Chapter 48
Zachary couldn’t figure it out. He had a vague feeling that everything had changed since Annalise’s and Steven’s divorce.
Feeling down, he went back to his room and grabbed his tablet. As soon as he opened his Instagram, he saw that Jessica had posted something He clicked in to take a look.
It was a photo of Jessica holding Cody, both of them beaming with joy. They were clearly having a great time at the amusement park.
Tears welled up in Zachary’s eyes again. He wanted to screenshot the photo and send it to Steven, but before he could, the photo disappeared
y with work that he rarely had time to take Willow out to play.
The amusement park was packed with kids. Zane had been so busy w
When she saw all the different rides and attractions, her eyes lit up. She grabbed my hand and eagerly bounced around, looking at everything
She finally chose a small playground and turned to Zane. “Daddy, I want to play here!”
Zane paid for the tickets, and 1 accompanied Willow inside.
Perhaps he wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. He followed us in as well.
Although Willow still wasn’t comfortable talking to others, she loved having me by her side in public. It made her feel like everyone would know she had a mommy now
“Mommy!” Willow said, clearly wanting to try everything but worried about tiring me out.
She snuggled into my arms and said, “You can just wait here. I’ll go play by myself.”
I understood she was trying to be considerate, so I smiled and nodded. “Okay.”
Willow headed for the slide. We had one at home, but playing in a crowded place seemed to bring her extra joy. She climbed up and slid down right away.
I watched her from below.
She squealed in delight, ran over to me, and gave me a quick loss on the cheek. “Mommy, I’m going to play again!”
It was rare for her to have so much fun. So, of course, I wasn’t going to stop her.
I smiled and nodded. “Go ahead.”
Willow ran off again..
“She hasn’t said a word to me…” Zane looked at her and said.
“It’s just because we’ve only just started spending time together, and she is scared I’ll leave her. That’s why she has been clinging to me more,” explained.
“Is that so?” I asked, although my attention remained on Willow.
