Chapter 734

Zachary’s words immediately sparked his mother’s anger.

“Who said a wife must wake up early to prepare breakfast for you? Who said she has to clean the house? That’s not natural at all. She owes you nothing and doesn’t need to serve you like a king. Zack, you claim to have learned from your father, but you couldn’t be more mistaken.”

“You need to correct your thinking right now. Where did you pick up these ideas? All the women who married into our family are treated well by their husbands. You’re the only one who treats Serenity like a servant, and you dare call that natural? Thank goodness I came over today. If your nana heard what you just said, she would knock you over with her cane and beat you half to death.”

“Serenity, Serenity!”

After scolding her son, Tania called out to Serenity, who was busy in the kitchen.

Serenity quickly emerged from the kitchen. “What’s wrong?”

“Come here.”

As Serenity approached, Tania removed her apron and instructed her son,

“Take off your suit jacket and tie. You can put them back on later.”

Zachary complied without hesitation.

Then, his loving mother put the apron on him and nudged him toward the kitchen, saying, “Go make breakfast and let Serenity rest. Change your habit of being treated like a king at home.”

Serenity quickly interjected, “Mom, it’s fine. I can handle it.”

“Serenity, don’t indulge him. I gave birth to him, so I know his temperament. He’s chauvinistic and believes everyone should cater to him. You must have had a tough time being with him these past few months.”

Serenity thought to herself, ‘A mother truly knows her child.’

In the past, Zachary had indeed believed that everyone revolved around him. He thought he was the center of the universe and was…

especially petty. He also had a short temper.

After the couple had fought twice, he found himself in a period of change. No one knew if he could truly transform, and perhaps someday, he would lose his temper and argue with her again.

“Mom, which one of us did you actually give birth to?” Zachary grumbled as he tied his apron.

With a disgruntled expression, he entered the kitchen but glanced back to wink at Serenity when their eyes met.

Tania feigned indifference to her son’s complaints.

She pulled Serenity onto the sofa and lectured her, “Serenity, you need to share some chores with Zack in the future. Don’t spoil him.”

“I’m really not, Mom… Nana taught me this before.”

The elders of the York family were exceptionally kind.

Grandma May had instructed her on how to train Zachary to be a good husband without spoiling him, but Serenity didn’t think much of it. After all, she had saved Grandma May and was familiar with her. Grandma May was also someone who valued reason over family ties.

Now that her mother-in-law echoed the same sentiment, it confirmed that Zachary’s family was indeed a good one.

She considered herself fortunate to have married Zachary.

“Your nana taught you, but you also need to learn to apply it well. Otherwise, it would all be in vain. You’ll end up suffering if you spoil Zack rotten,” Tania advised.

Serenity chuckled. “Mom, outsiders might think I’m your biological daughter and Zachary is your son-in-law.”

Tania was left speechless.

It appeared she was indeed acting contrary to what she should be, favoring her son rather than her daughter-in-law.

“A good daughter-in-law is like an actual daughter,” Tania said, as if trying to convince herself.

Perhaps it was because she had been spoiled by her husband throughout her life that she took her daughter-in-law’s side after hearing her son’s earlier remarks. She felt

as if she had been deceived by her son.
