,” she said. “My fish is done grilling! It smells so good.”

Dylan was speechless for a moment. “It’s early in the morning and you’re grilling fish to eat?”

“I’m not talking to you, I’m talking to my friends. And what’s wrong with eating grilled fish in the morning? It’s not that early anyway—it’s past nine. Can’t you see the sun is so high up in the sky?

“It’s warmer out today, too, so I went fishing with a few old friends and we are grilling our catches. It feels like we’re having a picnic and it’s pretty nice.”

Dylan could imagine the scene. There was a stream at the foot of the hill that ran clear and had many fish and shrimp.

The old lady would sometimes invite a few of her employees’ mothers to catch shrimp in the stream together.

Under the big tree beside the stream, there were a few stone tables. All she had to do was say the word and Sam would move a grill there for the mischievous old kids to grill their food. If someone else did it for them, they would complain that it did not taste good.

“I-I didn’t steal it. She lost it and I picked it up.”

“Didn’t I teach you to be honest? You should return it to her if she can prove it’s hers.”

Dylan protested, “She can’t—that’s exactly why I didn’t dare to give it to her. What if it isn’t and the real owner comes looking for me? What would I tell her then?”

She chortled. “Oh, Dylan. All nine of you are very smart, I admit. Your Gramps and I just had such good genes that your dads and you guys inherited it all. But smart people can sometimes get in their own way.”

When Grandma May praised her grandsons, she praised her late husband while she was at it. It was precisely because they had good genes that they had outstanding sons who passed it onto their grandchildren too.
