NovelEnglishMarried At First Sight Chapter 3812
The old lady couldn't help but envy Mrs. Johnson. She had a daughter, and while her own grandchildren were all
boys, Mrs. Johnson's greatgranddaughter, Avah, was a sweet, easy-to-care-for child who rarely cried. In over 80
years, the old lady had never seen such an easygoing little girl.

Tania mumbled, "How's this our fault? Mom, you didn't have a daughter either. It would've been nice if you had.
When you were younger, you could've adopted a daughter. Maybe we'd have a girl in our family now."
The old lady sighed, "Do you think I didn't try? When | was young, a friend of mine had several daughters. | liked
one of them and decided to bring her hto raise as my own. But within six months, she fell ill repeatedly and

birth mother. Strangely enough, after she went back, she quickly recovered and was healthy within a month. "I
didn't believe in superstitions, so | tried again with another friend's daughter. But the sthing happened-she
was always sick, and my friend got so scared that she rushed to take her back, saying that the York family is like
a Buddhist temple. We couldn't raise a daughter of our own, nor could we raise anyone else's. So, | gave up."
The old lady knew her in-laws and ancestors had daughters in the previous two generations, but they hadn't
survived.
Serenity gently chimed in, "Maybe it's because Grandma didn't know how to raise a daughter. You wanted a
daughter so much that you were extra careful, but sometimes being overly cautious can make a child more
susceptible to illness." She continued, "You raised your sons without much fuss, almost like you were raising
livestock," she chuckled. "But if you suddenly had a daughter, you'd treat her like a precious treasure, which
might not be good for her health."
The old lady had several sons and raised them in a straightforward, nononsense way. But when it ca
daughter, her approach would've been different. Being overly protective can sometimes have the opposite
effect.
Serenity added, "Plus, when you were younger, you were busy helping Grandpa build the family business. It's
natural that you couldn't give all your attention to a child."
"If you raised your daughter the
sway you raised your sons, Zachary would probably have at least one aunt by now, even if she was
adopted." The old lady hesitated. "Is that so?" she
murmured, reflecting on how ol

had treated the two baby girls she brought hall those years ago. Compared to the way she raised her sons
and grandsons, she sighed deeply. "Maybe | just didn't know how to raise a daughter, and | wasn't meant to have
one."
She then made a promise to herself. If she ever had a
great-granddaughter, she would simply enjoy holding and playing with her. She would leave the responsibility of
raising her to her grandchildren. The younger generation had their own ways of
parenting, after all.
"Grandma, Seren just woke up and is probably hungry. Let her eat something first," Zachary intervened, worried
that the conversation might put pressure on Serenity to have a daughter. Both the old lady and Tania quickly
agreed in unison, "Seren, go eat something! Don't stay hungry."
The old lady then turned to Zachary, scolding him, "Zack, you should take Seren to eat. How could you let her go
hungry? Pregnant women need to eat small, frequent meals. Make sure she eats often!"
