The old lady said, “Let’s keep it simple. Just pack two sets of clothes for changing; we don’t need anything more. The Johnsons have everything we might require. We’ll stay at their house for a while, and afterward, I’ll take you to Medicine Valley to visit the old doctor. I’m not sure if he’ll be there, but if he’s not, he’ll likely be at FC Manor pretending to be a grandpa. Seren’s due date is still two weeks away, so we’ll be back before then.”
The old lady had already mapped out their next two and a half months: they would spend two months having fun and then return to enjoy a quiet couple of weeks awaiting her transition to grandmotherhood.
Rosella had no objections and allowed her mother-in-law to take charge. She then went back to her residence to pack. While walking through the yard, she bumped into Madisyn, who inquired about her destination. Rosella shared the plan, and upon hearing it, Madisyn expressed her desire to join.
As the old lady prepared to leave with her two daughters-in-law, Tania arrived home just in time to see them. Noticing her mother-in-law setting off with Rosella and Madisyn, Tania immediately protested. She grabbed the old lady’s hand, insisting that she go along too.
The old lady sighed, clearly exasperated, and glanced at Rosella twice, as if silently blaming her. Rosella could only respond with an awkward smile.
In the end, the four of them—mother-in-law and three daughters-in-law—departed Wildridge Manor together.
When the old lady’s three sons returned home, they discovered that their wives had been taken away by their mother. None of them knew where the women had gone, leaving the brothers standing there, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Liam, the eldest son, called Zachary to vent. “Zachary, your grandma…
Your mom and two aunts have been abducted. No one knows where they went. I even asked the butler, but he has no idea. Seriously? We were only gone for a few days, and she’s already vanished again. It used to be just your grandma sneaking off, but now she has three accomplices.” Zachary sighed. “At least Serenity isn’t at Wildridge Manor. Otherwise, Grandma might have taken her too.” He continued, “Grandma’s been cooped up at home for six months. She probably needed a break. Just let her have her fun; she’ll come back when she’s had enough. Mom and my aunts rarely get to spend time with her, so it’s nice they’re getting this chance together.”
Liam grumbled, “Fine, but why didn’t she take me with her? One more person wouldn’t have been too much. Your grandma’s so biased. To her, daughters-in-law are like her own daughters, while sons are just accessories—like freebies you get when you recharge your phone. When something good happens, she thinks of her daughters-in-law first, then her granddaughters-in-law, then the grandsons, and only finally us, her sons.”
Zachary stifled a laugh. “Dad, if you’re bored, why not ask Uncle Damon and Uncle Henry to go out with you? You three used to travel as couples, but this time you could go as brothers. It would be a change of pace.”
Liam snorted. “No way. Your uncles are no fun to travel with. We’d just end up bickering the whole time. I prefer going out with your mom. But now she’s run off, leaving me all alone at home.”
Zachary endured his father’s complaints for half an hour before finally claiming he had work to do. Only after reassuring him that Grandma would definitely return before Serenity’s due date did Liam reluctantly end the call. Despite all his grumbling, Zachary couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.
Zachary couldn’t help but smile. His parents had been married for decades, yet his father still felt upset whenever his mother left him behind. He sounded like a heartbroken husband abandoned by his wife. However, from another perspective, it was evident how deeply his parents loved each other. Even after all these years, their relationship still radiated the passion of first love. Zachary admired their bond and hoped that he and Serenity would experience the same kind of love as they grew old together. By that time, they would have a home filled with children and grandchildren, and their lives would likely resemble Grandma’s. Grandma truly was the happiest elderly woman in the world.
