I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 365

Alistair’s threat made Arthur absolutely furious.

Terrified the kids would hear them, he practically exhaled steam from his nostrils.

"You play dirty."

Arthur spun around and stormed off. Alistair hummed a smug little tune. The moment he looked at Zoe, his expression morphed into a shamelessly fawning smile, his wrinkles bunching up so tightly they could trap a fly.

"Don't worry, sweetheart. Your godfather is just tagging along. I promise I won't get in the way of you and Garrett. Oh, look at my precious Lily! Come give Alistair a big hug!"

Alistair laid on the charm so thick that Sylvia and her husband could only exchange helpless glances. They couldn't really blame him; their Zoe was simply too lovable.

Lily stared at Alistair curiously. She recognized this grandfather figure too.

"Professor Layne and Arthur look the exact same age. Why is he called Senior Kendall, and you're not?"

Alistair froze for a solid minute, his mouth opening and closing as he struggled to invent an explanation. He tried to put on a stern face, but fearing he'd scare Lily, he awkwardly cleared his throat to gloss over it.

"It's just a title, sweetie. You see, 'Professor' is a very cool job, but 'Senior' just means he's extremely old and wrinkly."

Lily tilted her head, giving Alistair a highly suspicious look.

"Is that true?"

Alistair nodded emphatically. "Yes, absolutely."

Zoe's lips twitched as she listened, and Garrett had to bite his tongue to keep from laughing out loud.

The sound of rolling wheels echoed from the inner hall. Everyone turned to see Arthur marching out, dragging a massive suitcase behind him.

"Dad, what is this?"

Mr. Kendall Sr. was thoroughly confused.

Garrett was equally shocked.

Arthur scoffed. "I want to go to Miami and sunbathe on the beach, too."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Sylvia couldn't help but try to intervene.

"Dad, you're getting older. We worry about you traveling so far."
