Chapter 742

It had been a long time since the house had heard such joyful laughter, much less the jovial chatter that presided over dinner that evening.

For the past two years, whenever Henry came over, Zachary would excuse himself for work.

Robbie had likewise remained aloof and distant.

Jamie and Ellie were the only ones who'd consistently remained on good terms with Henry.

Over time, Henry had stopped visiting.

Henry had only flown all the way back from M Nation this time in order to celebrate Jamie and Ellie starting elementary school.

He'd spent even more effort this time getting to know the children and hoping to resolve the tension between himself and Robbie.

Henry had all but given it up for lost. He definitely hadn't anticipated that this night would come to pass.

He was thus overjoyed. Henry believed that his efforts had not been in vain. At the same time, he began to harbor hopes for the future.

It was Henry's wish that Zachary's marriage would stabilize while Henry was still alive. The three children would acknowledge Cynthia, and they'd all embark on their new life.

After dinner, when the three children had gone out to the garden, Henry turned to Zachary, saying, “Cynthia's awake. Come with me to visit her at the hospital later.”

“I'll go. You've been up and about for the whole day. Rest at home,” Zachary replied.

Zachary had no qualms about going but thought it rather awkward to be accompanied by Henry.

“That's fine too,” Henry said, exhaling. He didn't want to seem too overbearing to Zachary so soon after the ice between them had thawed. “I'll accompany the children here. You go and visit Cynthia.”

“OK.” Zachary waved to the children and set off.

Along the way, Zachary received another call from Louis. Zachary grimaced when he saw the number flashing luminous across his phone but gritted his teeth and answered. “What is it now?”

“Zachary, I'm just about to meet Charlotte. I'm so nervous! What should I say if she asks me about what happened last night?” Louis' anxious voice came from the other end of the line.

Louis was like a bashful schoolboy who had never been in love, always running to Zachary for the slightest bit of advice.
