However, the health of the wealthy elderly ladies was not as robust as Grandma May’s. In her later years, Grandma May often traveled by plane to carefully select brides for her brothers. They were quite ungrateful. Evan secretly resented that if his grandma hadn’t assigned him this task, he would have to wait until he was thirty-five to marry, rather than having the chance to wed at 28 or 29. Although he admired the happy marriage of his brother and sister-in-law, he preferred to remain free and unrestrained. Grandma May likely understood their thoughts and knew they wouldn’t marry until their thirties, which is why she set them this task. Zachary said, “Grandma can also stay active by dancing square dance; dancing at home won’t disturb anyone.” He had long been aware that Grandma learned square dancing from the aunts in the community. Grandma May had lived her life freely and without constraint, doing whatever she pleased, unbound by her status. Her children and grandchildren wanted her to be happy, and they would support her desires as long as it brought her joy. Zachary asked, “What are you looking for, Grandma?” As Evan entered the kitchen, he whispered, “I wish Grandma would let me off the hook. I really don’t want to marry so soon. My original plan was to wed at 35, but now Grandma has set a goal for me. I’ll be 29 when the one-year deadline arrives, which is several years earlier than I intended.” Zachary chuckled, “After 28 years with Grandma, you still don’t understand her temperament? You’re just wasting your efforts.” He believed there was a lesson from Grandma’s past that Evan and Elian would accept her goals willingly, but it seemed Evan was still trying to evade the task. Kevin took half a…

Zachary had anticipated that Kevin would stay in Jensburg for an extended period to pursue his wife. He estimated it would take a few days before Kevin returned to attend his wedding with Serenity. Fortunately, Kevin had Serenity to assist him in his pursuit of Hayden, which would expedite the process. However, they still didn’t know when Hayden’s gender identity might be revealed, which was crucial for a positive outcome.

Evan, slightly embarrassed by his older brother’s teasing, responded, “I just don’t give up; I want to try.” Zachary replied, “I was taken aback too. Initially, I resisted, but ultimately I found myself marrying your sister-in-law in a blink. I’m very happy now and don’t regret that quick marriage.”

Turning to Evan, Zachary asked, “Do you want fried eggs?” Evan replied, “Yes.” Zachary handed him the spatula, saying, “If you want to eat, you’ll have to make it yourself.”

Evan pleaded, “Brother, could you help me prepare breakfast?” Zachary replied, “If you wait outside for a bit, I’ll get everything ready. Since you came in early, I’ve already prepared three breakfasts. Aren’t you embarrassed to steal your grandma’s and your brother-in-law’s food?”

Evan sighed, “If I had known, I would have lingered outside a bit longer before coming in. I thought I could sample your cooking, but now I have to do it myself.”

Realizing his luck had run out, he prepared to make breakfast. “What method do you plan to use?” Zachary asked, knowing that Evan would likely fail, but curious nonetheless.

Evan began to share his dream with Zachary. After finishing, he whispered, “Brother, if I become the first divorced man in our York…”

“In the future, when you, my family, discipline me, please show mercy.”
