Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 327 After the mother and son ended their call, Zachary frowned and thought about it. He then went ahead and asked
the lady in front of him who was holding her kitty on the balcony swing. “Did you meet my mom without my knowledge?”
Serenity froze.
She had not mentioned the encounter with her mother-in law to him. How did he know?

Zachary walked up to her and stood opposite her. His burning dark eyes locked on her pretty face, and he asked again, “Did you
meet my mom today?“. Serenity saw he was still holding his cell phone and thought her mother–in–law had called to complain to
him about her, so she quickly explained, “I bumped into your mom when I was buying clothes for you. I wanted to greet her, but
maybe she didn‘t recognize me. She walked away with her friend while laughing and talking, so I didn‘t greet her.”
Zachary was a smart person.
Tania was his mother. Althoughhe was brought up by his grandparents, he did not alienate his parents. His relationship with his
parents was cordial too.
He knew his mother very well.
His mother definitely did not want people to know that Serenity was her daughter–in–law. It was to help him hide
the fact that he was married, and also because she was not entirely pleased about Serenity. She had nothing against Serenity as
a person, but she felt that the gap between Serenity‘s background and her son was too large.
His mother felt heartbroken for him. His grandmother had nine grandsons, but her son had to be the one who married Serenity
as a show of gratitude.
After a moment‘s silence, Zachary said, “My mom is a little nearsighted, but she doesn‘t like to wear glasses. Even if she might
see people she knows when she‘s out, she always looks at others for cues. Unless she‘s very familiar with the person, she‘ll just
walk by and pretend she doesn‘t know them because she doesn‘t dare to greet them. Serenity understood now. “I see. It‘s no
wonder she saw me but quickly pretended not to know me earlier. I couldn‘t bring myself to greet her either because I was afraid
of making things awkward.

“I‘ll tell Mom to wear glasses when she goes out shopping next time, lest something like this happens again. She thought about it
when she got home and felt that the person looked like you, so she called to ask me. I was confused and figured that you two
might have met.”
“You can tell her to wear contact lenses if she feels uncomfortable wearing glasses.” Zachary hummed.
Seeing that she adored the pets, he looked at the time and asked her, “Do you want to take them downstairs and have a stroll
around the neighborhood? We‘re usually busy and
only have time to walk them when we get home at night.”
“Are you accompanying me?”
Zachary‘s gaze softened slightly. “Since I proposed it, I‘ll play my part as a gentleman to walk with you.”
Serenity laughed and picked up the little kittens.
The kittens were still unfamiliar with the new environment, so the couple did not bring them out. They only brought the dog
downstairs for a walk.

After moving in, the couple seldom sauntered in the area.
It was almost ten at night, but the small garden in the community was still lively. Many children got carried away with playing and
refused to go home, so they had to be coaxed by their parents and carried away. For some kids who were still not old enough to
go to preschool, their parents allowed them to continue having fun.
The parents felt it was easier to tuck their children into bed if the latter got tired from playing.
“How is your sister doing after she got home?” Zachary asked about his sister–in–law while walking. “Tell me if you need help. I‘ll
try my best to help you. You don‘t have to treat me courteously. We‘re still husband and wife, so your troubles are my troubles.
Your sister is also my sister. I have great respect for her. Serenity turned to look at him.
