Chapter 246
Grandma May noticed that her grandson was preoccupied with his food and was not paying attention to his wife, so she discreetly nudged his foot under the table.
Zachary looked up at his grandmother with his dark, innocent eyes, feigning ignorance about the meaning behind her nudge.
Grandma May felt a surge of frustration.
Initially, she and her husband had devoted themselves to raising their eldest grandson as their successor, investing all their efforts into him, but the outcomes were disappointing.
While Grandma May was undoubtedly pleased with Zachary’s professional abilities, as evidenced by how York Corporation had thrived under his leadership, outpacing Stone Group, she felt he lacked emotional intelligence in his love life.
“Peel some shrimp for Serenity,” she reminded him softly.
Zachary failed to recognize the opportunity he had.
He pursed his thin lips, thinking, ‘She has hands…’
Knowing her grandson well from raising him, Grandma May recognized his thoughts as soon as he made that face.
She shot him a disapproving glare.
Following his grandmother’s stern look, Zachary reluctantly retrieved a pair of disposable gloves from the box, put them on, reached for the plate of shrimp in front of him, and said quietly, “Serenity, you can eat. I’ll peel the shrimp for Sonny.”
Grandma May was at a loss for words.
She had wanted Zachary to be considerate towards Serenity, but instead, he was being attentive to Sonny.
What a hopeless case!
Serenity accepted Zachary’s offer to take on the task and removed her disposable gloves.
Zachary quickly got to work peeling the shrimp, and soon, Sonny’s small plate was filled.
Zachary continued to peel the shrimp, but instead of placing them on Sonny’s plate, he returned them to the original plate.
