Female Novel
Chapter 2976
Needless to ask, Zachary figured his little brother had been sitting and snacking while watching
television, waiting for him to come home.
Austin quickly poured a glass of water for Zachary.
He placed the glass in front of Zachary and then stood to the side with a smile on his handsome face,
as if on standby to act upon his brother’s next command at any second.
Zachary looked up at him before saying in his low voice, “Sit down.”
“Okay—thanks, Zack.”
Austin hurriedly sat down.
“You’re being so polite. And yet you say you haven’t caused any trouble? Tell me what you’ve done for
our parents to argue.”
“Zack, I really didn’t do anything. I just—I just want to go to Satbury in Windermere.”
“What for? It’s so close to Christmas and you’re going so far away. Are you not planning to spend
Christmas at home? If Nana finds out about this, she’ll be the first in line to skin you alive.”
The old woman liked each and every child and grandchild to come home for Christmas.
It was even merrier now that she had a few granddaughters-in-law.
They had even heard that Hayden would be coming back with Kevin for Christmas. However, Zachary
did not know if they were getting engaged. He had not received any updates about that yet.
Thinking about it now though, it was probably not far off.
After all, Hayden had officially announced her relationship with Kevin, and all of Jensburg knew now
that she was a woman.
“I want to work as a chef. The O’Connors in Satbury are looking for one. Ms. O’Connor is a foodie and
a picky eater so they have high demands for their private chef. I want to give it a try. It’ll be a challengenovelbin
for me.”
Zachary’s brows furrowed a little before they smoothed out once more. He asked, “Did Nana pick
O'Connor's daughter for you?”
Satbury was too far.
Satbury…neighbor of Havenmill.
Laurence was from there.
Was Grandma May planning to wade into those muddy waters now?
Zachary recalled that the Yorks and Johnsons had a close relationship. Plus, Camryn’s eyes were
being treated by Dr. Carden, Tim Johnson’s wife. On top of that, Elisa, Serenity’s cousin, was marrying
Remy. The Yorks and the Johnsons were inextricably linked.
If anything happened to the Johnsons in the future, there was no way the Yorks would just stand by
and watch it happen.
However, both the Johnsons and Yorks were too far away from Havenmill. If they wanted to help
Laurence out in the future, they would be too far to offer assistance.
It would be different though if they had connections in Satbury.
Zachary was thinking further ahead than Austin, whose thoughts had yet to reach.
As for Grandma May’s farsighted planning, Zachary chose not to reveal it. It was only his guess, after
all.
It was possible Grandma May simply liked the O’Connor girl.
Austin blushed.
He really could not hide anything from his brother.
Zachary was even more canny than Serenity was.
“Nana has chosen the eldest daughter of the O’Connors for me—Isabella O’Connor.”
Zachary’s expression screamed ‘I knew it!’.
“How many daughters do they have?”
“There are four family units. Only the eldest and the youngest have sons. The second and third family
units only have daughters.
“Isabella has two younger siblings, a sister and a brother, from the same mother. There’s a twenty-year
age gap between her and her brother. He’s only just started primary school.”
As the O’Connors’ son was too young to take over the family business, it was currently being managed
by Isabella and her sister.
Being the eldest in her generation and whose father was also the eldest, the burden Isabella bore was
heavier than anyone in her family.
In most families, the youngest son would usually be the most pampered, so it was easy for them to end
up being undependable.
Austin did not feel that he was useless. He was just not as steady-going as Zachary was.
“Nana chose her for me. That’s all I know at the moment. I don’t even know what she’s like. It’s hard to
say if I’ll be able to grow feelings for her.”
