Cupid's Arrow hit me hard! novel Chapter 2003

As Serenity stared at Zachary, he bent to whisper by her ear, “Don’t look at me like that, Seren. I won’t be able to resist kissing you.”

“Uncle Zak, what secrets are you sharing with Aunt Ser?” asked the little third-wheeler, neglected by the adults, curiously.

Serenity pushed Zachary lightly. Zachary stood up and looked downward at the little third-wheeler. He patted Sonny’s head resignedly and said, “Sonny, you really are a third wheel.”

“Uncle Zak, my name’s Sonny, not Third Wheel. I’m not a wheel!”

Serenity lifted her nephew with a laugh and walked toward Zachary’s car. As she walked, she smiled and said, “You’re right. Sonny isn’t a third wheel. Your uncle was just teasing you.”

“Why does Uncle Zak keep calling me a third wheel, Aunt Ser? A wheel can spin quickly, but I can’t. Uncle Zak’s talking nonsense.”

Zachary opened the door for Serenity like a gentleman. He said, “Yes. I was talking nonsense. Sonny’s the most serious child who won’t spout nonsense.”

“I’m a good kid,” Sonny said seriously.

Therefore, he would not speak nonsense but always tell the truth. Truthful children were good children.

Zachary got into the car. After placing the bouquet, he took the child out of Serenity’s embrace and sat him on his lap. He said gently, “Was it fun traveling with Aunt Ser, Sonny?”

“It was super fun. I had a good time with Laurence. However, Laurence knows much more than me. He said he was in preschool. I want to go to preschool too, Uncle Zak. I want to learn lots of things to beat Laurence the next time I see him.”

Laurence was better than him in self-defense. He was also stronger, ate more, and knew more than him. Sonny felt he had lost to Laurence, so he had to work harder.

“School’s starting in a few days, and you’ll be able to go preschool, Sonny. I hope you won’t be making a fuss about not wanting to attend school when that time comes.”

Sonny said with a serious face, “I won’t cry. Laurence said he didn’t cry, but his classmates did. He would just watch other people cry.

“I won’t cry after going to preschool. I’ll watch the others cry too.”
