Accidentally Yours (Serena and Harrison) novel Chapter 4

"Listen, Harrison. If you don't bring me a granddaughter-in-law within a week, you're going on blind dates," Martha demanded.

Her first step was to threaten and bribe.

"Otherwise… I don't want to live anymore! Just let me die with regrets. Let me go to the afterlife and apologize to your dead parents and grandfather!" Martha exclaimed dramatically.

Her second step was to use death as leverage.

Harrison let out a helpless sigh. "Grandma, you're being completely unreasonable."

Martha huffed and said matter-of-factly, "Yes, I'm being unreasonable. Now, go figure it out yourself!"

Harrison couldn't do anything about her, so he had no choice but to give in. "Fine. I'll find one for you right away."

Her third step was to seal the deal.

Martha's lips curved up into a triumphant smile as she reminded him, "Don't forget. Within a week!"

Harrison rose to his feet in silence. His expression was dark as he strode out of Martha's room.

Lewis finally spoke once he was certain Harrison had left, "Mrs. Spencer Senior, aren't you afraid that Mr. Spencer will truly get angry if you push him like this?"

The smile on Martha's face gradually faded, and a trace of sorrow surfaced in her timeworn eyes.

"Harry's parents died when he was very young, leaving only him behind," she explained. "All his uncles may appear respectful after Albert's passing, but in reality, they've always been watching like hawks. They're just waiting for their chance.

"The reason I'm pressuring him like this is because I want him to start a family soon. It'll ensure this bloodline of ours will continue."

Her words carried both helplessness and concern.

…

Pierce Young, who had been waiting by the black Maybach, opened the door to the back seat as soon as he saw Harrison step out of the manor.

"Mr. Spencer," Pierce greeted.

Harrison stopped beside Pierce and instructed, "Find out everything about the woman from last night. Leave no stone unturned."

"Yes, sir," Pierce responded.

Harrison lowered himself into the car as the door slowly closed behind him. Pierce quickly got back into the front passenger seat.

With the low hum of the engine, the car slowly pulled away from Spencer Manor.

…

Serena left the hotel and went straight to a pharmacy to buy emergency contraception. Since Harrison had rejected her marriage proposal, there was no need for her to be entangled with him. He was not someone she could afford to provoke, after all.

She would treat last night as if it was a stroke of bad luck. She didn't suffer much damage, anyway.
