Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2414

Since Sonny was in the room with the bridesmaids, Elisa decided to put Sonny as the first line of defense. She told Sonny, “Zachary will be up soon. Sit outside the door and stop Zachary from coming in, okay?”

Sonny did not get it.

He lifted his face and asked, “Uncle Zak is here to pick Aunt Ser up. Why can’t he take Aunt Ser to the ceremony? I want to see Aunt Ser walk down the aisle.”

He could not be the page boy and ring bearer if Zachary did not take Serenity to the wedding ceremony.

Elisa explained, “Zachary can take Serenity to the wedding, but we can’t make it easy for him. We should let him go through some hoops to get to Serenity to make sure he will cherish and be nice to her.”

“But Uncle Zak is good to Aunt Ser. Why must we make things difficult for Uncle Zak?”

Elisa was speechless.

She slapped her hand to her forehead and said to Serenity, “Why don’t you talk to Sonny, Seren? He doesn’t need to do anything. He can just sit outside the door and stop Zachary from passing unless he pays a fee.”

“Oh, I can let him through if he pays a fee? I can do it.”

Before Serenity had a chance to say anything, Sonny volunteered himself for the job.

He loved to pretend he was a toll booth operator, asking for payment from anybody who wanted to pass through.

Zachary was always good to him. Sonny was sure Zachary would be generous to pay up.

Everybody burst into laughter.

Elisa gave Sonny a squeeze on the cheek and said with a smile, “Go wait outside for Zachary, my little toll booth operator. You should make him sing a romantic song too, and we want to hear it from the room. If you think he has done a good job, you can open the door and let him in.”

Sonny had no idea what a romantic song was. All he knew was that he had to collect a fee for Zachary to pass through.

He remembered everything Elisa said, but he did not understand what she was talking about. Still, he bobbed his head and asked, “Aunt Elisa, can I go out to collect the fee now?”

“Sure. Go on.”
