The Billionaire's Heir I Never Knew Was Mine novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Now I Feel Bad For Him

"Aunty Sienna..."

The soft, cheerful little voice instantly melted every remaining confusion inside her.

Without realizing it, she smiled. Not the polite smile she wore at work every day, but a genuine one.

"Sky?" she asked softly.

"Yes. It’s me, Aunty..." Skylar answered immediately, sounding so excited that she could practically imagine him bouncing around while holding the phone with both hands.

Sienna glanced toward the clock on the wall instinctively.

The moment she noticed the time, her smile faltered slightly.

"It’s past ten," she said, surprised. "Sky, it’s past your bedtime. Why are you still awake?"

"Aunty, I miss you!"

The answer came so quickly and genuinely that Sienna couldn’t help but smile widely.

Just like that, the exhaustion from her entire day eased a little.

"I miss you too," she admitted honestly. "Have you been behaving well?"

There was a suspiciously thoughtful pause on the other end. Before he answered confidently, "Yes. I eat a lot."

Sienna raised an eyebrow immediately.

"Little man, are you sure that counts as good behavior?" she asked teasingly.

"...Mostly," he corrected quickly.

She laughed again, unable to help herself.

"But I also studied hard every day," he added proudly, "even when Daddy was not around."

Skylar’s words settled in her mind. ’So Zach really wasn’t with him in the last few days...’

For the past several days, Zachary had completely disappeared. No calls. No messages. Nothing.

Now she finally understood why.

’A business trip... maybe overseas?’

The thought lingered quietly for a moment before she pushed it aside.

"Good job, Sky," she said warmly. "I’m proud of you."

"Thank you, Aunty," he replied happily.

Then suddenly, his voice turned strangely serious.

"Oh, right..." he said suddenly. "Daddy said I can tell you my important request."

Something about the sentence made Sienna nervous right away.

"...Important request?" she repeated carefully.

"Yes." His tone grew serious again. "Aunty, can you come here? To my house?"

Sienna froze completely. Her eyes widened as she sat straighter on the sofa without realizing it.

’What?’ Her brain went blank for a full second.

’Did Zachary ask him to say that?’ The thought appeared instantly, followed by immediate panic.

"T-This..." she stammered helplessly.

If she refused, Skylar would definitely sound disappointed. But if she agreed, that would be incredibly awkward, right!?

Her thoughts tangled, she couldn’t even form a sentence.

"Sienna, it’s me."

Zachary’s voice returned smoothly, rescuing her from her mental breakdown.

"I’m sorry," he added quietly. "He surprised you, didn’t he?"

Sienna exhaled softly in relief.

"W-Where is he?" she asked weakly.

"I told him to return to his room."

In the distance, she immediately heard Skylar protesting loudly.
