Chapter 41
Willow’s sweet voice rang out. “Thanks, Daddy.”
“You’re welcome.” Zane’s voice also softened significantly.
Willow ate a spoonful of the chicken noodle soup before looking up at Zane and speaking up. “When will Chef Frye be back, Daddy?”
Zane answered, “Next Monday”
“Tomorrow’s Saturday..” Willow murmured while counting down the days in her mind. Then, she announced her plan, “It’s settled! Let’s cook dinner as a family on Sunday.”
She eagerly wanted to experience the life of a regular family of three. Zane met my eyes, concerned that I would say no to Willow. However, I didn’t mind it one bit. “Sure!”
Zane relaxed upon hearing that. He caressed Willow’s cheek and said, “We’ll do as you say, then.”
On the other hand, Zachary hadn’t eaten anything since he got home earlier. He was so hungry that his stomach kept churning and making bubbling sounds. Desperate, he opened the fridge to check if there was anything to eat.
Alas, the fridge was empty. Zachary rubbed his tummy while checking the freezer, which had plenty of ice cream.
He hesitated, knowing Annalise, whom he referred to as “Mean Mommy,” didn’t let him eat ice cream often because it was bad for the stomach
“But Mean Mommy and Daddy were already divorced. She can’t control me anymore! I can eat whatever I want now!” Zachary thought. He ate one ice cream but still felt hungry, so he ate more. Eventually, all the ice cream left him feeling chilly, and his stomach hurt a lot.
That was when the door clicked open. Following that, Zachary could hear Jessica and Steven merrily chatting
“Zachary will be happy once he sees all these things we bought him.” A smiling Jessica added, “Don’t you agree, Steven?”
Steven didn’t know what to say, so he could only patiently listen to the former’s complaints
“Daddy..” Zachary weakly snuggled closer to Steven’s chest as he asked, “Why can’t Mommy Jessie keep me company? Mommy used to stay with me whenever I felt sick in the past ”
Now that Jessica had become Zachary’s mot, he felt she should be by his side whenever he was sick. Steven couldn’t bear to see Zachary so weak since the latter was his flesh and blood
“Moramy Jessie has a baby in her tummy. She can’t wear herself out too much.”
Zachary couldn’t understand that. “But why could Mommy still look after me when she was pr
pregnant with a baby?”
